[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Megan is at her friend Lilly's house. Lilly and the housekeeper were gathering up large bags of trash, emptying out the fridge. Megan made the comment, "Wow, the amount of food you toss out could feed by village back home for a week". Lilly said to her, "Well, you're more than welcome to pack this up and send it to them if that will make you feel superior".

Who was the jerk here?[/quote]

Wasteful people who have zero self awareness are always the jerk. Her response was defensive bc she knows she is a wasteful a-hole. Megan was not wrong. People don't like to have their sh-- pointed out to them. Instead of acknowledging or looking inward, they last.

Lilly was the jerk. [/quote]

Agree, and I think it's especially obnoxious if Lilly knows Megan comes from a country with a lot of poverty, and especially if Lilly knows Megan herself once lived in poverty.

Just own up. "Yes, it's so wasteful. I'd love a better system for making sure food doesn't go bad like this."

Also, I don't actually think Megan was acting "superior." She was making a TRUE observation. What kind of friendship do these women have if Megan isn't even allowed to say something true and correct?

Lilly needs to grow up and take responsibility for her actions. If I were Megan, I'd decline the next invite to her house and spend time with friends who aren't so thin-skinned.[/quote]
