This birthday boy was left with a queasy stomach after eating his GF's birthday cake 2 days too late! 

Everyone dates for different reasons — maybe you love your partner for their brains, their beauty, their kindness, or their personality. Not everyone is the whole package, but that doesn't mean you can't have a wonderful relationship regardless. No one is perfect, and the deeper you fall in love with someone, the more charming you find their idiosyncrasies. 

However, this person may be dating a himbo, assuming he's handsome, because he seems to not have much common sense or brains. I mean, who am I to judge, but… I'd be a bit worried about anyone who gets to adulthood without learning about basic food safety things. Like, if you buy a container of yogurt from the store, where does it go? Not the pantry, not the counter, but the fridge. Why? Because otherwise it'll go bad, and it won't be edible in a few hours. As an adult, you obviously don't know if every food needs to be refrigerated. Luckily, you'll either buy your food in the cold section, so you know that's where it must stay. Or, as is often the case, the food label will instruct you to refrigerate the item after opening. Easy peasy. 

This BF didn't refrigerate his cheesecake, which is a real shame. There's a lot going on here, though. First of all, who waits 2 days to eat a birthday cake? Brother, eat that on your birthday! And if possible, eat it with the lovely lady who gifted it to you! Second of all, if this was me, I would've took this secret to the grave. But this guy took the opposite path of not only telling his GF, but actually blaming her for the mistake he made. She's already a mom to a few kids… she doesn't need a manchild in her life to add to her stress. 

Check out the text exchange below, and then read what the bemused audience of commenters had to say to this person! I don't blame her for not accepting any blame in this situation. If anything, she went above and beyond, while her BF here has his head in the clouds.

    'Am I overreacting by calling my BF choice words for telling me he needed a surprise food present description?'

    I'm sorry but the idea of having "never brought cheesecake" into his life before is sending me

    I real appreciate you and your thoughtfulness and kindness and generosity but a little heada up would have gone a long way I've never bought cheesecake in my life

    Here's how it went down, according to this weary GF

    I was at a tedious work training event all day and in a rush to pick up my children at a specific time (which BF knew of). On the way, I decided to grab my boyfriend dinner and a dessert (a mini cheesecake) as a surprise drop-off before

    getting my kiddos. He told me he was done at 4, but he wasn't. I was starting to get stressed about picking up my kids, and then he said he was available. I dropped off the food, gave him a quick cuddle, and left.

    Two days later, I get a weird text from him saying I was supposed to spell out that I got him cheesecake. Since when does a surprise drop-off come with a full play-by- play?

    He said he left the dessert out, ate it later, and now he's going to be sick (according to his Google search).

    What really gets me is that he texted me this after asking how my day was, and I told him I was actually having a really stressful day at work, had a chill all day, felt super hungry and cold, and was super crabby apple.

    Nilla-Waf... What kind of idiot are you dating who doesn't know what a cheesecake is and eats food that's been left outside for 2 days?

    ButteryP... I'm confused - has he never seen a cheesecake in his life, and he couldn't be bothered to read the box or ponder whether this mystery food might be

    perishable before consuming it?... Weaponized ignorance. If he gets food poisoning, it's his own dumb fault.

    He does have an odd way of speaking to her

    DismalMa... Why does he text like a scammer?

    CameraF... NOR. He's an adult who should know to put food up. He should also have enough sense to know maybe eating some things after sitting that long isnt the best idea
