Awkward Family Story: The Liver Steak Incident
July 28th, 2009
I was at my boyfriend’s house to have dinner with his family for the first time when I saw the liver steak. Let’s just say that is not my favorite food. The window was so clean that you couldn’t tell if it was open or not. Everybody left the dinner room to answer a call from grandma and I had the bright idea of throwing the liver out the window but my plan failed because the window was closed. Awkward.

It’s really disturbing how the photos are always awkward, and the stories are more hit or miss. I do think this one is awkward, and funny.
The way to handle this situation (I’ve used this repeatedly) is, upon the return to the room of the other family members, point at a random individual and scream “LOOK OUT! HE’S GOT A GUN!!!”
what… was she like 14 or something!? i would have just found the trash can and some paper towels!
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh, snap! That’s funny…I can imagine the smear of liver on the glass. Urp. Even if it was open, wouldn’t they have wondered why there was a liver steak in the yard? LOL Of course, local critters probably would have spirited it away before they’d see it!
In fairness, your boyfriend’s family should accept a little culpability. No matter how much you like liver steak, it’s a REALLY strange choice of something to serve to a guest…especially a first-time guest! I can think of about a thousand other choices that would have been safer! Maybe it’s some sort of bizarre test?
I was thinking the exact same thing.
My family “tests” potential suitors with mince meat pie. Mmmmm….. mince meat….
Seriously, she would have been justified in simply walking over to the garbage can and tossing it in full view of everyone!!!
i think this story is photoshopped
I was just thinking the same thing.
hahahahaha!
This is the best comment so far. It’s totally shopped.
*snurk*
Winning comment!
Winning onomatopoeia!!
brilliant!
Next time use the napkin to hide it and then you should go to the bathroom, then flush it down.
Rob
But then someone would have to reach their hand down the toilet when it backed up.
But what if the commode clogs and you have to yank it all out with your hand??
Well, of course, you use the compound-bow to shoot that liver out of the toilet!
This is the only compound bow comment I’ve found that was funny.
Me too.
I always went to bed hungry when my dad decided to make liver and onions for dinner when I was younger. Sautéed onions just isn’t enough to hold a kid through the night. Just because of that, I’ll have to say that the toilet is the only proper location for liver steak! Blaaaaah!!!
The only thing awkward about this is how it was written.
Sure wouldn’t get a high grade in Creative Writing 101, would it?
well, I think the idea is awkward stories…not cleverly crafted, creative story-telling…
She got the point across though. Freshly windex
ed window vs. liver steak.
I call BS on this story. How exactly were you going to explain how the liver got outside? And why not just refuse to eat it, rather than chucking it outside? And why did everyone leave to answer Grandma’s call? None of that makes sense.
Agreed!! Boo this story.
Boo is right!
I don’t usually comment on here, but was just coming on to say the same thing! Totally made up!
So what it was funny
Yeah… I shoot this story with my compound bow
d00d… Whatever to the story, but compound is totally not a proper bow; it does everything for you.
Just to confirm this, I have seen this story before on FML.
Faaake.
hahahaha
Ok, come on people! It’s time to lose the freeloaders! 4 is plenty!
A moment later, what was your explanation?
“The pin was out, and I had to save the squad”?
Ok, even if the window was really, really clean, wouldn’t you notice that no air or noise was coming through?
agreed!!–take it from someone who was done-in by the open window… when i was 4 i was supposed to finish my breakfast before i went out to play… i could hear my brothers and sisters all running around out in the backyard, so keeping an eye out for my mom, i jumped up, and bolted out the sliding glass door behind me. except it wasnt open–the sound of them playing was coming thru the open kitchen window next to it. needless to say, i shattered it. got a nice cut on the side of my head, on my knee and on my fingers. the doctor said i was lucky that i sneakily had my head turned, or i would have likely cut the daylights out of my face. i dont think they let me sit near the sliding door for years after that…
Sounds like something I did, only when I was a kid. I was sleeping over at my friends house and my friend’s mom decided to give us steamed carrots for dinner. I hated carrots (still do). They kick in my gag reflex, and my friend and her mom both knew it. But they made it anyway, because it was my friend’s favorite thing to eat (I thought it was kinda rude because I was only there for the night and her mom knew I hadn’t eaten anything earlier in the day, and decided to serve something I would have issues eating). But I seriously couldn’t swallow it because I’ve always thought carrots taste awful, so I kept “accidentally” dropping them.
