Its a really annoying female habit - just get your own chips you silly cow! they arent mysteriously calorie free because they come from my plate! :mad:

That one where you refuse a cigarette of your won but want to smoke most of mine is fucking annoying as well! :mad:
 
I dont mind sharing my food, but I hate it when people invade my plate. My plate is my personal space... like my ringpiece. You wouldn't just go up to someone and stick your finger in their ringpiece would you.

It's the same female reasoning that says hundreds of quid spent in the Sales 'doesn't count' because they were bargains . . . :hmm:
 
Who can just have a chip or two though??

I mean, we're not talking chocolate or anything like that... This is chips! -Serious business!
 
As I posted on the similar "pudding" thread I nick things of my husband's plate even when I have ordered my own chips, pudding, veg, cheese, pastry whatever.

I am just a food loving fat bastard essentially :D
 
yup I steal chips am bad for it....get really f*ed off though when people do the same to me....have to hide my resentment as I know that I cannot complain as i steal more than are stole....just grit my teeth and go red with fury whilst trying to act non plussed:)
 
It annoys me that I've occasionally had to order two portions of chips when in a pub, because other people steal so many of mine that I don't get enough to fill up - quite often you'll end up with significantly less than half the portion. If I ordered, say, a jacket potato, would anyone pick up a fork and dig in? No. But chips are seen as fair game. However, they're also often the only thing on the menu that I can eat (no meat or wheat), and it's usually my blooming dinner after working so long that all I've eaten that day is an apple, and it's not like I have lots of money. >:(

Nowadays, if I do find myself in the position of eating at a pub, I either ask people not to nick too many (if I know them well enough), or hide somewhere to eat them. Daft thing to have to do.

Nah, my good mates won't nick the majority of my dinner. It's when there are lots of acquaintances around that I know they'll take too much of the food. Mind you, I've only actually stood at the bar and eaten once, after seeing a crowd descend like gannets and leave the person who bought the chips with about two for themselves.
 
i always steal chips. it's, like, the law or something, isn't it?? :confused:

the other half won't share his portion with me (fnarr). he always makes us get two smalls instead of one large. then we feel sick and can't finish said chips. but he just hates sharing his chips. the freak.
 
you should never, repeat never, come between a man and his chips. stone cold straight-up wrong.

and if you're in the cafe and your missus gets more chips than you, she should, without comment, give you the excess, until you clearly have the biggest portion of chips.

i *heart* chips :)

Imagining this scenario has almost made me wee myself!

:D:D
 
h actually said to me the other day, "i'm getting better at sharing food". after he'd given me like a mouthful of beans on toast or whatever! like he'd been really noticing how much food he'd been sharing with me, or something! :confused: :D

What, littler than you so you can bully them? :p





Women can rarely eat a fish/sausage/pie AND a whole portion of chips (and those that can and do manage on a regular basis tend not to be so good at attracting boyfriends to steal 2 or 3 chips from - it's a vicious circle :( ). So they assume no one can and can't see how you miserable fucks would miss a paltry chip or 3 out of a whole enormous bag. And wonder why you would want them to eat a whole bag of chips when this will just make them fat and start asking you if their bum looks big, and it's not like you want that either is it? And (!!) maybe you don't need a whole bag of chips, lardarse, maybe she's saving you from yourself? huh? Thought about that? No. :mad:

Chips is a feminist issue. :)

Being a good provider for your woman obviously means giving her free dibs of your chips.

Men who fail to grasp this are not real men, clearly.

Nope, sorry, you misunderstand. Real men need the energy, sustenance and sheer physical power provided by that most perfect of foods, the humble chip.

On all other issues, sharing of resources and provisions is the accepted, and indeed preferred option for any progressive and right-minded man.

But never when chips are concerned. Its heresy. Worse, its against what nature intended. Your eternal soul is in mortal danger if you nick my chips.

Amen :)
 
At risk of a stoning, I think mayonaisse is an acceptable chip condiment.

Gravy can also be nice, just not in combo with the mayo

Your chips will always be safe around most. :)

Urgh! I bet you're one of those people who smoke menthols for the exact same reason! :mad:

I have tried. I can hack menthols, but a weed/menthol tobbaco joint is so vile I went back to baccy:o
