[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, yes it may be annoying but you do realize this is a first world problem.  Too much food.[/quote]

Right, but that's part of why this bothers people like me and OP so much--why don't you get that? It's horribly wasteful to bring food that you know to be extraneous because the host asked you not to bring anything! You're piling food on top of all that your host has already provided. If OP is like me, she had a bountiful menu that was meant to offer an array of choices that all complement one another.

I hate this at the holidays, too, OP. Even with Thanksgiving, when people ask what they can bring and I "assign" them something specific--let's say corn bread muffins--and they show up with that AND two kinds of pie? Well, let's put that next to the three pies I already baked, and look, Sally Jean also brought a pie in addition to the veggie tray I did ask her to bring. So now we've got five pies, a cake, and cookies. And only six adults.

The whole reason I personally get miffed about that is BECAUSE it is a first world problem--too much food![/quote]

Oops, I'm clearly bad at math--that would be six pies.[/quote]
