    Were they Indian? :p

    Just asking to confirm my suspicions. For ethnic science.

    Persians. I'm persian myself.
    Ok that makes me feel better a little bit ;)

    But I have had a lot of this happen with my friends who are desi. Some of them take home big paychecks and throw the shittiest of parties. I have stopped hanging out with them. They message me and tell me how much I am missed.... if you are not putting any effort, I'm not gonna bother.

    You need to stop inviting them to your events. Cut them loose.

    See, you actually believe there are people out there like this. They actually do exist. You have to know them to know how they are.

    Hey, you don't have to convince me that some people are beyond rude. I wasn't born yesterday. But your story . . .

    A house (with a garage) that is so tiny that it cannot fit 40 invited guests? Sure, a Parisian apartment, maybe . . .

    Im not 100 percent sure but it's like a 1400 sq ft house. 2 stories.

    My house is 1441 square feet. Two stories.
    That's tons of room.
    Your story doesn't fly.
    Not all houses are made the same sweetie. Want a blue print?

    You state the obvious. Of course not all houses are made the same, sweetie.

    You provided square footage and style. Post a blue print if you want, but I still won't buy your story, that a host tells the later-arriving guests that they must sit in a cold garage.

    There's a Chinese buffet in town that puts cream puffs out on the dessert bar. Think I'll go see how many plates full of them I can eat before they tell me to save some for the other patrons.

    Everyone at this party was basically sitting. How many seats can you fit in your living room while leaving the center of the room vacant for dancing purposes? I'm sure she coulda fit 40 people inside if half the people were standing.

    40 ish guests. 30 puffs. You had about 5 but that's all you've had at this party.
    Poor people should not host parties.

    We can host parties but we make sure to have enough plastic spoons in the can of porknbeans. Geez, we know how to be classy even if we're poor, Mr. Fancypants.

    No spoons at, my poor parties; only sporks! I am unable to afford, different utensils for different types; of dishes! You must lick clean & reuse! I only host parties when it rains, nature'll provide the beverages! No cups, go outside & tilt your; neck backwards instead! No plates either, take turns eating over the kitchen sink or outdoors! Why'd I've napkins, when your wearing; a shirt? Toilet paper? You should, be wearing; underwear! No flushing the toilet, until the; waters golden because that's the only way that, I'll have a; gold toilet!

    Very rude of her to say something.

    As a host, if i planned enough for 1 per person and one person was eating them all before anyone else had a chance to get one, I would be upset. (I'm not saying you did this, but it might have been her perception). I would not have said anything to that person, but kept it in mind for the future (ie if there is a limited number of something, hand pass them, instead of putting them on a table for self service).

    Sorry you were treated rudely.

    No hand passing. She put everything in the middle and said for everyone to help themselves. I had a few and she took the plate into the kitchen. I went to get water and decided to get another one and that's when she told me to save it for other guests.

    Ah, so now she's removed the tray and put it into the kitchen, after only a few were taken?
    And you're taking food from a plate that is in her kitchen? That changes things.

    I'll also point out that if you're 21/22 and she's a 60-year-old female relative, then she might have seen you grow up. In her mind she might see you as a child. I'm not saying that absolves her of her duty to be a good host to you, but it can affect things.

    Okay, I think we beat this dead horse long enough. The consensus is the party hosts are rude. I'm officially bored in here. I'm out. *smooches* gang.

    My house is that size. That's NOT tons of room for 40 guests plus the family that lives there. That would be obnoxiously crowded and uncomfortable, especially if half of it is off limits because it's private bedrooms on the second floor. I would never host a crowd that big at my house. Sounds like a nightmare. :p

    Never said I was.

    Your kidding right? Mines 17-1800 and no way I'd ever try to stuff 40 people in it. Sheesh. 5 is too many!

    the problem is the only people you took advice from were the people who validated the way you felt. You didn't have to convince any of us at all but you opened a thread asking for opinions.

    And opinions include " I don't buy ur story". Just answer the question and bye felicia.

    Except that this particular person just basically called her a liar. There was no advice to take, so why would she? B)

    No, I'm not kidding, but my point wasn't to provide party guidelines.

    My point is that if guest #34 arrives, is the host going to choose to a) let him into the house or b) send him to the garage?

    Even a small home is big enough if the heart is big enough.

    1. Stand in a warm living room crowded with 40 people. 2. Go in the cold garage with my jacket and actually have a seat. Dos options.

    Well, no, choice 1 wouldn't have been an option because some of those 40 were in the garage, remember?

    Not sure how "scientific" that is. I think they are talking about empty square footage. According to that calculator, I should be hosting several hundred people in my 1400 square foot house. Right. It'll be standing room only - and very, VERY cozy - intimate, in fact. But it doesn't take into account that there is actual furniture in my home, too. It's not just an empty warehouse ready to be crammed full of bodies. LOL. And...half the space is bedrooms and baths. :D
