[Aruarian Reflection]

Let's say you're at a work break with coworkers and hanging around the vending machine buying snacks (or for you kids out there, you're at your ten minute recess). If you buy a snack that's easily shareable, like a bag of Skittles or some potato chips, it's understood that you have to offer some to your friends.

How much though?

It's a very fine line between coming off as too stingy or giving away half the snack. This sounds like something Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm should have tackled. I can't believe they missed this!

You hand them the bag and let them decide if they want to look greedy or not.

 

[aoi tsuki]

If i want to offer, i do. Otherwise i don't. If you don't have sixty-five cents for a snack, you need to kick the habit.

 

[vatstep]

No way I'm sharing snacks at work. Maybe I'm just an asshole. None of my co-workers deserve any of my hard-earned 75 cent snack.

 

[ellusions]

I just sneeze all over it.

 

[Minotauro]

I wouldn't offer. I'd wait for them to ask and then begrudgingly dole out one or two while complaining about their greediness.

 

[pjberri]

I'm sorry, but coworkers don't get shit. Friends, yes, and they can have as much as they like.

No, it isn't...

 

[GG-Duo]

up to 1/3, and never the last piece.

 

[callous]

Yeah, it really isn't. Unless you and your co-workers are female.

 

[The Faceless Master]

i share with my coworkers freely... mainly because they share freely with me too...

 

[flsh]

Here's what you do: Don't offer anything. It's like giving a part of your sandwich because everyone around you like that kind of sandwtch. If someone asks for it, give him one (Maybe more if your alone and you happen to have good relations with that person) or don't give any and say you are really hungry and will probably buy another because it's not going to satisfy your hunger.
Your only supposed to ask for someone's snack if they got it as a mistake of the machine (Which means it's not their's and makes it not as rude)

 

[DCX]

I offer only when i feel like i should. ( friends/co-workers i like ) Even then it's like maybe 8-10 Skittles One or two Starburst. Anything more than that would be if i was sick of the items and i didn't want no more and even then no more than 1/2.

"If I give one to you I have to give one to everybody."
Anyone else remember that Ruffles commercial?

 

[Deleted member 1235]

man you don't share snacks, if you do, it'll take you way longer to get fat. Hoarde it and laugh at your hungry skinny loser friends.

 

[teh_pwn]

I never ask, and always decline when offered.

 

[Cauliflower of Love]

"you want some"

'yeah sure'

"good luck"



or


"you want some"

'sure'

*pours outa few, 6-12.

'that's it?'

"nope"

*smack the shit out from their hands

 

[Brofist]

:lol at the cheap asses in here. It's a $1.00 at most for a small bag of chips, who gives a shit if you share a few.

 

[Pochacco]

I just ask my friends if they'd "like some". My friends aren't jerks and usually only take a piece or two.

 

[demi]

I'm a stingy bastard, nobody eats my food.

You can ask for some, and I'll still say no. Fuck off.

Except those I deem worthy of my chips.

What kind of chips do you prefer?

 

[demi]

I'm not picky.

I kinda steer away from the Lay's, they're so...flat.

Can I have some of your chips?

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Bingo!

The portions in the snack machine just aren't made for sharing. Now when I buy a big ass bag of chips, everybody is welcome to some. Although I have found myself offering, like if I'm the only one eating...I feel bad.

Has anybody and that ackward situation where you offer and then you don't know how much to give the person? Sometimes I hand them the bag and then they go "I don't want the whole thing." But then your left pouring out your snacks and waiting for them to get that look on their face, that "I got something for nothing, motherfucker!!!!" face.

Depends. Do you really want hepatitis?

 

[demi]

Coming from you, I think it's worth the risk.

 

[Mupepe]

I don't offer them shit. I guess that's why I was voted the most hated man at Halliburton.
