AITA for getting upset with my girlfriend’s sister for touching food with her feet

Okay so I (19M) went to my girlfriend’s (19F) house for the first time and after meeting her family, we decided to watch a movie in the basement with her little sister who’s around 10-12. I had no problem with that, and we were watching a pretty PG movie so it wasn’t an issue.

But halfway through the movie we ordered some pizza and we had it on a plate on the coffee table. We were just eating slices one by one. And then I realized her sister was resting her feet on table (barefoot) and her feet were touching the pizza. It’s not like she was just skimming it, I mean she practically had her entire foot leaning against the top of the pizza. I found this really weird, and was avoiding eating the slices she touched, but ended up eating it anyways because I didn’t want to make a scene.

Afterwards I talked to my girlfriend about this and she said that I was being dramatic and its not a big deal. It escalated after that and we got into an argument. I would understand if her sister was a toddler or a very young child, but she seems old enough to know that you should’t be touching other’s food, especially with your feet.

So I just wanna know, AITA for getting upset/angry about this?

  1. NTA I would never eat there anymore. Maybe this is why they say “you do not eat at everyone’s house”

  2. NTA, eww.

    Not sure why you wouldn’t say anything in the moment though. Even if it’s a kid. Or move the pizza even though it sounds like the damage was done.

  3. NTA. 1. Gross. 2. So she was just walking around with pizza grease on her feet? That’s so weird. 3. Eww, just eww.

  4. NTA.

    You weren’t in any way dramatic about it. You didn’t make any scene, and you spoke to your gf privately so as not to embarrass her sister.

    It is weird. Your gf was probably just unreasonably defensive about her sister.

    If there is a next time, I’d just use a plate for all the pizza I plan to eat and circumvent any possible foot-touching scenario.

  5. Good lord these nonsense stories. I was with you until you said you ate the slices that she touched with her feet. You just want strangers on the internet to yell at you, right? It’s exciting, right?
