Okay, well I have this problem. Everytime I buy lunch, for exmaple Poutine, then my friends always eat off of me? I mean, I don't mind. I'm generally, a friendly social person but lately it's been bothering me. At first, only 2 or 3 of them would take a couple of fries but the other day, like they ALL took some. Especially 2 of them who just keep picking and picking. It was especially disturbing when one took it and as I tried to casually take the box back, I saw her stuffing one after another into her mouth...I commented that 'woah, you must be really hungry!' jokingly to get her to kind of stop but I don't think it really worked. Plus, I don't want to hurt her feelings or anything.
What really bothers me more is that they have their own lunch too. Everyday they would bring lunches but never buy...btw they even drink my drink as well! T.T
What should I do to make them stop without hurting their feelings? I was considering bringing lunch since they don't eat that as much...

tell them not to because there's a danger of passing around illness...like meningitis or mono or the flu or stuff like that and you don't want to get sick. or your still hungry after lunch lately and it's cause they're eating all your food. if it was me I would slap there hands and tell them to eat their own stinking lunch. Don't be a push over! especially if they aren't asking and are just taking your food! be like "hey! I didn't give you permission Greedy Azz!" or tell them not to touch your food cause their hands are dirty...SAY SOMETHING!! STICK UP FOR YOURSELF!!!

Well, it seems your friends don't have manners and are selfish!
You can't talk to the worst ones, take them aside and say, you're a great friend, but please stop picking my lunch (and let them know you are telling the rest to knock it off).
I personally would swat there hands and say "Get your own dudes" If that didn't work, i would buy lunch and sit somewhere else and eat fast and then go join them.
If that still didn't work, I would bag my lunch and save the money to get some junkfood stash later.
In the end, you could also learn to accept it and...EAT FAST!!!!

I think you are an easy mark and usually easy marks pay. Tell these " moochers " to buy their own lunch or you find another place to eat. You could also leave the fries or chips whatever in the lunch bag with the opening facing you. If they reach for your food give their hand a good whack!!

Wow! I have a friend like that too! This may be kinda gross but when you catch her looking at you lick all your food! Or if she dosen't see you when she grabs it tell her you just licked it. You won't have to do that every time but soon she won't want to grab it because she will think you licked it.And if she dosent belive you make her. Maybe some of your other friends will play along.

If you can't tell them to stop, then definately bring your own lunch.
Another way is to eat like half of the fries before you get to the table. Stuff it in your mouth, so that way you get some type of satisfaction of getting some fries.

Make a point one day at how hungry you are and when you get to lunch, make that point again. When they go to grab your food just tell them that you are starving and can't really share today.

Either go somewhere to eat by yourself or don't worry about hurting their feelings (they apparently don't care if you go hungry), and say something like, "hey, that's mine, get your own" & laugh, they should get the hint.

tell them when you sit down that you are really hungry and you'd appreciate if they left you some food to eat( say it jokingly)...then if they still dont get it be a jerk and tell them to lay off lol
