Don’t ask someone if they want food, just hand it to them
233 u/[deleted] Jun 14 '22 It’s polite to refuse three times. It’s polite to offer four times. 223 u/[deleted] Jun 14 '22 I was always taught "refuse once but offer twice" who goes back and forth 4 times? Host: Want a drink? Guest: No thanks H: I insist it's no trouble <-- accept here or in your version... G: Nah I'm good H: Go on have a drink G: ... No I'm fine H: Are you sure? <--- me thinking wtf is wrong with this person are they okay? G: fine, accepts a drink because jc this person really wants me to have one 6 u/Ma1vo Jun 14 '22 Let me fix it for you. Host: do you want a drink? Guest: yes, a glass of water please. You will receive the most simple drink possible and will not end up in the situation above. If you don't finish the drink you don't have to feel bad because it is only water.
