[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]around here, nobody would think anything of the person who brought something picking it up and taking it home.  guess we are just low class.

i am on the bench of why leave all the leftovers for someone who probably doesn't have room to store them and can't eat them before they go bad.

I've observed that there are plenty of folks who aren't bothered by being perceived as being rude or low class, so if that's you, then you do you and let the chips fall where they may in terms of how others think of you.

For those who might care but just didn't know better, the way people who care about manners and etiquette would handle this would be for the host to say "oh please, take some of this home with you, we cannot possibly eat all these leftovers."   Then the guest would say "oh are you sure? do you want to keep a slice or two for the kids later" (or some version of this).  Then the host might agree to keep some or again demur, and then and only then does the bringer of the half eaten pie or the half consumed bottle of wine get to take it home.
