But he wanted it.

[Brandnewskytohangyourstarsupon]

Just been away with another family consisted of mum, dad and 16 year old son.
We cooked breakfast each morning before going out for the day. (Me, dp, my 2 year old)

Im the only one who doesn’t eat meat. So I bought some hash browns, potato cakes, beans & toast . Heaven!

last day, sausages, bacon, fried bread, beans and toast for everyone. I had one potato cake left.
i was busy making coffee for everyone, put cups in front of everyone then sat down for my breakfast.

They left me a spoonful of beans, all toast was gone and my last remaining potato cake was upon the 16 year olds plate under 3 sausages, 5 rashers of bacon, 2 slices of toast and a pile of beans.

One spoonful of fucking beans. No bread left for toast.

So! WWYD?

Not much you can do now it’s over. Very selfish of them though

YANBU. This is just plain inconsiderate. What did they think you were going to eat?

I take it your title is what the parents response was?
Selfish gits.

I would have been annoyed with DH for not having my back... and sent the 16yr old or its parents to the shop for some breakfast for me...

I certainly hope you were too hungry and weak to do one fucking inch of the driving and absolutely no cleaning. Hmmmmm I’m guessing not though!

I would have looked surprised and said “Oh you’ve all taken all of the vegetarian food, what am I supposed to eat now?” Then waited to see what the greedy selfish feckers had to say for themselves.

You were in the same room making coffee. Not "out of sight, out of mind". I can't conceive how anyone could be that inconsiderate of a friend.

Never go on holiday with them again, for a start.

Ach, he's sixteen. People are selfish. You live and learn. Make sure you are only doing your fair share, and put dibs on your fair share of the scran next time. Hope you ragged them mercilessly and made someone get you something, if not why not?

Please tell me that you said something upon the lines of "have you got enough Greedy bastard teen?"

Always keep your food boxed away. People don't care.
What I have learnt from a life of not eating gluten and dairy.

Say “oh dear - I guess I had better go out for breakfast” and go! I might add “oooh - Fred will need you guys to help look after Little Susie whilst he packs up - oooh - and don’t forget all toilets need cleaning before we leave”. And then I would go and find myself a nice cafe and eat Very Very Slowly.

Next time don’t leave it a free for all and give everyone equal amounts

I'd have stabbed my fork in it and dragged it back while saying thanks for keeping it warm.
Same with the toast.

I'd have said, 'Where's MY breakfast?' and forced them into an explanation. And I'd have expected Mum or Dad of greedy 16 yo to nip out to the nearest shop and buy bread for toast at the least.

I'd have been very annoyed. And made them aware of it.

Let it go. We've all made mistakes.
Hope your holiday was good

Let it go. Next time, food guard beat the teenager to the food!

Were they like this about food for the whole holiday?

Did the group know the potato cake was just for you?

if not, YABU.

What a crap way to have to exist. I have never been in this situation. Courtesy and thoughtfulness surely exist between friends of not wider society.

YANBU, but...knowing that there was only a couple of things left that you could eat, you should have made up your own plate before you started farting about making coffee for everyone. It's totally fine to say, "There's not much meat free stuff left so I'm just going to put some things aside for myself so I don't come back to find there's only bacon left to eat, if that's alright!"

Well generally running out of food is considered a cardinal sin on the part of the cook on mn, especially when it comes to greedy teens who must be allowed to eat their fill lest they succumb to something or cut off their controlling parents forever.

But obviously yanbu and it was very bad manners for the others not to be aware of those who haven't eaten yet when helping themselves from communal serving dishes. Bunch of pigs.

In future they can make their own bloody coffee.

I would have served up my own breakfast on my own plate prior, knowing there was so little of my own food left. It was obvious what was going to happen, especially in a communal free for all.

But it's reality. People don't get it if you have special needs foods and take whatever is around if not boxed, labelled and put away.

Of course my husband/children and good friends respect my food.

But. I would never count on a not close related teen not to think "oh that's nice food for me" and just not realising it means no food for me..

What would I do? Personally?
Id have kicked off 🤣 royally.
Nobody touches my food without a fight

Also, I know you shouldn't have to, but if the potato cake was still uneaten you could have just said, "Oi, that's mine!" and forked it off his plate. Why didn't you? Same with the toast. Say to the room at large, "Hey, you greedy buggers, you haven't left me any toast. Would someone who has two pieces of toast on their plate like to volunteer to donate one before I choose the person I like the least to be my victim?"

Unless the food has actually already been eaten, it's not too late to stand up for yourself. I don't understand how you could just accept your ration of a spoonful of beans when the food is still right there.
