When a woman’s aunt helped herself to a spoon of dog food in her niece’s kitchen, she blamed her and has been complaining to the family.
The original poster took to Reddit to ask if she was in the wrong. She explained that she had a dog, and she liked to treat it to some tasty food. Along with the regular food on the shelves, she also liked to give her pet some ‘toppers.’
These jars, stored in the pet section of her kitchen, aren’t labeled as food for her pet. But, as she noted, they’re clearly surrounded by dog-related items. They were among “dog food storage, bowls, food toppers, kefirs, spoons for him, wet food, supplements, dedicated sponges to clean his bowls, basically everything that has to do with his nutrition.”
Most people would presume that a vaguely labelled jar of powder was probably to do with her dog and its food. However, the aunty didn’t deduce this fact.
Delicious Dog Food
The woman’s aunt had come over for a little tech help. She had recruited her niece to look at an issue with her phone. While she was busy with that, the nosy relative started digging around in the kitchen. She eventually came across the flavored dog food toppers.
“She felt thirsty, so went to the kitchen for water and to snoop a bit, it seems. Harmless, haha. Well, when I came back, I saw she was in the kitchen holding one of my dog’s jars.” She went on to explain that the label wasn’t marked with a dog, but she didn’t think much of it. Her aunt also had a dog, so she suspected she was interested in the dog food too.
“Next thing I hear is her asking what I use that powder for, and that it tastes quite nice. I immediately gasped and let her know I use that for my dog, it’s dog “food”.” The hungry, nosy aunty had tucked into the jar and been rather impressed.
But now, the lady, probably a little humiliated, is complaining to the rest of the family. “She has now gone to my mom, other aunts, cousins, and everyone who will listen to tell them how I “let her” eat a spoonful of dog powder/food/thing.”
There have been mixed responses. But, really, it’s all on her. As the original poster said, she’s welcome to eat anything in her kitchen, but maybe check the contents of the mostly unlabelled powder next time?
