> [@Kaio](#): > > Yeah, I can’t either. If HE did fries, why was OP making gravy and shredding cheese? And where did the burgers come from? He made the fries, but she had to reheat them with shredded cheese. The burgers came from the microwave. The gravy is very mysterious. She did not specify whether he was supposed to have made the gravy, but didn’t. It is also unclear if the gravy was meant for the burgers or the fries, or to be sipped from a mug. I hope the OP comes back to clarify things, so we can determine just how rude her spouse actually is. ---

> [@](#): > > so anyways after the kids and his burger was finished he sat down and started shoveling his burger in his face, while I was still making the gravy n fries, I winced in pain as I took fries out of oven he just continued shoveling. He ate the kids _and_ the burger, without sharing with anyone? Yeah, that’s pretty inconsiderate. ---

> [@El\_Kabong](#): > > He ate the kids _and_ the burger, without sharing with anyone? Yeah, that’s pretty inconsiderate. It sounds like he finished cooking the kids, but it’s not clear if he ate them. Cooking food that then goes uneaten is at least wasteful, if not inconsiderate. ---

Sounds like both of these people are just awesome at communicating. ---

I think it was inconsiderate but not rude. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rude-spouse/756434.md?page=2)
