Well my Grandmother had offered to pay for the rest of my college tuition. In celebration of the fact that I got a good report card last semester, she wanted to tell me she was paying the rest of my tuition by taking me out to dinner. She let me get anything I wanted- so I ordered a shrimp appetizer, and a T-Bone steak (large cut of course), and a soup and salad combo- u know salads are good for ya. I also was allowed dessert. I wanted a banana split. Anyways here's the part that makes me mad. Before digging in, my Grandma wanted to know if she could have some. I told her "No" in a polite manner, and started digging in. My Grandma told me she loved banana splits, and if I could just let her taste some. I finally got irratated and told her to order her own damn banana split, that I was hungry and for her to leave me the hell alone. After I was done eating it, my Grandmother told me she refused to pay my tuition because I was a brat that needed to learn manners. Was she right to do this?

Hell yeah. I would have left you with the bill too. How dare you dis-respect her when she is doing something nice for you that she has no obligation to do. You spoiled little sh*t.

She was absolutely right and I can't believe you would not share (do you know what sharing is?!?!?!?!) WHATEVER she asked you to share. First you took advantage by ordering all that expensive food and second you were selfish. You must be a child that has been given everything and never had to work for anything. It is time you realize what life is about and instead of TAKING from others, give a little of yourself. Work for your tuition and you will appreciate it more and hopefully it will give you a better character than what was displayed not only at dinner but by your obvious lack of manners and respect by even having to ask a question like this. GOOD GOING GRANDMA!! Cut the brat off and don't give her s***. And no more checks in the birthday cards either. And I am happy to see all the other answers agree that you are a brat. When is the last time you done something nice for anyone????????

Hey, if you had treated me like that I would not pay for your tuition, books, meals or any other things you wanted. I would have probably gone one better than your grandmother and walked out of there leaving you stuck with the bill.
Your grandmother is right you are a spoiled brat that needs to learn some manners.
And I hope she tells your parents about what you did and that they refuse to pay any more of your bills. So, grow up sister get a job. I find that having to work 40 hours a week at some stinking job you hate for a boss you can't stand does wonders for your manners.

high five to Grandma!! My kids don't swear at me or their grandparents, and better not to any adult.
Why didn't your Grandma order anything? If nothing else, and the banana split was something you wouldn't share, could you not have said, "Here Grams, you take it, I'm full..or How about I order you your own sundae?
If I was Grams, I would have walked out of the restaurant without paying for your food. Let you go wash dishes for your sundae

Yes she was 100% right to do this!!! You acted like an ungrateful brat! What's the matter with you? You can't share a little bit of your banana split with your grandmother??? What the hell's the matter with you???

Well it sounds like you are a brat and need to learn some manners. your grandmother did a nice thing for you by buying you that expensive dinner. she was even nicer to offer to pay your tuition and it sounds like you blew it yourself. so now in your position you need to step up to the plate and take responsibility for yourself. get a summer job and pay your own tuition. after all it was your choice to be rude to a person that would do that for you. maybe you could even join the military and have them pay your tuition you can be rude to them and they will still pay.

Considering she took YOU out to dinner, paid for YOUR meal and allowed you to get whatever YOU wanted, I think it's rather selfish to think that she doesn't have the right to feel that way. I think you took advantage of the situation and didn't appreciate what she was offering to you. It wouldn't have REALLY been a big deal to give her a BITE would it? Bare in mind you had a 3 course meal before the dessert!!!!

Maybe she was just testing to see how grateful for things you truly are. If I had my choice between an ungrateful brat or a grateful child, I'm going for the grateful one.

Yes.
In my opinion you're very ungrateful. You want someone to share their money and you couldn't share with them the smallest of things. I think your question and story show your immaturity.
If my grandma took me out to dinner and wanted to pay for my college I would have given her the whole meal! I would have cooked her one.
