FabSwingers.com forum: What do you do when...

By (user no longer on site) OP

So, someone gives you food while at work. You don't like said food and you say, thanks but no thanks. But the person doesn't listen and insists on you taking it.

What do you do the next day when they ask you how the food was?

What's your strategy? Are you honest and say you didn't eat it, or do you lie and say it was good? Or do you never take the food to begin with even though they insisted?

Don't take the food to begin with if it's something i know i won't eat. If it's going to cause offence, I'd rather offend them at that point than have to worry about it and potentially ending up offending them anyway.

Yeah.... I told the person I didn't like the food, but thanks anyway. Then when I came back from work the food was at my desk.

What food?

I'd just say no thanks I won't eat it. If they kept insisting I'd think it was poisoned.

Give it your boss.

If someone kept insisting when I'd said "no thank you" I'd just find that very rude.

Like Scarlet said, just say you're allergic.

Or maybe its just that you dont like the idea of not knowing what your eating . Id be honest . I dont eat anything unless iv seen it being prepared unless its take away resteraunt etc etc .

I once got a special curry delivered from a take away and to my horror there was a whole chickens neck in it haha . I rang up complained . Pulled the neck out and down the hatch it went . The neck went in the bin . Cant imagine anyone wanting to eat a chickens neck lol

Of the two people in this situation it isn't you who's rude.

The lady next door came round with two bags of dried cat food from her ex cat. Mr N politely declined telling her ours wouldn't eat it and it would go to waste, she was obviously offended. People can be very odd...except me

There are few people I eat from. There's one in particular who is always bringing things she's made in. As I've yet to witness the dirty cow wash her hands after going to the loo I'd not eat from her!

I'm an adult, if I don't want something I say so. I'm not nasty, just say thanks but I don't like it.

I take stuff to work quite often that's been baked by my mum who is an ex chef but I put it on the kitchen counter for people to help themselves if they don't want it that's fine I wouldn't force anyone. If it doesn't get eaten it gets put out in the rubbish. No need to force it on people that's just rude.

Why should you feel awful, the guy who gave you the food was being a prat, it's rude to force it on you when you told him no. I would've waited until he was watching and then thrown it in the bin at work.

I'd have never taken it in the first place. I've done similar in the past. Sounds like you had no choice though.

I wouldn't say anything to the person. Wait to see if they mention it. If they do then just lie. Say you're not a huge fan of mince pies but Marc loved them
