But, if asked I would never say no. In your case I'd pretend it was a communal office fridge and put your name on the box :)</p> <p>We were out with a couple once and the girl ate half her food and the rest was sitting there, the guy asked if he could try it, and she said no, it was for her lunch tomorrow. I thought that was pretty rude! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy/page/2#post-1988984 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 18:17:16 +0000 Raindrop 1988984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: @Mrs. Jump Rope: @Kimberlybee: You guys cracked me up!! Okay okay yes burritos are fair game! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy/page/2#post-1988896 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 16:50:53 +0000 .twist. 1988896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I've never heard of giant burritos. I feel so sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy/page/2#post-1988895 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 16:50:24 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1988895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kimberlybee: me too lol. We are having qdoba now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy/page/2#post-1988892 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 16:48:58 +0000 Kimberlybee 1988892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I really want a burrito now!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy/page/2#post-1988891 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 16:48:36 +0000 Kimberlybee 1988891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: LOL, you crack me up! So funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy/page/2#post-1988890 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 16:48:21 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1988890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: true BUT we ate this one place with maaaaasive burritos. I was impressed. I've never not eaten a whole burrito lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy/page/2#post-1988887 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 16:46:51 +0000 .twist. 1988887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: who leaves leftover burritos though, honestly. You don't want that shit eaten? Stuff your face dammit. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy/page/2#post-1988867 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 16:37:10 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1988867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with you. Anything made at home is ours to share and anything we boxed up from a dinner out is considered ours and isn't to share. </p> <p>Unless it's a burrito. Then that shit is fair game and it's every man for himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy/page/2#post-1988855 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 16:29:53 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1988855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always ask if there are leftovers in the fridge that my husband brought home from lunch or something. He asks if the situation is reversed. I wouldn't totally freak out if he ate my food, but if I had been planning to eat it, I'd be annoyed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy/page/2#post-1988780 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 15:30:19 +0000 BSB 1988780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with you, but I'm so used to the DH being the human garbage disposal that if it's something that he will eat, he will ask me if I'm going to eat it. I would be pissed if he ate it without asking me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy/page/2#post-1988779 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 15:29:57 +0000 littlejoy 1988779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: Haha about the germs. I would NEVER eat someone else's leftovers that they've already eaten from. And, I'm not a germaphobe ... it's just a no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy/page/2#post-1988778 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 15:29:10 +0000 littlejoy 1988778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our nanny ate a piece of cake I was saving. Didn't even ask me. I swear I opened and closed the fridge door like 3 times, thinking it would re-appear and I was missing it. So sad. </p> <p>In our house, leftovers are leftovers for everyone, unless it's leftovers I brought from an individual meal, OR A PIECE OF CAKE! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy/page/2#post-1988771 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 15:24:15 +0000 Raindrop 1988771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I totally showed my husband this thread and he laughed. :) He thought the indirect kissing and germs thing was really funny but he doesn't believe that. Haha.</p> <p>He says I still need to mark my leftovers so my BIL doesn't eat them there is nothing we can do about that. Oh well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy/page/2#post-1988750 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 15:09:05 +0000 MediaNaranja 1988750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I'm with you on this one. My restaurant leftovers are mine! Food made for dinner belongs to anyone. Sometimes if I'm feeling nice I'll tell DH to finish my leftovers if it is something he likes (even if I want it myself :grin: ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy/page/2#post-1988746 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 15:06:37 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1988746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm one of the few who agrees with your DH. All leftovers are fair game for whoever wants to eat them. First come, first serve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy/page/2#post-1988708 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 14:40:42 +0000 daisyfay 1988708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only leftover my husband will eat is pizza, which is coincidentally the only leftover I have zero interest in, so it's unlikely we'll ever fight over a leftover policy, LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy#post-1987601 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 21:21:58 +0000 littleblessings 1987601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be livid if someone ate my leftover meal on me. Js. My food is mine!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy#post-1987538 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 20:30:50 +0000 mrs scrapbook 1987538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually give DH my leftovers but he always asks immediately before he eats them even if I told him earlier (like at the restaurant or when I put them in the fridge). I appreciate it - leftovers are special! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy#post-1987532 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 20:26:26 +0000 Raindrop 1987532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: Oooo we don't really do cook at home individual plates... but that's an interesting point! :) Even when we have steak dinners we cook it and put in a shared plate and people pick their steaks. If they are too big (usually I do this) I cut half the steak and leave the other half on the shared plate. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy#post-1987530 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 20:24:08 +0000 Raindrop 1987530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@getjazzy: I'm going to totally use that phrase! It's a "premium leftover". :) Hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy#post-1987528 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 20:22:57 +0000 sunny 1987528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's mine if I ate off the plate at some point, home or at a restaurant. </p> <p>If it was communal with a serving spoon, anyone can eat it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy#post-1987527 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 20:21:00 +0000 Mrs. Garland 1987527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm definitely with you! If it was yours at the restaurant, it's yours at home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy#post-1987516 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 20:04:24 +0000 getjazzy 1987516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yours! Especially since food from a restaurant is a premium left over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy#post-1987494 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 19:49:52 +0000 sapphire 1987494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be ticked if he ate my leftovers! But he wouldn't, because we agree that you have to ask first about restaurant food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy#post-1987367 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 18:04:28 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1987367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What I order at a restaurant is mine at home unless I give expressed permission for someone else to consume. My husband and I are on the same page about this. But, I have tosay growing up whatever my parents ordered was up for grabs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy#post-1987357 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 17:58:39 +0000 MrsSCB 1987357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg, anyone who eats MY leftovers is in trouble! Also, my sister's BF once ate my mom's leftovers and...let's just say he'll never do that again, lol. </p> [attach=2844/14/ngp6hr.300x200.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy#post-1987350 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 17:52:07 +0000 Mommy Finger 1987350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad is just like your DH. Growing up, I had to get really creative on how I would hide my leftovers b/c he would eat everything!</p> <p>I don't usually have to worry about DH b/c he didn't really grow up with leftovers and most of my stuff is covered in cheese. He's strange and just doesn't like cheese. More for me! Except I get mad at him when he doesn't eat his leftovers and we have to throw them out. So wasteful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy#post-1987334 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 17:36:33 +0000 PurplePeony 1987334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm totally with you, except that my DH doesn't really eat leftovers. So what's mine is mine, and what's his is mine too. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leftovers-policy#post-1987331 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 17:34:06 +0000 illumina 1987331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For home cooked meals, it's usually down to the person that cooked it to decide if they want to eat it or give it to the other person. But for take out, I totally agree with you. </p>
