The relationships subreddit, home to the terrible and utterly weird alike, has come through for us with another deeply surreal relationship problem: a man’s otherwise perfect girlfriend is so obsessed with eggs that it’s ruining their relationship. But not eggs in the fertility sense, which would be a fairly mundane problem, oh no. This woman is so obsessed with boiled eggs that it’s led Twitter users to theorize that she might actually be a snake in disguise.

Eating anywhere between four and fifteen eggs a day—which can’t be healthy—OP’s girlfriend also leaves bits of them everywhere. Carpets, furniture, the car, even the cat have all had bits of eggy detritus clinging to them on a regular basis. Recently, she put a half-eaten egg in his coat pocket, getting egg all over the laundry in the wash, and left one on the passenger seat in the car, leading to him sitting on it before a job interview and getting egg all over his pants. After confronting her about this, she accused him of being controlling and trying to dictate what she eats, but he doesn’t want her to stop eating the eggs—just clean up properly after herself. At this point, it sounds like a shitpost, something at least a couple of redditors agreed on.

However, OP has since deleted both the post and his account, suggesting that egg woman is all too real and the amount of attention the post was getting made him afraid she was going to find out that he’d posted about it on the internet. Sadly for him, the internet wasn’t especially helpful as, while a few people did try to give him actual advice, the problem was too absurd for most people to take it seriously.

People were horror-fascinated by her eggy lifestyle and wondering about its effects on her digestive system.

Funny, that’s almost the exact amount my old boss used to eat every day (he ate 16.) I’ve never seen a more healthy 68 year old. His cholesterol levels were fine. (Yes, we confronted him. And yes, he brought us the blood work as proof to finally stop us from nagging him.)

So I just want to clarify the detail I’m confused on. Is she just eating like loads of soft boiled eggs all the time? Sucking down raw egg?

As well as confused by the fact that she frequently doesn’t eat the whole egg and leaves bits of it laying around. As Twitter user @RoeVWadeBoggs says, “how godamned hard is it to finish an egg”.

Some theorized she’s actually trying to communicate with him in a very roundabout way.

And OP took some criticism for not removing the damn egg before he put the jacket in the washing machine.
Also, when he washed the jacket, did he take the egg out?? Or did he just assume the washer would make it magically go away? These are important questions!!

The “OP’s girlfriend is secretly a reptile” conspiracy theory gained some real legs, especially on Twitter where the story of egg woman has found its true home.

With OP’s girlfriend is actually Gaston coming in second place.
Has the girlfriend expressed a desire to grow large? Perhaps equivalent to a barge in size?

The puns won’t stop.
Can’t make an omelet without breaking some eggs

But can you blame her? Eggs are hard to beat.

And people think egg woman should hook up with the yogurt guy.
This girl seriously needs to hook up with Iranian yogurt collection guy.
— Kingfisher & Wombat (@UrsulaV) August 26, 2019
As somebody else suggested: they should probably hook up for a lovely oveo-lacto romance.

Wherever he is, we hope OP works things out with his snake wife.
