How rude and Selfish Is This?!?!?!?

[disneymom3]

little did he know it was probably covered with windex.

Whoa. are you serious? Do stores do that? What is the point? There have to be animals at the very least that this would endanger. Not to mention homeless people. Why would the store care if someone took it if they were just throwing it away?

Why is food so often an issue in your home? Surely even you must realize that's a bit strange.

Look, my parents made the rules with the food, I buy my own, they buy their own. I realize it might be considered strange by some, but that's just always how it's been at my house. That has nothing to do with someone taking food away from the poor though.

What I honestly don't understand is why you were hesitant to say how you found out about the stealing. At this point it doesn't matter, but are there that many people doing the same exact thing that would know who you are talking about, or who you are, ONLY by the method with which you found it out? Not a chance.

 

[TCPluto]

All I can say is boy do you have drama in your life.

I don't know any of the people that you have posted about in just the last week.

And most often revolves around misapropriated food...

 

[mickeyfan2]

I didn't say that, other people did.

And you did not say it was not. If it your boyfriend, so not really related to you but almost related to you?

I know because I know. What difference does it make how I found out?

It makes a HUGE difference. If you found out first-hand -- you actually saw her take the food and keep it -- that's one thing. If you heard about it from someone else, then I'd hope that you would find out if it's actually true or not before decrying this person as selfish and, in effect, a thief.

"I know because I know" doesn't mean anything. It means you're continuing a rumor that may or may not be true.

No, I know it is true.

Okay, first of all he is my fiance, not my boyfriend, and he would never do something like that!

No, I know it is true.

Well then, I assume it is you....and your headline was meant to be "How is this rude and selfish?"

Congrats! When is the big date?

So you're implying that I steal?!?!? I am one of the people that donates food!

 

[disneyfav4ever]

We haven't set one yet, DF has been really sick lately, and that's an understatement. As soon as he feels better, he is having major health problems, we are going to move in together, and then we're going to start planning.

 

[WDSearcher]

No, I know it is true.

How? I'd have to agree that your unwillingness to simply say how you know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that it's true is very suspicious.

If you saw her, then I would hope that you would say something to her. Or, at the very least, to the people who are giving her food so that they understand where their donations might be going. If you were watching her do this but didn't say anything, then you haven't helped the situation.

If you didn't see her, but heard about it from someone else -- even if it's someone you trust implicitly -- then you're still just propogating a rumor.

If you were here just to vent, then okay. It's a vent.

Sadly, it does not seem to matter how many people explain this idea. All we are going to get is the same deal "I know because I know." For me, I can give no advice unless I know how the information was found out. Did the OP actually see it happening and watch the goods being put in the persons cupboard--which would offer a way to say, "You know, the other day at your house......" or was it that someone else told her in which case the conversation could be "I'm concerned because I have been told...." All kinds of options abound but you have to really want help to get it.

ETA--WDSearcher--we were obviously posting at exactly the same time and basically had the same thought. How weird is that?

 

[mickeyfan2]

Do we get 21 guess at who it is?

1) Fiance - NO
2) You - No


My next guess is

3) Your Mom

 

[Orange County Girl]

So it's your Mom, right? If not, you would have called them your "co-worker' or "friend", since you know firsthand.

 

[disneyfav4ever]

You know what's ironic. If I were to come on here, and say one of my parents were taking food from donations, I'd be getting flamed for saying something about it. But since you all are assuming it's her that's okay?

 

[singingpixie]

My ex's mom used to do this- she'd pick up from the bakery at the local grocery store, go through their donations and pull what they want, and then donate the rest. It just seemed trashy to me.

Not from me. Eating your left overs is not in the same ballpark as stealing from the less fortunate. You are their daughter and live in their house (paying rent does not change this). Family members share food.

Great minds think alike!
