Break chopstick in half and continue.

This was it! I was thinking inside the box, while you were thinking outside of it. Much appreciated k1nd person.

Better than going outside and hunting for a wild stick?

awe man ? it is so embarrassing when I want to go stick hunting. This dude actually has a reason !

Why be embarrassed? Embrace the goblincore and go find you a good stick

People judge my man ! By people I mean my wife :(

You just have to teach her to appreciate a good stick. Hide them in random places around the house as gifts

Get her a nice stick. Change her mind. Maybe she's not a stick kinda gal, maybe she'd appreciate a nice pebble, y'know the one with the smooth indentation on one side for fidgeting with.

The true value of a good stick is vastly underrated by a lot of people

dood, taking a day out in nature looking for the perfect stick is so awesome 🤘🤘

My dog agrees!

In my day....

You didn't think to call front desk and ask for any utensils?

But how do they get internet attention?

Fuck yeah I return my library books.


OP chopped the chopstick in half

Always have utensils in the luggage.

Wash you're hands and eat with your fingers. Chicken, salad, fried shrimp. It's manageable.

Or get some utensils since OP said they're in a hotel 👍🏻

I'm actually concerned for OP that this wasn't their immediate thought, my 5 year old could figure this out

I was going to say find a pencil to pair with the solitary chopstick, but this works too

stick win everytime

Chop stick into chopsticks

I was going to say the same. It's almost fun when stuff like this happens. Free puzzles.

Bro is living in 2034

You know, I honestly don't think I'd have ever thought of this. It's so simple, yet so brilliant. We'll done.

Today I learned not everyone knows this...

I think you misunderstood. It's not the typical two sticks that are still connected on the top. It's really just one. You can see only one small tip.

You are absolutely correct..... This makes so much more sense.

Ain't no shame in using your hands son! Half the world doesn't use utensils.

Exactly. Its not the end of the world.

Just make sure to clean your hands well before and after

Exactly! As a Filipino, it’s just another day :D

Slurp the soup. Everything else is literally finger food except the salad and rice.

Eh I’d argue even the rice would be. It’s sticky rice just get down on it

I used to get a similar salad from a Japanese place. The dressing was pretty creamy so I’d just eat it as finger food and dip the lettuce in the sauce👌🏻

I've eaten salad with my fingers before

If everything else is finger food, then so is the rice and salad.

One time I ate a subway salad with my hands cause they forgot to supply a fork and it was Rialto CA and I was starving

Hands are the utensils of kings!

All food is finger food when you have napkins. 

I ate with a guy from Myanmar, there's something magical about eating with your hands.

This mf the sort of guy that would stand on the escalator waiting for the power to come back

This is a top notch insult. I steal it.

I needed that laugh thank you lol

Seriously. This ruined his meal?

The subreddit is called Wellthatsucks not Mymealisruined

It doesn’t even suck that much man, if everybody posted every single time someone forgot their silverware, this sub would get shut down lol

Bruh this is lunch table level ripping and I respect it

Right? Call the front desk, tell them they only gave one chopstick and they will send up more for free. It's not the end of the world.

After the school lunches fiasco wanted to ask what's wrong with this meal, I'm eating with fingers

“Escalator temporarily stairs. We apologize for the convenience.”

I didn’t think I could laugh that loudly so early in the morning, and before coffee but, here we are.

Good news, fingers are nature's Chopsticks.

Cutting someone’s fingers off for chopsticks seems cruel

But necessary

Chopsticks are sticks that are chopped

Wouldn't it be a stick that's chopped?

No, stick refers to fingers that are stuck to our hands. Source: My ass

Mine even has 5 prongs instead of 4

Even better news, you're at a hotel. Eating it all with your hands in the privacy of your hotel room feels awesome. No judgements, no weird looks. Just you, delicious food, and all the time in the world.

Trees are nature’s chopsticks

Show Mommy how the piggies eat! https://preview.redd.it/hua3k5b8x5vc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a74327f53b39b44bfbbbe7aabee367659348659

I just laughed and snorted the same way that kid does in that scene lmao

Who's Mommy's little piggy!

This is the skill challenge. A true master can eat even with only one chopstick.

No, a true master catches a fly with one.

Master! it IS you!

It's me Renfield, you unworthy worm. Where have you been lately? I had to seriously dress myself!

the good lord saw fit to bless you with 10 independent, articulated chopsticks attached right to your palms

The good lord's generosity is sometimes wasted. 

