I only have the first few bites. Rest is nasty backwash

Not your blog

It's almost as if biology is complicated and people are different.

>>11035450
understandable post put bad picture to represent it.

it's almost custom to order more than your party can eat at typical chinese restaurants. you tend to see big groups of families and friends, and all the food is shared. so if there is no food left over, it means the person treating didn't order enough and people "are still hungry", which is bad manners. it's seen as sort of a luxurious feast occasion.

>>11035450
Stop caring and you'll enjoy life a lot more, it's their money so they can waste it if they want. Restaurant portions are pretty big and who knows maybe they decided to hurry up and leave because you were eating so fast.

>fat short girl finishes only 60% of her food and had the least amount of food
You just know she did that for appearances and probably went home and ate two more meals that night. Dear fat people, just eat your fucking food like disgusting pig you are. You aren't fooling anyone.

It's considered poor manners to finish all your food.

>>11036478
Share them faggot.

>>11035450
>force me to eat dinner with you and the group to socialize
>don’t want to waddle around bloated all night as we do other shit
>can’t realistically ask for a smaller portion
>eat as little as I can and leave to the bar or bumper cars or whatever the fuck

Fuck you “gotta eat 3 square meals and a snack until I’m stuffed” people.

>>11036549
What, your restaurant is too fancy for a children's menu? Fucking child.

>>11036552
Some places won’t serve the kid’s menu to adults, and I don’t want Dino tendies anyways.

I wish tapas or small plates menus were more frequent.

Just take it the rest with you.

>>11036536
Only in chink land

>>11035450
A lot of women don't finish their meals because of superficiality - they don't want to appear glutinous. I used to work with mostly women and when we went to lunch I always had to finish their food. Pretty sweet deal actually, saves you some money

>>11036549
Just get a beer then, numbnuts

>>11036574
You can ask for anything in a restaurant. Just say you want a smaller portion and don't want a discount.

>>11036591
I always wish to appear glutinous.

>>11036585
In chink land it's considered polite to eat all your food and then burp at the table.

>>11035450
I'm only one sentence in and i can already tell you're going to get raped

>>11035450
What the fuck is wrong with not eating all the food?
It's not like you're helping anyone by having all of it go through your GI tract vs. having some of it go in the garbage.
Are you trying to impress someone?

>>11036518
as an overweight person i am offended by this. you obviously don't know how we work.

what we do is eat a bunch BEFORE we go out to eat, that way we can share in the communal experience of being satisfied with a normal meal.

>>11036737
Check your English as a native speaker privilege

>>11036585
>>11036536
I can confirm that Bongland guidelines of etiquette dictate that a forkful or so should be left on the plate. This indicates to your host that you have had enough to eat, but that you are now full and that you have left a small piece to indicate this.

>>11037521
You guys are subhuman. But they clearly left more than a fork full

>>11037550
Well, that's just plain fucking rude.
If you leave very much more than a forkful, then that would indicate to your host that you perceived that the meal was of substandard quality, and that by extension of this, your host had provided poor quality fayre. This would be considered rather rude, on a par with refusing the soup course.

>>11037559
who the fuck said anything about fairies

>>11037521
Image a culture so aristocratic and bored out of its skull that they start inventing rules about what you should do during dinner. Can't just have a nice relaxing meal after a long day at work, nooo, you need to follow some gay ass table etiquette

>>11037628

>>11037647
Well honestly I don't think I'd end up in a situation where this etiquette will be required of me but if I do I think it will be funny to memorize it so well that id find mistakes in the etiquette of my hosts, making them feel awkward

>>11037671
Maybe you will, maybe you won't.
Some rules of etiquette apply in every day life. You probably follow them without realising, such as when you attend for a job interview, you wait to ask to be seated before you sit in the chair.

>>11037628
Gunnm is the best.

>>11036478
the only normal sized serving of nachos is a mountain.

>>11037692
>you wait to ask to be seated before you sit in the chair.
That's very debatable. In such a context you'd want to show confidence, and you do that by feeling and acting like you're at home
>>11037701
Yeah too bad they're gonna fuck up the movie

>>11037742
>you'd want to show confidence, and you do that by feeling and acting like you're at home

How it should go
>"Good morning, thank you for attending todays interview with AnonCo"
>Thank you - Shakes hand - It's a pleasure to be here this morning
>Stands next to chair
>"Won't you please take a seat Mr Anon?"
>Why thank you
>Take seat

How you are doing it
>"Good morning"
>Takes seat
>Interviewer takes note that you have no manners. Probably burgers of the ass or something.

>>11037378
ESL and that was really funny. I rarely see an ESL making a fuss about being corrected, it's always a native speaker who I assume only speak one language.

>>11035450
Wasting food's a motherfucking virtue in murica!
Why don't you pack it and send it to the starving worms that have nothing but dirt and hungry black kids to nibble on?

>>11037767
>"Good morning"
>Initiate handshake, say your name, and repeat theirs to make sure you remember it and show that you care
>Sit down once any potential small talk is over and start the interview

That is unless they obviously want to take the initiative for any or all of the steps or want to do things differently, in which case you follow their lead confidently.

>>11036536
Only in China. And only in homes. In restaurants nobody cares.

