i'm not sure why people find it necessary to touch other people's plates. my plate is my plate & your plate is your plate. if you need more food or you don't like what's on your plate, then please take care of it by serving yourself more food, ask to be served more food, order more food, or put your dish in the sink. dag-nabbit! my first rude awakening to the irritating epidemic was when i was dating my best friend (that didn't sound very good). anyway, she thought it would be cool to take a drink off my soda. whoa!!!! "what the heck are you doing, woman"? now we're stuck in the discomfort of not being all luvy-duvy & pretend it didn't happen. oh, but more happens as the dating continues. it's not only my soda that gets attention, but somebody thinks they can grab fries off my plate. you know, thats where i draw the line!!! don't touch my drink & don't touch my plate. it's a very simple rule, until you realize that what you're eating appears to be what others want after watching you eat for a little while. "that looks good, i'm out of soda, i should have gotten that". well wah, wah. DON'T TOUCH MY PLATE!!! i don't touch your plate, so don't touch mine. it's pretty clear, isn't it? apparently there's a gene passed from mom to daughter(s) that tells them that they have free license to touch dad's drink & plate. best friend & kids are pretty trained by now on not touching my plate. it took a few times to get this across.
well, my best friend & i share a soda now to keep costs down @ eating joints. i've given in on the sharing a soda thingy, but dag-nabbit/sassin'-frassin'/frickin'-frackin'/cotton-pickin' DON'T TOUCH MY PLATE!!!
p.s. this hasn't happened in quite some time, because i get scary when people touch my plate. just look @ the pic. consider yourself warned. :>0

i am with you. lolita likes to know what i'm ordering at a restaurant so she can order something different. why? so she can try some of both. it pisses me off. if you want to eat it, order it. leave my plate alone ... AARGGH!!
I can only imagine how many people are going to be checking out your plate next Sunday at cafe. (Now that you've told everyone what bugs you) :)
i'm with georgia! watch your plate on sunday!! ;)
see...I like eating off other peoples plates...especailly during cafe time at church...I don't want to stand in the line or even get a little plate, so I like to just take food off the plate of whoever I'm talking to...usually if I'm at a resturant or something and I wanna try someones food, I usually ask...but sometimes I don't...get over it
don't mind people eatin off my plate, that's my diet around these parts!!!
do you guys really wanna chance an attack by the pitbull on sun.? you may wanna re-think that one.
noel, i'm with you! my two year old likes to eat off my plate - i always say, 'he's helping me with my diet'! :)
two things. first, i ate french fries from your "plate" on sunday at burger king. you did not turn into a pitt bull. you said, here have some more. second, steve & i always order different food so we can share. but we love each other. you guys are just selfish.
I only eat off my own plate, but the problem is I have a split personality and only one of them doesn't mind so it gets kinda confusing like this comment, and I never know when I'm going to make myself angry when I eat.
integrate my friend, just integrate!
ok...I'll try to help you out here. You can do one of two things. You can pre-chew your food (mastication generally deters discriminating plate pickers), or you can simply start eating healthy food that none of your friends or family will touch (a much stronger deterrent).
