People taking food – especially chips (french fries for the yanks) – off of my plate without asking or being offered first.
Drives me round the bend I tell you.
This stems from family meals out to the Spur or Mike’s Kitchen as a kid. There I am, having ordered my delicious little chicken nuggets and chips when the Prince of Darkness, aka my brother, would come along and snipe chips off my plate. Just grab them. Precious chips that would never be returned again.
It was an issue.
It’s not like I don’t want to share, I will if you ask…you just have to ask. Although even then, I won’t be happy about it. It’s best to wait till you’re offered really…
And why don’t you people ever order chips? You always have your meal and order a salad or a baked potato instead of chips and then you always always always, without fail, want mine. Irks me man.
And you don’t want to get between me and potato. Potatoes to me are like…if I was a member of a secluded amazonian tribe of people and found one…I would worship it.
Don’t take the chips…without asking.
I’m not alone in this either, my encyclopedia of useless information – I do actually have one, I’m not lying – stated that the stealing of chips from other people’s plates is the top reason for arguments being started when eating out.
Tis True.

I am totally with you on this one. I don’t mind sharing most things, but chips! Those are mine!
They never give you enough in the first place, never mind other people stealing them.
I thought thigh burn from facial stubble was the main cause of arguments being started when eating out…
I’m not a great chip lover, so you can have mine but other than that… just don’t ouch my plate! Especially if there is dessert involved!
touch… not ouch – Freudian slip?
B – I love that I can now tell the Boyf that I’m not insane. You’re worse
I actually completely understand where you’re coming from – I’m so happy.
Po – Exactly, there’s never ever enough!
6k – You know what surveys are like…they poll for the results they want to get. I’m sure your cause is far more likely.
DelBoy – Stealing dessert is dangerous territory. That’s an automatic hand slap!
