Bairnardo Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I'm not commenting on the Throbber situation tbf. I take issue with the "Chinese food is for sharing". As Pandarilla pointed out, as long as everyone understands the score. Whe me and Mrs B get a chinese we will just get and eat our own thing. Occasionally though if some family are round for one we will just all pick something but it will just all lie on the table for us all to get a wee bit of each. Perfectly normal, and sociable and certainly wouldnt take the form of someone "reaching over to take a bit of my dinner". Are there folk who think it works by helping yourself off eachothers plates?

heedthebaa Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Chinese restaurant is fine to share, normally with a banquet for how many are there, spinny table, beers, conversation etc. Takeaway Chinese imho is f**k off and eat what you ordered, the “ooo can I try that, it looks nice” fuckers can piss right off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji23]It doesn't need to be that literal. But if I ordered something and someone said "that looks nice, I'll have some" they'd be told where to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food is done best when it's shared with good company. It's always been this way for humans, and Chinese takeaway is no different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no difference, if you set it up properly, and folk ken what's happening.Ultimately it comes back to that thing we're taught as children, that it's good to share. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have said so at the start. That way we would have known to ignore anything you say on the subject of food, since your tastebuds are evidently broken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novercal Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Flat tires especially when I wake up with a flat tire, it really gets on my nerves. That is why I always bring my Tactical backpack https://totalguide.org/best-tactical-backpack/ on my car, that includes my emergency tools.

Order what you want to eat and eat it. Why on earth would you order something and then assume you'll be helping yourself to other people's food? On this issue, absolutely! I'm not commenting on the Throbber situation tbf. I take issue with the "Chinese food is for sharing". Because it's not other people's food until its on their plate. I'd genuinely never considered the possibility that people might order chinese or indian food as part of a group but just for themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People that think their choice is their "own" meal generally have few social skills and poor personal hygeine. Always the same ones who come out with "mine was £5.95 and i put in £6" Fūck off. There is nothing worse, and I include aids and paedophilia in this, than people taking a "wee bit of yours". Order the food you want and eat it yourself. You can't have some of my chips, rice, naan or any other side I have ordered. I did so because I'm hungry, not to give it away.
