Many people have mixed feelings about eating shrimp at restaurants. While they may want to indulge in the tasty dish, they don't want to deal with the hassle of peeling the shells and the potential mess it creates.

A considerate male netizen thought he was being helpful when he peeled a whole plate of shrimp for his colleagues during a dinner gathering. However, to his surprise, no one touched the shrimp, and he realized he had been rejected.

According to TVBS News, the netizen shared his experience on PTT, questioning whether he had made a mistake by peeling the shrimp for everyone. He explained that he thought it would be convenient for his colleagues to eat without having to worry about dirtying their hands. Strangely, they all ignored the shrimp until they finished other dishes.

It wasn't until a female colleague pointed out the potential hygiene issue after the gathering ended that he realized his actions were considered unsanitary. 

Many netizens responded with their opinions, stating that it can be uncomfortable for someone they aren't familiar with to peel shrimp for them.

They mentioned that it depends on the relationship, as they would be fine with family members or partners doing it but not with coworkers. Some even admitted feeling disgusted when eating shrimp that was peeled by others. Others recommended clarifying such gestures beforehand to avoid misunderstandings and negative reactions.
