Let’s say you go over to your new friend’s house for the first time. She lives by herself in an apartment and is glad for some company. You two had planned on watching movies, playing games, etc. But when you arrived, it seemed like everywhere you sat, on every chair, wall, even the bed and desktop and in the kitchen, there were dried boogers. She even offered you a sandwich with one sitting between the cheese and lettuce. Would this bother you at all? And if so, would you say anything to your new friend who doesn’t mention them at all?
This is an interesting story.
Really, I don’t know what I’d do if someone gave me a booger sandwich.
Or maybe I’d just eat it.
Let me think about it and get back to you.
Lollipops.
A booger sandwich???! Um, wow. The rest of it would bother me but not nearly so much as that. Is there anything else in her behavior to indicate you should be worried? Well, it’s a new friend, which would mean to me “no longer a friend”. I don’t make friends with people who offer me booger sandwiches! I’d just never go to her house/eat anything from her again.
Sure, she was nice, but “hospitable” does NOT mean booger sandwich. That is pretty much the antithesis of booger sandwich.
Ok, you have two options here. I mean, if you tell her, you ARE going to hurt her feelings. However, since you are such a new friend, you CAN tell her and hurt her feelings a bit for the long run. I mean, if she wants new friends, she can’t be serving up boogers all the time.
Or you can keep your mouth shut and be friends with her and six months down the line find yourself shouting STOP FEEDING ME BOOGERS BITCH!
I suppose… I did ask another friend and he suggested I just invite her over to MY house instead. But I’m worried if she’ll bring her problem to my furniture…