>>11037720
this

>>11037767
Well I've had several IT jobs and been on about 20 interviews. Success rate was about 50% so make out of what you will. I would rather go in with a casual mindset and not worry about stupid shit

>>11037857
>been on about 20 interviews
>Success rate was about 50%

>several is now 50% of 20

Pajeet coders everyone. Strike another one up for the University of Delhi statistics division.

>>11035450
shot people got no reason to live.

>>11035450
>Eating food another male touched
You're gay for that

>>11035450
you are the worst kind of person to go out with. i bet you also ask people who drink slowly "are you drinking that?" in order to try and get them to drink at a pace thats uncomfortable to them.

>>11036232
>fat because metabolism
oh no sweetie

>>11037910
>University of Delhi
'Throw Enough Poo at the Wall U'

>>11037521
I'm from Bongland and I have never heard of this.

>>11037910
If you weren't such a dipshit you'd figure out that I've had offers that I've turned down

>>11037931
Well even if they do, most of the time they die from blood loss

>>11038313
>>11037910
Just to clarify so you don't get confused again - some people, in this case me, who have valuable skills and are sought after, usually get different offers from different companies. That puts them in a position where they can choose which one they prefer. I know this will probably shock you, but one day you may get there

P.s. I don't work in IT anymore because it's for soulless losers. But you seem to be either frustrated that you can't get a dev job, or you do have one and are miserable yet can't do anything else. Tough luck sweetie :)

i eat slow as fuck.
like, a sandwich takes me 30 minutes minimum.
so when people do shit like >>11038231
i make a point to not change a god damn thing about my pace.

and i only take food home if i liked it or if i didnt get enough because some knobgoblin was in a hurry.

>>11036518
I always make room for desert.

>>11038347
>frustrated that you can't get a dev job

Confirmed for pajeet coder.
Devs are the lowest on the rung of IT. I don't even allow my devs local admin rights.

>>11038231
Why would I ask them if they're eating their food? Kys

>>11038371
Nobody asks people if they're eating they're food. This is not about being rushed, we all sat and ate for a good near hour. They just sat there and had no intention of finishing their meal.

>>11036536
In subhuman cultures it is.
In proper cultures all around the world if you don't finish your food it shows you probably didn't like it and insults pretty much everyone who bought you the meal or cooked the meal. Nobody is saying lick your plate or eat every grain of rice. If you're leaving a huge chunk of food on your plate you're a dipshit

>>11035450
>invite guests over
>they insist on drinking sparkling water
>get a pack of bottles
>guest takes a bottle, have a few sips then leaves it
>doesn't even take it with them, full bottle wasted.

and

>order pizza
>people take a slice of pizza
>take a few bites of the pizza innards
>throws the rest away crust AND parts of juicy pizza
>takes more pizza
>about 40-50% of the entire pizza wasted
protip: all these people were poor

poor people waste the most food, every poor person i know throws food away like nothing then complains they can't afford shit

>>11036536
>being a chinaman
you dun goofed

>>11036232
if you accept that some people gain weight more easily due to genetics, you accept some are inferior to others.

>>11038670
>cutting crusts

>>11038569
Confirmed bloated middle management who will be the first laid off in the coming recession.

>>11038670
>"B-b-but m-muh carbs!!!!"
It's a fucking pizza, it's not going to get any healthier even if you skip the crust for fuck sakes!

Some people think im weird when i say i deliberately fast the whole day and the evening before it if i know im about to eat out. Fuck them, i want to enjoy it, eat it all and perhaps even order a dessert or appetisers too!

>>11038894
I do this too.

Haven’t eaten anything today and about to go to B-DUBS

>>11036598
Dipshit thing to do

This whole thread is retard nonsense

>>11038952
>Dipshit thing to do
Not him but why? The restaurant benefits and he's not wasting food.

>>11035450
>I don't waste food
>I just keep cramming it in my face even after I feel full
>that is a good use of food and not a waste

>>11037671

>>11037671
Great view desu.

>>11037228
Everyone still thinks you're holding out. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

>going out to eat
>not going out to taste
absolutement plebeian

>>11038894
The worst part is that it was a Pizzahut stuffed crust pizza they ALL WANTED. It was stuffed with cheese and they not only didn't finish the entire noncrust part of the pizza but the crust too.

>>11039061
>ordering food you can't finish eating
>spending 15-30 dollars and not eating your money's worth.
You waste food and money.

>>11037671
is that a butt

>>11035450
When I was touring the middle east, we had reservations at a hotel each night and a catered breakfast/dinner.

The Europeans who came on the trip were mostly respectful not leaving much behind on the plate, but the 18-30's were fucking wasteful and left tons of food on their plate. I made sure to finish off my plate and leave no leftovers. I want to make sure the people of Jordan/Israel dont think all Americans are wasteful ungrateful fucks.

So yeah. I totally get the feels OP.
But if I was in America? Id be more comfortable leaving a bit of food on the plate, as its not perceived as disrespectful.

>>11036309
I really hate this, I see it a lot since I eat out in London chinatown often & it's always the chinamen who do it

>>11036309
chinese people are subhuman

>>11040307
18-30s? What the fuck are those

>>11038952
Hurr durrr I can't finish my food mommy mom.
