“She cried and decided to leave early”: Woman tells husband’s 60-year-old Italian friend that Italian food isn’t better and to cook for herself, causing tension

Welcome back people of the internet. Italy, what can we say about such a historical country? The rich history only scratches the surface of Italy's interesting facts. Not only is the country boot-shaped and nearly anarchistic, it's also deeply pretentious as well. Italians have their fair share of stereotypes. From the rumors of constant cheating or cat calling, to them eating pasta for every meal, they're simply their own breed of people.

Besides the Roman Empire hiding pressing issues under the guise or bread and circus, Italians are known for their strict codes of conduct about basically everything, but especially food and drinks. If you've never been to Italy there are a few rules. Never cut pasta, never put ketchup on it, and never order a cappuccino after 11. Why? Because they said so, now let's get to the story.

In the story below, the protagonist is a woman whose husband has a friend visiting from Italy. She flies in and is immediately scathing about the quality of everything. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.

Both of these women seem pretty insufferable. The protagonist doesn't have to take everything so personally, and it's obviously not okay to speak to guests in that way. The Italian lady isn't much better though. I understand she hasn't traveled, but does that mean she's void of decency?
