lol yeah, I experience the same thing and my GF also does when hanging out with the girls of my friend group. She’s said multiple times they’ll be bitching and then all look at her and she’ll be like “Idk T-Square is the best, idk what to tell you” ![]() Android Apocalypse posted:When I go on my weekly hikes with fellow goon Crosshatch he will sometimes vent about his wife. I suspect I'm one of the only people he can talk to about it besides his therapist or his family members so I let it slide. I do like his wife & think the two of them are good for each other, but I also recognize some of the issues Crosshatch has with her. This seems like normal friend stuff, I feel like this person might be upset if you were naming and shaming them on the forums after confiding in a close friend on personal issues, you should consider editing out their username

Joey Freshwater posted:I came down to Florida with the gf to visit her college friends. They’re all married so I’m hanging out with their husbands while the girls go off and do stuff. We played golf today and I swear to god they haven’t stopped complaining about their wives. Idk if it’s like bro culture or whatever but it’s annoying as hell. They tried roping me in like “does your girl annoy you too?” And I’m like…no, she’s awesome and I love hanging out with her wtf, and even if she did I wouldn’t talk poo poo about her to you losers. Any man I've ever met whose said "happy wife, happy life" has seemed like 30 seconds from blowing their brains out. My wife is amazing and I'm drat lucky she settled for my weird scrungly rear end.

I haven't had it but my hot take Costco opinion is that the pizza is mid. Fine but I'll choose most other pizza befofe it.

Oh their pizza kinda sucks imo. Chicken bake is gross. Hotdog or the strawberry sundae thing

Hotdog with a berry or mocha smoothie is the pure land of Costco's food court. The churros are also acceptable.

Their strawberry ice cream with the strawberry topping is my new favorite. The pizza is ok, and it makes a quick meal at home, but I miss the combo flavor. What I really miss is decent take and bake pizza. Almost all of those places closed down around here.

Costco used to have an awesome square take and bake pizza, it was only around for a couple of years but I miss it dearly.

Oh they also have these little carrots - they’re full shape but smaller, and in three colors (yellow, purple, etc) and they’re absolutely delicious with basic steaming and salting

I found out in Costco Japan food court, instead of a chicken bake, they have a bulgogi bake, and man... that sounds so much better.

Carrots I can take or leave. They don't have much flavor to me, so I find them unappetizing whole or in large pieces, but they're utterly inoffensive sliced or shredded and offer good nutrition plus they come in unique colors. When I made a big pot of chicken soup a while back, I had rainbow baby carrots in the fridge, so I just sliced those suckers up and dumped them in, so my soup had little orange, purple, and yellow discs floating in it, which looked cool.

Fair, but for everyone else, have this thing from the food lab which is amazing quote:1½ pounds large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch disks or faux tournée

My brother in law has this and I'm like, dude you can't eat soup? Like a basic mirepoix can apparently mess him up. Weirdest thing. He's fine with other spices and veggies of all sorts, just carrots are a problem for some reason.

I like carrots but every now & then I can notice their inherent sweetness and it actually weirds me out for a second. Power came back in the house at 5:45pm so at least I won't freeze tonight.

I wonder how much spit the average "I don't like this regular ingredient can you please alter the recipe for me" individual eats in a lifetime. I had a friend at work who could never just order what was on the menu and he irritated everyone and we didn't even have to pick the carrots/mushrooms/whatever out of his lunch.

I had that last time I went to Costco, it’s definitely a calorie bomb and about all you’d need for a lunch. Bulgogi inside the same baked bread outer. The other fun thing is they give you two spoons or straws with the frozen yogurt desserts, which are the same size as what you’d get in the U.S.

Did a Carne Asada Ribeye for me and a regular for the wife, Yukon/Idaho mashed taters with pork stock/cheddar and some glazed baby carrots.

I worked in restaurants for more than a decade and to my knowledge the cooks didn't spit in the food no matter how annoying the customer. I was front of house so they had plenty of opportunities to do it without me seeing.

Yeah, this guy isn't an rear end in a top hat per se but just overly picky. I could see FOH staff rolling their eyes when he ordered, but he paid and wasn't otherwise obnoxious/annoying. His friends (my work crew) just got tired of every restaurant possibly being vetoed because (imaginary reason)

Yeah I've also worked in restaurants for a long time and the idea of a cook spitting in food is a handy movie trope for a writer who needs a cheap laugh but nothing more. I've literally never heard of it happening in real life, and no one even jokes about it.

I've replaced sliced cucumber on my salads with raw sliced zucchini and it's a game changer.

Most often the punishment for being a picky eater is random upcharges on the item or it taking significantly longer to come out than everything else.
