If you could choose between homemade and fresh pasta and a slice of ordinary pizza, what would you choose? 

Honestly, I feel silly even asking this question, because I cannot understand why anyone would choose the pizza, especially if the pasta cost them nothing, and it would make their friend really happy.

This question comes from this Reddit story, where a group of friends were invited to a dinner party at a couple's house. While the couple was cooking pasta for dinner, one of the friends decided they didn't want pasta, and just ordered two pizzas for the entire group. This was not only completely disrespectful but was also very wasteful as the group filled up on pizza and didn't end up eating the pasta the couple worked on. These kinds of people make you question whether it is even worth it to put in the effort in your friends, and that is simply sad…

    My girlfriend loves to host parties and especially loves to make food for everyone since she is a great cook. We are hosting a party at her family's lakehouse. She shared the plans with everyone in advance,

    could change the food for friday night from make-your-own Tacos to a Pasta dish. It was no problem since the group has lots of vegetarians and food allergies so we dont hesitate to accommodate

    anyone's dietary needs. So we go to the grocery store and spend almost $300 on food for everyone for the weekend. We arrive on friday night and while my gf is cooking dinner (the

    pizzas she should order. I reiterated that my gf is making food for everyone so we wont eat any pizza. I said one pizza should be plenty. The fact that she ordered pizza wasnt even what bothered us. But F

    still insisted on ordering TWO large pizzas and feeding everyone else pizza, basically spoiling all of my girlfriend's cooking effort and we put most of the pasta in the fridge as leftovers.

    It was annoying and felt extremely since, not only did we spend a lot of money on this food for everyone, but this was the dish that F specifically requested us to make. And then not only did she not eat

    everyone on saturday, and F decided she actually wanted burgers 1 hour before dinner, and fired up the grill and made burgers for herself and all of the other guests. Is F the ???

    okaylfg 9h ago • Not only is F the but it almost seems like she's doing this on purpose to sabotage your girlfriend. Maybe she is jealous that your gf always gets praise for cooking meals for your friends.

    MountainHawk12 OP 8h ago • I think just because the pizza was available to eat before the pasta was finished cooking. So people were arriving and immediately grabbing a slice just because it was available

    Lifeneedslubricant • 7h ago • Tell your GF to not cook another thing for any of them. F is a total AH here and is blatantly trying to cause problems. Your GF has a heart of gold, cooking multiple meals for multiple people, and F is stomping all over it.

    lovebeingan hole 7h ago • Yeah, Im pretty sure I would have thanked her for her thoughtfulness and stopped making food and allowing her to pay for it all.

    White RavenGM • 6h ago • How big were these 2 large pizzas that were delivered in under an hour to feed 14 people twice and was so bad that people reheated it the next day instead of having fresh grilled burgers with fixings?
