Do you only dislike the big mealy tasteless tomatoes that are commonly used in burgers? Because that is completely reasonable those things are bleh. Or do you also dislike the much more flavorful types, heirloom tomatoes and plum/cherry varieties?

It's okay not to like certain foods. It's okay to be a picky eater too. It's okay. You're okay.

I don't understand why some people are incapable of discerning what details are pertinent to the story they're telling. I can't stand the minutes-long expositional info that doesn't come into play for the punch. I'm so tired of tangents that don't rejoin the central thread. I'm maddened by the attempted recollection of names and dates unknown and unhelpful to the listener. I'm full up with fluff. A very short story can be spun long, if you're entertaining. Split off, flesh out a character, drop an anecdote that adds impact to the tale. Hell, I had a friend who could make a lunch order into a twenty-minute story, but the characters and their voices and the pauses and the stresses make it the loving Odyssey. Then I listen to my sister-in-law tell a story. One sentence's worth of actual, impactful info is spun between "like"s and "um"s, filled with people I never met, acting and speaking with motivations undescribed, and ending with a slow, rumbling stop; whereupon everyone looks at each other with eyes like "what was that? Do we respond? Do we laugh? Do we console? And in response to what?"

I feel like people get put off tomatoes because of the ubiquity of lovely tomatoes on foods, especially sandwiches. Same to a lesser extent with apples. A fuji or honeycrisp is way better as a straight snack than some poo poo like red "delicious".

I think a lot of people legit just don't know the story until they tell it, and have to search around in their entire slush file of experience looking for clues. I've complained about it here before but often when I ask a guest what time they plan to arrive, they unburden their entire day's events list before they get to "about 7, I guess". There's no reason for me to know how many grandchildren your friend who's taking care of your dogs while you're away has in order for me to know that you're going to get here "at suppertime".

I like the taste of red delicious apples but the skin is so thick it ruins the whole thing. Gala are definitely my favorite and honeycrisp is great too. and yeah I can appreciate a fresh tomato even though it's not my favorite thing to eat, but if it's the soggy probably days old tomato slice on a cheap burger, you better believe i'm taking that poo poo off.

I also think some people get real excited that they have "something to share" but don't realize that the only interesting part of the story is that it fits the topic. I'm not asking everyone to be Noel Coward but goddamn, at least do a mental run-thru. And pick an endpoint, for Christ's sake, don't peter out with a "...so...yeah." My other pet peeve is I'm a good listener, so I'll never go Frasier on them, I'll just hear them out and respond thoughtfully. I want to be as big an rear end in a top hat in real life as I am on here.

Those mealy ones are what I was thinking of, yeah, but I don't like little cherry tomatoes, either. I don't mind little tomato chunks in goulash or something, but those taste like nothing. I'm just not a tomato guy, I guess. Then again, I'm also real weird about food. I don't like chili, but love chili fries. I don't like sloppy joes, either.

Pet peeve: food derails in every goddamn thread on this forum. Somebody brings up a food preference and that's suddenly the cue for everyone to rush in to get theirs in. Maybe this is over-stepping, but I don't think very many people really care about strangers' food preference.

Red onions are the only food that seems to blow out my palate. I think I have whatever condition people have that make them dislike cilantro, except for me when I taste red onion in anything it's the only thing I can taste and it spreads like a virus through the whole dish. Can't stand the smell either. It's the worst food on the planet and it smells worse than durian IMO.

Can't stand the smell either. It's the worst food on the planet and it smells worse than durian IMO. I usually don't mind them all that much, and there are times where they work well (like on salads pretty often), but I do think that they're overused. They're often a kind of stupid way for restaurants to make their dishes seem slightly more upscale or more colorful, without taking into account the difference in taste—like how Subway switched to them maybe around the time that they claimed to have improved their bread (that would have been around 2000 or so), or Pizza Hut's switch in the late '90s, when they made their vegetables chunkier overall. The worst fast food/chain restaurant example I can think of is Dave's Single, Double, etc. at Wendy's, which they introduced about seven years ago. I thought the old versions of these were some of the better fast food burgers, but then they had to try to make them come across as more Five Guys-like or Smashburger-like or whatever by switching the dill pickles for terrible sweet pickles, adding a "premium bun," making the patty thicker and with a different consistency, and finally getting rid of the white onions and adding red onions. The attempt at going faux-upscale is as bad or worse than the thinking behind the Arch Deluxe, but I guess I must be in the minority of people who dislike it or notice the difference, since it's stayed pretty much as it was since they made the changes.

Pet peeve: complaints about derails in threads with very general topics. People discussing the same thing for several posts in a row isn't a derail, it's a discussion. It has to go off topic to be a derail and this is "Pet peeves", not "Famous deaf inventors that liked to shove AA batteries up their nose".

People who make a point to come over to presumably talk and have a conversation but then only have one words replies and stare at their phone the whole time, and then seem put out when I go back to what I was doing instead of trying to pry words out of them. Either talk to me or use your phone, I don't care which, but make an effort!

I think red is supposed to be the milder type, so do white onions make your head explode?

People who go to the empty but closer counter expecting to be helped. Not the one I'm working about six feet away. I'm over here, you twits. Take the extra couple steps. Screaming children and parents doing that parenting thing where they ignore the screaming to teach the children they don't get their way all the time and I guess it works but GODDAMN is it annoying in an enclosed space with other people.

Leavemywife posted:I wish I liked tomatoes. I've tried them sliced, fried, in sandwiches and wraps, as soup, but I just don't like them. It'd be a ton easier ordering a burger our wrap if I liked tomatoes. I could enjoy salsa and pico de gallo! Touching back on this one, I hate tomatoes, and it's just the taste, if I can't taste the tomato I'm fine. I don't mind the texture, just the taste, so if they are huge slices, I can pick them off, if they are too small to pick off, I won't taste them. This includes all things tomato, sauces, ketchup, salsa. Just the taste
