While hosting a dinner for friends, this woman accidentally confused everyone in attendance with her strange payment policy . The OP of this story, r/Pinkishrabbit, was so befuddled that they wrote to r/etiquette to figure out what was actually going on. As the OP tells it, they went for a dinner at a pal's house along with two other mutual friends. They had a nice time, until the next day, when the two friends began texting the OP that the host had asked them for money . Sure enough, the host…

This dude ducked out of a dinner party early, making his friends absolutely furious. Some people will always take advantage of your generosity! In this post to r/AmItheA******, u/OldAbbreviations6423 had a pressing question regarding his current friend group. The OP is in the awkward position of being one of the higher earners in their friend group, so they've kindly covered tips in the past while the group was out dining. But the OP noticed an interesting pattern of their friends over ordering…

Cooking is such a personal thing, especially when you're cooking nice warm meals for the family you love. You have to take the time to look up a recipe, write down all those ingredients, shop, chop it all up, and stand at the stove stirring everything together. The best part is when the meal turns out beautifully and you get to serve it to your hungry spouse , relatives, or kids. Of course, there are many differences between families and between how they share their meals together. Some people…

On r/Cooking, one OP asked, “What's your stupidest cooking opinion so we can all fight about it?” Sure enough, people had plenty of spicy opinions on every food from green onions to grilled cheese.

While eating at restaurants, do you tip your waitstaff some of the time, all the time, or never? While the standards differ between countries and states, in America, tipping is just the way of life. Most waiters have to survive off tips, and they can rake in the cash if they get a busy shift full of generous diners. But one person had a question for the Redditors of r/TalesFromYourServer: “For American Servers - what bulls*** would stop today if you didn't work for tips? As in, you're paid a co…

When you're a child, you have to eat what adults give you, since you don't have much of a choice in the matter.

Everyone has bizarre food preferences, but some of these are truly shocking.

There are few joys in life, like spending time with your family, but perhaps the exception is cooking with your family members. The kitchen can get way too crowded, even with just one extra person poking around. As one Redditor , u/RioA, posted on the r/Cooking subreddit, they were dealing with their mom rushing a chicken dish , and turning up the heat to get it to cook faster. Once you're done rolling your eyes at that line of logic, you'll see that the poster asked if anyone else could commis…

These diners got way more than they bargained for after going to certain fancy-pants restaurants! Clearly, restaurants see the trend of photographing your dinner , and want to make people's meals as photogenic as possible. They've really come up with some, um, interesting ways of displaying their meals. Would you still eat your meal if it came in a slipper, though? Could you “do it for the 'gram," as they say? These diners are brave for eating off these weirdo serving trays, from clipboards to…

Luxuriously self-indulgent people can have high expectations.

Would you attend this controversial family Thanksgiving meal?

Some people have wacky family traditions...

When you're organizing a fancy dinner party and cooking expensive meat, you should be the one calling the shots for the guests — not the other way around. This type of conflict happened to Redditor u/Kitchen-Vegetable734, who posted a story about how their friend enlisted them to roast a fancy Beef Wellington dinner for a group of friends on Reddit's popular moral judgment community r/AmITheAsshole . When an additional friend was added to the guest list, they requested that the beef be roasted…

Tough luck, Sally.

What a meal.

It's always the in-laws.
