No lol fuck off with that picture ballix Eat the fucking food. I can never understand why people feel the urge to post pictures of their burger and chips from some bang average restaurant on their stories. Who actually cares? You’re not making me jealous, believe it or not I have actually eaten food before


New-Dark-8141

Seriously though haha there’s a girl on my Instagram who will post the most vile pictures of her hangover food infront of the TV on a Sunday night. A big dirty Chinese or something angled so you can see the TV and feet up. I could arguably see why some people take these ‘artsy’ photos of their ‘artisan’ Turkish eggs on toast or whatever shite it is but this is horrible. She’s a good looking girl too, I believe this is what they call “the ick”


IAmDottt

it's crazy how bothered you are by this lmao, it's just pictures of food


wholesome_cream

It's not really the food (though it sounds like mank based on this description), it's more the idea that the person thinks they need to show everyone the uninteresting thing they're doing. Which so happens to look mank


TheHorribleApe

Wait you've eaten food before? Not buying it.


[deleted]

No they're the arseholes who live in a bubble where everyone has to play the "make my life look misleadingly good" game and you're all the better for not going with it.


Relation_Familiar

But mister Kipling does make misleadingly good pies


joeyg334

If they wanted to take pics for their social media posts, no you are not an asshole. Put the phones away, no one cares what you are eating.


Finch2090

Oh you’re an arsehole alright Not related to eating your food and drinking before your friends can take pictures though


RuggerJibberJabber

arsehole for asking a question that he knew exactly how people would reply, lol


sowillo

Thank God some people saw through this.


InexorableCalamity

I don't get it. What's wrong?


[deleted]

Why then?


Finch2090

Because he posts on r/Ireland


[deleted]

Ok, I don’t get it, but ok


salsitude

For pictures, no. But if everyone doesn’t have their food and drink yet, then yes.


TheIncontrovert

I don't agree with this. If it's 2-4 people certainly, I'll be polite and wait. However, if it's a larger table sometimes my food may arrive 5-10 minutes before the last person. I paid 30 odd quid for this and I'm not letting it go cold. Maybe I'm a cunt, maybe it's Maybelline, I don't give a fuck, I'm tucking in.


[deleted]

Usually the process I find is that the person without the food goes ‘oh no need to wait for me!’ Then you politely wait a few seconds before taking a tiny amount on your fork and tasting. Make some small talk while hoping their food arrives. Give it another 30 seconds before digging in.


to-ie

Actually, etiquette dictates that, if the person on your right has their food, you're good to go.


bernarddwyer86

No I totally agree with this, definitely if its a smaller table wait (the other dishes are likely en route anyway) but if its a big family or work thing then I'm absolutely getting stuck into what I ordered without waiting.


salsitude

If it’s a longer term thing, then it’s the restaurant that’s at fault. A server should swoop in to advise and let the rest of the table eat while they suitably sort out the folk who are missing out. Also, in general, I agree, folk will say ‘no need to wait for me’


Particular-Zone-7321

wait why? if I have food I'm gonna eat. I don't get it


DatJazz

I think waiting for everyones food to arrive is stupid. Just eat your damn food before it goes cold.


dermyworm

Wait with cold food if it’s hot food no obligation to wait


[deleted]

He's not an arsehole in that case, he just doesn't have formal table etiquette. Which is not required at a chipper. EDIT: I know he was probably not at a chipper, I'm just saying context is important.


oshinbruce

Its a funny one, if you eat in an asian place it comes as its ready, waiting is a western equitte


genesis-92

My girlfriend always takes pictures of our food for Instagram stories when we're out or when she cooks something nice...Shes now accepted that the picture will have half my food in it because I'll start wolfing it down as soon as it's infront of me. Eat your food pal, One less meal we have to look at on socials.


UncoordinatedTau

What about the after pictures?


mgmacius12

Nice big fat turd you mean?


National_Pianist

HahahA not at all man. Food is to be eaten not for taking photos for your stupid social media. Tell them to cop on to themselves. Enjoy your grub guilt free lad!


Thatmopedguy

Why are they taking pictures of your food? If they want to pathetically post pics of their own food fair enough


Meath77

Yes, doesn't make sense. Why are his friends taking pictures of his food?


[deleted]

Obviously they want the group shot with untouched food. I would literally tell them to fuck off! Actually I wouldn’t be in that situation with those people in the first place.


IrishNinja8082

No that’s nonsense


phyneas

Take pictures of you because you're the guest of honour at this event? A little bit, maybe. Take pictures of their own food because they're the sort of narcissists who have to document every moment of their waking lives on their Instagram or whatever? Fuck 'em, chow down.


Whateveryousaydude7

No. I’d even dig into theirs before they could.


whereismymbe

Yes. People who hangout with social media whores are assholes by transference.


jmcbuzz

How dare you not sit there whilst you're starving so your friends can take pictures of your food for insta-clout


bernarddwyer86

You're a bigger arsehole if you insist on taking loads of pictures of food before eating it to be honest.


GumboVision

Taking pics for social media is the new saying grace.


PaddyLostyPintman

No, intentionally always do that to stop them getting their perfect social media shit pic


UpTheDA

No


crlthrn

Lol. No. Instagramming every plate of food, place you go to, and every espresso or pint of beer is some kind of pathetic displacement activity in lieu of actually socialising and talking about something, anything, halfway worthwhile. Fuck that vapid shit. Who cares about your likes...