But I was 9…
Haha! I’m picturing a cute little kid with a pile of steamed carrots under the chair repeatedly saying “woopsies!”
I was babysitting and the kids were supposed to eat their carrots, protesting the entire time. After what seemed like an hour of begging/whining/threats (no TV until the carrots are gone), I had to leave the room to answer “another call” when I hear a terrible “wretching” sound from the kitchen. The kid was serious when he said “carrots make me barf”.
Kinda reminds me of ALL the times I went to my best friend’s house in elementary school. Her family would always make me eat EVERYTHING on my plate. Problem is, I have a small tummy! I usually get really small portions compared to other people because I CAN’T finish normal sized portions of everything. They didn’t get that.
Thank God I’m old enough now so that I’m allowed to choose what I eat, and how much of it!
I call B.S.
What kind of BS is this? Methinks someone had a great time making up a stupid story.
No…it really happened…I was there…saw the whole thing!
And you wonder why Marney gives such strick instructions…..
STRICK?
LOL Marney!!!!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Oya: really?? all the mother served was steamed vegetables for dinner and that was it?? I highly doubt it.
liar, liar, pants on fire!
I thought this story was so silly that I preferred to let my mind wander over the ‘call from grandma’ part… Was it a phone call… or was she in another room and called out and everyone went rushing…maybe she was hiding and wanted to people to find her…
Yeah. BS. And if not – weird.
Maybe grandma had fallen and couldn’t get up, so the whole family responded to her life alert.
So true. I just pictured the old lady from the life alert commercials as grandma, cute boyfriend and weirdo family jumping out to help her, and BLONDE girlfriend throwing liver steak onto a very clean but not open window!
I must have outlived honesty and integrity.Why not politely tell the hosts you don’t care for liver?
If they get offended don’t marry into the family.
AMEN! We always ask for a “sign” don’t we? That would have spoken loudly!
Why would someone serve liver to company?! I mean, isn’t it one of the most universally disliked foods in the world?
That, and turnips.
LOL! (I’m laughing at the turnips)
This happened to me: I was invited to the home of an acquaintance for dinner. She had been to my home where we had eaten a vegetarian meal. I assumed that she knew I was a veg. Upon entering her kitchen I asked “Ooh, what is that strong odour?” She replied “Oh, that’s liver that I am preparing to serve with dinner.” Gag!
I am not a vegetarian now, but still would not touch liver with a ten foot pole-gag!
Right on. Nothing like eating another animal’s “filter.”
That is friggin hiliarious…c’mon…hear the meat hit the window and imagine the faces…pretty funny..
“Whomp.” “Scree.” “Splat.”
I can only assume that she was so panicked about the liver and so desperate to get it off of her plate that she took the first opportunity, freaked out, not really thinking about what would become of the liver. I mean, that’s my guess. Or maybe she saw a stray cat before she walked into the ho–
Oh, who am I kidding! This story is crap!
Of course she couldn’t eat it – it wasn’t in a regulation-size casserole dish!
That made me laugh out loud.
Thank you.
Reminds me of the time my dear cousin served me shad and shad roe — Yuck!! Sorry, Eastern Pennsylvanians, but that stuff is just gross! There was no window, no dog under the table and no left-alone opportunity to disposit of it — I had to eat it and smile. Never again!
Awkward, yes- but even more awkward is the term “dinner room”.
LMAO! I’m just thinking about the noise the piece o’ meat made when it hit the window and then slid down and plopped on the floor.
This one time! When I was young! There was this guy! And his pants were all dirty! And I said did you poop yourself! And he said YES!! AWKWARD!!
My plan would’ve worked too, if it wasn’t for that meddling window!
Okay, I am praying that this is made up. It’s not even that funny to me, because I can’t get past how juvenile the girl is. “Ew, I hate liver! I’m gonna throw it out the window, because they totally won’t find it outside/wonder how it was gone so fast.”
PLEASE tell me this was made up. How disrespectful do you have to be to actually DO that?
I agree with Jeannie-
You were a guest in these people’s home, and you thought it would be acceptable to throw their dinner, which they had spent good money on, out the window? I don’t care how much you dislike something. You take a small piece and act gracious. And you certainly don’t decide that no one else can eat either!
So you were a first-time guest in their house and they all left the room and left you to finish your dinner alone because they received a phone call? Almost as rude as you chucking food out/into the window.
lol, how do you explain that ?
I don’t get why you would throw it out the window?
I hate the stories. This one in particular. It’s not funny or cute. It’s just stupid.
