A woman’s online confession about being “sick of eating out” has struck a nerve with many similarly disgruntled restaurant-goers.
The unsatisfied eater explained on the community forum Mumsnet that she’d rather eat at home than spend money on an expensive outing.
“Second time this week eating out: one was a birthday celebration and the other for Father’s Day,” she wrote, adding that she spent more than $135 both times. “The food was worse than you make at home.”
“I just don’t wanna go anymore unless it’s somewhere really good, which is tricky when it’s special occasions though,” she continued.
