This was our first weekend to tailgate and honestly, I am not happy with the way it turned out. We love to tailgate. We love the food and friends and the "football family" that we have. I don't love when that family takes advantage of us and I feel that was done this weekend. We invite people here. We cook and order food and provide a tv for people to watch. Some( NOT ALL) of these people, decided to invite other people. Which, is fine. The more the merrier. But these people that we invited, didn't provide a damn thing to the tailgate.
Not one drink.
Not one dip.
Not one dollar towards the cost of the food.
So, they bring strangers to our tailgate. Strangers that were never introduced to us. That sat in my chair.
That ate my food.
That drank my beer.
All without contributing anything to tailgate.
I looked up at one point and I am serving cake to a Penn State fan. Where did he come from? I didn't invite him.
When we got back from the game, there was trash everywhere. In food containers, just a couple of beers and water left in coolers, and no one helped me clean up. Only Joseph and Tracie helped us break down everything. It was after midnight before we were finished.
I don't like the rudeness that was shown to me this weekend. I will no longer be providing food and drink to ANYONE. And if you come? Please, for the love of God, bring your own chair!!!
Enjoy the pictures from this weekend!
