[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m conceding on the Chick-fil-A.

Here’s another example.  DH texts and says he’s ordering pizza and what would we like.   I say I’ll share DS’s cheese pizza.  DD and her bf each order their own.  Ok fine (I’m thinking why can’t they share but ok).  The bf chooses the most expensive pizza. DD says can we also get xx appetizer and cinnamon pull apartment. I’m thinking ok that’s fine we will share that.  And then the bf chimes in and requests ANOTHER appetizer on top of what DD has requested.

Ok and here’s a Taco Bell order: “1 beefy fritos burrito and 1 shredded chicken burrito please, Also, can we do the party pack with the 5 layer burritos in the mix instead of the bean burritos”

I mean, is this really normal?

If you're already getting the party pack asking for a specific burrito in it is reasonable, and I think a normal Taco Bell order is a few items so asking for two burritos is very normal. The most expensive burrito at Taco Bell isn't even $4. This is incredibly normal.[/quote]
If you think your boyfriend's behavior is normal, you are incredibly trashy and rude. You will never grasp what manners are and what proper social norms are.[/quote]

You not to have read what I wrote (or, indeed, have read what you wrote since you called him my boyfriend). I said that ordering that much Taco Bell is normal. They're small burritos and two or three is a full meal.

As to the manners question: I'll raise my child not to order the most expensive item or significantly more food than her hosts without a clear signal that she should. That said, the most important manners are those of the host, not the guest.[b] The duty of hospitality to guests is one of the oldest "manners" that exists and OP isn't living up to it.[/b]

I grew up without a ton of money, but we had class and would never think of leaving a guest hungry. If you can't offer a guest a full meal through takeout, cook. We never have a guest without at least dinner and dessert, which means we cook more than we order, but it also means we're not being rude.[/quote]

Incorrect. She’s living up to it, by buying him what he requests. But she’s perfectly within her rights to think that he’s being a rude guest. And he is. [/quote]
