Bacteria grows rapidly in room temperature foods. The maximum time out of the oven or refrigerator that a food is considered safe to eat is 2 hours. After that point you are taking a chance that you will develop food poisoning. People take quite a few chances on foods. Food poisoning is worse than any virus you have ever had. People are usually hospitalized and put on IV's. Death can occur from food poisoning. 2 hours at room temperature, maximum.

No, definately not. It would be gross an ddried out for one and I'm sure there are a few health rules you'd be breaking by eating that old food.

I dont know if it was baked in (we ordered it) or if it dug its way down when we left if out for a few hours but it was GROSS... so.. its a yes and no, depending

A good rule of thumb would be no but depending on the food it may be ok

some foods yes, others no, its best to put the pans in the fridge at least, even if you don't cover them, in Summer if flies or rats get into it, don't eat it
sometimes I like to leave blueberries or nuts around in small bowls

No way!
Unless you are trying to find a good excuse to call in sick for work.
Vomiting & diarrhea are very good excuses!

My ex-wife used to do that all the time but I don't think it is good.

Depends on what it is... but generally, no. Baked goods are usually OK.
