Burritogate

Matt's face superimposed onto something supposed to resemble a burrito

**Burritogate** was an incident that took place on the morning of the 23rd May 2020 11:28 BST (04:28 MT) when Barbra McCauliffe's current beau Francis replied to a picture message that McCauliffe had previously sent at 11:22 BST (04:22 MT) which depicted a cut-out image of Francis' face stuck over the top of a zoomed in burrito emoji, created in meet seconds in the Social Networking app Snapchat.

The two had only minutes earlier 'I love you' to one another, as well as other (slightly cringey) sweet nothings, before Francis decided he should go to bed. Earlier still he asked McCauliffe to "call me [Francis] at 6 tonight", which was quite nice as they hadn’t spoken over the phone for a while. He planned on recording an event over Twitch that evening and said they could talk whilst he was getting ready, and (though later was said to be misinterpreted) was free from McCauliffe's 6pm to his 6pm.

However, due to McCauliffe's somehow ill-timed image, within seconds the mood shifted from being a safe, loving space to a passive aggressive dig at one another. Francis claimed that a 'pet peeve' of his was seeing his face edited onto things, though this had not been mentioned at of McCauliffe's previous Snapchat edits. He then referred to how she had previously 'got mad' at him for spelling her name without a capital letter at the start, and when she denied it, he stated that she had ';literally made an Instagram post about it'. This Instagram post in question was a reference to McCauliffe's boss spelling her name as 'r\*semary. or even on some occasions: rose

mary. Which is fucking annoying. But stating that McCauliffe got mad at Francis for doing it was just utter bullshit. McCauliffe left Francis on a 'are you serious right now??' whilst he slept. McCauliffe was supposed to call Francis at 18:00 BST (11:00 MT) but due to the argument, McCauliffe thought wise to text first and ask if the call was still going ahead. Francis left McCauliffe on read. Before McCauliffe got into bed she messaged again to say that sahe wasnt going to bed in a mood with him over a fucking burrito, and that they should talk it out. When he replied, he mentioned that becuase McCauliffe had not called him, Framcis failed to get out of bed in time to set up for this event... which still makes no sense as the event was a 24 hour thing anyway... and though maybe not intended in a negative way, referenced that he was 'missing day two', which McCauliffe, read as becuse of her trying to communicte with him. She just said 'Goodnight' and decided to leave him to it. He later messaged back being like 'its not beacuse of you..et etc, grovel grovel' and McCauliffe ended the conversation with 'Enjoy your thing [Francis]'.

The following morning, McCauliffe awake to find that Francis had removed himself from all forms of social media, and appeared to have blocked her on Whatsapp. Upset and confused she decided to ring him multiple times and even text him direct, getting charged an international rate. He eventually answered at around about 10:00 BST (03:00 MT) and was in a right state, he answered with '**R**osey whats wrong!' all concernd (which was quite nice) ... but McCauliffe was like WTF, what the hell is going on. The whole thing ended up being a misunderstanding on both members parts, though it still was ridiculous for Francis to have reacted the way he did over A FUKING BURRITO... but anyway. The two spoke for nearly three hours on the phone afterwards and I think things are back to normal-ish for now. I didnt need that though first thing on a Saturday and Sunday morning.
