I have different ideas from my partner. If we are eating e.g. in an Indian restaurant, and he has something I've never had before, I'll say "ooh, that looks good, can I try some?" and as a Brit I would find it normal if he tidily separated a piece from the other side and pushed it over to me. 30 years ago he refused every time. He's got used to the idea now. But he will very seldom try mine; "I ordered what I wanted and I don't want yours." I personally find that a bit rude, but it seems to be a German thing. — RedSonja 1 min ago

@ThorbjørnRavnAndersen It essentially means that "if you weren't given something, don't try to take it anyway", with the implication that trying to take something that wasn't given to you in the first place will bring you trouble — kumikan 1 min ago

Please note that our community policy actively discourages commenting to explain downvotes if the downvotes are because of disagreement with the answer. So my guess is people disagree with your answer and are (rightly) not commenting. — scohe001 1 min ago

I won't add an answer to an on-hold question (though if the hold is removed I may convert this to an answer), but the answer here is to contact the group that has organized the event and ask them. No one else will have the requisite information on what the intention of the event is, or if it would be an issue for you to attend. — Upper_Case 1 min ago

Just how much have you told them that's not true? There's a big difference between explaining that they don't know your real name and you're not the youngest of 15 siblings compared to more personal things like your likes/dislikes and your true personality. — scohe001 1 min ago
