Was this justified or rude?

[SearchMaster]

Rude as hell. He was using this fairly innocent act, which was performed in the middle of doing something very nice for his family, as an excuse to make a point and shock the in-laws. So now they think he's just a crazy man who throws food away for no reason and shits on their kindness.

Now I can completely understand his frustration. My mom always told me "only one family can live in a house at a time" and that has borne true in every situation I've seen. He's going to end up divorced anyway because the next blow-up will be much worse. He needs to continue to express his feelings with his wife and see if there's any way they can come up with the money to find a modest apartment for the in-laws to live in.

Lmao just noticed my image shows up in Tapatalk.

I'll vote rude.

Microbes aren't the only contaminants. Chemical floor cleaners...

Just think of it as a marinade. Cooks in well killing all the bad stuff and adds that extra kick the chicken needs.

 

[emperus]

That's a terrible situation for anyone to be in. I'm not sure how he even got there, supporting someone's whole family? Geez. Honestly, sounds like someone who was looking for a subservient wife and will use the fact that he's the only one with the income to control them.

One question, were the in-laws and their children at the altar with him?

Edit: there has to be more to this story.

 

[evident]

how many people are living wit hhim? the parents AND the other daughter + kids??

At various points, yes. The parents will sometimes leave for Asia and his sister-in-law moved in for several months when her husband passed. It's like they are tag-teaming him.

I spilled coffee on the floor today and got down on my knees and slurped it up.

no surprise. You are used to slurping on things while on your knees

Rumor has it he "accidentally" spilled the coffee while in his boss' office, but again, only rumor. We have no proof.


As for the OP's question, I think most will agree the 5 second rule applies here. I mean, it's still good right? Especially since it's going back in the wok. When you do real wok cooking, it's high heat. Germs get vaporized.

 

[gorcorps]

Eh, I usually don't mind picking something off the floor if it's dry. But wet food (especially not fully cooked meat) is not something I'd eat. I'd throw that piece away personally.

That said, thinking the whole batch is ruined is ridiculous. Throwing it all away is a dick move. He could have refused to eat it himself, and possibly even said his kids can't eat it, but he doesn't speak for everyone else.

Lol this train wreck is way more interesting than the chicken story.

 

[rpanic]

It was rude, but a symptom of a much worse problem.

The guy sounds like a chump, letting the in-laws take advantage no woman is worth putting up with that shit.

 

[slag]

Justified. His house, his rules, his kids. And not the least bit unreasonable.

Unjustified. His house, his rules, his kids. Unreasonable in my opinion. We eat bugs, dirt, grass, etc without knowing it every day in our every day meal. A piece of chicken on the floor isn't going to kill anyone and its wasteful to throw everything out because of what she did.

 

[Childs]

She could have rinsed it off then put it back in the wok, but yeah, it was rude. I dunno, I thought it was a given that if you marry an immigrant or first generation there's a high probability the family will move in if they arent financially secure. He needs to speak up and set some rules that works for everyone or else he'll get divorced, and his wife and her family will continue living in his house and he will be in a apt eating a tv dinner.

 

[slightlyhuman]

I have a friend who used to work with me. He dropped a banana on the floor(peeled) and ate it. I haven't spoken to him to this day.

Regarding teh OP: his house, his rules. However, the chicken would have been fine. Sounds like he fucked up with who he married.

 

[CZroe]

Microbes aren't the only contaminants. Chemical floor cleaners...

The counter is probably cleaned with whatever they clean the floor with.

 

[BurnItDwn]

To the OP, they will kill you in your sleep. Keep one eye opened.

 

[OverVolt]

Single guy now living with multi-generational Asian family. Funny how life do that.

You put food directly on your counters?

:thumbsup: His phone probably has more fecal matter and germs on it than his floor does.

 

[Bart*Simpson]

"A few years ago, my friend married a first generation Asian woman."

That's where he f***ed up right there. Whatever he thought his marriage was going to be like he was wrong.

It sounds like a great idea on the internet but the reality is far different. As he's discovered.

 

[shabby]

Kicking them out would be tantamount to asking for a divorce. His in-laws have no job, no savings, no assets, etc. They have two daughters and the other one is a widower with kids. So, he's going to be supporting them for the rest of their lives.

Seems like a divorce is win-win, no?
Can you smack him across the head for us? Thanks.

 

[MongGrel]

It's clearly more of a social problem than a sanitary thing and he's ready to explode atm.

Good man, good man.

 

[pcgeek11]

Good man, good man.

He just happened to spill it under the boss' desk....

We usually wipe off the cat butt prints first.
