You know how they only give you a little bit of food on airlines? Small bags of peanuts, a small plastic cup of orange juice, a bite size piece of bread, small portions all around. You can't get full on this.
This got me thinking. Would it be considered impolite to ask the person sitting next to you if he or she is going to finish that?
For example. Your neighbor eats everything on his meal plate, (chicken medley of vegetables, a 2x2 chocolate brownie and some canned fruit) except the canned fruit. Would it be considered weird to ask him if you can have his canned fruit?
Now you don't know this neighbor of yours. This is the first time you two have met. Infact you two haven't really said much on the 18 hour flight. He's just some guy trying to get home or something.
I don't think it would be. I mean if he doesn't eat his canned fruit, the airline is probably going to toss it out anyway, or worse, give it to the poor.
