To think eyeing up people's food is beyond rude?

[ButteredRadishes]

My uncle will hoover his lunch and then stare at your plate like a hawk, and say stuff like "are you going to eat that roast potato?" Or he'll be looking at your packet of crisps and say "they look nice....". All the time eyeballs on the packet.

He actually made his 6 year old son cry at lunch on Sunday, we were out for a roast,and nephew was taking his toe , went to the loo,and whilst he was gone took his Yorkshire pudding (yes, I questioned it before he ate it and uncles response was "well, he's taking too long" and then he ate it. Nephew came back and was understandably upset.

it's fucking rude. Yes?

I would of murdered the uncle on the spot, but then im seriously pissed off at my husband right now as we are on our last day in milton keynes and were to go to wolverton house for a carvery and he isn't feeling well, im so sad and I can't even find anywhere on deliveroo that can deliver me one. Gutted to say the least. 😔

That's horrible behaviour, eyeing up other people's food or pestering for it is rude but stealing food of a child's plate it really really despicable.
Next time you all go out especially if it's a big get together I'd be very tempted to wait untill everyone has finished eating then scrape any leftovers on to his plate , bones , gristle, lumpy mash , cold veg, salad, curry the whole fecking lot, and it would be dumped on his plate with no attempt to 'arrange' it

Next time book some where that is All you can Eat. Or a carvery with unlimited veg.
I bet he hoovers up everything.
I hate behaviour like his. It gives me the rage when someone asks for a crisp,takes a handful ,then laughs.

Just go yourself, I love eating in peace!

Fork stabbing is a thing.

Your uncle is a nasty greedy fuckwit stealing a kid's dessert. I wouldn't sit by for that.

I'd go on my own 🤣

Exactly this! He's a greedy obnoxious nitwit and would have deserved a good fork stabbing in the back of the hand. Why on earth did you let him steal a child's food? Everyone knows that a good Yorkshire is the best part of a roast dinner.

I was seriously thinking about it, but I dont want to look like a greedy bastard myself 🤣

I was thinking that but I really dont want to look like a greedy bastard myself with my massive roast and then apple crumble 🤣

Call him a fat, greedy cunt next time.

In both big toes and knees and all the fiery pain that goes with it 😫

What a pig!

@ButteredRadishes Your uncle sounds like a repellant, vulgar individual ... I am picturing a 'Lee Anderson' type man 💩

I didn't "let him" I did object and he didn't give a shit and ate it.

Yes. Awful.

If somebody ate my Yorkie while I was in the loo they'd be leaving the restaurant with a fork in the back of their hand.

Not the point of the thread but if he's your uncle and it was his son then the child is your cousin not your nephew.

Yeh that’s horrible

Thats horrible.

Was the boys mother there?

Gluttony is repulsive but to steal food from a child is just plain nasty.

I would refuse to ever eat food with him again and refer to him as Uncle Creosote.

This would do my fucking head in! I can't stand people like that!

Where was the boy's mother in this? Why didn't she stop him?

Quite right. But he's 6 and I'm 45, and my uncle is 42. I see him as my nephew, he calls me aunty radish. Sorry.

She did say something,but it was ignored. She gave him her Yorkshire.

My 7 year old would be upset too. The whole taking people’s food is off.

That isn’t normal behaviour at all!
