I think I’m with the rudest family in the world

[P0loGirl]

Not only have they made a family meal and all sat down round the table to eat it whilst ignoring me completely, they are all farting and burping away.

I’ve done the only thing I can and retreated to the sofa that is farthest away from the table. I have not been invited to sit down anywhere or offered a drink.

How do I fucking leave politely???

Why do you care about finding a polite way to leave? Just go. They have made it clear you're not welcome there.

Just stand up and walk out.

But some context would be helpful?

I would just leave tbh 😭

Tbh you must have noticed they were cooking and should have left at that point if you weren't invited to join them

This is bizarre, there must be a serious back story

Are you sharing good news about Jesus Christ our Lord?

Guess we’ll never know but if this thread is about manners why not come back and respond?

Why do people start these threads with such scant information and then bugger off?

They are either rubbish hosts or you a rubbish guest. Possibly both. Why are you there? Just stand up, say "Got to go now" to whoever invited you, and leave.

Other than the lack of farting and burping, this sounds like something my dog would write. He really takes the hump at every mealtime if he's told to go and lie down and stop begging!

Do you realise how irritating it is to post half a story like this and not respond to queries asking what it’s all about? Or are you doing it intentionally? Or are you just the family pet?

Is this in your own house or are you visiting someone? In my house, nobody needs a royal invite to sit at the table and eat, you just sit and serve yourself. If you are in someone else’s house, just leave.

My friend invited me. I had no idea her husband was making a massive shepherds pie for all the family.

I think OP must have up and left, cuz she's not answering.
That or the fart fumes got to her.....
Ah good! You're still with us .. we posted at the same time. I'm sorry you had to endure such a miserable dinner.

So why hasn't your friend offered you a drink/invited you to eat with the rest of them?

Who has a family dinner at almost 10pm?

Go and get the biggest bottle of coke, down it all at once, then sit there saying the alphabet while burping really loudly.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. 😅

Joking aside OP, I'm sure you can just leave. Tell them that you can't sit with such crude uncouth people, then disappear off. They're clearly all the pits.

My (late) in-laws were like that. I used to hate going there for a meal. It was like being with cavemen - tey used to pick uo legs of chicken (any meat with a bone), chew and slurp, have juices running down their disgusting faces. Then, they'd burp and fart. Mother-in-law was the worst. I've been married for 45 years, but made him have better table manners long before we got married.

How long have you been there? Did you fruend invite you for a meal or just a visit? Why didn't you leave when they started serving up?

Your friend invited you and is sat eating with her family while you're sat on the sofa????

Why haven't you got up and left????????

Well that's odd, you can easily dish another portion out of a sheperds pie, it's not like separate chops or steaks

We don’t. Just trying to navigate reality

I’ve never understood why people post half a story. Is it attention seeking? Amateur dramatics? Is it the equivalent of posting something cryptic on Facebook to get a whole load of “U ok hun?” responses. Or is it a way to drive engagement with all of the inevitable responses asking for basic info that should have been included in the OP?

Why didn’t you grab a plate and sit down with them? With your friend?

they probably think you are weird and don’t want to disturb your zen….

I have no clue!

People who don't mind indigestion during the night, I guess!
