Chocolate and champagne

I'm going shopping.

What's worse is when people want to talk while they are eating.

Last time this situation happened to me,
I was all like,
"Bitch!! Y'see what ya made me go an' do? Ya made have to slap your ass jus' cuz you trying to talk wit' your mouth full 'n shit!
Sweetheart, you gonna have to learn, this isn't the the country you livin' in, anymore. You in the city now. And here, we have certain standards of etiquette that we expect everyone to abide by.
Now don't make me ever have ta learn ya ass, again."

Need I add, that in this situation, when i said she was eating,
I meant that she was giving me a bj?

The worst is when I occasionally go to MCD's for that rare occasion. I have to practically sneak it back and eat quickly, because I get comments. Usually they are the kind where they mix "Yum" with some other wisecrack about how you're being bad or something by eating it. Basically they are just jealous but I wish they'd shut the F up!!!!

I had a boss who was famous for eating other peoples stuff. SHe'd never find the time to eat properly. She'd like go scrounging for other peoples food in their desks. One time she ate this guys jar of peanuts and left him an IOU.

I had this chick who sat across from me who constantly ate and talked. Mouth full of food and trying to say something. It was disgusting. I don't know if it's a cultural thing. She was Chinese and I see that a lot on the Bus, a lot of multi-task eating and talking.

superspaceboy said:

Cultures & buses, when mixed, always end in results that are never pretty.

did anyone leave a nice, scrumptious, well-hidden and well-placed mouse trap in their desk for her? if not, they should.

No, but I was thinking of tainting my food at one time. I couldn't stand her! I recall that as an "ice breaker" she asked everyone who their worst and best boss was. I so wanted to to say she was the worst!

She ended up "retiring" and taking care of her 3 kids, which she later elated to me was a lot of work. Well Duh. She left before she got canned.

I just turn to them and say "Dammit! Get your own girlfriend!"

Listen to you all!

If you eat food in a public space you have no right to moan about other people commenting. If you want privacy, go eat in a cupboard or a toilet cubicle or somewhere!

At my work, there's always a queue for the cupboards

LleeLlee said:

I bring my own cupboard to work with me.

fathermcmeekle said:

Is that where you keep your coat?

fathermcmeekle said:

So in other words we need to put up four physical walls around us while we're eating to compensate for some people's lack of common sense?

Tom said:

Yes, unless you are breast feeding. That's natural!

LleeLlee said:

On hot days I don't take it out of the cupboard but I know it's there incase it's chilly on the way home.

Tom said:

I tend to put up four imaginary mental walls and ignore folks while I eat. And if they do talk to me I spit my food at them.

Anx said:

Someone must be eating.

Anx said:

This is one of my pet peeves...AHH I hate when ppl stick their nose down in my food and make a comment. I find it is rather rude...I am tempted to stab them with my fork..

Anx said:

Im beginning to come to the conclusion that you're not really a "people" person.

Anx said:

But what about when they not only just take some of your food without asking but then also declare that it tastes bad?

fhqwhgads said:

i saw a girl at work do that recently. a guy brought in homemade veggie fritters and she weaseled her way into taking one from him, then she said "ew, i thought these were going to be sweets!" and spit it out into a napkin.

Anx said:

Serves her right. I hope she couldn't get the taste out of her mouth for the whole day.

I hate when I'm doing oven chips (fries) and I decide just how many I want and put them on the baking tray. Then once they're done and someone starts taking them from my plate I always get pissed and tell them I made just the right amount for myself and would've made more if they'd said they wanted some.

Anx I would love for you to tell me what you had for dinner and what it tasted like...I want all the details...

Anx said:

The worst are the ones who say ~~~~ "oh yeah, I'm a vegetarian too ~ well, but I gotta have my chicken and fish". I'm a very peaceful person but that makes me just want to slap them!!!

MoonSongs said:

why do people think i want to know about their dietary history just because i'm a vegetarian? do i look like a walking confessional booth? AIEEE!!!
