Woman urged to dump ‘barbarian’ husband after he cuts pie ‘wrong’

A woman has been urged to dump her husband after Reddit users saw the way in which he cut into a pie.

Dubbed a “barbarian” for his actions, the now viral thread has left members of the social forum infuriated by the lack of respect shown to conventional slicing. When taking a slice of the pie it appears the user’s significant other sliced too far in, almost cutting through to the other side of the shared dish.

An image of his actions has since received thousands of upvotes and forum posters are calling for the “barbarian” to be abandoned. The post was simply titled: “How my husband cut the pie.”

One user wrote: “You married a barbarian didn’t you. Complete savage.” Another has called for the couple to separate after seeing how horrible a cut the pie has been given.

“Divorce is the only option,” they wrote. But another user replied: “the only option for me would be to finish the rest of the pie….that way nobody else has to be visually inconvenienced.”

Others believed the post was made to the wrong forum as it stretched beyond “mildly infuriating” and verged on an attack-like slice. They wrote: “This is not mildly infuriating, this is a personal attack.”

Another user revealed they were experiencing similar pie-slicing troubles with their father. They revealed: “My dad does crap like this on purpose. Sometimes he just cuts a square piece, sometimes he cuts only the edge. He thinks he’s funny. No amount of rolling eyes, facepalms or straight up “stop doing that, you’re a grown a** man” is enough.

The perfect pie slicing technique has since been revealed, with one user suggesting: “i usually cut the entire pie in half, then into quarters, then i cut one quarter in half and take my slice. that is almost always a well proportioned slice for me but if someone wants a smaller slice, they can cut one, if someone wants a larger slice, they can cut one, everyone takes as much as they want without ruining someone elses slice.”

But the original poster revealed they did not have the chance to slice the pie themselves as their husband had already been at it when she returned home. She wrote: “The worst part was I made it before work and took it out of the oven to cool. This is what looked like when I came back from work.”
