He Kicked Two Guests Out Of His Dinner Party For Accusing Him Of Serving Trash Liquor And Berating His Wife About Whether Their Food Was Gluten-Free
This man is currently married, and he and his wife live in a very small town. In fact, it’s so tiny that there’s only one restaurant – and the nearest “bigger” town is around 80 miles away.
That’s why there isn’t much to do in their area, which is a problem for his wife. Apparently, she is a very social person, and living in such a secluded region has been tough on her.
“So we compromise by having friends and family over way more than I would like. It’s give and take,” he explained.
“We host weekly (sometimes biweekly) dinners. I help prep food, cook, clean, and try really hard to be a gracious host.”
Given the lack of activities around, they also don’t care if some of their guests bring a plus-one. And it helps that they always have plenty of food to serve at these gatherings.
For instance, during this time of year, they typically grill meat – such as hamburger patties, assorted sausage, and kebabs – from a local butcher.
“We buy tons of stuff that he typically sells to restaurants. Everything is frozen and vacuum-sealed in small packages. It’s not a huge deal to pull out and cook a few more kebabs or whatever,” he detailed.
However, this past weekend, he was left with a super sour taste in his mouth after a couple of his dinner party guests behaved really rudely.
It all began when one of his friends brought their girlfriend, who he’d met, and their girlfriend’s adult daughter, who he hadn’t been introduced to before. Additionally, a different friend brought their fiancée’s brother, Mark.

The issues started after Mark went inside his home to use the restroom and saw his liquor collection.
To be clear, he and his wife are not huge alcohol drinkers, but when they throw dinner parties, they typically put out some standard liquor and mixers for their guests.
“If you want something else, bring your own. But I do have a rather nice collection of very top-shelf liquor that I’ve collected over the years,” he noted.
Anyway, once Mark spotted his collection, the guy proceeded to head back outside and loudly comment on how he’d been keeping all the good liquor “locked up” and serving his guests “trash liquor.”
The worst part? Mark repeated this multiple times so that everyone could hear it.
Then, more problems arose with his friend’s girlfriend’s adult daughter. He didn’t even catch her name, yet the woman supposedly started intensely questioning his wife about what food items were gluten-free.
He and his wife had no clue, either, since they bought all the meat and didn’t know whether the spices added had gluten in them.
“So you just feed people random stuff without knowing what’s in it? That’s just great,” the woman responded.
Plus, after that offhand remark, the woman actually rolled her eyes, looked at his wife, and told her to “get a bowl” so she could use the lettuce, bacon, and tomatoes he’d laid out to make a salad.
“I would ask you for some salad dressing, but you probably don’t know what’s in that, either,” the woman added.
Now, he had specifically prepared lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, cheese, and grilled onions to be used as burger toppings.
“It is a pet peeve of mine when people start grabbing them and eating large quantities of them plain,” he said.
“Why would you think it’s okay to go to a party and eat half the bacon or half the cheese? If you take all or almost all of something, what’s everyone else going to put on their burger?”
He was so ticked off by both Mark and his complaints about the free liquor, as well as how rudely the woman was talking to his wife, that he ultimately decided to kick them both out.
He called them both ungrateful and ungracious guests before telling them to get out of his house.
Following that incident, his wife actually didn’t say anything about what happened.
“But I feel terrible that her gathering was ruined,” he admitted.
And even though he doesn’t think he was in the wrong here, he can’t help but wonder if asking the two guests to leave was really the best way to handle the situation.
Do you agree that the guests were out of line? Did he have a right to put his foot down?
