Do you think it's rude to eat your food before others at the table receive theirs?

I thought it was, guess not.
Went out with new 'friends' . Two got their food first, then me. I told the last that I'd wait til she got hers. She declined and one chuckled as if there was something wrong with me not wanting her to be the only one at the table not eating..😕

I always wait. I do agree that it's a bit rude, yeah. I tend to judge people's table manners by whether or not they wait until others get their food and if they put a napkin on their lap or on the table. I also like to see how aware people are of their actions by watching to see if they taste their food before adding condiments or seasoning, especially salt.
