Dear Eye View,
Last week, my boyfriend and I took his teenage daughter to a major league baseball game with seats in a corporate suite. As with most suites, the food and drink were complimentary. We arrived before the game and were able to enjoy several different types of ballpark food—nachos, hamburgers, hot dogs, etc. My boyfriend’s daughter helped herself to a few things, one of which was a hot dog roll—just the roll, no hot dog. While I thought this odd, it was no big deal. About 20 minutes after that, she went back to the buffet and took two more rolls and ate them both! After the game, I mentioned to my boyfriend that I thought this was inappropriate, given that the rolls were there to accompany the hot dogs and that most of the other suite guests had not arrived yet and therefore had not had a chance to get food. He felt that as a guest in the suite, she was entitled to whatever she wanted and however much she wanted. And he said that there was no formal etiquette rule to address this. What do you think?

Dear Everything in Moderation..
Mind your own business when it comes to your boyfriend’s kid..Being an invited guest, she is entitled to carb up with as many freakin’ hot dog buns as is reasonable. Learn a little guest etiquette. Obnoxious and stupid is no way to go through life..You obviously have an inflated “view” of your self. Try to actually be a friend to this bread-loving teen.Tell your boyfriend you were wrong and hopefully have him guessing how much of an idiot you are..a little longer. .Hope this helps.
