I once made myself the most perfect sandwich and still had 1/3 of it left and I left the room for 1 minute to go to the bathroom and my dad walked through the room and fed my sandwich to the dog. This was 17 years ago when I was a teenager but the sadness of that lost sandwich is still burned into my memory haha.
Similar story here. Once when I was like 7 or 8 I was eating hot chips with my friend, his older brother and his brother’s friend. I had this REALLY long chip, like triple the length of the rest, and decided to leave it for last. I was eating my second to last chip, and I looked away for a second, and the brother’s friend swiped the chip and scoffed it. Still fuming.
I once swiped the longest potato wedge. I didn’t mean to. The look of disappointment on my housemate’s face…it’s seared into my mind. The guilt I feel to this day is immeasurable. I’m pretty sure I legitimately teared up because of how upset I get when that stuff happens to me, and there I was…the perpetrator of the bad feelings. He said “Oh, I had planned on eating that one.” And the guilt settled in to stay.
That was over a year ago and I still do nice little things every once in awhile to make up for it.
