    No, this is very rude. She ordered food that you didn't want, made you pay for it then bailed before it even got there. Next time you get food, you should make her pay and leave a tip.

    That is very rude! I don't think your over reacting at all! If anything, you should be mad that you wasted $25 and the fact that she left before the food arrived!

    I would not have payed for the whole thing. Made her drop half before she left and if she didn't I would have refused the food when it came but that's just me.

    Just eat the pizza, but have healthy sides with it. I'm vegetarian so I wouldn't eat the wings or know what to do with them. Have a slice for lunch and make a ton of broccoli to eat on the side or fruits or a huge salad. I hate wasting food. Even if it is bad for me like pizza or a pasta with high calorie content, I would still eat it but try to eat it with healthy sides. Personally, I can't waste food because I'll feel bad. There's starving kids out there. :(

    Also, don't hold grudges. She did a pretty crappy thing, but you don't have many friends in your town. Chalk it up to a life lesson and move on. Next time, order salads together or something more healthy or make her pay next time or split the cost in the first place. Good luck!

    If she had eaten the food, it still would have cost you the same amount. You haven't lost anything. Eat what you want and throw out the rest. Just because there is food in front of your face doesn't mean it has to go into your face.

    I agree, it may seem like a waste and hard but I've thrown away food before that I don't want and then next time you hang out just don't order that and keep what happened this time in mind. You are the one that controls what you do and eat...you can do it! Stay strong!

    It was rude to leave you stranded, for sure. If you "wasted" the extra food, it's what I would have done. I have had weak moments and bought things I shouldn't eat, then came to my senses before I ate it and threw it away. It might be wasteful, but if you don't have anyone handy to give it away to; you will feel better if you just chuck it.

    Next time you go to snacks/dinner with her, she should pay.

    No but it is not my fault either that my "friend" decided to go and stick me with the bill and a whole lot of unwanted food. So how about you get real.

    sticking the restaurant with YOUR problem or your friends is totally lame. the restaurant didnt do anything wrong.

    Honesty, I would have been upset that she left before hand and then didn't come back over the next day! But, you already paid for the food so portion it out and put it in the freezer and you'll have a few meals already saved back :)

    Freeze it and the next time she does this offer her the frozen pizza and wings. Perhaps with a comment such as "Oh I have some in the freezer from the last time we wanted pizza and wings".

    The part that would piss me off, is that she ordered it too. Then left before it was served. Why in the world would she order if she knew she wouldn't be there to eat it? I would just flat out ask her. Maybe it was as simple as she didn't know the food would take so ling, or maybe she felt remorse for ordering it.

    I think I'll be freezing it.

    To those of you suggesting I throw it out...there's two reactions I have. One is that this could be reasonable, considering the health problems associated with such food. BUT...my initial reaction is that you obviously must live in a bubble of privilege.
    I know, who am I to say this after having wasted more than $20 on ordered food which could have bought me lots of groceries for the week. But seriously, I don't see the point in throwing food out. I've never done that unless it was rotten!
    I think it's a poor person thing. I'm not poor by some standards, and some standards yes.
    But I def grew up poor and have been taught differently about wasting food.
    Then of course there is the argument that this isn't really food. True enough. But after spending the money it damn well better be,
    Forgive my rant and reaction.
    I'm a sociology grad student. So I tend to tear apart just about every argument with which I'm presented.

    Well I'd rather be lame then on a forums pissed and complaining. I will agree to disagree with your point of view.

    divide it up into small portions than freeze it. freeze the pizza slices and like 3 wings. then if there is ever an occasion where you have company and want to serve the "junk fod" you have it, and your money didnt go to waste. or if you want a treat or whatever every now and then you have it. but freezing it will keep it fresh, but also the time it takes to defrost will give you a chance to really think before you eat it. like not just plow into the pizza or wings because you have to defrost it.
