I'm kind of glad you said something to piggy man. Clearly, he didn't 'get' it but oh well.

Going in, it's probably hard to imagine that there will be some who will hog all the food but I guess that's the way it is and one has to be able to get in there or lose out. I wonder what if there were some who were disabled and had to wait it out.

honestly, some behavior anymore doesn't surprise me. My husband goes to a yearly pig roast. I always send the same dish and it is usually gone. This year, I sent it in 2 deep dish throw -away pans instead of one roaster pan. The host took one and put it in the fridge for tomorrow lol.

It's a pot luck. What did you expect. DH will not eat at pot lucks because he worries about food handling.

I share your husband's worries where potlucks/buffets are concerned, I'd rather prepare a meal at home.

Because they are entitled to go back many times. Isn't that what our country is all about now? Must be those spoiled baby boomers that raised those spoiled kids that I taught. No one calls them on their bad behavior.

I agree with the lady who made the mac and cheese. Reading your response it sounds like the rest of you agree with the greedy. If she had spoken up and "embarrassed" the greedy she would have been critized for doing that. Some people who look healthy have back and knee problems and can not stand in line for long. Maybe she could not stand long. I hate to say it but the USA is full of greedy people. Just watch and listen to the news every day. Watch what is going on when you are out Christmas shopping now. I had a swaeter grabbed from my hands. When I told the woman I was going to purchase it she said "Not now. It's mine." I chose not to fight and not make a scene but many others saw and heard her. We all need to stop and take a look at the way in which we are raising our children. Maybe we can raise a future generation who really cares for those other than themselves.

I wouldn't have said anything.

How long were you sitting there waiting to get food? If people had already been back 2 or 3 times, it had to be a long time.

while it was inconsiderate of people to eat so much it was at least a testament to good food.You should have returned to the line sooner than you did when you saw the size of the portions going by.I am sure that nobody noticed that you didn't get your food or thought that you didn't want to eat since you sat do long that people had time to go for third helpings.I think it was unfair that you missed dinner but in this country nobody starves.

It sounds like the potluck maybe wasn't organized well enough to provide ample food for the number of diners.

I would have been so embarrassed if that was my husband going for 3 helpings on anything whether there was plenty or not. What a piggy.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

Really??

In all honesty, I believe the rudeness started with you. You don't bash someone that is complimenting you on your food. You should have just said "Thank You, I am glad you liked it." Instead you chose to embarrass the man. Next time make an adequate amount to feed everyone and expect people to take seconds and thirds.
