Deranged dinner party

[Anonymous]

Those are crazy stories. I don't get why people invite others and do not tell them what they may be eating and what time. Who the heck eats at 11pm!

Then the GF started getting drunk and they started arguing about a neon beer sign being in the living room. And I think the GF once had sex with her assistant who is an aspiring musician. She put on his demo and kept swaying around the condo.

It was epically horrible and cringey and I couldn't wait to leave. The cops ended up getting called because the drunk GF broke our boss's TV. I was still hungry so we had to get takeout afterwards!

Yes, we all saw that episode, too, PP.

I didn't! What show is this from?

The Office.

The first night my parents paid for food to barbecue--chicken, corn on the cob, a lot of other stuff (I do recall it charred, the hosts cooked). The second night they treated us. On the beach, one loaf of white bread, one pound of hamburger, and ketchup. For 4 adults and 8 kids. I was 4 and still remember both meals.

What does your adult self make of this memory?

I don't know that this is deranged but it was weird as hell. A friend from work invited me out for dinner. First, I clarified that we were both straight and this wasn't a date. Fine, so I assume after work we're going to a restaurant. She says she'll handle everything. Okay great. She tells me she'll drive, and then drive me back to my car. She drives me to her house. Which is actually her parents house. She lives with her parents - she's never moved out. Her whole family is there. I think/hope we are stopping by so she can change clothes or say hi or something. Nope. Dinner at her house with her whole family. Turns out they're jehovah witnesses. I'm jewish.

The mom serves salad and then starches. Like, a big bowl of salad, and then roasted sweet potatoes, white rice, biscuits, and dessert. They gently try to convert me. I firmly refuse. They less gently try to convert me. The very second everyone is halfway through their dessert, I announce that this has been lovely but I need to head back to get some things done before getting ready for work the next day. My work friend is like "but you didn't finish your cookie and ice cream!" sounding bizarrely hurt. I assure her I'm full from the (starch) dinner. She insists I wrap the cookie and take it with me. I thank everyone, wrap the cookie, ask if I can help clean up, and nobody stands. I sit back down.

I was stuck there another hour and a half. Next day at work the woman tells me how much her family likes me and how much they think they can help me. I smile and say "But I don't have any issues I need help with!" I walk away. I am "busy" every time she tries to talk to me after that. I refuse all invites to hang out.

I went to a work lunch with 20 other people and the manager in charge only ordered 5 large pizzas- he limited us to 2 slices each needless to say we were all starving and some people who came late didn’t even get any pizza slices.

My ex boyfriend and I went to dinner the night before I was to travel internationally he didn’t want me to go and kept trying to convince me to stay. This was going to be short trip 7 days max. Anyways we get back to my place and he keeps trying to convince me and he threw his laptop and phone at the wall in a rage. I never saw him again and always refused offers to hang out after that.

My now partner proposed to me the made me pay for our engagement dinner because he had no money. The ring was also a hand me down from his mom that he said was platinum but the jeweler told me is white gold. We are not married and he is still broke.

My friend invited me to dinner to celebrate her birthday party at a very fancy restaurant. As a broke college student I was happy to be eating well. After we finished eating several app, entrees and desserts. Her other friends were there, they decided to split the bill excluding her. I had no money which she knew, I still fume from that night, I had no idea I would have to put money down and she never mentioned this in the invite. Ugh.

How much of a fattie are you all? At two pieces of pizza I would be stuffed. How the hell many pieces do you normally eat in one sitting? My max is 1.5, regular is 1 (usually with a salad).

I can eat 3 N.Y. slices.

Ugh nothing worse than a limited pizza slice party. It reminds me of end of the year parties in elementary school. Never enough pizza.

I usually eat 2-3 slices (depends on the size) but I hate the feeling that there is not enough for everyone. Terrible.

Turns out the party was all old men and prostitutes! There were 2 young guys there who I ended up talking to and found out that they were pimps. My friends and I were naive 21 year olds. We got out of there fast!

"So what brings you here?"

Something similar happened to me! I ended up at this private party at a cocktail bar and was flirting with one of the only younger guys. He was super attractive and charming but it turned out the same as pp, he was a pimp and apparently turned tricks occasionally! Needless to say, I neither slept with him or took up his offer to work for him.
