If your spouse cooked the meal and she wants a portion of it saved for later she should separate that portion out and put it away before serving the dish.

I once worked with a dude who brought his own large bowl to these. Think like... Dog bowl sized, fill it to the brim with every possible thing, mix them all up and wolf it down
He would repeat this until he was in physical pain.
He would take every possible leftover home.
He would eat ENTIRE boxes of donuts and whole birthday cakes if unsupervised.
He had to be talked to by management about this.
Multiple times.

His desk was full of various sauce and salt packets because he would take ALL of them.

Dog bowl size is not an easily understood unit of measurement. My dog , Cromwell, is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and his bowl is smaller than a Great Danes but bigger than a Chihuahuas.

I can understand big bowl, but then you complicate it by a simile that makes no loving sense. You are worse than your co worker in almost every way for this.

But let’s pretend for a thought exercise. And my spouse makes a big mass of beef stroganoff.

Can they Pre claim a quarter of it for their future meal? Can they only if they cooked it?

This is more complicated than I initially thought when I was screeching at my mother

If you're married your spouse can not only claim a portion of dinner for their lunch, they can ask you to make a stroganoff or quiche for them to take for lunches. And then if you overeat such that they only have 3 lunches rather than five, they are justified to be mildly annoyed and/or tease you for being a greedy little piggy.

(As long as the overall relationship is equitable anyways.)

Your move, creep.



What if you're both at the grocery store and you grab a single serving meal, and you ask your significant other if they'd like one and they say no, then the next day you go to eat it but it's gone and when you ask them about it they say, "Don't worry about it, it wasn't even good"?

I feel like just on principle I should have broken up with them, especially because I know that it was good. I bought it because it was good.

My experience with mushrooms is that if they're in a paper bag they dry out, if they're plastic wrapped they turn liquid. Never had any grow mold.

As long as pre-claiming meant that there was still enough left over for the meal itself I wouldn't care. We try to avoid leftovers because odds are one or the other will forget that we had it and then it will go bad.

I get the argument that someone could just make a second batch but that's extra dishes.

What I thought would be a total non issue has ballooned into a huge problem and I'm up at 7:05 AM dealing with it. I figured while I wait for a text, I could post here to see if what I did was really that bad.

I'm a big fat rear end, there's no way around it. I love to eat which probably borders on addiction but I figure since I'm only hurting myself it's probably better to just live my life. I have some great friends although there is no doubt I'm the "harmless, funny token fat guy" of the otherwise pretty good looking group. I guess that sets the stage enough.

Last night my friend hosted UFC and I was invited. He got a 6 foot party sub. I also brought homemade wings that are sort of my specialty. Well of course people flocked to the food and I had basically one serving of the sandwich but people devoured my wings and I didn't get to have a single one. Which is totally fine that's why I brought them but maybe an hour later I was starving. I kept eyeing the sandwich and I'd say there was about 3 feet of it left. I waited an hour, then another half hour and no one had touched it (but they were still munching on chips, pretzels and what not). So I was like screw it...I took about half of what was left and ate it. Then the last half sat for another 10-15 minutes and no one said anything so ate the rest.

Well to be sure as I was swallowing the last bite the host's girlfriend asked where the sandwich was. Like I was the guilty party pretty much everyone pointed at me. I guess they'd noticed me eating the sandwich. She was furious and said that I was an incredible pig and that I had been super selfish to eat 3 feet of a sandwich. I felt so bad I tried to explain to her that I really did wait over an hour and thought people had lost interest. I also tried to explain how everyone had ate my wings and she said something along the lines of "you brought them to share Alan, if someone had eaten over half by themselves that's not loving sharing is it?"

I offered to order pizza or even go get subways and she said that it was a pathetic offer because the party sub had been from a local shop owned by her friends. I said I was sorry but the night was so tense from then on out.

I woke up this morning to several texts from my twin sisters (the host's girlfriend's best friends) saying that I had to get my poo poo under control and that everyone is really mad at me and that I embarrassed myself last night. I tried to explain to them what my mindset had been and they haven't responded.

Was I the rear end in a top hat for eating that much of the sandwich last night?

Edit: I guess I’ve been banned from responding but my inbox has 1200 notification so I can’t find out why.

To answer what seems to be the most common misconception, this wasn’t a subway party sub so definitely not 4x the size of a regular sub. This is a local place so it’s about 1.5 times the width of a regular sub. Its still a ton of food don’t get me wrong but I can down 5 subway footlongs in an afternoon easily; this is probably about equivalent to that, not 12 like some people are saying.
