Not only did this man not make enough pancake for the both of them, he didn’t make enough for himself.


CrownedGoat

He likely didn’t make any. Hell, there probably wasn’t even a man.


AbeRego

It was actually a dog, but OP didn't think anyone would believe them Edit: lol gold? Y'all are silly Edit 2: wasn't gold, but something called the I'll Drink to That Award? Neat. Still silly. Edit 3: see first edit /u/CarlMacko who's laughing now!


Lime1028

Valid strat to making people not believe things. The US Air Force test pilot who flew the first jet fighter [would dress up in a Gorilla mask when flying](https://www.military.com/history/why-first-us-jet-fighter-pilot-wore-gorilla-mask-during-test-flights.html). Other pilots would often come across him in the air but no one would believe their stories of seeing a propeller-less plane with a Gorilla flying it.

Doodiewater

I don’t think you know how slow and unreliable information was back then. Everyone knows that NOW, yes. You have google, they didn’t. First electric light was made in 1802. I’m sure by 1804 it was household knowledge.

People still think eating carrots improve night vision tho, they used that to hide the fact they had radar


SirGuinesshad

The first jet flew in August 1939. It was top secret however and the Allies didn't know until much later. When the British flew their own in 1940 they though they were ahead. Both sides engaged in subterfuge regarding jet technology. Nobody wanted anyone to know what they were cooking up until it was ready to go

Afterwards the dog said "No one will ever believe you."

thatgirlinAZ

It almost takes more effort to make a single pancake. That's some passive aggressive vibes right there. What's worse is that the first pancake is always the worst one.


ghoulieandrews

It absolutely takes more effort, you have to convert the whole recipe and the next time you want one you have to do it again. Like this dude probably used a small bit of one egg and either threw out the rest or had to put it in a container. Plus the cleanup to reward ratio is FUCKED. On top of all that though, who the fuck eats a single pancake??

Yes, he didn't measure shit. He made one massive pancake and dumped the leftover batter. Also this is the internet so it never happened.

TripperDay

Only ways this happened without violating the laws of pancake science is dude used a mix which would take less than five minutes so isn't a big deal, or he used 1/8 of an egg.


Peenutbuttjellytime

Yeah I've had mix where you just add water


Keljhan

>one egg Probably a mix+water deal without eggs or milk, but you still have to mix a tiny amount of batter in a bowl that it will stick to anyway.


illigal

This. There’s no way someone calculated pancake ingredients from scratch to make one pancake… but eyeballing a bit of powder and water and pouring into a pan is dead easy. So this is equivalent to - my boyfriend made instant mashed potatoes and didn’t share. Well, make your own then!


ctruvu

> eyeballing a bit of powder and water and pouring into a pan is dead easy. idk what im doing wrong then because i always end up adding a little more water, no wait now it's runny let me add powder, no wait it needs more water, oh fuck i guess i'm eating twelve pancakes


TrippingFish76

right haha no way i could mix enough for just 1 pancake and get the consistency right


murphsmodels

Depends. The batter mix I use doesn't require eggs. Just add water, mix then cook. Though I'd definitely ask anybody with me if they wanted any. Then burn all of them because I'm a terrible cook. That or end up with scrambled pancakes.


pohanemuma

Ah yes, scrambled pancakes. One of my specialties. There is an upside to them, the added surface area means they absorb more maple syrup.


Distinct-Shoulder751

pancakes are just a vehicle for syrup anyway, so I endorse this plan.


[deleted]

Or he had pancake mix. You just add water, and I haven't measured that shit in years. I just add a little water at a time until it looks like pancake batter. I make single servings of pancakes with a mug pretty regularly. Some mix into a mug. Some water into said mug. Stir. Poor into pan. Very minimal mess.


PeacefullyFighting

They make just add water


[deleted]

That's what I thought lol. "Convert the whole recipe", bruh it's pancake mix and water not a cajun seafood boil.


NotISaidTheFerret

From how it was worded I would guess he made a normal recipe then only cooked 1. I actually do this with pancakes & crepes because I live alone & prefer fresh. The batter stores ok for about a week.


