Search Results: talking tips

We go out to eat.. we both order meat & veggie/rice type dishes. She ate half of hers and was done. I’m 90% finished eating when the server asks if we want takeout boxes. I say ‘no’, SO asks for a box.

Mind you, I am still eating the last of my food & SO starts ranting about how it’s wrong to waste meat and how I should take some home. Me: wtf. I’m eating all of MY food. She then says I can have her leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Me: I don’t want those, you have them. Then she rants about how people with money are wasteful, blah, blah. She was talking loud enough for people 20 feet away to hear.

Yeah, I have money but she picked that pricey restaurant and said she’d pay. I’ve taken us there before. So seeing her ranting, I offered to go dutch. She refused. I paid the tip.

She claims she wanted me to have a healthy lunch the next day. Me: that’s nice but it’s not right to rant at someone about wasting food when they ate all of their food & I don’t need a mom. You don’t see me ranting about your bad health habits.
