Reply to comment by joemc04 in LPT: When bringing a dessert to a function, cut a small slice off before you put it out. by arkobsessed

Man. I was taught to be polite/generous and serve everyone else first. Used to love doing it because theres always more than enough, and it works very well when everyone else makes sure you also eat. Made the mistake of doing that for other kids at summer camp, every kid got served their first slice, grabbed second and THIRD slices, and by the time I got around to myself, there wasn't a first slice for me.

Went to the next meal, stood up, and instead of asking everyone else for their plates like I usually do, served myself up a huge plate and sat my ass down while everyone called me rude.

Naw bitch. Nowadays I'm making my plate first.

Who doesn’t use a “don’t get seconds until everybody has had firsts” rule?

Savages. It was the rule, but they definitely enjoyed their thirds. They thought I served myself first "like normal people".

And as a child the same age as the other campers at the table (or younger!) I couldn't exactly tell them off or enforce the rule.
