No one likes a freeloader. You know the type—the ones who always seem to disappear when the bill arrives but are first in line when it’s time to eat. Well, this story of dinner party drama from Reddit’s r/AITA adds a delicious twist to that familiar tale.

At a ‘First Letter Food Fest’ dinner party, where everybody brings a dish that starts with the first letter of their name, friends encounter the ultimate test of patience. One of their group, notorious for never pitching in, shows up with her boyfriend—and yes, they come empty-handed.

The evening’s tension culminates in a showdown over a tray of BBQ ribs, leading to a fallout that has the group questioning the bounds of friendship and generosity. Who’s in the right? It’s a feast of opinions and a full plate of dinner party drama.
