Whether you had agreed to pay for it all or not...
What kind of friend lets you order food for two people knowing she might (or worse, definitely) leave before the food arrived?!
Your "friend" sounds kind of hair-brained for leaving you holding the to-go box and the check.
Just my two-cents.0 -
Wrap it in brown paper, put it in a parcel and mail it to her. :grumble:
THIS..IS..EPIC! I love t!0 -
I have a friend i love to death but does similar things we are both trying to change our lifestyles and lose some weight only this time im trying to take it very seriously and she not so much so whenever i come over this conversation happens, she says "hey wanna make a pan of brownies, they're double chocolate carmel"
and I say "nah but you can make them for you if you want i just ate"
she says "well I'm not gonna make them if your not gonna eat them too"
than i say "well i'll probably have one"
and she says "sigh never mind than "
and ultimately leaves me feeling guilty because she will not eat brownies unless i eat them therefore i am depriving us both i guess lol0 -
Yes it is ok to be pissed off but at the end of the day this is YOUR life and not hers. Yea it cost $25 but take this as a lesson in true friendship. If your friend is not eating carbs when did she order a Pizza. Its up to you what you do with the food. Have some and then chuck the rest out. The next time if she wants to cheat, let her do it and you keep true to yourself, and if she doesn't like it, then she isn't true friend I am afraid. A true friend wouldn't do this.0

No, I wouldn't be mad. You knew she would be leaving. You should have asked what time.
No-one is sabataging you. No-one is forcing you to eat it. Throw the food out, or eat it if you want it. It's your choice not anyone else's.0 -
It's always ok to be pissed if something bothers you! Im not a fan of "wrong" emotions...you feel what you feel! The question is WHY do you feel this way? I mean REALLY? Are you upset at being slighted? Are you angry she left before the food came? Are you angry she didn't help pay? Are you angry she didn't partake in the bad food choice? Do you feel a competition of a sort going on? What is the REAL issue? Is there more to the picture here? Personally I would be upset she left knowing you ordered foos...enough for both of you. THAT would really piss me off...that to me is like canceling plans midway through....kinda like going out with a girlfriend to a bar and after an hour she leaves with a guy, and you are left at the bar alone....not considerate! Now, if she's a good friend as you say, write it off...but LEARN from it. I am a person who in my past has allowed people to walk on me. Turns out I should have been angry at MYSELF for allowing it. Now, I take these situations, try to forgive and let go and learn from them, but kinda keep them written in chalk in my brain....if it happens again, I need to question the friendship. And seriously, 3 striks, you're OUT. However, I am loyal, so they gotta be pretty big strikes. This was totally inconsiderate. If she knew she was leaving, and soon, she should have let you know before ordering the food. Additionally, if you both want to get back on your diet, instead of "cheating" together, why don't you consider healthier options? Try something new together, or look up low carb recipes online and cook together....you get the idea. BTW, I have completely cut out carbs as well...only carbs I get are from produce and beans. I am not allowed (Dr Orderes to eat ANY grains...that means no cereal, pasta, rice, potatoes, bread etc., and extremely high protein (goal is 88 grams a day, I usually hit 70, lol) and Im not starving either! Meat, dairy and produce are more filling than you think! Anyway, good luck sweet cheeks! And think of the reasons WHY you are angry....not for us, but for yourself! ;-) AND one more side note, if this really isn't a good friend, you are better off hanging out alone (which isn't bad!) than being around someone who is a Fake Friend! I call 'em EFFERS....LOL!! :laugh:0

Things to do with the pizza
Put it on her doorstep, ring the bell and run away.
Make a birthday cake for her with ripped up chunks of pizza and wing meat in it.
Every time you see her again, pull a piece of that *kitten* from the freezer, thaw it out and serve it 'til it's gone.0 -
umm, yeah you're kinda overreating. From the sound of it, you're just finding a reason to complain about nothing. You're a grown up. I'm assuming that since you're old enough to type and old enough to pay for the pizza that you're atleast 14 and thats old enough to realize that its NOT ok to complain about silly little things like this. I have not read all the replies but anyways, heres some of the reasons that you shoudlnt be mad
1) Who the hell cares....its just a damn pizza...eat it, throw it (I wouldnt, such a waste but if you do, nobody will judge)
2) None of you set the time when you were gonna leave. She left before you. Woops. Either be an adult (something you seem to be having a hard time with) and ask your friend to leave you the money for the order or ask her to wait OR be a friend and pay for the whole thing
3) You 2 are friends...you're seriously having a problem over a PIZZA?!?
4) Knock on your neighbors door (somebody you've seen and said hello to) and tell them you got some food and its too much to eat and if they'd like to eat with you. There ya go! A possible new friend (or a serial killer, but adults take chances!). And for the life of you, donot ask the neighbor to cough up the money for it...be a good host0 -
I never understand the guilt of "wasting" food. You don't have to eat something you don't want.0
-
I have an idea...let's OVER ANALYZE the living crap out of this.
me and the OP have moved on. We ate the damn pizzaand then shot pool and slammed shots the rest of the afternoon.0 -
Wrap it in brown paper, put it in a parcel and mail it to her. :grumble:
Ha ha ha...love it!
Love this idea too! And then stop by her house with a cheesecake to "share" and leave before she cuts you a piece!0 -

Not worth being angry over imo. Eat it, don't eat, eat some of it and give the rest to a homeless person. :flowerforyou:0

You are doing a great job taking care of yourself. If that ever happens again, take it to a local shelter and offer it to the staff. They cannot usually give it to the clients because of the health laws. Then write it off as a tax deduction and eat something that won't make you sick.0
-
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.
This is what I think, too, but I would also be pissed off...mostly at myself and it would be a lesson learned to stay within my food goals.0 -
I wouldn't worry about just eating what you feel like and throwing the rest. There's more than one way to waste food. You can either throw it straight in the trash, or screw up your body by forcing it down without enjoyment or desire. Either way, it's not going to feed some starving kid in Africa, so my vote would be to spare yourself the misery and just throw out the additional unwanted food.0
-
I think you're making a bigger deal out of it than need be0
-
If your friend had been there, she would have eaten her share, so throw it out. Not wanting to waste food is a bad excuse for overeating.
Don't be mad at your friend. I'm sure she meant to eat when the two of you decided to order it.0 -
If you don't want the food & neither does she give it to a homeless person ! I'm sure they'd appreciate it . Just a suggestion.0
-
I'd be annoyed too, but hanging onto it (the food and the annoyance) hurts you, not her. Toss the food you don't want. Try to toss the annoyance -- hope venting here helped with that. Now move on.
She may be guilty and embarrassed too and not know how to handle it?
Anyway part of moving on is also to learn the lesson. At least with her... in the future ask about time limits, agree how much each of you is paying (split, one of you treats, separate bills?) before you order.
You did great to not eat all of it out of frustration or anger!0 -
For the food, try knocking on a few doors, preferably of neighbors you've seen around & have a "nodding acquaintanceship" with. Food in hand, explain that it's too much for you and ask if they would like it. Give first prefernce to doors with cute hunky guys living behind them , and then to places with multiple teenagers and/or starving students.
Nice suggestion! Gets rid of the food and has the potential for making friends at the same time. I ended up with some cupcakes (long story) that I didn't want to keep around and eat, so I called my neighbors and asked if they'd like them. They have small boys, and I didn't want to take over the cupcakes and make the parents look like the "bad guys" if they refused them. Luckily, they were fine with it.
