I called my girlfriend at work today and said "I forgot my sandwich", which I had--I had simply neglected to bring it with me to work. Though I had wrapped it in foil, she threw it away! I had planned on eating it when I got home!
Why?
My girlfriend is a terrible germophobe. She thinks that food spoils instantaneously if it's left out. She thinks I'll get food poisoning. Though I didn't yell or anything, it was hard to hide my disdain for such OCD craziness. And to me, that's what it is.
Am I the a-hole? Opinions might vary, but I'm curious.

She could have put it in the fridge if she noticed it shortly after you left but if not and it’s been left out for a while, then it’s safest to throw it away. My grandfather just spent 4 days in the hospital because of food poisoning. I don’t want you to have to go through the same. It makes you so sick. She was probably just looking out for you even if it was a compulsion. She doesn’t want you to get sick from spoiled food.