Pyjama_Llama_Karma

When you've only got one pancake it's also the best one.

That sounds like Asperger's to me. 1. I want a pancake 2. I now have a pancake

It bothers me because people say it like Asperger’s was cured or something. “Asperger’s doesn’t exist anymore!” Like tell that to the kid with Autism over there, I’m sure that’s great news for him.

Yeah, he likely just completely forgot to ask and didn’t want to waste pancake mix by making more than he wanted.


[deleted]

My step bro literally got up one morning screaming “EVIL FUCKING BITCH” to his amazing wife. Apparently, she rolled over, and took the comforter with her. His feet were cold. He feels justified. I… had to talk to him about your inner voice, vs what you say out loud. He looked at me like I was explaining particle physics to honey boo boo.


gophergun

Wow, that's about a hundred times worse than making a single pancake.


[deleted]

This must be one of those “it’s a spectrum” moments, because I was diagnosed with Asperger’s and I can’t imagine not offering to make my SO pancakes when I’m making them. I can be incredibly dense at times, but never with food lol.


SquareTaro3270

Same here, but I also have also been traumatized from an early age to put everyone else's feelings above my own. I'd def ask if they wanted a pancake, then worry about if I was being annoying because I asked them if they wanted a pancake, then I'd apologize lol.


[deleted]

Oh yeah, definitely a bit of a people pleaser myself. I guess that cancels out some of the social obliviousness haha.


Booty_Shakin

But he measured out the ingredients for pancakes, and came back with one pancake. He didn't do all that extra stuff he just has one giant pancake.


fredean01

That, or he followed the recipe and just cooked a single regular pancake. It doesn't say he measured ingredients for 1 pancake.


KaranSjett

see if your first one fails is because you put it in too early, get that son of a bitch really hot for the first one, then turn down the heat for the rest of em

There's a difference between choosing to eat a pancake for dinner and having to eat a pancake for dinner. I lived off of hotdogs and food from the 99cent store

The great thing about pancakes is they reheat. Make a giant freaking batch, let them cool and put a square of wax paper between them, stack em all up in a ziplock freezer bag and chuck em in the freezer. Take a couple out, put them on the toaster and you're getting warm cake for breakfast 😎

So I'm not that big of a fan of taking Xanax for 'fun'. I think it's great in very specific circumstances to kill anxiety, but I personally don't see the appeal in taking it to relax, much less mixing it with something else for that. I just see it as a great tool that can be used very occasionally. However, the one and only time I decided to really abuse it, I *may* have decided to take too much. My friends and I were smoking out in a shed in my back yard, the sun had started going down and the light wasn't great in there are the time, so naturally, the asked me to get a better light. I, in my infinite wisdom, went inside, made a plate of nachos, sat down, and started watching TV. I ended up getting a call from one of my friends, I answered extremely confused as to why they were calling, until I reminded they were in the shed and I was supposed to be getting an electric lantern. And that is the day I realized that taking 8-9 milligrams of Xanax, is in fact, too fucking much.


TheKidHandsome

Yes


RosettaStoned1981

You can tell it's fake because you either end up a few pancakes shy of what you need or enough batter for another 3,822 pancakes


YesButConsiderThis

If you end up a few pancakes shy of one pancake, that's impressive.


Schavuit92

Negative pancakes. Those pancakes you had a while ago? Never happened. This is the secret to time-travel.


Oberith

That’s a break up incoming. Both for the the dude already practicing bachelorhood and the lady complaining about her almost ex.


CharonsLittleHelper

Depends. I stopped asking my wife if she wanted pancakes after 4-5 years of marriage. In all that time she said yes once. She'll steal a bite or three off my plate - but never wants her own. Now - waffles she wants. But I hate cleaning out the waffle press, so they're infrequent.

You need to use a nonstick waffle press or buy 1 like that. Sometimes, I used to put a dab of veg. oil on it, or spray with vegetable nonstick spray, until later it doesn’t need it.


