But this was a new one for me...just a couple of weeks ago I went out with 4 other friends to a nice Italian restaurant. I ordered a butternut squash ravioli that everyone LOVES (but no one else ordered). There are only 5 large ones for $17 in the portion. But they are very rich and I could only eat 3 and was going to box up the other 2 and take them home. I started to hand my dish to the waiter to get boxed up and 2 of my friends were like "you aren't going to eat those? We'll eat them!" And the waiter handed my dish to them. I was just so shocked, I didn't know what to do. I mean, how awkward for me to say "no!" So they ate 40% of my meal. Ugh. Oh, and one of them boxed up the remainder of her meal since she was full after eating mine. 
Live and learn, that's for sure! It's just sad that I have to be so cautious now! |
That would really bug me. I always take food home with me to eat later since I don't eat a lot at once. I'd be fuming because I like my leftovers!
