Are these people rude?

[ruffledfeathers]

That's a shame. I can only 'get' this type of thing from someone really young who doesn't realize yet how things really work. But yeah, i have been invited to a steakhouse and i'm a vegetarian and just smiled and said "SURE! i'm sure they have great side dishes!" (they did--actually made me this excellent vegetable risotto and were happy to do so).

If he doesn't like the restaurant he should've stayed home. Or he could have atleast went and pretended to like it. But if your aunt thinks it's no big deal then I suppose it's no big deal.

 

[Blancaej]

I'm glad your Aunt had a good time but he was being totally rude. Sounds like a spoiled brat to me!

 

[GaryBV]

I actually feel sorry for him, he will have a very rude awakening when his mum passes, and he's totally on his own with no safety net.

 

[Featheredsamurai]

Jeez, how rude of him! I can't believe he did that with the soup D:

Have to wonder how badly he was raised, normal people aren't like that....

i don't...

I'd actually like to slap him and tell him to grow his a$$ up...

You're way too old to still be living at home!!!

He freeloads like that because no one calls him on his b.s...

He freeloads like that because no one calls him on his b.s...

and because he's been raised to think that the world revolves around him. Why did his mother ask to change the venue? I'd have told him where to get off. He didn't get like that for no reason. I agree that his mother hasn't done him any favours.

 

[WannaBeAParrot]

You guys don't even know him, but you sure got his number !!!

If it was my son, I would have said, "if you don't like the restaurant, stay home. Be grateful neither one of us has to cook."

Young adults today are ungrateful for the many things people do for them. I know, I brought 3 into the world and 2 of them are still living here. lol.

 

[strudel]

Yes, that's what you'd expect the mum to do. This guy isn't even a "young adult". 30 years old is a grown man. Why couldn't he ring up himself, what's his mum doing treating him like a 7-year-old? (Lots of incredulous head-shaking going on here )

 

[SpotsandSally]

That soup thing is... Weird. I've never gotten food just to take it home - I always eat it, and take the left overs home.
I've been invited to places I don't like, and usually order something small (or say I'm not really hungry and order nothing) then pick up something else, or just eat before I go.
I suppose its one thing if its just 2 friends who are like
"Oh hey you want to go eat at xxx tonight?"
"Eh, could we get yyy instead?"

Ya know, where its equal and they decide together. But where it's a family grouping and everyone is ok with the place... That's spoiled brat there.

Actually, my father is like that, and refuses to eat at many restaurants we want to all go to. We give in to him because he's pretty old. He's also incredibly picky. For example, on Thanksgiving, I have to set aside and prepare special food for him because he won't eat turkey or what everyone else is eating. Some people are just like that I guess.

 

[strudel]

I'm a picky eater, but I don't dictate to people when they issue an invitation. Either accept, or don't go. I used to be a vegetarian and I could still participate in group outings, even though I'd often not get anything much to eat when it was shared dishes. You just suck it up and keep your mouth shut.
