Student Has Had Enough Of His Muslim Friend Stealing His Fries, So He Orders Bacon On Them Without Telling Him Anything
A story from a student went viral on the Ask Reddit community after he shared an unusual incident he had with a fellow student.
“At school for lunch, I usually get cheese fries. I know, very unhealthy,” the Redditor Mrprez180 wrote. The problem is that according to the author, one of his friends sure likes to steal not just his fries, but the food from their other friends at the table.
After being fed up with his friend leeching their meals, the author came up with an idea. “My friend who likes to snatch our food sometimes is Muslim, and he keeps halal.” Since the cafeteria has an option to add bacon on fries, you can already suspect what ‘trick’ the author pulled on the thief.
The question remains whether Mrprez180 crossed the line and acted inhumanely, or whether he was right in the given circumstances.

For those not familiar, it essentially says to cut off the thief's right hand. I think several cultures used to do this to thieves.

I dealt with an eating disorder from ages 12-20, which was 30 years ago. One of the lingering effects of an otherwise healthy diet and healthy relationship with food is that I won’t eat off other peoples plates & I just won’t share off mine. Even a basket of fries. I’ve put in a lot of work just to eat and am extremely mindful about what and when I eat. There are many valid reasons it’s never ok to take peoples food without permission. It’s a dîck move plain & simple. Also, I don’t know where people’s hands have been and it’s kinda gross when you think about it.

I understand. For a bit the same reason I feel super stressed and get angry if someone just touches my food and takes some without asking. Especially with their hands. Or double dip in my stuff. For me, the food is ruined then.

Actually, he can eat anything he brings, and does, and he's not poor. He's doing this as a passive-aggressive domination of the 'pride' or 'herd' or whatever. It's nothing to do with food, it's to do with who's in charge. Poop on that guy.

I don't know if that is true? Reading this I rather had the impression that it is some kind of "bonding ritual" for him. Sounds weird, I know, but try to think of it in a "Hey, look at us, we are good friends, a pack, we even share our food..." kind of way. Maybe he is rather insecure inside and needs confirmation that he belongs? OP now changing his food choice to something he cannot eat might then be pretty hard for him, because to him it either means that OP does not want to be friends with him or that he does not respect his religious choices. I would try to talk to him in private. And yes, OP can eat whatever he likes, even bacon. NTA, of course.

Dayum...Moocher dude is a prick...what entitles him to have a say in what anyone else eats? If someone is hungry, I'll get them some food, but someone mess with my stuff without at least asking( cuz I'll share with you.I won't let you be hungry) and they'll lose a hand in the process.

I wonder what the friend taking food would say if everyone took his food regularly. I bet it wouldn't be so funny if the tables were turned.

Im a moslem, but i laughed. Well, he avoids pork cause moslems are not allowed to do that, but he stole food which is also not allowed to do. Are u sure he understands his religion? Next time put some beer along the pork for a complete sin package. Lol.

Let's see. He's very particular about following his religion's restrictions to the letter. But he feels free to steal!!! Which is forbidden by his religion.
