You're not making this easy for me. I wish you would have gone with "egg plant" or "radish" Rather than another example of the nectar of the gods (The gods are fat, go figure)


When I was a kid I didn't like onions. Because the flavor is very strong and onion has the texture of raw apple and that bothers me a lot when eating foods that's supposed to have a different texture. Crunchiness where crunchiness has no business being.

My mother had sole custody of me and I sometimes spent weekends with my father. I told mom that I didn't like onions so the food she gave me had no onion.

Well my father wouldn't have any of that. He maintained that no one could really dislike onion and onion was in everything anyway. That it was just a flavor enhancer and you didn't really eat the onion itself. So he started sneaking onion into my food to prove me wrong.

Yeah he was a good sneaker and when I wasn't looking for onion I sometimes didn't find it. So he then quizzed me on which food had and didn't have onion. I failed the quiz and that proved him right, that no one could really dislike onion, and the food he made would now contain onion where he deemed it appropriate. Sometimes I wouldn't taste it. Sometimes I fished out little onion pieces to put on the side of my plate which angered him to no end.

It's a silly thing to do too cause children's palates actually are a lot more sensitive than those of an adults and foods taste a lot stronger to them. Adults just seem to assume children taste things the same as they do and it's not true at all, your sense of taste just gradually weakens over time. It's why my grandparents cover basically every single savory food with black pepper

No, I don't camp out in the fast lane. I made a point of saying that I go at least a little above the speed limit because the impatient fucks will always show up whenever someone in the right lane decides to match speeds with me. Now I've got the impatient gently caress on my rear end, and my options are 1) Go way over the speed limit in order to completely pass, then let the impatient gently caress through, or 2) Slow down and get behind the right lane. Both of these will likely cause an accident, because some impatient gently caress just HAS to go faster.


If you mean illegal to be IN the fast lane unless passing, rather than being a general "avoid using the fast lane unless passing", I was not aware of that. I try to be as accommodating as possible, but still.

I don't mean to be rude but if you refuse to go at least 10 miles over the speedlimit on the highway you are an old lady who shouldn't be driving on a highway

I hate when people post fake news headlines or articles in the Funny News Headlines thread. It's not funny if an alligator eats a naked nun if it's not real! The only humor that exists in 99% of the titles is the absurdity of them actually being a thing or a legit mistype or something. You can tell fake news sites pretty much immediately.

I hate those ads on sites you have to slide all the way up the screen to get through them like you're rolling up a sleeve or something

Similarly it drives me crazy when sites deliberately load ads slower so if you try to click a link you'll click the ad instead. And they're usually littered like minefields around the actual links. Cracked is one of the worst for that

If my co-workers hadn't pointed out all the mistakes I'd made I would never have learned anything. Positive reinforcement is a myth perpetuated by bad people.

In a kitchen atmosphere it's really dumb and people only do it because Gordon Ramsey and Anthony Bourdain glorified it. Chefs who think they have to act like they're angry TV celebrities suck and negatively impact the kitchen under them til they're left with the only people asaholeish and misanthropic enough to stay. It's dumb and unnecessary.

There are team jobs way more high stress than restaurant work that don't feel the need to treat everyone like poo poo because they don't have that dumb archetype built up around them

In a kitchen atmosphere if some idiot is loving up I will most assuredly let them know immediately. I won't call them an idiot, the first time, but mistakes need to be addressed and corrected, especially in an environment where the job is constant repetition and the goal is the flawless reproduction of various dishes; mistakes that are not addressed become bad habits very quickly. And then the idiot with low self esteem gets fired because he always fucks up, rather than feeling a little down for a little while, but learning what he should be doing and fixing the mistake.

That's not to say I'm yelling at people all the time, I actually tend to be very tactful in the kitchen, at least the first couple of times I need to talk to somebody. I like to make people I've talked to feel like they are learning to make badass food correctly and that's cool and fun, not focus on the gently caress up. But if someone is working slowly, in a dangerous manner, or using improper technique I will immediately bring it up and correct the behavior in the moment. I'll say nice job to people a handful of times every day, if they are going above and beyond, but doing your job correctly is the reason you are paid, and and we send you a thank you note for doing your job right every other Friday. Not addressing something that is being done wrong because sometimes some things are done right is loving asinine. I don't care if you are a 90% perfect employee in the kitchen, that other 10% is what needs to be addressed and change.

I'm not arguing against correcting people who are doing stuff incorrectly, just against where that leads some restaurants into becoming toxic work environment hell holes because "that's the way it has to be". It's not. There's no reason for an entire kitchen to dump on the new guy like it's some sort of hazing ritual, cause new people are gonna gently caress up. I'm not saying they should be coddled but you shouldn't be sending people home feeling like poo poo every night because that's somehow how you've come to view cooking culture

This anger started when I saw a minivan with a bumper sticker that said, "the closer you get the slower I go." gently caress you guy. And you'll see it here sometimes too, a goon who brags about being in the passing lane going 55 because "people shouldn't be going over the speed limit."

I can't think of a single person I know, grandparents included, who have this pussy-rear end belief and are vocal about it which is why it's so weird how many of them exist on SA.

People who act like not breaking the law is somehow the obnoxious or inconsiderate option. If someone's driving under the limit, that's a reasonable thing to complain about, but if you're whinging because you're being forced to drive at the speed limit because the person in front of you is, the problem there is you. Just drive at the right speed and reach your destination about half a minute later. It's really not a big deal.

Passing lanes are for passing and you're legally allowed to exceed the speed limit to do so. If some jackass is controlling the lane for no reason then they're in the wrong
