So does that mean the pudding, pine needles, frogs, and possibly cocker spaniels ARE involved? Huh? Huh??

I’ve got a right to know so I know if I should judge you or not!

(having gotten that out of the way, is there some specific incident that predicated this rant, or is this just one of those things?)

You might not know it to look at me, but I had a horribly traumatic incident in my past related to exactly what you are doing. By acting in this manner you are being highly insensitive toward me and people like me, and I am offended! Outraged, even!

Think about that the next time you consider doing this.
