[quote=Anonymous]Why do you go out to eat with him? I have boomer relatives who are bonkers about food and money too. We don’t go out with them anymore.

They translate being frugal as taking advantage of others. If someone else is paying, it’s SCORE and they behave like they have never eaten before or are at a sizzler buffet where it’s all you can carry out. They “ invited” us out once. They had two buy one entree get one free. They wanted us to buy the entree, they would get the free one. Because there was a limit of one coupon per table they wanted us to split up into two tables next to each other. In their minds they scored a free dinner.

When they come to family events, the uncle will always be at the front of the line and fill his plate with 3-4 servings of the best meat. They know that by taking 4 servings one of their siblings, nieces or nephews won’t get any but they don’t care. It’s like a competition for them how much more they can get than others. It’s a PITA if you are the host because you either have to cook mountains of food or avoid serving anything perceived as high value.

Remember when Trump made a big deal that he gets two scoops of ice cream while everyone else only gets one. It’s that type of infantile greed and delight that others have less. [/quote]
