[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. This happens at all my hosted brunches or dinners with this group. It’s not a potluck. And this is like 4 groups of friends all taking their items back. Half eaten guacamole, even scooping out of the serving dish. Half bag of chips. Sometimes they ask if you’re not going to eat this I’ll take it back. But I feel like it’s rude for me to say yes please leave it. So I say they can have it back but just the fact that they take it back or ask I feel is rude and don’t know if there is anything I can politely say about it. Oh well. Thank you for making me feel normal lol! [/quote]

This is nuts. You tell them you don't want it, and your blame them for believing you? If hosting is too much of a burden for you, stop hosting. [/quote]

DP, and this isn't nuts, you are rude. OP doesn't need to stop hosting, you need to stop attending as a guest if this is your attitude.

The guest SHOULD NOT ASK if the host wants to keep it. That is the rudeness. OP, the host, who is polite, says "oh you can take it" only because they were asked. Proper etiquette here is to assume that the host is keeping it, and only if the host brings it up "Oh, we can't possibly keep these leftovers for whatever reason" then the guest may take what they brought. It is not for the guest to bring up.  [/quote]
