Today, I was at a barbecue. I picked up a piece of cake and began complaining to the man next to me about how horrible it tasted. "It tastes like a s***!" I said. His wife baked it. FML

Throwing a dinner

Today, I hosted a family dinner. I made a roast, potatoes, green beans, and homemade bread. Everything went smoothly until I realized halfway through I'd used powdered sugar instead of flour. No one noticed at first, then my aunt asked in horror, “Why's it taste like cake?” The rest of the meal was eyed suspiciously and I almost fainted from the stress. FML

No one likes a douche. No matter who baked the cake, you don't go around telling random people that it tastes like shit

YTDI. When you're at a potluck style dinner... no wait, ANY kind of dinner that you didn't cook, keep your damn mouth shut and your opinions to yourself. I see your parents failed miserably at raising a polite and well mannered child.

Agreed. Obviously, SOMEONE made it. Why would you say it tastes like shit? YDI, dick.

Sometimes the truth hurts. If it tastes like shit, then somebody can't cook and should know about it. If they can't cope with that, f*** them, not my problem.

Hey, your pic is ******* gay and your name makes you sound like some dyslexic asshole elf, but hey, nothing wrong with honest criticism, eh?

YDI for complaing in soviet Russia you tase like shit

That's what I said!!! OP should have been nicer about it; maybe "What kind of cake is this...? Not my taste." But now she knows not to bring her shitty cake anywhere, due to the decency problems it has.

How hard is it to bake a cake? I've made two in my life time and they both turned out great, just follow the damn directions. It's when people start getting "creative" or start making substitutions that the cake starts tasting like shit. Yes, I know you can make cakes from scratch, but unless you're positive the cake will taste great, don't take it to a party.

Are you that ******* stupid? Congratu-*******-lations on making a cake from a box. You're just a real Betty ******* Crocker, aren't you? Seriously, try baking/making something from scratch for a change and then you can be critical of other people. Go **** yourself, asshole.

My dad likes to make 'smart' substitutions and additions to his food. I've learned not to eat anything he makes anymore. But I do agree, if in public, don't complain about the food, just eat it, or privately throw it out or something.

19 are you off your flipping meds? #4 was making cakes, not eating babies. my god, dude o_o

I have made cake from scratch and it tasted great.and I have never really baked anything before this cake. All you have to do is follow a frickin recipe.

No it's really not that simple. I love baking from scratch and one small mistake can ruin it. I don't understand why you would decide to tell a random person you haven't met that what you are eating tastes bad. Not to mention different tastes, it might have been a good cake but not one he liked the flavor of.

I make cake from scratch, I have done it several times but it really does take a lot of practice. Careless mistakes and accidents do happen. Plus, to make cakes from scratch is way harder than getting a mix and adding water and stirring it. and it was the thought that counts.

That's why you don't complain to strangers. First of all they probably won't care, and secondly it might be someone they know; like in your case!

I agree, your life sucks - there is nothing worse than shitty cake.

Don't you know? You're not aloud to have a negative opinion about anything anymore.

A New Jersey woman has no idea what is a douche.

hahaha best comment ever! honestly OP, didn't you ever learn that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all? YDI
