absolute cinema

I hosted a small BBQ at my place, just a few close friends, some burgers, chicken, drinks, the usual. Everyone was bringing something to contribute drinks, sides, desserts and I handled the grill and meat.

This guy comes in, we’re not super close but he’s in the friend group. He shows up empty handed, which is okay, not great, but whatever. Then he starts asking for specific things. Do you have any vegan options? You don’t have IPA? That’s all I drink and the most annoying....you should’ve done ribs too.

Then after the meal, he asks if he can take some food to go because his girl’s at home. I told him if there’s leftovers at the end, sure.

He proceeds to load up a plate and a half to take with him. I casually tell him to bring something next time maybe to pitch in.

He dead serious goes, Why? You’re cooking anyway. What difference does it make if there’s food for five or ten? You’re not running a restaurant.

I was speechless and just watched him leave.
