There was an NYU grad student who died of vitamin deficiencies because they only ate Ramen noodles. They were in one of the biology/medical programs (immunology if memory serves).

People blowing bubblegum loudly make me want to do horrible things to them. Sometimes it scares me how angry I actually get. If I can I try to put some distance between us.

If they pop bubbles in rapid succession I become convinced they do it just to spite me, even if I don't know the person. I had to stop going to certain classes in college because some rear end in a top hat would blow bubblegum.

Some people can blow bubbles that sound like someone dropping a light bulb.

I've also seen some expert trolls that manage to get off two or three bubbles in a row. With a sound like someone squeezing bubble wrap.

They also had a medical consultant who actually made sure that the medical jargon they used was accurate.

You would think all medical shows would have this person, but apparently not based on poo poo I've heard in House, Grey's Anatomy, and ER.

My contribution? If you're in the hallway at a hotel, shut the gently caress up, no matter what time it is. There are going to be people on your floor that don't have the same sleep schedule as you, guaranteed.

I'm not a big fan of sunshine. My white ancestory (parents are English and Scottish, with Nordic roots) has given me skin that is one of two colours: pasty white or flaming red. There is no in between.

I didnt eat it growing up and never developed a taste for it. Eating it now, it tastes funny and the texture feels strange.

Small amonts of it are fine but good luck finding small amounts of cheese on anything in the US.

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.

On that note, people who go around thinking bacon is so great. It... really, really isn't. I mean, it works well as a part of something, like a good sugo. But on its own, like in a sandwich or part of breakfast it is at best milquetoast. Stringy, tough and worst of all, way too salty (although that's why it is good in sugos, helps the stock).

My obnoxious thing is people who complicate normal food so much to seem cool to random people. These fuckers don't eat a normal sandwich with ham or tuna or something, no they need bulgogi or some poo poo so they can sound dignified to who the gently caress knows exactly

Springing off this, I wish people would stop acting like eating bacon = instant heart attack.

Bacon is like 80 calories for 2 strips. Even if you go all :goonsay: and eat like 6 strips with breakfast, that's only 240 calories. Stop acting like bacon is a death food, it's fine, it's just normal meat.

I want to branch out and I'm going to stick with it.
Coworkers at the office who cook things in the microwave, then stop it early, take their stuff out, and leave the microwave with like... 10 or 15 seconds left on the timer. They just leave the microwave like that. If the next person to use it doesn't look at the display, and tries to start entering their time, nothing will work. YOu have to hit stop/clear to reset the timer before you can start over. And people do this all the time. Like, more than half the time I go to use the microwave it has time left over.

Why can't you just put in how much time you want instead of always putting in more time and taking it out early? Why can't you stop and clear it when you're done? Why does this bother me so much?

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
