Thanks for starting up the stingy vs. stealing debate again.

I don't think anyone would have cared if she waited until the end of the party and made a plate. She picked the prime stuff before everyone ate to make sure she had good stuff to bring home.

What puzzles me is the "her husband didnt get any dinner" mentality. I mean, is he sick or something to the point where he cant feed himself???

There is no issue with taking a plate home. In fact, any/all leftovers were going to be pushed on the guests to take home with them. However, the food is there for people AT the party. For her to load up a plate of stuff for someone not at the party, before the majority of the guests have eaten, is not right.

As it was, we barely had leftovers at the end of the game. Considering the amount of food we made, I am assuming everyone left stuffed, but some people came late, and her thinking that it's ok to take food for someone not at the party at the potential expense of someone there doesn't sit well with me. Assuming she is thinking about it at all.

No host I know of would turn down the request. It still doesn't make the request right.
We spent a good amount of $$ on the party, but thankfully we can afford it, and I love hosting the SB parties. It's really a fun time, good food and betting with friends and family, most of whom stayed the majority of the game.
The party wasn't meant for a guest to come for a bit in order to have dinner taken care of for her and her husband.

Exactly

I guess she didn't want to prepare dinner on sunday.

Or, she prob thought "hey, im going to this SB party, dinner is taken care of."

Exactly.



The rule of thumb i use for all of these me-first scenarios is this:

Could everyone make a plate for their ****ing husband/wife at home and put it aside? Could the party function under those conditions? *******?
No. Ergo, you suck.

Could everyone take 3 teriyaki beef when there are 8 total and 7 people there? Can this chinese food feast function under those conditions? *******?
No.

Can everyone drink 8 beers out of a 30 pack that 3 guys split, none of which are you? Can the binge drinking function under those conditions? *******?
No.

Saturday night/Sunday morning.

Sorry I guess I miscommunicated. I mean its not humiliation, by definition, until the humiliated party finds out about it. IE you can't humiliate someone unless they know about it, since humiliation must be experienced by the object of the act.

/stupid semantics nit

why didn't the husband go to the party?

Quadraplegic.

give her $6 cash for a drive thru combo meal on the way home next year

I don't know. He has yet to show up for any of them. Maybe he is too good for us? Doesn't like football? Quadraplegic?

I'd rather give her $12 to not show up.

have you confirmed husband is a real person?

Husband is confirmed real. Nice guy too.

DONt NUTSACK HIS FOOD THEN .

b4 its too late

MOAR DD

i want results from sir garbled on his dead friend's debt

might as well start up a blog DD and copy paste these stories there. Spent 10 minutes trying to find your first story.

So me and DD play together in a home game with some real characters. We've got ORH (that's old ******ed Howard), 2 potheads (one who can't win a pot and one who can't lose one), and the pie de resistance Pauly (the Nuts). Nittyest guy you ever met in you life. We had to institute a clock because of the amount of time it takes him to call with the second nuts. If second pair ever comes on the river and you bet into him you will hear a cursing display that would put a porn star to shame. Then he goes on a diatribe waits for the clock to go to just before zero and folds. At one time or another he has accused every player at the game of cheating (usually to short change him for less than 50 cents. Oh have I mentioned that he is 20 years older than any regular at the game with the exception of ORH. But this story has nothing to do with game play. It has to do with Pauly's choice of costume. Pauly has the most ridankulous collection of shirts. He wears Hawaiian shirts missing buttons (not the plural) that expose his ample gut in all it's glory. He has shown up at the game with T-Shirts with massive holes is them. Now Pauly is decidedly middle class. Owns his own home here in LA. works as an accountant (I would love to see how he dresses for work). Anywho last week he shows up in one of those three button no collar shirts that were never in style. I think my dad (who is 75 wears them). I am sitting next to Pauly (the Nuts) and I notice that the neckline on his shirt is completely frayed (like split in half) and the split is running down the button area as well. I said to him "Why would you were a torn shirt here?" and his reply killed me. He says "Why would I get dressed up for YOU guys?" Apparently the ideas of human dignity and not being mistaken for a homeless person are low on the list of priorities for this winner. As long as he doesn't have to wear one of his "nice" shirts for poker night. I do have plenty more stories about Pauly. His eating habits and reactions to any girl under 2 bills that comes to the game are legendary.

actually story is already ~1year old and i didnt do anything since then, but atm im regretting it since im busto and could use any $$ available.

so do you only let him play to laugh at him?
