Mildly Infuriating

You needed to invite a lot more people and at least a few people who didn’t like wrestling.

Looks like a tasty spread. Aside from other comments on why people may have not partaken, I didn't see this: health. Id love to chow down on this but couldn't because of forming health conditions and weight, and that is becoming a lot more common. Every item here has a high fat content which you need to avoid if you have high cholesterol/ is high calorie which you need to avoid if trying to lose weight

Shit. Can you invite me next time?

It happens my dude. I have hosted a lot of parties and we used to do a 3-4 day campout with about 20-50 people depending on the year. Some years we would go though almost all the food other years I came back with 40 lbs of pulled pork that I smoked out of the 60 lbs I made. Next year ran out of it 2 days into the 4 day camp out

🔛🔛

Seriously, some solid snack game there, they fucking missed out

Sorry man. Feels like 2024, no more no less. Friendship and willingness to be around people (in person) is an old fart thing. Nowadays I only invite or make plans with my really close friends. Friends that are more family than friends.

Those casual friends we used to have are gone for good between laziness and socializing on-line, whatever that is.

If you were my neighbor and invited me I would've totally attended and decimated those delicious quesitos!

This is so strange to me. I hear stories like this all the time but I have hard time understanding who would not show up or not eat the food that was obviously for the party.

Did they know there would be food beforehand? Could they have eaten before because they thought there wouldn't be anything at the party? What about the other 2 people? Did they tell you they were not coming or did they say they were coming and then just didn't show up? Did they say why they didn't show up?

Is that a tip jar on the table? Even if not, just the association is enough for people to feel like they have to contribute financially for the food. While that isn't an outrageous thought, for people who are tight on their finances, it might be an uncomfortable situation where they'd rather skip on the food than take it and not pay a share.

So I guess the little balls are the pretzels? Never seen them in that shape, looks yummy just like everything else there, sorry to hear about your disappointment.

Has anybody done a reverse image search be sure this is real?

Some people simply don't know how to be good friends. You really shouldn't take it personal

I've just had to learn my closest friends simply aren't capable of providing emotional connection like I'd like. I'm working on becoming a better friend to them, meeting them where they are , trying to figure out how to provide for and validate my own emotional needs, so I can eventually work up the courage, or whatever it is I need, to meet friends that are more emotionally mature enough to have the real connections I'm looking for

I once delayed a party where I had tons of family over because my friends hadn't arrived. They didn't get there until like 10 or something, after I'd already told them to just fuck off. The thing is, they are my friends and they legit care about me in their own (weird to me) ways. I've just come to realize they've got legit issues, as I do (part of why we're drawn to being friends), that they're working on to varying degrees, and I simply can't expect more from them than they're capable of giving

Good luck finding a chill healthy tribe of folks that shares similar values to your own!

To be honest, a 50% attendance record sounds pretty good. I'm really sorry to hear about this though, the spread looks great, and anyone that puts a watch party on for All In is going to put on a good time.

What time was it on for you guys? I went the first year and had an amazing time, but sadly had work this year. Perhaps you should make the pilgrimage over next year for Forbidden Door?

That sucks man. You went the extra mile to be a good host, so you should be proud of that, regardless!

I don't really like wrestling but I like parties and that food that you made. Invite me next time. I'll make sure your food gets eaten.

Keep trying my friend! I would have been moved out of there with a wheelbarrow.

That sucks, but the good news is that most of that can be refrigerated so at least you can eat it.

It always sucks when this sort of thing happens. Sorry man.

chicken looks bomb lemme get that

That looks like an amazing spread for a viewing party. Next time invite me over and we'll go fuckin wild

Ugh sorry bro.

But this reminds me of that reddit post from forever ago about the same thing. Cups, drinks, food. Nobody showed

this is actually sad :(

Damn them wangs look good.....

They wouldna survived intact

Are those things in the middle at the back soft pretzels? They look like conkers (horse chestnuts), confused the hell out of me!
