A partner’s bad habits can test even the most secure relationship, so it’s no wonder that this anonymous man decided to look to Reddit for advice. Having half the Internet weighing in kind of complicates things more, but it’s just too juicy to avoid commenting on (the opportunity to make puns notwithstanding).
It sounds completely ridiculous, but it’s also just the right amount of weird to be believable. If watching hours of My Strange Addiction has taught me anything, it’s that anything is possible when it comes to the weirdness of the human brain. Or is this dude somehow dating a chicken and just didn’t notice?
I’ve been known to rag on egg consumers before, and this much snacking is definitely out of control, but the wildest part is actually that the aforementioned girlfriend reckons her BF is being ‘controlling’ by intervening.
Most of the commentators are on his side, (though some have rightly pointed out that his lack of understanding of how a washing machine works is hardly her fault), but if she has an actual disorder then he should probably be a little less blasé about it. After all, your loved one’s health is a bit more important than some yolky pants.
There are some very real concerns here if she’s eating up to 15 eggs on a daily basis – namely, her likely insane cholesterol levels. Although the body has been proven to regulate cholesterol perfectly well under a three-egg scenario, “no studies have fed people more than three eggs per day.”
This woman has been significantly outdone, however, by an elderly man documented to be eating 25 eggs a day whose “general health was excellent”. Not that that’s a reason to hold off on staging an intervention.
The whole saga has reminded everyone of a similar story about a relationship drama involving Iranian yoghurt, that was memed to death earlier this year. The gentleman in question was hoarding rare yoghurts from obscure parts of the world, which were of course going sour, putting his girlfriend in a sticky (and probably quite stinky) situation. Though at least he wasn’t eating them.
Addiction is a terrible thing, friends.
