It seems like when I go out to eat with other people, they have a tendency to offer the remainder of their meal to finish, but only AFTER they have dumped some condiment on it that I hate. (and that they know I don’t like).
I dont like adding salt to fries. IMO they tend to be salty enough. My best friend likes to dump MORE salt on them, though :eek: . One time, he dumped a bunch of salt on some fries, ate maybe two or three before it dawned on him he was too full to eat them, then pushed them over to me and said “You can have the rest”. I told him, “No thanks, not after you contaminated them with sodium chloride!”
The same goes for horseradish for steak, sour cream for mexican food, or mayonnaise to sandwhiches/burgers. They put this stuff on it right before they offer it to me. Its like if a person went out to eat with a vegan, and offered them the portion of their steak they couldn’t eat, knowing the other person was a vegan.
I’m not a human garbage disposal. Just because I have an appetite sufficient to finish my own meal doesn’t mean I’ll wolf down what’s left of yours. I’m picky when it comes to condiments, and if I’m not sure when ordering/asking for something, I’ll just get it plain. Frankly, I don’t think its a good idea to douse a meal that you know will be saved/put in the fridge with condiments, since it usually doesn’t come out so well (why not just put it in the fridge PLAIN, and put FRESH condiments on it? It’ll make it taste fresher!).
Is it against your moral beliefs to eat salt? Do you throw up because you’re unable to digest it? I’m a vegetarian; I don’t find the comparison apt. I hate onions, but I don’t freak when people offer me food with onions even if they know my dislike of them. Sometimes I just pick out the onions, after all
Well, I must remember the next time I am out to ask everyone at the table if they mind me putting salt and ketchup on my own chips that I am paying my own money for.
Yeah. Right.
I though Pit rants were to blow off about someone else, not to point out the depths of one’s own self-absorption.
Interesting new concept, though.
2trew, I was hoping this WAS a parody of some sort. Or a joke. I’m still waiting for the punchline, hoping no one is that self absorbed and stupid. I have a feeling I shouldn’t hold my breath while I wait.
okay…i think i have the solution to your problm. bear with me, now.
step 1- get new friends.
step 2- kill old friends.
step 3- salt old friends to taste.
step 4- consume them with relish (or not, as your tastes run)
My ex worked with this guy who would go into a fit if you farted around him. Didn’t matter whether it was a little toot, or the kind that would peel paint and set off car alarms, this guy would act like you had shit on the floor in front of him and practically hyperventilate.
Needless to say, my ex would deliberately go into this guys office if flatulence was immenent.
Dude, your reaction in the OP is abnormal, and if you act like this around your friends, I wouldn’t be surprised if they do do it because your reaction amuses them.
Friends are not required to memorize quirks, especially as it relates to a throwaway gesture like offering food to a friend that you can’t eat.
If someone offers you leftovers that you consider “ruined”, you are not obligated to take it. Just pleasantly say “No, thanks”.
Incubus your friends are obviously trying to get you to lose weight! They would feel bad if they didn’t offer you their left overs, but to save you the excess calories they are adding salt, relish, bogies, etc. in order to save your figure. In fact the friend who does this most often for you, is really HOT for your body, and this is a clumsy though charming ‘come on’.
Zyada, you’re story was hilarious, and really put my own situation into prespective. Yes I am really finicky about the food I eat.
My friends and family know that. Like elfje suggested, I’m pretty sure they’re just trying to piss me off because I make a big deal of it (even though thinking rationally, it is silly to get worked up over).
