I get the same sort of thing, I don't really drink tea or coffee and every time I'm offered a cuppa in the office I politely decline but I still get questioned about it every time. "Ooo I can't believe you don't like coffee/tea", "I can't imagine not having my morning cuppa!" Blah blah blah. The thing is, I do actually like tea and coffee I just don't drink it much and people cannot get their heads round it.LuckyReds said:
Imagine the reactions I get when I regularly have to turn down cakes and/or donuts; "No thanks, I'm not a big fan of cake actually" usually turns in to a 15 minute conversation of (a) how lucky I am, (b) how it's so weird, (c) how they can't imagine not liking cake, and (d) how actually they know someone else "like me".Fiiish said:Adults who don't understand that people have different food tastes to them e.g. someone will taste your food and go "Eurrrghh how can you eat that" or when you say you don't like a certain ingredient "Errrrrmmmagawwdd how on Earth can you not like (insert ingredient here)."
Yes, you are the first person to discover not all 7 billion humans on the planet have exactly the same tastes, you should submit your findings for your honorary doctorate from Fuckwit University you clown.
Hilariously I've even had someone tell me "You think you're being so fucking polite, but she baked them specially for the office. Don't you think you're being a bit rude?" after an office bake-off challenge thing for charity last year.1 -
The stretch (and it's a good few miles) on the A2 near Whitstable that's been reduced to 50mph because the road surface is uneven.
Do me favour, it's probably been like that for years and I don't remember reading about cars tipping over or veering from side to side because the road doesn't resemble a fucking bowling green.5 -

I have something similar (reaction wise) because I have the same lunch everyday. At my current place when one of my Directors clocked this she proceeded to reference this everyday for a good few months. After a while I had to take my other director aside (the one who brought me in) to tell him she's got to wind her neck in. I'll accept the initial look of peculiarity, but to consistently reference everyday was very frustrating.Fiiish said:
LOLing out of sheer exasperation. Since you are office-based (and you move offices a lot, I presume, due to the nature of your work) not liking pastries (which probably make up 95% of free food brought into offices on a daily basis) must be a nightmare. The thing is, the same people who are so fascinated by what other people do and don't eat and generally piss about chatting shite for half the day are the same ones moaning they never have enough time to get their work done. Maybe if you spent less time gobbing off and shoving as much cake in their mouth as physically possible, they might find some time to drag cells across spreadsheets.LuckyReds said:

I also go in order of what I like to eat on my plate and never mix it up. So this is usually the vegetable/salad, the carb, followed by the meat (save the best till last). Of course this also prompted relentless attempts of trying to make a joke out of it. Quotes like 'when you eat your sandwiches do you have a slice of bread at a time'
No you silly moo. You see me eat sandwiches everyday for lunch, do I de construct them and do that. No. So stop trying to get a cheap reaction0 -

Talking about what someone else is eating, or their eating habits, is extremely rude behaviour and only some one who wasn't raised with basic manners would do so. It is one of my massive pet peeves. I'm not usually at the receiving end of such rudeness but when out with large groups at dinner there is usually a victim of this faux pas. There's a reason why there are so many disorders related to eating/digestion. Sometimes I do feel like taking these idiots to one side and explaining to them exactly how much of a fucking tool they are being.cabbles said:

Oh don't get me started on how often it happens! I dread meetings with cakes when i go to a new office, you know full well you can write off the beginning of it whilst people discuss food.Fiiish said:

My OP on this thread is from two years ago. Some of us have been bored of his shit for some time now.Raith_C_Chattonell said:Jose Mourinho’s self pity.
He manages the biggest club in the World, is on fabulous money and will be scrutinised. It comes with the job. His petulant outbursts and lack of grace is beginning to wear a bit thin imo.

I think he's worn thin with a lot more people since then. He's also shown himself to be fallible as a manager. Which pleases me.

About three years ago when I was teaching in Kidbrooke, I was on break duty and happened to look towards a boy who was chatting to his mates in the playground while eating crisps. He finished the crisps, looked around as if checking to see if he was being watched, then dropped the bag on the floor. I went up and asked why he dropped it and he seemed genuinely bemused. Like he couldn't fathom that he'd done anything wrong. I asked why he didn't just put it in the bin, so he picked it up and started looking around for one. There was one right behind him - he'd been leaning on it the whole time.addick1965 said:People who throw rubbish on the floor despite there being a bin in plain sight.This lazy little scrote at the bus stop unwrapped a chocolate bar and just threw the wrapper on the floor with a bin two foot away.
It's at these times that teachers want to shout "For fuck's sake, what is the fucking matter with you, you fucking idiot?" But we bite our tongues. Suffice to say, by the end of break, he was pretty bloody aware of how idiotic I find littering to be.
I'd say it's just kids and kids can be thoughtless, but adults need to set the example. And lots of them don't.12 -

The calorific and nutritional value of beer.
I drink a pint of water and clean out my system and receive all manner of other healthy benefits.
I drink a pint of something which consists of nearly 95% water and all of a sudden my shirt buttons are popping off, my body looks like a spacehopper and I'm doing untold damage to my liver.
Also, hops are the flowers of the hop plant, so effectively a fruit.
So combining a glass of water with one of your 5-a-day is basically the quick route to an early grave. If there is a God, he has a twisted sense of humour.21
