It's rare to find a post from r/AmItheAsshole that results in a resounding "YTA" vote. Most AITA entires are written by people who know full well that they were in the right, and are searching for validation rather than nuanced opinions. But once in a while, you get a gem of a post in which some poor, misguided fool genuinely has no idea that they were totally the a-hole. The following AITA entry about a guy who got mad at his girlfriend for using a single egg from his stockpile is a prime example.
Few, if any, had sympathy for OP. Most redditors in the comments took the opportunity to brutally roast OP, more than a few aptly comparing him to Gaston from Beauty and the Beast.
“Or he’ll get hungry! And there are absolutely no alternatives! Like he couldn’t grab an extra orange or a granola bar or a banana or something. If he doesn’t get exactly 6 eggs then he might as well just starve until lunch.” said u/Fangehulmesteren.
“And you wont like him when he's hungry !” said u/3381024.
“Reminds me of my ex. One time I was staying at his and forgot to bring my moisturiser with me. My face skin gets painfully dry after showering if I don't moisturise, so while he was off getting ready I used a tiny pump of his Palmer cocoa butter moisturiser on my face so I didn't spend the whole day in dry-ass face discomfort. Dude came back in the room, realised the bottle had moved position slightly on the dresser and was immediately like ‘Did you use my cocoa butter?’ so I explained and he told me never to use it again otherwise it ‘might run out.’ Fucking palmers cocoa butter man, dude had a full jumbo sized bottle and he was so stingy he'd rather me he uncomfortable for the day than use a tiny bit. Some people are weirdly selfish and possessive.” said u/spaceandthewoods_.
“Eggsactly” said u/Fangehulmesteren.
“You. Out.” said u/the_siren_song.
“Didn’t like the pun? Sorry didn’t realize I needed to walk on eggshells here. Personally I think it was an eggcellent eggsample ovum a fun yolk.” said u/Fangehulmesteren.
“However, you should also learn to be a little flexible. If you were REALLY worried about getting hungry before lunch on a paltry 5 eggs couldn't you have just had an extra piece of buttered toast or a glass of milk or something? We're talking about the same amount of calories, roughly.” said u/ParticularAnt958.
