A woman has asked “am I the a**hole?” for dumping her husband’s pal’s meal in the trash after he kept disrespecting their rules.
He Is A Law Unto Himself.
This woman’s hubby has a pal called Steve, who always tries to feed their cat human food when he’s visiting. “I have explained it to him many times: ‘Steve, do not give her anything, she is only allowed to have cat food.’ I have had to do this literally every time he has been in my house with food. Nevertheless, Steve persists.”
He Came Over To Visit – For The Last Time!
Steve overstepped the mark. “I came home yesterday and Steve and my husband are throwing darts in the garage. Then they go out and come back with some fast food, including a meal for me. I turn my back for one moment to get some plates, and when I turn back around I see Steve offering my cat a piece of GARLIC BREAD.”
She Went Nuts.
The woman has had enough of Steve ignoring her. “I yell at him to STOP IT already, grab his whole meal and dump it in the trash. He calls me a profanity and reaches for my meal, I grab it away and yell at him to get the hell away from my cat until he’s learned some manners.”
Steve Was Furious.
Her husband tried to diffuse the situation, to no avail. “They go back out to the garage and I overhear my husband trying to reason with him a bit but he’s not having it, and he storms out. Steve is angry, the husband is understanding where I’m at with him always trying to feed the cat, but also annoyed and says I had no right to throw out his meal. I really don’t want to see Steve in my house at all any time soon, but at the very least I don’t want him here with any food until he learns to keep it to himself.”
She Asked If She Had Overstepped The Mark.
The woman sought counsel from an online community as to whether she was wrong to blow up at Steve. One user said: “NTA [not the a**hole]. Garlic is famously *POISONOUS* TO CATS. What the actual hell?!?” Another user agreed: “And, even if it wasn’t literally poisonous and even if human food was okay for cats (and it’s not) – the fact that she told him to stop is 100% enough. If he is a child who can’t follow simple house rules, then he needs to get out and stay out until he learns some manners. NTA.”
He Doesn’t Have Any Respect.
Users pointed out that Steve clearly has an issue with being told what’s what. “My former brother-in-law was this kind of person. The minute you told him no, he was gonna do it. I saw the man knock on fish tanks at an aquarium once just because the sign said not to. It’s peak a**hole behavior.”
She Was Right To Stand Her Ground.
Because he was both disrespectful and putting their pet in jeopardy. One user said: “Garlic is toxic to cats. Steve thinks that he can overrule you in your own house. While throwing out a guest’s food is not polite, food was the focus of Steve’s misbehavior. Consequences are important. Your husband doesn’t seem to understand that Steve does not outrank you in your own house, and it would be a perfectly reasonable consequence to say Steve is no longer welcome in your house.”
Steve Shouldn’t Be Invited Back.
Another user called out the fact that Steve then used a slur towards the woman. “Aside from the attempted poisoning, what’s getting me right now is that Steve called her a profanity in THEIR home. That is a trash word to use against a woman – her husband should have shut that down immediately.
Husband Needs A Backbone.
Because Steve is obviously a questionable human being. “I would have gone in on both of them had my husband allowed his buddy to disrespect me like that in my own house.”
