A frustrated young man has sparked the wrath of his girlfriend after offensively picking at her mother's soup, sparking a social media storm.
Sharing his story on the popular forum Reddit, the guy said that the couple was at his girlfriend's mother's house when they were offered seafood soup.
“[My girlfriend's mom] made it before and it was really good, but she added a few pieces of ginger for flavor,” he noted.
“I just, I just hate biting into ginger,” he said. “I don't care about the taste, I just can't stand the taste of ginger.”
The guy said he once bit into a piece of ginger in her previous soups and it “almost ruined the whole meal.”

This time, the man said, he asked his mother if she had used ginger.
She replied that yes, she just forgot to remove the pieces.
“She seemed genuinely apologetic,” the man recalled. “I told her it was no problem and I had an idea.”
He continued: “I noticed a colander hanging on a shelf on the kitchen counter and went into the kitchen, strained the soup into another bowl (which I asked if I could have) and pulled out a few pieces of ginger.”
“The key to understanding the ginger problem is to understand the mother's intentions when she offers the soup to her child.”
He then “returned the remaining strained pieces of potato, fish, shrimp, scallops, etc. back to the liquid.”
The young man said, “I even [apologized] for the extra dishes and offered to help clean up later.”
The girl's mother didn't seem to mind at the time, but the Reddit user's quick reaction didn't sit well with his partner, who remained silent during the drive home.

“She told me that I didn't need to be so rude and make a show of my feelings about her mother's food,” he said.
However, the guy tried to justify himself, saying that he liked the food, “except for a few ingredients.”
“Although it still didn't improve the situation,” he added.
The Reddit community almost unanimously labeled the young man rude and ill-mannered.
“This is… really awkward for you,” one user noted.
“No, you can't do that. Where are your manners?”
“If we took them out of individual spoons it would be a lot less dramatic,” added another.
“Stop being so picky or just don't eat it out of your bowl,” said a third. “No, you shouldn't get a colander and do that. Where are your manners?”
Carol Lieberman, MD, a psychiatrist in Beverly Hills, California, commented on the ginger situation.
A relationship expert described the young man's behavior in an interview with Fox News Digital as a “red flag.”
