Is this wrong...please fucking say it is!

[Duchess]

I should probably hang my head in shame.

I have a confession to make too.

There is a chain restaurant here called Friendly's who often have a promotion whereas one buys a meal and they'd get a free sundae. Whenever I've eaten there in the past I always choose to get my sundae first and end up getting my entire meal boxed. I knew if I ate my meal first I wouldn't have room for the sundae. You see where my priorities lie.

I have a confession also.

You're not allowed to take doggie bags at all you can eat buffets so I line my big Coach bag with plastic wrap and take the food when they're not looking. The last Chinese buffet we ate at I came home with twenty egg rolls, ten crab rangoons, fifteen fried wontons, a dozen wings and about 30 packets of duck sauce. Good deal.

[Maggot]

Savages!!!

[HairOfTheDog]

Those embarrassing admissions took guts and inspired me.

I too have a confession.

I took my niece to dinner on Sunday. It was a chain place and the plates are a bit bigger. We weren't going right home afterwards, so we got one meal and split it. Yeah, we left a big tip, but it's not the first time that we've done it at that restaurant and probably won't be the last.

I suspect that somewhere in the world, someone would consider it grubby, classless, crude, tacky, tightass...and be looking down their noses at us. We did it anyway, and will probably do it again.

I may even have passed the pepper across the table with my left hand, knowing full well that could offend someone lurking here from India.

The shame.

[Maggot]

Well at least you don't shovel mashed potatoes into your purse like Sally.

I only do the mashed potatoes if they're thick and no gravy. Otherwise it can get kinda messy in there.

I've done that before. More shame for me.

Here's another confession. A certain ex and I would eat off each others plate if we ordered something different and wanted to try what the other was having. Annnnddd...we never looked around to see if anyone was watching.

Annnndd...we even did the Lady and the Tramp thing with our spaghetti. We only did that at home though. Even I know where the line in the sand is.

You guys make me smile.

He will not only take home leftovers, I guess he will take ALL the sugar and butter packets on the table, extra napkins or straws. He has even asked for more dinner rolls, and instead of eating them there, will take them with him.
.

LOL This was something new for me when I first moved to Florida, The cheap old bastards here all do this in the low to middle end places. They even take those little plastic things that hold the menu for todays special, I guess they put them on the TV with a pic of the grandkids in it.
You have to ask for butter, salt, pepper, ketchup, napkins and the like. If the waiters leave it on the table the geezers steal it

[HairOfTheDog]

That's true.

Still, stealthily stuffing all that leftover ice from my soda, my mammoth-sized soda no-less, into my pockets and getting it home without having a real meltdown and looking like a complete drip is also kind of a slick trick.

[sally]

Try doing it with Italian wedding soup. Not an easy task. But it can be done. Not only can it be done, but you'll have the bums eating out of the palm of your hand.

[Maggot]

If you ask for water you can use the cup for the soup after you drink it.

The Casino knows all about that crap!!!

[Older Than Dirt]

I ask for lemon with my water.When nobody is looking, I put artificial sweetener in it. Then I very carefully hide the evidence on my pocket. I draw the line at asking for some hot water and some ketchup. I'm not fond of tomato soup !

[Duchess]

You're old enough to know better!

[Cynical Ninja]

So do you go out and handout the leftovers if you go to a fast food joint? Are you handing your left over chicken from KFC? If not why not?

If you make a home cooked meal do you go out and hand out the leftovers? If not why not?

I seriously answered all of your questions when you first feigned interest.

I've read all your comments about my choices and the "hobos', "tramps", and "peasants" where I've chosen to set up home.

I don't see any of it as you do. That's all. Agree to disagree and move on, or maybe someone else who lives in an urban area with a sizable homeless population will feel compelled to answer your questions. If they don't view it as you do, maybe you can change how they think and feel.

I wouldn't offer a friend a 'doggie' bag. I wouldn't offer it to another human being. The notion that it is in anyway noble because homeless people have been observed 'digging around in garbage bins' then entitles them to Users leftover burrito is ridiculous.

The bottom line, to offer a homeless person your leftovers is not generous it's offensive.

I'm not going back through this thread to look for the damn needle in a haystack but as I recall, the homeless person first mentioned ASKED for the doggy bag. I wouldn't walk up and down the street offering people my leftovers either but if some seemingly hungry person asked for them, I'd hand them over in a heart beat. I rarely eat leftovers anyway.

If anybody is a snob, it's Aussie. You look down on a homeless person that is hungry enough to ask someone for their leftovers? You arrogant pig; stop looking down your nose at people that do what they have to do to feed themselves, bitch.

That's crap! You are so full of shit. I offered to buy them their own meal, and if anybody ever asks me for money, I always give it to them.

You are the who is arrogant! I wouldn't piss on your leftovers.