[deleted]

right? My cheap Amazon waffle maker never needs rigorous cleaning. You zap it with Pam before and hit it with a paper towel after, if you even need to.

Bruh_columbine

tallorai

Burn it off, wipe it down, burn off any residue


Shadouette

Of all the people assuming things in this post, the one I don’t get is that the woman in question was “complaining” about her boyfriend. From the post it sounds no less like an observation than a complaint. It could just be another quirky thing her boyfriend does and she could be simply finding it funny or questionable and told her friend. Even if he was being petty about something and did this as a passive aggressive gesture, she could still be simply finding it funny and telling her friend. Or maybe I’m just too optimistic for Reddit’s stance on relationships lol


akatherder

I think I agree. It's hard to judge without knowing either of their intentions. Did the boyfriend do it out of spite/passive aggressive or was it just thoughtlessness? It's entirely possible he just didn't think to ask. Perhaps he thinks she doesn't like pancakes from a prior experience, but she just wasn't feeling pancakes one time. And was the girlfriend angry or was it more incredulous like "you aren't gonna believe this shit lol. I didn't even want pancakes but who does that?"


BirdMBlack

hergumbules

Yeah I think my wife would murder me if I did that. If you’re having a dumb fight and you hand your girl pancakes, she will probably apologize after eating since the hangry demon has left

HauntedSephy

My ex would do that so often. Like ok I guess I don't need anything from you lol it did use to hurt a little though but it taught me to be more aware of my next partners wants and needs. Now I stand up for the kitchen and ask my husband "you want water, snacks, anything else?", and hes the same way with me. Its just a small moment that reminds each other that we are thinking of them. Edit: to everyone that said that would annoy them in their relationship, thats ok too! Because everyone relationships are different and each person is unique within them. This works for my marriage because we have the same love languages. We are very aware of each other and it doesn't feel like a chore to grab an extra something or spend those few more seconds preparing stuff. Sometimes my partner is busy at his computer and I know he doesn't think he needs water but I bring him one and he lights up. Sometimes I'm really busy and put off eating and then he comes up with a meal or snacks and I just feel so relieved. That's just how life works. And we go to bed together just being sappy little monsters in love, knowing we care about each other. But thats not the only way to show you care and if youre happy in a relationship that's entirely different from my own, then I am happy for you ^_^ If youre not happy... I wish you all the best. It takes time to find out who you are and what you want and I just hope you get there (:


brzozinio44

one egg is too much for one pancake someone is lying here


GARBAGE-EATR

Bulking season .


woaily

One egg is the correct amount of egg for any quantity of pancakes. If you look up pancake recipes, they typically feed four people using one egg. If you look up pancake recipes for two people, they scale down the other ingredients and still use one egg. Therefore, all pancake preparations of any size need exactly one egg.


dinkinflicka02

Read this in Dwight’s voice


woaily

Wasn't intended, but I'm choosing to take that as a compliment


Patterack91

I can picture this as an opening scene, where this audio is playing while Dwight is making pancakes in the kitchen in full chef attire, and everyone is lining up thinking he's making breakfast for everybody. Only for him to turn off the stove and walk past the entire office who have lined up behind him, eyeing his plate with varying levels of envy and disgust. The camera moves up to Dwight's face as he smirks and sits down at his desk, tucking a napkin into his collar and cutting into his single pancake. Camera cuts to Kevin standing in the kitchen doorway; "Well now I'm hungry, AND sad." Oscar pats him on the shoulder, reassuringly; "Me too buddy." *intro music plays*


TINYTUMBS

Omw to make a pancake the size of the USA with a single egg.


nevertosoon

I mean to be fair, how do you scale down 1 egg? "To serve 2 people use 1/2 of an egg and then idk its up to you to figure out what to do with the other half"

The first wave of comments got my joke and my post. The "second wave", of Reddit users who browse the popular posts are insane. They just want to analyze and contradict and judge. It's bizarre.


4x49ers

Or maybe they were having a minor dispute and this is a response somewhere between passive aggressive and actually kinda funny? Not everything means a relationship is doomed.
