    I really do want the small piece. I’m too full. I actually don’t want any pie at all, but I don’t want to be rude.

    You ask for a small piece, you get a small piece. I’m not the asshole who is going to ruin your diet.

    Ask for what you want, or get what you asked for. I don’t fucking play mind games.

      I want the small piece, I ate too much real food and now don’t have room for the big one and don’t like being judged for wasting that last bit of pie I knew I couldn’t eat.

    I feel like asking for seconds after having a small piece is the best compliment you can give to whoever made the cake.

    Yeah, but asking for the small piece how I get through social situations like birthday parties with grocery store sheet cake; I think grocery store sheetcake is absolutely disgusting and a standard-sized piece will literally make me sick, but I will suffer a few bites to be part of the festivities and not make the host feel judged for their taste in desserts. Give me a big piece and I’ll feel obligated to finish the whole thing or rudely waste the gifted food.

    Also sometimes I’m full or have a bellyache or already had a big dessert that day and really can’t handle that much sugar.

    Either way if I’m wrong and decide I want more, there’s this concept called “getting a second serving.”