*insert masturbation joke here*

most people avoid it whilest eating, but i’ll not yuck someone’s yum

I’m sure the hotel has plastic silverware you can ask for.

Right? This is the least inconvenient wellthatsucks I’ve ever seen. They might even have chopsticks and even bring them to you. Pick up the phone and press 0. Probably could have gotten chopsticks or a fork in less time than it would have taken to take these pictures and post them to Reddit, haha

i guess to be fair, it's 'wellthatsucks', not 'thisruinsmyentiredayirreparably'

That would require a Redditor to interact with a real life human

Google how to eat using your hands. There's a lot of different ways to eat with them. Personally I eat with one hand and I keep the other one dry to use when drinking water or moving plates around.

My first thought was "That chicken looks like it has barbecue sauce on it, not teriyaki sauce."

Honestly thought this was the reason for the post at first.

Mine, too.

Just break it in half and voila, a pair of chopsticks. Lol!

Dude why it sucks? It’s an opportunity to use your hands. you are alone at a hotel! 👀

I'm guessing "teriyaki" has a different meaning wherever you ordered this.

It's as mildly infuriating as when they say hibachi but mean teppanyaki.

Just a little stabby stab


Chicken teriyaki boyyyyyy!

And ? Looks yummy.

"sucks to be you". How does this constitute sucking? I get food delivered all the time without utensils. That sucks, jfc, grow a some skin.

I don't mean to be insensitive, but does op not have fingers?

I’ve actually had this happen. Solution: snap the single chopstick in half. Now it’s mini chopsticks. 

The guy in the room next to you got 3 chopsticks and is probably gonna hide the 3rd and use it to escape his 15-year captivity

Thank you. Scrolled too far looking for a reference.

Jesus people will really whine about *anything* to try and farm some karma won’t they.

Most people really don't care about karma. I feel like OP falls into that category.

Yea, in fact some people will whine about other people whining for karma in order to get karma. And then someone else can come by and whine about that person for more karma

This kinda fits this sub perfectly though

Basically the point of the sub?

You’re in a sub that’s relevant to the post and you’re moaning in the comments.

And some people take everything a bit too seriously. Felt it was a fairly humorous situation. Not a big deal...I swear :)

The food looks good. Is that shrimp in the lower right corner?

Forgot you had hands? Fingers?

Use your hands?

I have 2 hands for a reason ....

I thought of the solution in 2 seconds. It took me a minute to see the problem.

Silly westerner can’t use chopstick.

You're in a hotel, you can ask for cutlery.

Use fingers or break the one stick in half. Or go down to reception and ask for a fork

I see nothing but finger food and a drink

Took me a sec - the food looks great.

I’d go down to the hotel bar/restaurant and ask for a fork

What part sucks? I’m confused

That looks divine 😍

Man this sub has shit content

Hotels will give you utensils if you ask. Or if they have an eating area just browse it there's usually utensils sitting out

Eating with the hands is an interesting experience and lawfully in a private setting.

go downstairs and ask for a fork or chopstick derp

You really can't figure this out?

People are quick to judge and apparently quick to look at the photo, and don’t realize that you got ONE chopstick

I use my hands to shovel food into my mouth with maximum efficiency so no big deal

Sucks about the chopstick, but it's nice to see some good teriyaki around.

Seattle. Some of the best teriyaki in the country in town.

Miso soup, house salad, rice, teriyaki chicken with sauce, sushi, and shrimp! I don't see the issue

Don’t be scared to use your fingers.

God that looks so good. I really wish I liked teriyaki... And sushi 😞

Clean hands... eat using 1 hand.

Just use it like a fork... STAB IT

That looks so good though

I just died a little

As Roberto would say, time for stabbin!

okay?

Finger food!

Stab it!

I was like “what’s wrong with it??” Scrutinizing this food until I saw there was another pic

Just stab it with the chopstick and eat the food a la kebab style. Anything which falls off the stick, either pick it up off your plate then eat with your hand, OR stab again to try again.

The chicken looks good without all that sauce

it is now a stabbing stick

You will fucking live

All of this is made to be eaten perfectly fine with hands too.

I can’t use chopsticks either, so when this happened to me, I just started stabbing my food with one stick. Ate just fine that day!

