You can discuss the events of a story, and the relative morality and social etiquette of the characters in it, even if the whole thing is entirely fiction. Functionally, it makes no difference if it really happened or it didn’t. Sometimes that matters, but here is doesn’t. You don’t know these people, you’ll never meet these people, and there’s no real-world effect of discussing this story (except maybe someone learns not to touch somebody else’s food?).
Fuck it, you could be a bot programmed to complain about people taking shitposts seriously. I could be an AI created to respond to your prompts to try to convince you not to complain about fabricated stories. This entire interaction could be four bots engaged in a learning exercise in a simulated online forum. Or maybe it was all a dream the whole time.

This sounds like the kind of flirting I’d expect after seeing '80s and '90s teen angst movies. In retrospect screenwriters just don’t understand how humans interact, or rather they just don’t care and go for madcap antics instead.
I’m way neurodivergent, and was completely unaware of human interaction, so I was looking at Pretty in Pink and St. Elmo’s Fire (etc. etc.) trying to decipher how all that works.
I became sexually active at 26 after folks from the kink community noticed my nerdy vibe, and they schooled me in some basic human interaction. (Note that I matrix-dodged a barrage of incel-to-fascist pipeline bullets thanks to some amazing strokes of fortune.)
After the fact, in recollection, I realized then that a lot of women in my young adult life were signalling me and I never knew.
I also realized my aunt was totally hitting on me when I was sixteen. That’s all sorts of awkward to reconcile.

“I became sexually active at 26 after folks from the kink community noticed my nerdy vibe, and they schooled me in some basic human interaction.”
Solidarity fist bump. My own experience was somewhat different, but there is the common ground of learning communication skills on a lag, and learning from a niche community of lovely weirdos
uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 10 months ago
That’s exactly my experience, minus the creepy aunt and the kink community. My girlfriend is the exact same and I still don’t know how we managed a first kiss. I wouldn’t miss it for the world now, though.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Anyone who sticks their hands in my food uninvited is not someone I would like a relationship with.
Respect boundaries.
Numuruzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
It’s not weird to touch other people’s food everyone does it just for fun. Go to your neighbor’s house and touch their food and you can laugh together.
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 10 months ago
ngl, I usually touch my own food, not sure how to eat it otherwise
Zron@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I simply unhinge my jaw and let it slide down my throats.
toynbee@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Well, given your username, I’m no longer sure whether I should allow my guts and food to interact.
I’m also curious whether you made a typo and were too stubborn to correct it, whether it was intentional, or whether I’m imagining the whole thing.
Honestly, I have so few people in my life that finding out one (or more) were a figment of imagination is a genuine phobia of mine. I’ve freaked out my wife by debating that there’s no way I can be certain she’s real. (Though the evidence does support it.)

I’m not sure if the guy was trying to protect his virginity, or if he was genuinely bothered by the damn bitch constantly touching his food. I’d be annoyed too if someone kept sticking their hand in my food every single day.
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
I’d be annoyed too if someone kept sticking their hand in my food every single day.
i’d say it depends on how hot they are, honestly
petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
Yeah, I met a girl who was 40 once who stuck her fingers in my soup and that was not hot at all because she didn’t say anything about that being in kelvin which really ruined my too-hot-and-spicy ramen but it ended up working out because I actually wanted just-warm-and-spicy ramen anyway.
SweetPomegranate@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You mean how hot is the food right?
marighost@piefed.social 10 months ago
Instead, he smashes my burger to bits without even looking away from his coffee, just stares at me
Without looking away from his coffee
Just stares at mehow he do that

She was lounging in his coffee cup like it was a hot tub.

Is this that feminist riddle again?
merc@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
“Touching his food” can run the gamut between:
Take one of his potato chips and eat it
to
Stick my thumb in his soup
If a friend or family member took one of my potato chips and ate it, I’d probably be fine with it. At worst I’d be a little annoyed. If an acquaintance or cow-orker did that it would be a little more strange, but not the end of the world. But, the other end of the spectrum is much weirder.
Grabbing a potato chip, if done carefully, will mean not touching anything else. Any dirt or germs on the toucher’s hands aren’t going to get spread around the rest of the food, but touching a liquid or something with sauce on it is different. IMO, touching someone’s pasta is definitely on the germ-spreading end of the scale.
TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
I can’t respond to your other comment bc snooggums is banned from my instance
It’s one of those things that works in movies because it’s something you can get away with if you’re incredibly attractive. There’s a whole stock images category involving girls licking their fingers, mostly in a seductive style. But, in the real world, it’s something you do with your husband or long-term partner, not a random cow-orker.
I think this is what people aren’t understanding. Someone who does this repeatedly surely must have learned that it’s okay/works from a history of doing it, so they’re probably very attractive. I’m pretty confident that most normies would react much more playfully/positively than the responses in the comments here if an incredibly attractive person did this to them
michaelmrose@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Attractiveness is both subjective and situational and people are often terrible at judging their subjective attractiveness to particular others.
There are also lots of reasons not to want to be persued starting with being in a relationship
Also peoples attitude towards germs and hygiene varies wildly.
The greatest sin of this comment is to suppose that because someone does something it makes sense even in their own subjective context. People are both weird and stupid.

I disagree, you don’t scratch your own butthole with your tongue unless you’re a cat.
ConstantPain@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That’s a copypasta reference of another post from the guy’s perspective.
From his perspective, she is just a weird coworker who likes to touch his food, and he gets tired of telling her off.

This is not flirting. It is socially maladjusted behaviour. Just because it has worked before doesn’t mean it is a good idea.
Pickup artists do all kinds of stupid shit that works that isn’t socially acceptable either.

I didn’t have to go past femanon to know that this was fake.

The correct response is obviously to demand to lick her finger to get your sauce back

A story that practically glows in the dark with “That Happened” particles.
Definitely a real event that really happened and not some sort of weird incel power fantasy. Only thing missing was a bit at the end where everyone clapped.
Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
OP has said they made it in Photoshop, Sherlock.

seriously who touches others food to flirt?!

Flirty people in movies.
Real people in relationships.
Weirdos who deserve to have their reheated fast food burger smashed.

garbagebagel@lemmy.world 10 months ago
LOL my partner is a germaphobe and would be very upset if I touched his food. I’ll cook it, sure, but I sure as fuck wouldn’t poke his food with my bare hands randomly at dinner.
Soup@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It wasn’t flirting, but this ADHD positive girl I was crushing on(and was crushing on me) once absentmindedly stuck the tip of her finger in a full glass of water in front of her to ask whose it was and I had to desperately fight falling in love right then and there.
Now, that was an accident born of silly brain vs purposefully fucking with someone’s food so I understand the difference, but I really like my story so…
