[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.  For the college kids pizza scenario, isn’t it also about taking more for oneself so they don’t have to cook or make food the next day? Not necessarily that that are excessively hungry or are they eating the additional pizza slices in the moment? I know my roommates and I would do that to keep from cooking the next day. Well, I actually know older adult relatives who have always done that fwiw at holiday dinners or events where food is buffet style. If you have something like a large meal with a group of friends and you take leftovers to eat the next day so you don’t have to cook one meal or whatnot. This happened recently at a baby shower. It did ruffle some feathers when some took large portions leaving others with just a small portion to take home. Things like macaroni and cheese, chicken wings, sandwiches and salad. Making a plate to take with you and then making more than one plate before others can make one. I do think in that case you should probably only make one unless you are taking it for family members who did not attend but are in your household. [/quote]

This is a completely different question than the original question. I think it's reasonable to wait to make sure everyone who is present has firsts before you take seconds. I think it's reasonable to wait until everyone has seconds before you take thirds. I think it's reasonable to ask if anyone wants to share the last of x before you take it.

Leftovers don't exist until everyone present has eaten all they want.

BUT that is not the same as expecting the people who are present and are hungry enough to eat at that moment to stop eating so someone who is somewhere else can have some later.[/quote]

Exactly. The thread is splintered in so many different directions now that people are acting like posters who talk about what happened at a family dinner with lots of kids and minimal food back in the 70s is how these adults are behaving at a dinner party today.[/quote]
