Is it normal that my girlfriend gets upset at me for getting upset at her?

This is a question among other questions that I started asking myself, is this normal? did I lose connection to reality?

So I was chilling with my girlfriend of 3 years and a buddy of mine at my place, I offered to order food, I suggested a place and started placing the order on my phone, and was slow as it came to my order, because I wanted something good, and it took me maybe not more than 5 minutes, and then they started joking around how slow I was at ordering and so on, at first I was like chilled and joking around with them that I can't get my mind on something.

While taking their orders, and trying to make sure everything is right, also in the meanwhile talking to them when they address me, which makes the task in hand slower. That doesn't stop the rushing and the jokes like :
Come one, why is it taking so long, omg you're slow, and this was all meant as a joke and I understood that, but I confronted my buddy and told him: dude, stop rushing me, I'm doing my best but you're interrupting me and it's starting to become annoying, so shut it for a second and you'll get your food. He got it and stayed quiet.

Not even 20 seconds later, my girlfriend, while being in that room and hearing me announcing my distress and frustration to my buddy, "jokingly", rushes me again and says: oh it's really taking you a long time. That's when I turn around to her and tell her this in these words: can you please stop it because it's slowly starting to get annoying. Right away she gets offended, accuses me of being mean and moody. She got pissed at me, was not understanding of the situation I was in and that there are limits to jokes, and that I had to set that limit because it upset me.

I think teasing stops being funny after the 4th time that someone made that joke, after that it is some sort of bullying. I told her that, and she had no understanding whatsoever. I ended up apologizing for getting pissed off and saying that something annoyed me.

Is it normal for me to get annoyed?
Is it normal for me to tell her in that way that its annoying?
Is it normal that she still thinks she did nothing wrong and that it's my fault?
Am I even real?

    It was normal of you to get annoyed and your gf should have respected your feelings and backed off abit. You should be able to tell your significant others to shut up without them getting too offended. Both parties gotta respect eachothers moods. Sometimes my wife gets annoyed at stupid shit and I just back off for abit and wait for her to calm down. Because I know I get the same way.

    Tell em if they can't stand the wait they can order, and pay for their own damn food.

    It is normal for someone to get annoyed under those conditions. It's ok to let other people know that you are uncomfortable, since it que's people to stop whatever they're doing to you.

    It seems odd that your girlfriend would be annoyed with this, maybe she thought you were joking.

    This is not your fault since it's normal to set boundaries in a relationship, but clearly your girlfriend felt some type of way when you told her off. It's best to talk to her to clear the air.

    Nobody's real your all a figment of my imagination.

      I think she kind of felt dumb after her comment and I called her out on it, and kind of acted childish after that. I would understand that, but she still thinks she did nothing wrong.

      So I'm not really crazy, that's good. Thank you!

      You sure have one hell of an imagination :D

      What does ESH mean?

      Also, your girlfriend sounds like a piece of work from this situation. She's getting mad at you for being annoyed at her? That makes no sense at all. To top it off, she discounted your emotions by saying you're moody. That sounds infuriating.

      Yes, it's normal to get annoyed in that situation. You clearly expressed your desire for your buddy to stop being annoying, and she took it upon herself to make one more for joke for the road.

      Also, nobody's real. We are all a figment of BatterMilk's imagination.

        Right? I also like to tease my friends and joke around, but I know boundaries and when someone tells me stop, I will feel dumb but I will also stop and not take it personally.

        BatterMilk's imagination is going full imagination land after a terrorist attack at this moment :D

          So what you're trying to say is the three of suck or what is the goal of your ESH comment?

          Yes I know you are not OP. I didn't want to make two posts, so I added my reply after my question to you.

            It would be helpful to make that clearer in your post by addressing the OP.
