Also don’t use your fingers, pls

 

yeah man it’s hyperbole

 

Is it? What's been weirding me out about this whole conversation is not so much the takes but the venom and fervor with which they've been delivered.

You'd think some of you had never owned food before with the hostility leveled toward the idea that it might be okay for someone to ask someone politely for a taste.

 

Venom??????

 

There is no such thing as asking someone politely for a taste in that scenario. It is inherently not polite to do that!

 

I had a buddy who asked me for a bite of my Subway sandwich at lunch one day. Thought it was kinda weird at first but maybe more common in Eastern collectivist culture? He seemed to enjoy it

 

Haha jk I had him executed via firing squad

 

Like I'm really not intending or wanting to be rude to the people who feel this way, but it's just shocking to me in general that this is so important. It feels so trivial to me.

 

Food is not trivial

 

What do Grimaces even eat? Do you just live off your purple shakes?

 

Can you all get back to talking about movies and shit.

 

I blame @Morrissey

 

who dat

 

Excuse me, I believe the current conversation meets the "shit" criteria.

 

yep

 

What if someone asked if they could borrow your socket wrench? What's the protocol for that?

 

Most of the time if I'm eating with friends, if I order food or they order food we share things but don't ask for things. So if I order a sandwich that's my sandwich, but if it came with fries I ordered or a pickle or whatever I'd be like "hey, anyone want some fries?" and the other person usually does something similar with like apps or sides or whatever. But no one ever asks for someone else's food.

 

Completely different situation

 

are you gonna give me the food back when you’re done with it

 

It's clumsy, sure, but the possibility exists that you'll never get the wrench back. Why does a bite of food matter this much that it's considered rude to ask for one?

 

I mean, I want to understand this. Is it a cultural thing like someone mentioned earlier? I don't understand what makes the question rude.

 

it’s rude because you’re putting the other person in a position to have to be rude back to you by saying no if they want to eat the food they bought

 

Food is pursuit
