If you mean, “Am I eating that?” as in am I eating that, am I seriously eating that, as in you’re outwardly voicing strong disapproval for my order, the answer is unless I’m S’ing your D on a regular basis, don’t worry about what’s going in and out of my mouth.
And if you’re asking, “Am I eating that?” as in ‘the rest of that,’ I have to wonder if you’re inquiring because you think I’ve had enough already, or because I’m eating too slowly for your liking, or because you want what’s left of my dish. The truth is, I was considering it, finishing my food. I was considering it and I was leaning toward ‘no’ until you asked. Now I’m unsure if you think I’m a heifer, if you think I’m digesting my food at an offensively sluggish rate, or if you’re trying to finish the dinner that I’m paying for — and the mere suggestion of the first two has made me both lose my appetite and desire nothing more than to deny you my scraps. I’m just going to sit here and push my food around my plate until the check comes. Happy? —Yes, I’m Really Going to Eat This

… they just want you to share OP. Be kind.
Bad date?
ever been out with people who don’t want dessert but end up eating most of yours?
I really hope you didn’t end up S’ing the D at the end of this fiasco…… geezuz
That’s good service, the server walks by seeing a plate in front of you that you are not working on, and asks if you are done so she/he can take it out of your way so you can converse with friends, without the annoyance of a half eaten plate of food in front of you. Oh the horror, how dare that conciencious server dare to offend you in such a manner. OFF WITH THEIR HEAD!!!!!
OB, that’s what you get for sitting next to a fat person. There’s no such thing as too much food for them.
Harper, I’m pretty sure there’s quite a few better ways to say it than that IF indeed it was the server to begin with.
It almost sounded like you were munching and a ‘friend’ happened to walk by….
and decided it was a good time to impose some judgment.
also, if they wanted scraps… don’t they usually say ‘Are you going to FINISH that?’
subtle difference… but the wording makes it sound like you were chewing on a little baby fetus or something… and they made sure to display their disgust.
Dear God, please don’t let this be a follow up to the “TMI”
bitch.
You sound like someone I would never want to spend any time with, OP.
Just ask them. Next question?!
OB ?
I understand the Title “Are you eating that”
I really don’t/can’t grasp your rant .
But IMO that doesn’t matter. Just go by the title & answer such a question like this .
“Are You eating that ?”
Possibly.
This way all your bases are covered & hopefully they’ll now shut up.
o.p., fuck what anyone except you think. you are in control of what you do, or don’t do. to hell with what anyone says, you fill your boots.
OB … if you’re that bothered … maybe you should just dine alone.
