Dinner with friends

**Miss.September** · August 11th, 2012, 01:23 PM

You get invited to a friend's house for dinner. Friend provides dinner, drinks, nibblies and dessert. You take drinks that you specifically want, some dip and potato chips (after being told to take nothing). By the end of the night, all the host's food is gone, drinks done, and nibblies and dessert consumed. The food you brought remained unopened because everyone is full.

It's time for you to leave. So you grab the food you brought and your remaining drinks, put them back in your bag and take them home.

Is that what you would expect to happen? Would you take the food home? Or would you leave it given what the host has provided?

Definitely leave it!! Unless the host says to take it because there is no way known they'll eat it! Even then I argue lol..

Another leave it. Been on the receiving end of a guest hunting down the last piece of cake they brought along and it was unpleasant.

Yeah leave it. It looks cheap to take anything home with you.

No no no, you don't!! lol I would probably take home the pre-mixed alcoholic drinks, if you bought them for you and didn't consume anything else, simply because they are expensive and most of my friends don't drink Southern Comfort lol, but no, you don't take anything home with you.

Drinks - depends on what they are.

Food - definitely not.

This is an interesting question, and how we relate to our friends. I would probably have a little chat about it with them, open and honest, so no niggling anything was left. Generally if I was taking it there it is like an exchange for having us, but if I know they would not use it I would say something about it.

Sorry, I had to say this...LS - NO-ONE drinks Southern Comfort!!! If it was brought to my house I'd be begging for it to be taken home

Too many memories of teen drinking under the Barwon Heads Bridge.....

I ALWAYS leave it! Once I was at a baby shower where everyone bought a plate, and this woman left early so she went to the buffet and started packing up the leftovers of what she had brought to share, while people were standing there still picking!
