well the spaghetti incident was OPs topic, not really mine. i was speaking more generally toward the attititude in the thread about people "hating" /clapping back at the friend which seems misplaced at times as you acknowledge.
As far as the specific mom's spaghetti incident....
for 1) if someone is cooking, i let them cook. i might ask them if they want help but i'm not going to question their recipe.
for 2) i already know my friends that are pushovers lol so i cant see myself seriously questioning why they are doing something that doesn't suit them. i been knowing most of my friends for like 15-20 years so i know the motives behind their perceived irregular actions.
i was with my friend the other day and he was driving me to a baseball game because i didn't feel like finding parking and all that. i notice he is hitting the breaks hard so i like might have let out a noise or something like that. he got all offensive like "why you acting scared, i got ths dont trip

"... i was like "i didn't even say anything chill out lol" but then i realized that his girl be snappin on his ass all the time so the nikka got ptsd.... so i didn't even have to ask something goofy like "why are you on edge my friend

"... i was just like "your ptsd head ass, ol girl be snappin on your driving on a daily basis ha" he was like "for sure lol

" and we carry on as friends as usual.
