*lassos Lizz into the loop*
[long, dull story] So I am staying at a house owned by four of my friends. I brought $20+ worth of paper items, like paper towels, toilet paper, tissues, etc., and a few food items like cereal and mac n' cheese. Also, I spent a good chunk of time Friday and Saturday helping them clean and move stuff in and I offer to help all the time. Then they went and bought food for their house. So today I asked what was for dinner, and my friend starts talking about how expensive it is to feed everyone (some people ate over yesterday so this might not have been directed at me) and I made a joke about trying not to eat them out of their house (I like to eat) and she made a point of emphasizing that it is THEIR food not just hers, and I was like.... I said that. So now, as a guest, I feel kind of awkward. I have made it a point to mostly eat the food I brought, and I feel that my contributions should balance out anything I eat of theirs. I HATE money type sitations where people start nitpicking about what belongs to whom without actually drawing the line, and it would be more awkward if I ask for clarification. So I am thinking I will either have to go to the store and buy food for myself or go anorexic rather than step on anyone's toes. [/excessive rambling]
Kudos to anyone who read that whole mess lol.
