Shit that annoys you

Hey, FlyK can we have chicken nuggies again?

Firehouse I'm guessing. But yes, in a communal eating situation where you play to the lowest common denominator is annoying. But I grew up in a "I don't care if you don't like it, its whats for dinner" household. There was no access to after dinner snacks. Eat it or hungry were the options. And guess what, green beans are good for you.

Exactly. People have bid out of stations and shift wars have started over some man-child captain demanding every salad be nothing but iceberg lettuce with ranch. MFer, youre telling me its my turn to cook, and then you want to tell me what to cook?&nbsp;</p>

If it makes you feel any better, a bunch of the World Cup skiing they played live wasn't available on replay at all (had to subscribe elsewhere). I was pretty annoyed because I got back from taking the kids to Killington and thought I'd actually be able to watch the race on replay, but no.

In this context it’s definitely annoying. But also none of your business how others eat. But please judge all you want, which is annoying.
People all over the place just need to mind their own damn business and stop pushing their ways on others. It’s rampant everywhere in this country.
Add some fucking veggies to your iceberg. Pretty easy.

Yeah - FTS. I'm cooking a big batch of orecchiette with Italian sausage and broccoli rabe with a caprese salad. If you don't like it you can make a PB&J or something... :mad:

Not sure what this says about me as a person, but that does kind of make me feel better. Nice to know I'm not the only person getting hosed

That&#39;s fine unless you&#39;re trying to feed them. That probably didn&#39;t occur to you because you never host people.
People who use a vaguely related subject to post an angry irrelevant rant annoy me.

Being fb messenger I can see he saw my messages. No Venmo, no thank you, nothing. Odds of him paying it forward which is what I asked nada.

Sob stories on facebook marketplace (or ebay) are all fake.

Even if they aren't fake...just kidding, they are fake.

. .My judgement is that the world is full of judgemental hypocrital people.. It is annoying that you should expect the forum be any different.

I am judging your judging of other people's judging of other people's judging.

I am annoyed that I had to post in this thread again to have my forum name showing again back in the top 5 non stickey threads

Im annoyed by your thread selection

Yes, this is what I'm talking about. In a broad sense it doesn't annoy me that people are picky, but when their pickiness infringes on everyone else it gets a bit annoying.

The fact that 51 is divisible by 17 is annoying

Ive been on trips where dietary fueling is important and have had adults refuse to eat because they didnt love the taste of something (overcooked, bland, wheatbread instead of white, etc)... and then they hold the group back because they bonk are get hangry. At some point, an active adult needs to understand that not every meal needs to taste great... sometimes you just need to eat for fuel, or because social graces dictate you politely eat a small portion.

At the core of it, i think that many people are just really uncomfortable being uncomfortable. They dont see uncomfrotable situations as temporary and something to just get through, instead it becomes all about their comfort NOW or the situation is unworkable. Its a deeper psych issue of letting emotions irrationally spiral, IMO.

My wife has a friend who does not eat veggies or fruit. full stop. Doesnt cook for herself either... just gets takeout/delivery for every meal and as a high powered lawyer she can afford it easily. She came to a group picnic once and it just so happened that pretty much every food there had veggies in it... so, instead of whining, she just hammered her vape off to the side to kill the hunger pangs. I can conflictedly respect that haha.

My thing#3 is at this very moment experiencing picky eaters not eating enough and thereby holding the group back. He knows that he just needs calories so he eats.

JHFC - don't these people keep "emergency" rations in their pack? I couple candy bars, some sugary gel shit? I always have SOMETHING edible in my pack for blood sugar emergencies.Goddam morans.

Right? I learned that the hard way. Now I throw a couple of bars in my pack, especially flying. I was caught without wheb traveling for work one too many times. For any kind of outdoor adventure it was drilled into my head at a very young age hiking and camping with my parents and then Boy Scouts. Always be prepared. I got lazy on the business travel in my 30s and got stuck on a runway for three hours. My kids all learned from me to throw something, anything in their travel pack.

My kid's situation makes even less sense once you know the scenario. Mind bottling.

I am involved with a lot of trips with group meals -- White Rim, hut trips, etc -- so deal with this often. We try our best to accommodate all dietary preferences/allergies; a taco bar or breakfast burrito bar is always a great choice. But people also are generally more relaxed about their preferences on a trip like that, and the people who are most restrictive also understand their needs and generally ask that if a meal -- or part of a meal -- cannot accommodate them to simply let them know that and they will bring something extra. Not eating isn't an option, because you DO need fuel.

It's rarely a problem, but then we're all adults.

I learned in my 20s that cliff bars do not go bad. Ive bonked while out MTBing or hiking and multiple times scrounged a half-eaten cliff bar out of the bottom of my bag thats been there from multiple seasons ago and its done the trick (if a little sandy/dirty). Now i have a hangry wife and 4 yr old so i have snacks stashed in my car and every bag i own.

I'm bored so please fill in the details so I can also be annoyed.

We're about to host a whole bunch of my wife's friends and I'm still trying to figure out what to do about food. It is peak season here so every dining establishment is packed, plus some of them are pretty budget constrained so we're not eating out every meal at overpriced restaurants (plus there will be our 1 year old and another 3 year old). Several of them won't eat piggies, but the one vegetarian dropped out which makes things a little easier.

Hard to cater to a bunch of different people's preferences across three meals a day. I know what I like for breakfast (children's sugary breakfast cereal with milk please), but if I'm staying somewhere I am going to eat what's provided. Pastries? Ok. Bagels and cream cheese? Sure. Granola and yogurt? Great. Pancakes and eggs? Yes please.
Unfortunately not everyone rolls that way...but I'd rather buy a wide selection of stuff and have you fed than have you get hangry and not have you want to do the cool activity of the day.

At least beef and chicken are on the table and I don't think anyone is going to be very picky about sides/veggies. I'd love to throw a couple pork shoulders on the smoker, but there's still the option to throw a bunch of burgers, beef sausages or chicken on the grill to feed a crowd a low effort meal.

You should go find a goat and throw that over the fire. Make it a family gathering to remember.

These people all met while living/working in Africa years ago, so the goat on a spit would be more like a walk down memory lane rather than a novel experience.

It also makes it all the more maddening if people won't eat whatever is available--y'all literally lived for at least a year -in a country where if you tell them you are a vegetarian and don't eat meat, they'll bring you chicken instead!
