AIBU: to expect that if you have spent 2 hours cooking someone a farking lovely chrismas dinner they hould at least wait till you sit down at the table before they start eating?

Not talking about a starving toddler here, but my mum's "friend" [in a relationship for about 10 years], who is 63 and in possession of most faculties and who had scoffed half a dozen mince pies not an hour before.

DH and I were just doing a few bits to the main course when "friend" sat down and started eating the starter before we even made it into the dining room!

oh man, that's awful - are you ok?

did they save you a plateful?

How rude. That is one of my pet hates. I hope you gave her the 'evils' when you came in.

Sort of thought it was funny in a way - last year he made himself a slice of toast whilst we were making the gravy - but it is rude isn't it?

YANBU. What a rude man!

Yes did you give him evil looks when you went into the dining room?

Kind of behaviour I might excuse in a teenage brother but not anyone not in your immediate family!
