Fuck bitches, eat bread

OP after never talking to this person again:
Okay
Didn’t expect that ending.
“Everybody knows […]” means my parent(s) had some weird or strict rules and life lessons that I had hounded into me which I internalized into my very being and never questioned, and now I have unspoken and often unrealistic expectations of people and the world that no one has absolutely any reason to know about.
This should be the reply.
Nah it should be “bye”
¿Por qué no los dos?
Guess they love cold bread!
Genuinely, I believe this originates from their family preventing them from filling up on bread at restaurants.
Ehh … It’s more likely etiquette to not descend on the rolls like a starving Labrador retriever. Much of manners is about self restraint and making oneself ‘small’. The idea is that you wait a minute or two, so it’s not like being at the Chinese food buffet when a fresh load of sweet and sour pork comes out. Everyone piling in for the rolls is undignified. It’s related to the idea that even if you really want that last roll, you ask if anyone else would like it before snatching it for yourself.
… but judging someone for grabbing one when they come out? Pretty prissy.
If rent is more than 10% of my income, I AM a starving Labrador.
Families really mess some people up with their made up rules. Meet a girl that was raised that you can’t talk at the dinner table. She thought it was normal to sit down, eat an entire meal, and then get up in dead silence.
I think you’re right. I guess they had parents who were big on setting rules, but not on justifying them.
I’m pretty sure my parents throttled my bread intake at restaurants when I was very young for the reason you state, but they accompanied their directive with a “don’t fill up before you get your main course” justification. So I didn’t assimilate it as a rule of etiquette, and instead understood the underlying logic.
“After seeing you enjoy good food as it was intended, I don’t think I want to continue this. Everyone knows food must only be eaten after you upload pictures of it to Instagram and get a certain number of interactions.”
Its called a stupid excuse.
“What am I suppose to Jerry!? Just ADMIRE it??”
Dodged a bullet, etc., but still, why? What’s the thinking here as to why you should wait to start eating the bread?
To signal wealth
Yeah, wait for the bread to stop being warm and fresh before you eat.
I thought it was five seconds. Five minutes maybe for the last roll if you’ve had two or three already. I can’t stand it when everyone is so damn polite not wanting to take the last one of a shared food item to the point of allowing it to go to waste. Give it a fair pause but then take that last roll or cookie or whatever if you want it.
I’d reply with ‘I don’t like people who can’t use capital letters anyway’ since we’re going with unimportant things.
no capital letters is OK, but you gotta capitalize “I”. Otherwise you’re lookin at someone who’s gonna read you their bad poetry at some point.
“We have a rule, if you order the nachos to share, one person can’t just eat all the fully loaded nachos.”
Unless they’re all stuck together, and then it counts as one big nacho.
TRANSLATION: “You have to choose! It’s either me or the bread!”
Ok serious question. I live in a country where they don’t serve you free bread.
What do you do if you eat all the delicious bread then you aren’t hungry anymore?
I had this real life scenario happen when I was in Canada and we felt obligated to order mains even though we didn’t want them.
Is it socially acceptable to pay for your drinks and leave?
No, it’s not. You just take the food home and then eat it later.
Hmm yeah that’s what we figured. We were on holiday, we couldn’t take food home to eat later so just forced the food down then didn’t eat again for 24 hours 😆
Yeah, we go to Spaghetti Factory (Canada) and fill up on bread and just tip the main course directly into leftovers containers sometimes.
Somebody read a post about negging but couldn’t think of a real thing to be an asshole about.
