While eating out at a restaurant with a friend!! I ordered a starter. She lost the rag and said I was being extremely rude in eating a starter when she was not having one. Was I being rude. She left the table for 15 minutes went sat in the loo until I was finished.


If she had arrived at my home unexpectedly, it would have been rude to eat in front of her, unless I offered to share my meal.

Do I apologise?

Thanks to any replies.

I would say that her behaviour was very rude. No do't appologise, I would keep this friend at arms length she seems a bit unhinged.

No you weren't being rude - she was - and you've nothing to apologise for. Choose different company next time.
She is no friend. What odd behaviour.

Thanks folks. Makes me feel better.
You were not rude at all.
If you go to a restaurant, you order whatever you want, she orders whatever she wants.
If you have a starter and a main and she orders a main and a sweet then she waits as you eat your starter and you wait as she eats her sweet.
Nobody sulks in the loo .
Very childish behaviour.
If anyone is owed an apology it is you.
Of course you were not rude.
The other person was.
No need for you to apologise.
Mmmm! doesn't sound like the whole story to me.
stringfellow used to eat with his dog in his own restaurant
and when some Americans complained to the owner ( him )
he said as far as he was concerned the dog was politer than many Americans

I actually WOULD apologise - I have a sincerity problem in circumstances like these but I think I could do it - and put it down to experience and make sure when next invited your dinner diary is permanently full

//Mmmm! doesn't sound like the whole story to me.//

well yes well no - I had a lunch partner who refused a starter and I said well you are just going to have to watch me eat one ....
Your friend is both rude and extremely immature. What else does one go to a restaurant for but to have a nice meal in good company?
PP....but did he then sit on the toilet for 15mins? ^^
No Sqad I havent had anyone retreat to the toilet whilst I ate ...

I think I would make sure they had washed their hands if they did that ......
.........and left you to eat alone? The height of rudeness on her part, not yours.
yeah half way thro your starter and knock on the ladies' door and yell

wasser matter - you got guts ache or something >
-- answer removed --
To be honest if that happened to me I would have paid for my starter and left the restaurant. What did you say to her when she came back?
Maybe she had the squidges......!
I would have paid for starter and left without a word...silly woman..off the Christmas card list for sure
No you weren't rude and no you shouldn't apologise you did nothing wrong.
How very dare she! She sounds like a spoil child, she should be apologising to you. I went out with work one night, about 12 of us, and I was absolutely starving, the restaurant was so slow and when the food finally came 2 people had ordered starters so we all had to then wait for them to finish before we got our food which again was really slow coming. I could have eaten my cutlery by then!
