I agree... Me and the Old Grump would regularly bring in pots of food to feed the entire department "just because" we like to cook and there were only two of us at home.
People are fukkin nasty anymore. They have ZERO respect and no social boundaries. Makes you wonder if their parents forgot to teach them or if they just plain didn't give a shit for all of their parent's best efforts.

i would rather pass out from starvation than to even put a co-worker in the position to ask them. I mean, I wouldn't want them to feel obligated to say, "Here have it." out of being socially correct and feel deep down, "Shit - I was hungry. I REALLY wanted to eat *that*." .... as I know I WOULD if the situation were reversed. Just all about doing unto others....