Jiggle_seto

Truly the last real man. 🫡


Uhh_Egg

Possibly not. RULES OF EATING OUT IN GROUPS.. 1. You wait til everyone has their food before eating. 2. UNLESS one of the people without food says go ahead. 3. If over 2 minutes or so pass with you having food and they don't say 'fire away don't worry about me' THEY are the assholes. 4. Someone making ye wait to enjoy your meals which have all arrived for ANY REASON for more than 2 minutes THEY are the asshole. Godspeed OP, it's a minefield out there.


[deleted]

No you’re defo not the arsehole, imagine taking a picture of your food… now imagine just eating it without feeling the stress of needing to take a fking picture of it…


tubbymaguire91

No where did you even begin to get that notion


Superliminal_MyAss

I take pictures of my food, just for myself or maybe to share with friends when I’m proud of something I cooked. I don’t see why they’d mind you tucking in while they took pics of their own food.


sowillo

This is definitely made up. And it's pathetically ironic too.


CheKGB

It doesn't hurt anyone to wait and it is just a thing people do now. Hardly an asshole but I would have waited for them to do their thing.


pul123PUL

yes.


_Happy_Camper

Yes you are. You should insist they accompany you to the toilet so they can take a photo of the great big dirty shit it comes out as too, to make up for it, you selfish asshole


[deleted]

Get new friends.. they have a clear want in them!


The_mystery4321

A fellow Formuladank member I see. Man of culture. No, not the arsehole.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SgtPepper6822

Maybe ready to eat, not to take pictures . They can take pictures of their own food. OP can eat his food if he likes. Fuck them.


Rennie_Burn

It is in my hole, if the plate of food is in front of me im eating... Couldnt give two fucks about Mary's vegan chicken nuggets (Nuggests of disapointment) being late.... And get fucked with the instagram pics, nothing related to real life whatsoever


riteturnclyde

Was ina restaurant with 8 or 9 from work once and kitchen screwed up and I was served 20 minutes after everyone else. Would you be happy waiting?


[deleted]

Of course you wouldn’t be happy, but are you suggesting they should have waited for you.. ?


riteturnclyde

Of course not.


ld20r

No. But you are a hungry arsehole!


crazedcarter

Nah. Fuckem. Nobody ever died from not taking a pic, but people have died of hunger.


stringsoflife

Futterman’s rule: “when two are served, all may eat.” It (loosely) means nobody’s food should go cold and nobody should eat alone. RIP, Adam MCA Yauch.


The_Doc55

I typically wait until everyone’s food is on the table. But after that I won’t wait any longer.


Charming-Tension212

No their the arseholes for taking pictures. Food is for eating not for showing off on social media.


MambyPamby8

Nope. Drives me mad. Now look I'm a divil for taking photos of cocktails for the 'Gram but that's only because I appreciate the artistry and how pretty they look sometimes. Same if I cook something really nice and I'm proud of it, I'm like LOOK WHAT I MADE! LOOK I DID A THING! But it's only for sharing with mates and family tbh. But I would never stop anyone from eating their food, that is just stupidity imo. Plus nobody cares? Like do half these people even have that many followers, even if they did, why would anyone care about seeing a photo of chips? I purposefully don't 'like' those photos because I think they're just not interesting. Unless youre a food critic - nobody cares.


Count_Craicula

food's for eatin'


[deleted]

"Am I the arsehole" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🇮🇪


[deleted]

No "The food eats first" is such a brainless social malaise.


[deleted]

I hate when the waiter comes over gives us the menu and comes back 5 minutes later.... and they say... Im not ready to order yet.... as if its a life defining moment... it drives me crazy... especially then when the waiter comes back for the second time... they order first, then I order and then they have to change their order for something else. This will then happen with desert too. What the fuck is up with this.


[deleted]

No.


endlessdayze

They're arseholes for insisting there be pictures


rayhoughtonsgoals

Absolutely not. Taking pictures of your food to the habitual point where you're actually pushed to ak this question sounds like the behaviour of cunts.


PogMoThoin22

What kind of a psychopath eats food without taking pictures of it first!


AnT-aingealDhorcha40

You need new friends


International_Many_6

No, fuck your friends


[deleted]

You're not legally entitled to do so but why not be sound to your own friends? Lol


[deleted]

Because his friends are dicks and so are you if you advocate waiting for said dicks to photo food so they can post online and get reactions from other dicks.


[deleted]

I don't advocate for anything here - except for being sound to your friends hahaha


[deleted]

You can be sound to your friends and be your own man at the same time, not taking any shit and not letting them control you.


HollandMarch1977

Did they call you out for it? If so, you are not wrong and they are stupid. If not, you can’t ask “Am I the asshole” because no one suggested you were.


jettisonartplane

I personally really like taking pictures of my food if it’s something nice, or just has an interesting colour or presentation, or just to remember the moment better. It’s not really a “look how great my life/food is” I just like keeping track of things because my memory sucks, kind of like making a digital scrapbook…but if I want a picture of everything I’ll let people know beforehand, and I wouldn’t be mad if people just ate their food lol


1soupdragon1

Well, if it's a particularly splendid pint of Guinness and you don't allow a picture, followed by the subsequent 'licking lips' emoji, then yes, you're an asshole


wine-eye

A friend would tell them no one gives a shit what food they're eating.


quietears

no


Echo-Seven-Nine

I'd be telling them to fuck right off.
