New game: Guess whose fault it is (1 Viewer)

[Madmarsha]

Why would you assume "steak" means "steak salad" when you're going to a burrito place?

Okay, my third hot take is that they were both at fault. Steak at a burrito place?

There are steak burritos, just like there are steak tacoes and fajitas.

There are steak burritos, just like there are steak tacoes and fajitas.

But it seems we're talking about a steak. Or maybe a steak salad. It's unclear. Not a steak taco or a fajita with steak where I understand it's a certain cut of beef that has been marinated and cut into strips. I would never order a "steak" as such in a Mexican place. Hence, why just an order of "steak" or "steak salad" was a two-sided error in this case.

 

[Cage1]

Well, if I'm at a Tex Mex restaurant and the wife sends me a text for "steak", I get the steak fajitas because 1) I married a woman who eats steak and 2) I married a woman who doesn't have time for salads.

Response option #1: "You're a strong woman with a multiplicity of likes, tastes, and desires. I would never want to assume, or worse yet, tell you what you'll be eating. It's your body and your choice what goes into it. I do apologize if there was any misunderstanding. I will do better next time. Would you like me to go back and correct my mistake?" NOTE: This has to be said with as much sincerity as possible.

Response option #2: [Laugh in her face] and say, "next time, you're either not getting **** or you're getting your own food. Now calm it down, Karen!"

I'd go with #2. But I'm stubborn and I like to argue.

“Calm down Karen” - I’m totally gonna use that one day. It’s a bold strategy and I don’t have a death wish so I will choose application wisely (and probably still die).

The thing is, she’s right that I know she never eats beef unless it’s a rare occasion where it’s served to us (and she’s being polite) or we’re at a nice steak house for some special occasion dinner.

But when I’m ordering at the drive-through, I’m in auto-pilot. If the text says steak, that’s what I’m ordering.

So she was right. I'd still argue.

Steak tacos...... smh. It’s carne asada guys.

And yes you’re at fault. I’m 3 weeks away from my 29th anniversary and with my wife since 1988. It’s your fault. Always

There's always cheesesteaks. But...Philly is a long way from Mexican.

 

[UncleTrvlingJim]

Basically correct. Though that’s something a girlfriend would say - a wife says “you know I’d never order steak.”

i was going to go with “When’s the last time you’ve seen me eat steak?”

 

[49erKiller]

This thread delivers.

Too bad Chuck didn't.

None of this **** would be happening to him.

 

[ilvdsnts]

You’re ALL wrong, it is Trump’s fault.

The thing is, she’s right that I know she never eats beef unless it’s a rare occasion where it’s served to us (and she’s being polite) or we’re at a nice steak house for some special occasion dinner.

So you just wanted to be assuaged by all the men here that despite the fact that you DO know your wife that YOUR mistake was HER mistake?

But when I’m ordering at the drive-through, I’m in auto-pilot. If the text says steak, that’s what I’m ordering.

So when DO you use your brain?

But does the steak have its head on?

You know any restaurants that serve their beef that way? Asking for a friend?
