Food Falling Out of Fridge (Is this rude)?

Question

I invited my friends over for dinner for the first time at my house.

One of them said they'll go to my fridge to get ice, and I said I'll do it instead. Nope, she insisted, and when she went to get a tray of ice cubes, a gallon of ice cream fell out.

I didn't offer the ice cream to my friends because they were diabetic.

So was she rude for going to the fridge as this was the first time she was at my house, and I'd say I'll do it...................

Answer 1

She was just trying to be helpful...the kitchen, the fridge is generally a "commons" area, where everyone in the house might go.  IF it were your bedroom drawers, then it would be rude.

.... and you don't have to offer ice-cream, its totally up to you what you want to offer, plus ice-cream has a lot of sugar, so it wouldn't be appropriate too.

Answer 2

Some dont get the message when they are told no. I wud tell no if I dont want someone to touch my fridge, pantry etc. I normally push further and say no.

When someone says no, it is no. and not let me still be nice.

Yes, if she pushed to help with dishes then that is being nice. But touching fridge, pantry, cabinets is not good if the host says no.

Answer 3

No...she was just trying to do a good thing, and it backfired...

Lay off her.  She was only trying to be nice.

Answer 4

I don't think you guest was being rude.  

It appears to me that she, (which is typical of female guest), was trying to help.  

One day, you will really appreciate that, it comes in handy to have help.  (by the way, when you go to someones home for dinner, for the most part they don't mind if you offer to help)

I realize that this was your first time that you had them over, or it was your first time having a dinner party....either way, you wanted it to be Perfect.  you were!!  you see there is usually nothing perfect in a dinner party.

Have many, many, more.  Don't get up tight, and keep your fridge in order so stuff doesn't fall out and embarrass you.  It.  (It appears to me that was your only problem).

by the way, diabetic people know how to say no to what they don't want and all diabetics are not necessarily unable to eat a little ice cream.  

Answer 5

just ease off you and your ice cream and your diabetic friends

Answer 6

Don't worry about it. Its nobody's fault at all. These things happens.

She was only trying to be helpful, which should be very much appreciated. This has nothing to do with her being diabetic. They're not going to eat the ice-cream. It just fell off the fridge.

Rather, you should make sure if they're ok and find out if they got hurt.

Really, its not worth thinking like that. Life is sweet and friends are the best to have. Cherish each friend of yours and tell them you love them.

Hope this helps.

Answer 7

Whaaaaaat???? You best be restoring order in your house foo. Don't let her be disrespecting you like that! Your house your rules...don't ever forget that. Recognize.

Answer 8

If you said you were going to do it (and she heard) then it was pretty rude to insist.  Contents of fridge, cupboards, dressers, drawers are kind of private, it's not for everybody to open them.  I'd be annoyed too.
