To feel uncomfortable when people repeatedly try to get you to accept refreshments?

[usedtogotomars]

Another thread made me think of this.

I know some people find it funny/charming/eccentric but am I the only one who actually finds it quite ignorant when people push food onto you and won’t accept repeated ‘honestly, I’m fine .... thank you but I’ve had enough ... no, really ....’

I’ve actually stopped visiting a friend because of this as she always wants to visit her Mum and her mum spends the entire visit getting me to try and eat something.

yes, vv irritating and tedious.

You've got two thread going on these me topic, OP. Perhaps get MNHQ to zap one.

In the meantime, accept the mum's nibbles, and pick at one for the whole visit.

I find it irritable when the visitor refuses refreshment when we’re just about to eat. Am I supposed to bugger off to my food to another room, leave them alone and let them wait until I’m finished or let them watch me eat ( I find both solutions rude and it makes me uncomfortable) ?

I know echt the site was playing up when I posted.

No weirdness

Do you only ever eat when other people are eating?

No but I’m not going to postpone eating until the visitor is gone.

No one wants you to! They just don’t want to eat themselves!

Don't think I've ever turned down a snack in my life
