KINKY DOESN'T SHARE FOOD!

[KinkyAfro]

We have found a company that makes healthy lunches so we've done a big lunch order for today. Each person was asked what they wanted and this was ordered under each person name. I ordered my main (garlic chicken superfood salad) and a side (roasted mixed peppers), everyone else has ordered sweet potato fries but I don't like these so went with the peppers. No-one else has ordered peppers.

One of the women in the office has decided that we should all sit in the meeting room and have lunch together and we can all share our fries/my peppers. I don't want to share my peppers and I don't want any fries, how can I say I'd rather not share what I've ordered without coming across as mean/childish.

If they wanted bloody peppers they should have ordered bloody peppers

Can you say that you ordered peppers as you don't like the fries so would prefer not to share them?

Yanbu, Monkey doesn't share food either

Can you tell them you don't like fries, hence you ordering peppers, so sorry won't be able to share.

'No thanks, I don't fancy fries, I'll just eat my own peppers' should suffice.

Just say you don't like the fries so you'll stick to your peppers thank you very much. and hunch over your plate and shovel them in like your life depends on it

If they've all ordered fries, why on earth would they want to share? Other than to steal your peppers, obvs. I bet a few didn't order fries and plan on just nicking off everyone else.

I wouldn't share either.

when they placed the order I told them I didn't like fries so that's why I ordered the peppers. Can't believe they still expect to me to share them, rude, grabby, entitled bastards

Sit at your desk with a big sign saying

TOUCH MY FOOD AND YOU WILL DIE

While pointing threateningly with a little plastic fork. Stab anyone who ventures to close to your desk with aforementioned fork.

"I ordered the peppers because I don't like sweet potato fries. I don't want to share." Should do the trick.

Or the fork-stabbing thing could work, too

I feel your pain. It's bad enough having family members ask to share food but colleagues. Fuck that for a game of soldiers.

Last night, my 7 year old son asked if he could have "one of your crisps, please mummy" and I paused (for a LONG while) before I said yes. I am a terrible mother.

Why do people do this???? If you want peppers then order the fucking peppers NOT THE FRIES!!!!

YaNbu

Although now I want the peppers AND the fries

I'm another non sharer, I'm very protective over my beloved madras and like to eat it in a certain way.. No rice sharing, no 'ooh can I try yours??' And touch my naan and die..

I think I'll go with "I'm too busy so I'm going to continue to go on Mumsnet work through lunch so will eat at my desk

Ooh, that's so annoying.

I loved Gavin and Stacy, the food sharing episode was hilarious. I must watch it again.

Tell them to ring and amend the order if they want to add some sharing platters. Cheeky gitbags.

Grab the peppers and lick them all before smiling at everyone and asking if they want to share - works a treat in this house

I don't remember the food sharing episode, thornrose - love G&S though. Who was sharing what?

Oh God this boils my piss. Tapas is the work of the fucking devil.

• What three dishes would you like Shelagh?
• Ooh, the chorizo, the sweetcorn fritters and the squid please.

So why the fuck do I look at my little dish of chorizo 3 minutes after it arrived to find the bastard lot gone???? Fuck the fuck off food stealers!

Ah, Smithy's takeaway rant. Love it

:o :o Yes!

You won't be the only one who really doesn't want to share. As soon as you say "Sorry if rather just eat my own," there'll be a load of others who do the sane, you mark my words.

*I'd and share. FFS.

Refer to yourself in the third person often enough and they'll soon give you a wide berth anyway.

I must be old. I assumed this was a reference to Friends.

The title was Teenandtween, I don't watch G&S

It is, Teen, I remember the Joey Doesn't Share Food scene well.
