Never criticize the person who makes you dinner; otherwise, you might be in for a rotten surprise. 

This Redditor recounted the tale of how their father relentlessly critiqued his wife's beans whenever she made them. They seemed to be perfectly fine for everyone else in the family, but for him, they were always "rotten." So OP's mother decided it was time to give him a taste of his own medicine and to show him what rotten beans actually tasted like.

The best part of the story is the subsequent revelation in the comments section from OP that all of this (and probably some other factors as well) led to a divorce where Mom got her fair share. Sounds like Petty Crocker knew what she was doing!

    r/pettyrevenge. u/Tentacle-Bride Posted by 4 hours ago Dad finally tasted rotten beans Mom takes pride in her beans recipes. My mom is from Mexico and can make a lot of beans. You can say. My mom loves beans.

    My dad used to make fun of my mom's cooking. He would laugh and make fun of my mom's beans. Fried beans, oh they're rotten? Soup-y beans with pork rinds, oh they must be rotten? Beans with salsa, oh they must be rotten? One day. Mom buys us the children, pizza, but still makes beans for my dad. He always bragged how Mexican he was because he would only eat traditional Mexican food if it was available.

    "Hey. Why do these beans taste funny" my mom waited till he finished eating his beans. "Because those were rotten beans. Now you do know what rotten beans taste like" Dad ran to vomit. All us kids laughed. Dad never said anything my mom cooked was bad or rotten.

    Tentacle-Bride OP. 3 hr. ago Mom strained the beans, fried them with lard. Dad liked using excessive amounts of vinegar hot sauce and margarine to everything he ate. I think he probably added a ton of hot sauce and margarine to mask it. He loved telling us kids we were not Mexican enough because we would eat anything else if there was an option. My mom played him like a maraca by placing the pizza and the beans. Dad willingly chose the fried beans.

    Resoto10 34 min. ago This reminded me of mine: I was probably around 11 or 12 when my dad came home from work and was incredibly frustrated about something. We were poor back then and Mom had made some neat chicken and salad (finally something other than beans). For some reason, my dad decided to take out his frustration on my mom and threw the food straight into the trash yelling something about this not being Mexican food.

    I was scared as heck but my mom kept her composure and said yes, I'll get to it. Dad went to watch TV while my mom opened a can of dog food and dumped it into the pan. I was aghast but she just told me to keep quiet. Dinner's ready! When my dad looked at the plate he thought that was beans with chicken and proudly proclaimed that was real Mexican food.
