4500 calories may not be that far over a pig out day (I don’t know; I refuse to count the calories I’ve had on my pig out days)–but this was one meal. Even if she normally eats more than 2000 in a day, 4500 is a hell of a lot for one meal. I can see that it wouldn’t cause her any permanent damage, but it’s enough to make someone feel like crap for a while.
Okay, maybe he didn’t think of that and didn’t realize it would do anything to cause her discomfort (a bit of a stretch). However, I still think he’s an asshole for laughing while she was in physical pain. Many people have done something they think is funny only to realize it’s hurt the other person. Normal people feel bad about that. They don’t have to turn up the TV to cover their laughter.
Question-these stories of his-did they actually happen?
It wasn’t so much that he fed that to her-although he should have told her about it beforehand-but that he thought it was FUNNY that she got deathly ill from it. Explosive, severe diarrhea like that HURTS. I’d rather PUKE than have that kind of diarrhea. And like most people, I absolutely hate puking.
The idea of making a meal out of MREs is interesting. That it was 9,000 calories and such, he should have mentioned it to her, so maybe she could have known and eaten a bit less. The farting-yeah, that’s funny. But when she got sick, he just gave her Amodium and casually mentioned, “Oh yeah, I fixed you a bunch of out of date army meals, which were about 9,000 calories!” No concern about it making her sick.
And it seems like he SET OUT to make her ill. Not that he just wanted to make something out of the ordinary, but that he wanted to trick her.
I don’t know if he’s a violent misogynist exactly, but he definitely sounds like an immature prick.
Repetition does not make the statement true. As has already been said - there’s nothing that shows that he knew that she’d react the way that she did. He prepared a meal for the two of them. He ate it, too.
I’m sure someone else will repeat the claim again. Still won’t establish the point.
Isn’t there a theory that there’s a tenth planet from the sun that occasionally knocks comets in Earth’s direction?
Dude in the OP is obviously a total asshole, but yeah, I don’t see the misogyny. I think Dio is just another person who has it in for catsix (of course, Dio has it in for just about everyone.)
Guess I was right. Again, basis for this conclusion?
Also, basis for “out of date”? (Yes, it appears that the MREs were 3 years old. It’s my understanding they they have a shelf life of much more than this. That’s kind of the whole point of an MRE.)
Not a “caring person”? Okay, I can buy this one. Guilty!
“Callous”? More of a stretch, but the other 11 of you think so, I won’t stand in your way. Guilty on Count II!
“Sadistic”? Sorry, no can do. Unless I can change your mind (and that of the other angry … people in this thread), I’m going to have to hang this jury.
Catsix, why are you going so far out of your way to defend this steaming pile of sloth shit? You said 4500 calories, but a good point was made that this was probably not her first meal of the day. He could have seriously hurt her.
As a matter of fact, I find it interesting that so many women on the SDMB are coming to the defense of this ass-ratchet. He deserves to be enemized with 9,000 calories worth of MRE’s.
I’m honestly baffled that people think it’s ok to fuck with other people’s digestive systems, for any reason. I don’t even know on what planet that’s acceptable. Looking at his menu, would you want to sit down and eat that dinner? If not, why not? If yes, would you feed it to your family without them knowing the ingrediants? Would it be just as amusing if she was lactose intolerant so he decided to feed her dairy because that’s something she probably hasn’t had in a long time?
Firstly MREs are food. to say they aren’t food is stupid. Pllus they really aren’t that bad. Considering the kind of things you get in a military cafeteria it’s not like they are the worst thing you’ll have eaten if you’re in the military.
Oh, and need I make mention of the incredible strain this must’ve had on her pancreas? This is why we are told to eat six smaller meals a day: it’s easier on the pancreas. If she had a weak one, it could’ve torn itself to pieces.
To me, he was needlessly cruel to someone who trusted him–and seems to have been nice to him, up to that point.
That equals asshole in my book. Immodium is strong medicine, despite it’s being available over the counter.
I don’t find this story funny at all, in any way. I hope this girl doesn’t see this idiot again and warns her friends about him.
I think he hoped that she would have a “reaction” and as is stated, he certainly seems to have enjoyed her humiliation and distress.
What a great guy! A role model for all! :rolleyes:
I’m obviously wasting my time. But here goes, once more. HE DIDN’T KNOW SHE’D HAVE A BAD REACTION TO THE FOOD. NOBODY KNOWS WHY SHE DID. HE ATE THE SAME FOOD AND DIDN’T HAVE ANYTHING BAD HAPPEN.
If he did know that she’d react that way, he’s an evil, possibly criminal asshole. But no matter how many times you (and others) repeat your assertion, there’s no basis for claiming that he did know that. So your “lactose intolerant” analogy fails. If I give dairy products to someone who I know is lactose intolerant, I’ve done a bad thing. If I give dairy products to someone who, AFAIK, is not lactose intolerant, I have not done a bad thing.
This really is not that complicated.
(And, except for the ham part, I would like to try that meal. I’ve never had an MRE.)
9000 calories isnt bad for a person per se…and she simply had the same laxative/constipation reaction a lot of people not used to eating MREs gets…
I have eaten MREs, and the old style C rations as well…as a matter of fact, in the winter i have a case of MREs in the trunk of my car in case of getting stranded, that combined with a solid fuel stove and a couple boxes of fuel tabs, and a water filter. I could probably survive fairly well for about a week on just what is in the car [i also have a ‘pumpkin suit’ - arctic survival suit that mrAru got for me a few years ago, bless his little pointy [ex] navy head=)] after all, I did winter camp in my misspent youth=) and once you have a few survival skills learned it is amazing how survivable you can be in an accident=)
I do feel for her - many women have a thing about not crapping outside their own homes [like work, bars/eateries, other peoples houses] and many women dont like to even pee at a dates house [or any other ‘dirty’ bodily function] For years I had a thing about not crapping away from home, but a year in the hospital sort of cured that little foible=) [hell, i could probably crap in a bucket in the middle of grand central station if i really needed to go and it was the only thing going… ]
He’s an asshole. He says twice in his glurge (and quite specifically) that she alone consumed 9,000 calories, but I’ll even be nice and go along with this unsupported assertion that he meant half of that. Here’s a 4500ish calorie meal:
2 Big Mac - 1120
2 Large Fries - 1040
6 Krispy Kremes, glazed - 1200
Budweiser (3 bottles) - 435
Butter (1 stick) - 780
Double that menu if he’s actually telling the truth about how much she ate. Is there anyone who could put that away in a single sitting without being, at the very least, physically ill for a few days?
