I brought some "mystery dip" to a pot luck gathering at a private home. Two of the guests, which were extremely obese, not that I care, took the entire container of dip and sat off by themselves to eat it. When I noticed, I got upset. I walked over to them, took the container, and not so politely told them I brought it for EVERYONE and not just them! Did I embarrass them? I sure hope so! Will they pull stunts like that again? Of Course!

Sounds like the type who never eats at home but always 'just drops in' on relatives and friends at mealtimes.

It's especially trashy at such a small, intimate wedding. You shouldn't even be there if you don't know them. It's not like an Indian wedding with 500 people and a huge feast with guaranteed leftovers.

And here I am at work events sneakily taking a small paper plate of finger foods and deserts home to my kids. By sneakily, I mean I linger around with that plate then slowly make my way towards the door and up to my desk. I can’t imagine just brazenly bringing even one Tupperware into one of those events much less a wedding!!

What a trashy person. This isn't like they were poor and unable to afford a proper gift or going home to an empty fridge - if that were the case (and they had ASKED permission to take home the leftovers, NOT the food as it was being served) I don't know that most people would say "no". But when you're someone of means, who is clearly able to afford to get dressed up and attend someone else's wedding at THEIR expense, the very least you can do is be respectful and show some damn decorum. Most folks are happy to give away leftovers at the end of the evening rather than throw the food away. But you damn sure don't just show up and assume the bride and groom's catering order was paid so that you could fill up Tupperware containers and binge on their food at home. I honestly can't imagine how someone like that wouldn't be embarrassed beyond relief to come off so freaking tacky and cheap. Absolutely shameless.

Damn. Given a cookie or small plate to take if someone tells you to is one thing. Showing up to ravage the buffet an no one stopped her is another. I'd have the dad send a letter to them about being an embarrassment and how a $5 "gift" isn't acceptable. I know she didn't know you guys to actually have to do a gift. But that's a slap. And to think she brought all the Tupperware!!! I can't believe no one caught her an stopped her or tossed her out. Hope ur dad rages them an puts a banner out on their lawn showing how cheap ass she is. On your behalf. Lol

Some posts on BP just bring up old memories that at the time made me furious,but now make me chuckle...This is one of the posts. My Dad´s funeral was gate-crashed by a woman I never had seen in my life...showed up at the church ceremony and after joined most of the crowd at my parents house for refreshments and talks of their memories/stories of my father...my father had a long life and was very popular.I naturally was grief-stricken and did not pay too much attention 1of 2

Argggh my mom strikes again. Seriously she would bring storage containers and little kids. Kids were not allowed to eat only fill the containers like it was their portion the give it to her and 5 mins later repeat. She carried a GD duffle bag out of weddings, church potlucks,and got banned from family restaurants doing this behavior. It caught up with her in weight and is probably a thing about food insecurity as a kid as she was oldest in a 5 child household that the parents got steak but the kids were served boiled beans, rice and powdered milk

Had something similar happen at a family gathering. My kids, sister, niece, nephew, grandson, baby mama & her mom. We all pitch in- you either cook or clean up. While people were busy cleaning up, baby mama's mom (who didn't cook, clean or bring food) brought out a box of gallon bags and took home a $h1+lo@d of leftovers, including the ham! We couldn't believe the audacity of this lady to load up and leave.

Wow, the absolute cheek! The audacity! She should've been shoved out as soon as someone noticed the containers. She should be forced to give you the monetary value of the food she took. This has made me so mad, I *hate* entitled scumbags like her.

I looked up the cookie table and damn I'm hungry now

For my wedding present my exbff wanted to give me $200 worth of Amway products. That is he wanted me to purchase $100 of Amway products from him. In return, he promised to THEN give me $100 worth as well. I asked him, "So my present requires me to give you $100?" He didn't come to the wedding and we never spoke again.

One of my sister's have a stock of Tupperware in her trunk for these special occasions. She monitors the room to make sure everyone has visited the spread of food. That's when she needs to go the car for something. She never brings anything but she always leaves with everything.

My son's very large wedding is later this month. I don't many of the guests coming and I just pray nothing weird like this happens!! I hate confrontation but have family that loves it, so they'll handle it i guess. Absolutely beyond the pale behavior of that guest.

For my Aunts funeral, my mother (her sister) paid for and prepared all the food for the buffet at the reception thingy afterwards .It was a lot of food because there were quite a few of us, with family and friends and she spent a great deal of money. A whole bunch of people from my Aunts church (that the rest of us didn't know) came. But as soon as they got to the reception, while family etc were still arriving, they all raced up to the buffet, pulled out a bunch of Tupperware containers, seriously, like 20-30 containers ,start reaching over the other guests and filled them all to the top, packed them all in fridge bags they had brought and left!! I've never seen anything like it ,they were like vultures. It was so rude!

My daughters wedding cost me $100k but between the speeches and greeting people and tipping staff I never had a chance to eat. No big deal but at the end of night I tried to get a plate of leftovers to take home and was told I couldn’t because it somehow went against health department rules. I get hungry just thinking about it.

Personally I would return the $5 back to the woman’s father (bride’s father’s bff) and “explain” that due to the sensitive nature, and to avoid any embarrassment, you really didn’t feel right accepting the gift when it appears things must be very difficult for her and her family. It was noted that she had…explain…and that you wished she had felt comfortable to speak to you or your father directly and you would have been more than happy to put a to-go package together once the festivities were finished. End with well wishes that her situation improves. 😶

🙄🙄..these are the people who show up at Planet Fitness on pizza Monday and Bagel Tuesday to eat free food!!

One of my great aunts comes to family parties that are usually buffet/potluck style. She gets herself a plate then proceeds to make 2-3 plates to take home for her grown children that don't bother to come to the party. Every single time.

Settle a bet for me... After reading the headline I said to my husband I bet dishes this happened around here. He said no way, it has to be Florida. When OP says PA, I claimed victory. He says because it was Western PA not North East I'm wrong and neither of us win.... What say you, pandas?

Well someone was going to eat it. And if they where in need enough to need that food then I say let them have it. And ask is everything ok. Show some compassion before jumping to assumptions about the situation.
