I (54M) 5'10 and about 290 lbs. So I am kind of fat and put on a lot of weight recently. I work in a production facility in the Mountain West in a very small town. About 300 employees.
This facility is of course a 'like family' atmosphere which is fine whatever. They feed us a couple times a month. The food is a mix of catering from large local restaurants, chain restaurants or home-cooked meals. The food is really pretty good 9 out of 10 times, no complaints there.
So last night they catered Buffy Wild Wingers Stop for dinner, this is a new addition to the lineup. I am greeted by a couple of higher ups and HR types. I am a little distracted because I really don't know or like these guys too much, it's not the regular management crew I am used to doing the food. And I have had a few one-off experiences with a couple of them that didn't really go too well. But everything is friendly and cordial while I load up my plate with like 20 boneless wings and a bunch of other stuff that was there. I am hungry. There were like 6 kinds of wings in warmers on the bar in the breakroom.
So I eat them, exchange more pleasantries and get up to leave. I am looking around the breakroom, because it is 'the other' breakroom that I don't frequent. There is a sign at the beginning of the line that says 'please take only 6 pieces of chicken for your meal'.
TL;DR Didn't see the sign we could only have 6 chicken wings, took 20
EDIT: Didn't know the phrase 'kind of' was going to set some people off. Yes I am fat.
As described below, they were 'chicken nuggets'. Didn't even cover the bottom of the large paper plate. I wasn't trying to be a glutton.
It wasn't an 'office party'. It was a meal provided to production workers at 1:00 am in the middle of nowhere. You can go outside at night and not see the lights from the nearest town.
TIFU is supposed to be I didn't see the sign, not that I am a gluttonous asshole with no respect. Guess I shouldn't have mentioned that I was fat.
