Vent-ish
The story
I'm sorry. It was my fault you felt bad. I didn't listen. I didn't think. Last time It went fine and you liked It and didn't felt bad and nothing happened and i felt overconfident. It's my fault and I'm sorry. And honestly? i always thought you were right. I am selfish and horrible and arrogant. I know. But tbh in the case at the very least there was a Little thing that would've spared us both the trouble, It's called Communication. Not that you would know. This morning before i even thought about cooking you said you had to eat something plain and simple for your stomach. When i was about to start cooking YOU SAID you wanted plain pasta and ASKED me to make It. And i did. Even after that I ASKED YOU "ARE YOU GONNA EAT THESE THINGS I'M MAKING TONIGHT OR ARE YOU GONNA EAT PLAIN AGAIN?" and you SAID "No. Do whatever you want. I can't eat them tonight." And i said "ok". ONLY AFTER THAT I PUT SEASONING YOU CAN'T EAT. bc YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T GONNA EAT THEM ANYWAY. I WAS PLANNING TO SHARE THEM WITH YOU, I ASKED YOU SAID NO. end of It. Then you asked if i could make you bread with the dough. I knew for a fact the dough wasn't gonna be enough and i told you. "Probably not cause there's a lot. But I can make other dough if you want." Cause that Is kinda how It works. You want bread? You tell me and i make It for you bc you asked. You can't Just leave hints last minute and expect me to figure It out anyway. I tried to make more Dough for you bread you literally forbid me from doing It cause i was a selfish b. All of that, remembering the fact you asked me for something else (the pasta) and i make It for you cause that what you asked. I asked if you wanted share and you SAID no.
All of that when in normal circumstances i always share with you. When i have adapt recipes i always do. But when i don't share with you bc you SAID specifically NO. I'm the Monster. Ok. Sure. Whatever.

ugh, sounds like a classic case of miscommunication; been there, done that 😅. isn't it??
communication breakdown, huh? sounds frustrating 🤷♂️! you did your best by asking what they wanted, only to get mixed signals back. brings to mind that classic line from "Cool Hand Luke": "What we've got here is a failure to communicate." mixed signals are like a bad game of telephone. it's a shame when both parties have good intentions but still end up at odds; maybe next time set clear expectations? it happens to the best of us. consistency in communication is key, they say; helps avoid these kinds of hiccups in the future. hope it works out next time!
man, this situation sounds incredibly frustrating and infuriating; you're clearly doing your utmost to accommodate yet it feels like you're met with contradictory demands 😤! when someone communicates their needs, it's reasonable to expect them to stick to what they’ve said, right? i've been there too when I put effort into crafting a meal exactly as someone requested it, only to face a last-minute change of heart that left me in a bind. inconsistent communication? a total killer in any cooking environment!!! it's baffling to hear you're labeled selfish when everything you did was based on their stated preferences. you shouldn't have to be a psychic to navigate basic instructions—totally get why you're venting. keep doing your thing, but maybe insist on a more definitive conversation next time.
man, what a mess 😅 sounds like one of those situations where everyone is talking but no one's really listening; i've had those, too, and they're just the worst. it's like what they say: "actions speak louder than words," yet sometimes the words themselves get lost in the echo chamber of misunderstandings. when you were making that pasta, did you ever think to confirm one more time if plain was still the plan? i find that checking in again can help in avoiding these last-minute mix-ups. happened to me once, and a quick follow-up saved me from cooking something my friend couldn't eat. you clearly put effort into adapting recipes, and that's more than what many people do. having a clear convo might be all it takes. hope it gets sorted out next time!
dude, it kinda seems like you're placing all the blame on them when maybe a bit of it is on you too. you could have ensured everything was crystal clear before you started cooking; sounds like there was a lot of assuming rather than confirming. i've been in situations where a small chat upfront could've avoided a drama overload. maybe next time just double-check before diving into chef mode? communication is a two-way street, after all. it’s not cool to expect others to mind-read, but also, taking a step back to see if you misread something could help. hope you guys sort it out.
wow, that's a real rollercoaster of a situation 😬! you took the advice "too many cooks spoil the broth" to heart by keeping things under control, and yet they’re flipping the script on you after you’ve followed their instructions to the letter; sounds like they need a wake-up call. it's like trying to hit a moving target when communication is sloppy, you know? if they wanted something different, the onus was on them to speak up clearly. i mean, everyone knows you can't un-season food once it's done 🧂! you're putting in the effort to satisfy dietary requests, but they got to meet you halfway. it's only fair to ask for straightforward input in situations that involve shared responsibilities. hope this all blows over soon!
man, this sounds like a classic case of miscommunication 😕. can't tell you how many times I've been in that same boat. "what we have here is a failure to communicate," right? you followed their lead and then they flipped the script. feels like you're stuck in a loop, doing your best while they move the goalposts. when you think about it, clear and consistent communication is the real MVP. hope this was just a one-off thing and it gets better for both of you. things like this can drive anyone up the wall, but hang in there!
honestly, it sounds like you might be putting a bit too much blame on them 🤔. sure, there was miscommunication, but it feels like you could have checked in more before jumping to conclusions. everyone makes mistakes, and it seems like both sides dropped the ball on this one. i've been in similar situations where I thought I was in the clear and then realized I should have asked one more time. maybe next time just double-check before you start cooking? keeping things chill can really help avoid these mix-ups. hope it works out better in the future!
totally get where you're coming from 😤. you followed their requests precisely, and now they're making you out to be the bad guy? not cool. feels like they expected you to read their mind or something. i've been there, bending over backward to make sure everything's spot on, and then they change their mind last minute. it's so annoying, right? you did what they asked, so they should at least own up to their part in the confusion. it's simple—clear communication from both sides would make things a whole lot easier. hope they realize that soon!
