Man kicks out friend in food feud as social media erupts: ‘Life’s too short’
A disagreement over a host’s cooking and the quality of the food served to guests has erupted on social media, with others chiming in with their views and a psychologist’s opinion sought on the drama as well.
Wrote a person on Reddit, “AITA for making my friend walk home after he insulted my cooking?”
The poster shared his story on the page known as AITA (“Am I the a–hole”).

The man, who said he was 27, said he “hosted a small dinner at my place for a few friends last weekend,” he shared in his post.
“I’m no professional chef, but I enjoy cooking, and I spent hours prepping a nice meal,” he also wrote.
“Everyone seemed to like it, except for my friend ‘Mark,’” he also wrote in his message.
The man said that “from the moment he sat down, ‘Mark’ kept making little comments like, ‘Did you forget to season this?’ or ‘This is why I stick to takeout.’”

The man wrote that “at first, I laughed it off, but he wouldn’t stop.”
The man said that “that was the last straw” for him.
He continued, “Eventually, he said something like, ‘Man, even a frozen pizza would’ve been better than this.’”
The Reddit poster said that “that was the last straw for me. I told him, ‘If you hate it so much, maybe you should just leave.’”
He said the friend “laughed, thinking I was joking — but I wasn’t.”
Added the man, “I made it clear he wasn’t welcome to stay if he was going to keep insulting me.”
So apparently the friend “ended up leaving,” the man went on.

“But since he didn’t drive, he had to walk home (about 20 minutes).”
Added the man on social media, “Now, a few friends are saying I overreacted and that kicking him out was too harsh, while others think he deserved it.”
He said his friend texted him later on, “calling me ‘petty’ and saying I made him feel humiliated.”
The man asked others if he was wrong for what he did.
“You asked him to leave because he was being rude to you in your home.”
