(The title is misleading; I haven't cooked for anyone in years because I'm sick of being insulted)
Why won't grown people eat or drink ANYTHING you give them? (It's not just me, the examples will show how it happens to other people too)
Example1) I recently "donated" some hot cocoa to my workplace, but no one will drink it. I know how much they like it, they'll steal the company's hot chocolate; this is the same exact brand, but they won't even try it. Same with the good quality name-brand coffee I brought in.
Example 2) A friend of mine gave me some cookies to give to another friend. 3 weeks later he hasn't eaten a single one. Why won't he eat them? Why won't he at least throw them out and say that they were great?
Example 3) Boss at work got an extra donut from Dunkin D's, offered it to anyone who wanted it. (2 hours later I ate it cause no one else would; but they'll go next door and buy the same exact donut and eat that one, but not the one someone else offers them)
People bring in perfectly fresh sandwiches all the time, un-touched, from local take-out places where they ordered too much; they offer it to everyone. No matter how hungry people are, they refuse to even touch it. I can't imagine this; I am polite.
I NEED to understand this. It's extremely insulting. I learned long ago that even close friends would rather insult me and hurt my feelings than take a bite of anything I offer them; even if it's pre-packaged and not some lousy home recipe of mine. In my entire adult life the ONLY thing anyone's eaten that I've offered them is Elio's frozen pizza.