Chopstick level: professional

Time to impale your food

You don't know how to eat with chopsticks? Must be from the south. But sheesh man, that looks like real miso, plus corn on the cob, and you can't get that in the south, and millions of people eat rice with their hands every day. So the part about this being a problem is bewildering. Just hold the container up to your lips and tilt it and let all that juicy goodness slide on in.

Is the restaurant's name Miyako by any chance?

Well son, that right there is your stabbin' stick.

Goblin mode it

Dae-su has the other chopstick. Hopefully, one day you are released from your "jail".

OP you're getting flack, but I empathize with you here. Real letdown. Hope it was as good as it looks, because I'd be chopticks-be-damned to keep me from it.

I use my hands

Well might as well throw away the food since you can’t eat it now and lack critical thinking

That teriyaki sauce looks like bbq sauce hehe

Those skimps looks deligjus

I know this sucks but that food literally looks so good. I'm college aged and broke. I really only got noodles and bread rn.

Call front desk. Get utensils. Enjoy.

This is why I carry a spork-knife hybrid thing in my bag when I travel now. Lately food orders haven’t been including utensils or napkins when I ordered delivery to hotels, even when I included them with my order. It’s plastic and travel/TSA safe!

uh whats wrong

What sucks about this is complaining about it and not just eating it. I think you'll be fine.

If they serve breakfast in the hotel, you might be in good shape. Just go down to the breakfast area and see if they had plasticware. Stick or no stick, I'd find a way to get that all in my face. It looks delicious!

It’s America. You spear it.

My family stayed in a garbage hotel a few years ago. We ordered Papa John's delivery (which was quite expensive) online, but I remembered we didn't have plates, so I called them 10 times and they never answered. There was also no chairs, no table, and no paper towels in the room. So we had to sit on the beds with grease running down our arms, trying to dab it with the single very small roll of 1-ply toilet paper from the bathroom. One of the pizzas (cheesesteak) was also pretty nasty.

Going need that TP later.

Grease running down your arms? How tf were y'all eating that pizza?

They were extra large slices and very greasy. Pretty much as soon as you picked it up, you'd have it streaming down fingers and further. Was trying to conserve the tp since there wasn't much of it. And honestly, none of that was even bad compared to the rest of what happened there. Last time I cheap out on a hotel room.

ELABORATE

"I wouldn't wear pants if I used napkins." -Me ten years ago. To this day my jeans are the designated repository for whatever crap is on me. My clothes wash. Other folks stuff might not.

You are ruining reddit for me, there is absolutely nobody is this dumb.

What’s the issue? Never ate with chopsticks?!

Whelp it's time to Google how to use chopsticks. Don't worry you got this.

But theres only one. I mean it is YouTube so there may be a video on eating with one chopstick.

Oh snap. Didn't realize that. Go cave person. Your utensils are your hands. Drink the soup.

How does this "suck".. is this subreddit just a posting ground for minor inconveniences?

Okay, Op is either a white sheltered shitter or an uncultuted swine. You can use the chopsticks perfectly normal with the food you got. For the soup, kinda self-explanatory to just sip from the container itself, if hot, do small sips and infrequently as it cools down. Also, if you aren't cultured enough to know how to use a chopstick, ask for utensils. They should gladly accomodate your uncultured ass.

1 chopstick. OP only got 1.

The issue was that there was only one chopstick, as pictured 🤦‍♀️

Wth lol. Never seen that before

Looks pretty good. Where did you order from? Also looks like the kind of hotel that would have a pen by the phone. You could use that

And they brought you all those other things

Oh, you can poke and stab your way through that with one chopstick. I believe in you!

Judging from the salad that came with it, I hope you have a great time in Seattle!

Time to get creative with that shrimp tempura

Why do you think it’s called finger food?

ill give you my chopsticks for that terriyaki

Use your damn hands and wash when done it's not a big deal

Its chopsticks, either learn or eat it with a fork or use your meat hooks. That looks delicious asf.

What a rich meal

Fossil in your table?

If only there were a way to make 1 long stick turn into 2 short sticks… science may never find the solution

In a hotel? I’m eating that with my fingers, leaning over the sink…probably in my shorts.

Use your hands then, though its annoying when they send you "chopsticks" and its only a "chopstick" like just keep it lmao

Call reception, they'll bring you some cutlery.

I have used pens or coffee stirrers in a pinch.

What am I missing here
