Is this rude or not?

[Sidelook]

Ds had a few friends over all aged 16 as is Ds. I was out and they were gone when I came back. Ds had a moody face on so I asked him what was the matter? He said that he had the hump because he was upstairs came down into the kitchen where his friends were. To find that they had gone through the draws and cupboards and ate all of the crisps and biscuits without asking first.
Ds said that he would never do this at their houses or anyone else’s house as it’s rude to not have asked first!
I know it’s not a first world problem and teenagers get hungry. But I do think that it was rude of them or aibu?

Yes, very rude. Entitled brats.

i'd be thinking about having these kids around again. no wonder ds was cross. teens get hungry but that is technically theft if it hasn't been offered, plus what else might they have been looking at while he wasn't there ? that must have been some very quick eating or else he was upstairs a fair time.

I do think it’s rude but did your son ask them if they wanted anything to eat or drink? Hosts can also be rude...

Very rude
Greedy fuckers

It is definitely rude, but your DS must have left them alone for a very long time - was there a problem before that?

That is so bloody rude, I wouldn't have them back in my house again!

They had been out in town first and they all had something to eat. Then back to our house. Ds was upstairs with one of the friends on the Xbox and then he went downstairs.

Ah - it's a forgivable offense

Very rude of them.

Greedy feckers.

I strongly suspect he have them them, ate his fair share, thought you'd be mad, and decided to get in first and blame them.

Not all Bluntness 100.

Not at all Bluntness 100

Very rude OP.
Sad reflection on their parenting.

As a visitor in somebody else home, I would wait to be asked. Not just help myself because the host was upstairs. And my Ds certainly would not do this as he has been brought up to be respectful to others, inside and outside of our home.

Sounds like they were disrespectful to him, he's right to be fed up, and rude to you. Are they his usual friends?

I think it's a bit strange that DS left them unattended downstairs while he played upstairs on a game. But yes they were rude.

It's rude but it's hardly a big deal, is it?

Sorry op, I'd bet money on it. And you would have been pissed wouldn't you. I guarantee they asked for something to eat and he handed it over.

And he was upstairs so long playing x box that he didn't know, and just left them all down their on their own,

Sure he did, and if he did, explain to him if you invite people to your house, you host them. You don't leave them all and fuck off and play your Xbox for so long you don't know what they are doing.

Rude. Your DS sounds like a well brought up lad.

VERY rude. My sibling’s children have done this since they were a very young age. Drives me up the wall!

As per above, the crisp snafflers were rude, but it's also rude (and in hindsight, unwise) to leave your guests kicking their heels downstairs. They all sound dreadfully... sixteen.

Why did he leave his friends to play xbox elsewhere?

Rude to help yourself at a guest’s house.

Rude to invite guests back and leave them whilst you go and play x-box.

Very rude. Where would they draw the line at what is acceptable to help themselves to? What if they found cash or car keys? They are old enough to understand boundaries.
