I like taking home leftovers if I like the food and there's too much to finish. I paid for it and would rather enjoy it later than have it go to waste.
But, I care less about the portion size than the taste of the food. I don't dine out with anyone who would sacrifice quality for quantity, even my oversized guy friends. None of us would think to ask other diners for their leftovers. Never seen that happen.
I've finished off pitchers of beer with my friends that were left behind by other people though. More than once. Not too classy, but we've watched someone get escorted outta the place, or take off after a fight and leave a perfectly good fresh pitcher just sitting there. Seemed a shame to see it poured down the drain (or down some other opportunist's throat). It's been years, but can't swear that it would never happen again.
