Have you ever lied to get out of eating something?

Posted by dbcurrie, June 27, 2008

You know the situation. There's something being served that you just don't like, but the hostess is brimming with joy at her creation, or she's watching everyone like a hawk to make sure they get some of the stuff. Or, it's the wicked step-mom who wants to force-feed you whatever it is she thinks you need to eat.

I really think that "No thanks, I don't care for any" is all the explanation that needs to be said, but some people won't take that for an answer. So, do you make up an allergy or a medical condition that gets you off the hook?
