• Am I wrong for ruining my friend's birthday by giving a homeless man his leftover steak?

• There's nothing more wasteful than spending $80 on a piece of meat and throwing it away because it's a day or two old. If you're going to take a doggie bag home from a restaurant, you really have to commit to it! Either you hold a wet mini cardboard box in the car for 20 minutes because you hate food waste, or you leave your uneaten food at the restaurant, where it can receive a proper burial. You shouldn't have gotten your food's hopes up that it might actually be eaten, only to give it a pit stop in your fridge on its way to the garbage chute. That's downright shameful.

• He's not even mad that he didn't get the chance to eat the steak. I would understand if he felt pressured to give his steak away against his will in the moment. If he really wanted to eat it and someone asked, "Is it okay if I give it away?" he might have felt guilty saying no, even if he wanted to. But this guy wanted to be the one to throw away the leftovers instead of giving them to someone who'd truly appreciate them. Who wants chores like this? Again, why didn't he forego the doggy bag entirely? Why does the acknowledgment of poverty ruin his birthday? This is one strange fellow.
