ordering 1 dish per person at the table, and then having every person at the table eat some of each dish, is the best way to eat out. you are legitimately boring as gently caress if you don't enjoy eating as a group in this fashion

But if you go to a crawfish boil and you order yourself some frog legs and shrimp and don't share then you're loving weird If you knew my family then they would move their chairs away from me if I ever ordered something as exotic as frog legs.

I have an irrational hatred of reverse parking. When I pull into the garage at work and I see a reverse parking job, it takes all my self control not to take my tire iron out and bash out every window on that car.

yeah, obviously there are some foods that work less well for this. but honestly, I still think it's good to do. we don't do like any poo poo nowadays that fosters community and fellowship, so share some food before you go back to reading Twitter at the table ffs also why would you not wanna try as much of the good food as possible, if everyone is down for that

I do this but only because I don't have a car over here and carrying groceries home in a backpack is easier than carrying bags around by hand.

If I'm at a sharing food place then I share but otherwise I'm ordering for me and you can have some sure but I want to eat the majority of what I have ordered for myself after considering all the options on the menu. If I wanted what you are eating I'd have ordered that.

Final note on asking for food off someone's plate: don't wait until near the end of the meal to ask for a taste, do it at the beginning. I always start on the bad end and save the best bite for last. Don't steal what I've been waiting all meal for.

Reverse parking is like making the bed in the morning. It's a little more effort up front but it makes life a lot more convenient for your future self.

Koyaanisgoatse posted:i dated a girl who would always ask for a bite of whatever i was eating and it drove me crazy. it would be fine if it was just meals in a restaurant where she wanted to try a bite of something actually interesting, but she would ask for bites of some lovely quesadilla i made even though she made the same thing a few hours earlier. she also started getting fat toward the end of the relationship so there was that too I'm the inverse of this. I generally hate being asked if I want something more than once. I'll change my mind of my own accord if I decide I want it. My girlfriend will ask me 3 or 4 times in a row sometimes to try something she's eating and then gets butthurt when I become visibly annoyed around question 3 and 4 because I really really hate repeating myself over something so simple. No I don't want to try it, get your fork away from me.

Going out to eat in a party larger than 6 people. Doubly so if it is without a reservation or if people have food restrictions... Even worse if check splitting is involved. I just know I am in a group that is being a giant pain in the rear end and it fills me with shame. Serving picky eaters or people who don't finish their food (without taking home leftovers). God drat rear end in a top hat, I worked hard to make this food and used expensive ingredients. Grab a little taste first and I won't be offended if you don't like it (you'll just have to feed yourself). I like what I made and would have eaten it for lunch tomorrow if you didn't leave it all in a stirred up mess on your plate. Finally, not food related: Podcast 'rebroadcasting' infuriates me. I get it, a lot of you are of NPR pedigree, but this isn't radio. I can go listen to an old episode whenever I want on my own terms. gently caress you. I'm driving and can't gently caress with my phone to navigate to an episode that I didn't already hear.

chewing, heavy breathing, any kind of smell that isn't fresh linens, close proximity, anything above talking volume, bad jokes, putting more than one haha, lol, lmao, etc. into one text; texting, phone calls, phones, small-talk, bringing plus-ones when it's not invited, being an uninvited plus-one, refusing to share then leaving the garbage for others to pick up, thinking everyone is out to kill me. that's just off the top of my head

I just wish people would hurry the f up at the store. Come on fucker, no one cares about the thing you are talking about slam your card into the reader and let's go there's a line of people behind you. Oh, you didn't realize that thing was $10 instead of $8 tough luck shitbird just buy it and know better for next time OR don't and be quick about it but my god the cashier doesn't give a poo poo about how you feel bad but you looked at the wrong label on the deli counter and blah blah blah shut up gently caress off and get out of the WAY. On a similar note if you are turning right GET OVER THEN so people behind you can get by namaste.

Male tank tops. WEAR SLEEVES YOU WEIRDOS.  Also gender-inappropriate short sleeves on men. Men should not be allowed to wear sleeves that cover less than half of their upper arms. It looks stupid.
