Being a good host means looking out for all your guests, right? Well, one Redditor found herself feeling awkward at a BBQ hosted by her ex's friends. The 37-year-old shared her experience, saying it was her first time being invited by 'ex-boyfriend's friends' to join them for a pre-drink/BBQ. Before heading over, her boyfriend casually mentioned, "his friend messaged and said the host feels bad because they are having a BBQ and there may not be enough food for everyone, so if we see food lying around to not feel bad about it.
" At first, the Redditor thought this was cool and "assumed he meant they'd have already eaten and we were joining after." But when they arrived, things took a turn. It quickly became obvious that no one had touched the food! Out of the 12 invited guests, only eight were seated for dinner while the other four were left hanging.
She recalled, "When it came to meal time, the 8 of them sat around a nicely set table and chowed down without making eye contact with us while we stood on the outside of the table chatting. I thought this was so weird, my ex did not, I guess? It was awkward because we were actually starving!"

The woman found it odd and while her ex went and got some.
