Here’s one way to lose your seat at the dinner table.
A woman was left stunned when her 30-year-old boyfriend of two years put together a PowerPoint presentation to criticize her home-cooked meal – and then put together another presentation to shame her for not finding it funny.
But he got the last laugh.
28 year old woman went viral on reddit When she shared the uncomfortable situation online and asked users for their advice and acted on it.
She explained that she usually cooks mostly for herself and her live-in boyfriend because she really enjoys it and because her boyfriend “claims he can’t even boil water without setting off the smoke alarm”.
One night while they were searching for what she considered one of her favorite foods, her boyfriend “got a crazy smile on his face” and told her he was taking notes and making a presentation. Was.
The confused woman “thought it was a joke until he woke up” and began guiding him through a PowerPoint presentation titled “Improving the Dining Experience at Our House.”
“I was in disbelief as he was critiquing my recipes slide by slide: ‘Slide 1: Too much garlic,’ ‘Slide 2: Pasta consistency,’ ‘Slide 3: More salt, less sass.’,” she explained. .
The woman was “stunned” and immediately decided to stop feeding her boyfriend and let him cook for himself.
Her boyfriend initially tried to “back down” by insisting that it was “all in good fun” and he was “just trying to help” but she did not appreciate the reaction.

After trying to defend herself for several days, her boyfriend began to get angry and claim she was “ruining the joke” which prompted her to start a conversation about their relationship and how much this presentation meant to her. Found it “offensive”, she wrote in another Reddit post,
“Well, what does he do? He smiles and says, ‘Oh, I was prepared for this!’ He actually grabs his laptop, connects it to the TV again, and gives me another PowerPoint titled ‘How to Take a Joke: A Comprehensive Guide,'” she wrote, adding that once again he was “very speechless.” Was stunned.”

“It was as if he really thought he could win me over with this next level presentation. Spoiler alert: He didn’t.
In an attempt to communicate with her boyfriend in a way he could understand, the distraught woman then created a PowerPoint presentation of her own titled “Why It’s Time to Move On: A Farewell Guide.”
She claimed that her boyfriend sat down with “the same smile” he had when presenting her slides, but by the time she reached her fourth slide, “Top Ten Reasons You’re Moving Out Today”, the smile was lost. And she was packing her bag. “Resources for Finding Your Own Apartment” slide.
“So, yes, we broke up, and I’m single, happy, and cooking for myself without any criticism other than the critical eye of my cat,” she wrote.
