A couple’s date at a restaurant in San Francisco, California, turned into an uncomfortable moment as the girlfriend got angry over her boyfriend’s brief interaction with another woman. The girlfriend took to TikTok, sharing a video of the exchange between her boyfriend and the other woman.
The camera mainly captured the girlfriend enjoying her meal and conversing with her partner when the other woman interrupted. Although the other woman is not seen on camera, she is heard inquiring about their meal, asking, “I’m sorry, but what is that?”
The boyfriend responded politely, saying, “This is the smoked salmon,” while his girlfriend kept mute and continued eating.
Disturbed by the first exchange, the girlfriend shared her feelings about the interaction with captions in the video. She explained, “Call me insecure, but it rubs me the wrong way when other girls talk to my man and don’t even bother to acknowledge me.”
When the other woman left, the girlfriend made it known she was upset about the situation as she kept narrowing her eyes at her partner. She continued in the caption, berating the other woman for inquiring about a specific dish. The girlfriend further noted that the conversation put her partner in a lot of trouble. She wrote, “Now he’s in trouble for being polite.”
However, the boyfriend started conversing with his lover, which she claimed was a way to appease her because he knew she was “livid.”
In her concluding remark, the girlfriend stated, “Girls with no manners are the worst.” The video went viral, and several netizens shared their opinions. While some users opined that the girlfriend’s anger was unwarranted, others supported her.
One critic remarked, “Livid? Over this interaction? I’m tired for him.” A second netizen criticized the girlfriend’s reaction and claimed she was “abusive.”
The netizen wrote, “So you fly off the handle so often that your partner anticipates your overreaction, knows you’re going to turn that anger back on him, and starts to panic and attempt to soothe you because he knows what’s coming? B**ch, you’re an abuser.”
However, other netizens supported the girl’s claim, arguing that the intruder had shown a lack of courtesy. One individual asked, “Why is she talking to him, though, and not to her?”
A second social media user lectured, “It’s impolite not to address both people at the table. The proper way she should’ve said ‘sorry to interrupt you guys, but I was wondering what this dish is.’ I wouldn’t call it insecurity, it’s simply rude.”
Perhaps we should refrain from speaking to couples who are on a date.
