Answer 1

I would have turned to her and said, "Oh, would you like me to summon the waiter so you can order some of this, or would you like this plate? I can order another for myself, and we can settle the bill after dinner".

It is never polite to comment on the table manners of another. It is best to simply set the proper example. The embarassment, if any, should be hers.

Answer 2

The girl who ate almost all of your tamales was rude. A polite person would offer to exchange some food (e.g. hey, would you like to try some of my appetizer? and you being polite would also offer her some of yours). But this business of pigging out on someone else's food is too much. If you say something, your friend is likely to stick up for his girlfriend even though she was wrong. Many ppl would just try to avoid this rude person and make excuses not to go out to dinner if she is coming. I can't tell you what to do, but do think about possible consequences before doing anything. The worst is when a couple of ppl at the table order really expensive dishes and /or expensive wine and then they want to split the check by the # of guests. I will not subsidize those ppl and just pay the exact amount of what I ordered plus 15% tip.

Answer 3

It's just a few tamales. Seeing as how it was an appetizer, I could see how she might have been under the impression that you bought it to share. If it's really that important to you, then you can mention it to her, "Hey, last time we went out to eat, you ate some of my tamales without asking and I wanted those for myself." But seriously, it's just a little bit of food.

I don't really see the point in doing anything about it now, because you really should be more concerned about the man you were with, not the other person's date. A little grace might go a long way and leave a good impression on your date.

Answer 4

It's too late to say something now.. but you had every right to.
She sounds like a pig, with no tact, and NO manners!

I would have called the waitress over and ordered another plate of tamales, and pushed your plate over to her, and said, "you must be starving!!! here you go ahead and have these, I'll order another for myself, We can settle the bill later"

It would still have been polite on you end, but it would have gotten your point across..

Don't go out with them again, if they ask why, be polite, but tell them about it..

Answer 5

Are you kidding me? What a great question! Of course you should get mad. That's such bull-crap, seriously, if you could, you should probably take that fork and stab him/her, I didn't finish reading your questions cause it was so long, but the question, i DID read the question, and basically nothing like that should ever happen to anyone.

So, let me get this right, you guys are going to go eat and everybody has ordered something, right? What the heck are they doing eating your food? That's ridiculous. What I say is get back with them later on in life. One day, what might happen is this, you're going to be married and be wealthy and they're going to be working their entire life cause I mean, that's what probably going to happen to food thieves, and they're going to want to start a family, your friends, and buy a new house or something, so what you do it, you lend them the money, this is where it gets good, you lend them the money, be generous about it and then when they've made their down payment, you set the whole goddamned thing on fire and you still make them pay you back. Then, right before she passes away, at her hospital bed, you go, "hey, remember that house that you tried to buy? well, that we me, I set it on fire. That's what you get for eating one of my fries (or whatever she ate, remember, I didn't finish reading your question.)

Okay, good luck, I hope that helps.

Answer 6

Ask the next time you are in that same situation if she has a tail like Dersley from Harry Potter, a little curly piggy tail. Better yet, make oinking noises when she does that, or tell the waitress,"Oh, sorry, you made a mistake, that belongs on her bill as she has eaten it, so it must have been hers." When she acts like a pig push your nose up and make a piggy face and make rude grunting noises. Maybe she will get the hint.

Answer 7

How in the world can you even ask this question? You SHOULD have ordered her, curtly, to keep her hands off your food. Period. I agree, it's stupid to say something now.

This is a symptom of the relationship you have with her. She treats you like a doormat because you let her. I would never have tolerated this behavior, and because of that I have no friends or acquaintances that would ever act this way.

I'll never understand why people let inconsiderate morons walk all over them, then complain about it later.

Answer 8

Yes, by all means say something! I'd have said 'that's mine' right away as she reached for the appetizers. Being polite is cool but don't let people walk all over you!

Answer 9

Yes you should say something. Not only was that terribly rude, but it was also disgusting. Let her know that you do no appreciate her digging her nasty little fingers into your food and eating any of it.. Tell her that if she wanted some she should have asked for your permission first.

Answer 10

Yes you should since you are the one paying for it. It's rude and shows a lack of self control on her part. You're not hogs at the trough. If she wants more she can buy her own.
