Jeez, talk about what was supposed to be a fun dinner party going off the rails!
That’s not a sentence you hear very often, huh…?
But it happened to the guy in this story, and now he wants to know if he handled this tricky situation correctly.
Hang on tight, friends!
This is a real doozy!
Read on, and see what you think.
AITA for offering a frozen dinner to an uninvited guest at a dinner party?
“A couple times a year I like to throw a nice dinner party for old friends.
This time I invited 5 people. 2 were couples and one was single.
We have all known each other for around 15 years and get together maybe every 3 months.
I was making filet mignon and a small lobster tail with 2 sides. I spent over $300 and didn’t buy extra because they are served one each per guest and are expensive.
Oh, boy…
As a surprise to me, the single guest brought along his new girlfriend who I had not met or known about.
I was nice about it but upset because I only purchased enough meat and lobster tail for the guest who were invited.
I talked to the friend who brought the uninvited guest and said that I didn’t have extra food and the filet mignon (cooked to individual doneness) and lobster tail isn’t something that can be cut up and divided or spread out between more people.
This is kind of hilarious.
I said that I had frozen pizza or another frozen dinner I could heat up.
He was very upset with me and accused me of not liking his new girlfriend and trying to embarrass them.
After his outburst, they left.
Was I wrong? Should I have cut up the filet and lobster tails and spread it out between and extra person instead of offering a frozen meal?”
Now let’s see what folks had to say about this on Reddit.
