There are plenty of Am I The A$$hole posts that are serious and leave you with just a little less faith in humanity. That’s why the more lighthearted ones are great to sprinkle in with your reading now and again!
This woman was traveling and waiting in line to make her (free) waffle at a hotel breakfast buffet. Waffles took 3 minutes apiece and there were several people in line, so she waited quite a while.
I was staying at a hotel in Chicago last month with my children (M22, F18) and the place offered free breakfast for guests. They had the usual cereal, juice, coffee, yogurt and fruit setup. They also had one waffle maker that made one waffle at a time. It was in a smallish room on the 6th floor with about 20 or more people in there.
I was hungry but waited patiently in line, as each waffle cycle takes three minutes.
She was next in line when the woman in front of her finished her waffle and then (gasp!) poured a second one, presumably for someone waiting in the room.
There was a youngish adult woman ahead of me and just as she finished removing her waffle and I started stepping forward, she poured the batter for a second waffle, I’m guessing for a friend back at the room.
Three more minutes of standing there as the tables started filling up.
She made some passive aggressive comments that the woman did not respond to and then got out of line to eat her other food.
I said loudly something like, “A second waffle? I didn’t realize we were doing that! Another one?” She didn’t respond.
I let out a sigh and sat down at a table to eat my non-waffle other breakfast food.
OP did end up getting a waffle, as the man behind her in line allowed her to come back to make her waffle after the woman had gone.
When she was done, the nice guy who had been behind me tapped me on the shoulder and said I could go ahead and make mine. I thanked him and did just that. Then I thanked him again as I was leaving.
AITA for saying something and not just waiting or should she have made one waffle and got back in line for the second one? What if she decided to make waffles for two more friends? That’s six more minutes for everyone standing there.
She realizes this isn’t too serious of a situation but she’s still thinking about it, and wants Reddit to weigh in.
Typing this out I realize this is one of the most minor situations I’ve seen here. 🙂 Yet I’m still thinking about it, so here we are.
I’m looking forward to the comments!
I mean, it’s not as if she was (probably) getting two waffles for just herself.

This would be a lot to deal with first thing in the morning.

Honestly, it’s nobody’s business why she needed 2 waffles!

This is funny but also don’t be passive aggressive to strangers. It’s bad karma.
What’s your response to this one? Give it to us in the comments!
