Was there a breakfast food law passed or something?

Mustang · 05-31-2006, 08:00 AM

I mean.. seriously.. why is it every time that I eat something other than eggs, a bagel or a donut for breakfast someone in my office has to make a comment?

So, I ate pizza for breakfast.. ohhhhhhhhhh... whoop-a-dee-friggin-do. I don't need to hear -

"You're eating THAT for breakfast"
"Pizza? At THIS hour"
"I don't know how you could eat THAT at THIS hour"

Yes, usually that or this is emphasized at some point in the conversation.
Although, I think you need a response back from me in order for it to be a conversation unless you considering me rolling my eyes as part of a conversation...

Actually, why do people generally feel the need to comment at all on anything anyone is eating?

PackerFanatic · 05-31-2006, 08:01 AM

They do make breakfast pizza...but even regular pizza rocks for breakfast.

Losers.

condors · 05-31-2006, 08:05 AM

i don't get it at all my wife makes the same comments to me, we go to this nice 24/7 diner, sometimes i want pancakes and eggs at midnight, sometimes i want a cheesburger what is the big deal

Maybe they want to have sex with you and are just trying to strike up conversation.

Mota · 05-31-2006, 08:12 AM

I went on a business trip earlier this month and one of my co-workers did nothing but put down everybody's eating choices the whole week. Eventually I just snapped and told him that no one was forcing him to eat the same stuff and he kinda shut up for the rest of the week. But geez, people should mind their own business.

Mota · 05-31-2006, 08:12 AM

And no, he was not trying to have sex with us.

timmynausea · 05-31-2006, 08:15 AM

Hold on... let me see if I've got this straight... You had pizza at THIS hour?!?!

Why limit it to eating? People here and I imagine most everywhere, feel the need to give me their opinion on just about everything-- baby names, or color to paint the baby's room, or any other damn thing that is not affecting my work performance, so why should it matter?

Pumpy Tudors · 05-31-2006, 08:22 AM

I know what you guys are talking about! Just the other day, my wife was all like, "You want to put that WHERE? At THIS hour?"

stevew · 05-31-2006, 08:41 AM

Yeah, I hate it when i go to mcdonalds in the morning and I can't get a burger, cause it's breakfast.

When I used to work the Breakfast grill, I would always applaud the guy with balls enough to go for the 8 oz mushroom onion burger at 8AM.

The breakfast food mafia needs to go.

I think our local Burger King still has a 'If its on the menu, you can order it whenever" policy..

MizzouRah · 05-31-2006, 08:53 AM

I eat a boring Nutragrain bar every morning.

I think I need to pickup some of those breakfast pockets.

Raiders Army · 05-31-2006, 09:20 AM

The only time I criticize someone is when I go out to eat with my office. We have two people who are allergic to everything. We went to Uno's Chicago Grill and one of them ordered a Cheeseburger...hold the bun (allergic to wheat), tomatoes, lettuce, onions (allergic), and cheese (allergic). Why not just say I'll have the hamburger patty instead of what you don't want?

I also hate going to eat with them because they're very specific with their orders. That increases the chance of someone being pissed off and doing something to my food.

Most definately. I hate specific ordering people...don't go out to eat if your tastes are so limited, basically non-existent.

eh, fuck being a team player. You just moved there right? Tell them now that you don't want to go out cause they make specific orders, and you fear for the integrity of your personal food.

Raiders Army · 05-31-2006, 10:13 AM

I'm moving in two weeks...so I won't have to deal with it in the future. There are other numerous reasons why I don't want to eat with them, but to get back to topic, my technique is to ridicule them as they order.

Franklinnoble · 05-31-2006, 10:31 AM

Jack in the Box lets you order cheeseburgers for breakfast.

Abe Sargent · 05-31-2006, 07:30 PM

I hate people like you describe. People always do stuff like that in offices. One of my pet peeves is this:

I walk in with some food. Typically food I just ordered. Let's say some Chinese. What will someone say? At least one person, often more will say, "Thanks for bringing me some food!" And then they will think its funny.

First of all, its about as funny as "Why did the Chicken cross the road?" Secndly, I've heard it a zillion times. I didn't even think it was that funny in Kindergarten, I certainly don't now. But there they are, telling the same stupid joke every time I order food.

The worst part is that it is offensive. If I laugh, then I have humored bad taste. If I don't, then I have an attitude. If I snap and sarcasticly attack the blatent lack of wit, then I have social issues. It creates a lose-lose-lose scenario.

Kind of along those lines, I always get somebody pissed off if I didn't ask them if they wanted anything when I went. Get off your lazy ass and get your own shit.

Reminds me of those conversations I have about 80 times a week when I run in to someone around the office who I only know casually. It usually goes something like this:

Any day except Friday or Monday:

Me: Hi, how's it going?
Them: Not bad, at least there are only X days till Friday!

Friday:

Me: Hi, how's it going?
Them: Not bad, thank god it's Friday!

Monday:

Me: Hi, how's it going?
Them: Not bad, for a Monday morning!

I really can't stress enough how much this bugs me for some reason.

Spoken like a person who hasn't had a good slice of pizza

. Not blaming you, as you are in Dallas. But, back when I was in Jersey, the best part about pizza for dinner was the hot delicious pizza right out of the oven for dinner!

Oh, and, of course, the torture of smelling that delicious pizza without being able to eat yet while driving it back home.

Mustang · 05-31-2006, 10:38 PM

Only thing worse than those food dicks are those perfectly healthy bastards that take the elevator down one floor.

bosshogg23 · 05-31-2006, 10:48 PM

Gotta say ive never seen a McDonalds or Burger King that WONT give you a burger or chicken sandwich whenever you want it. Most of those restaurants at the same time wont give you a breakfast sandwich at 10:31 AM though. Maybe its a big cost difference, no real idea though.

Front Office Midget · 05-31-2006, 11:05 PM

I work at McDonald's.

We only have so many heated slots to keep food. During breakfast, they're all used for breakfast food- eggs, biscuits, steak, sausage, muffins, bagels. There's no room to keep hamburger meat or quarter pounder meat or chicken or fish.... That's why you can't order lunch during breakfast.

There is a McDonalds off 43 near Denmark that has the best made freakin fries of any McDonalds I've been at..

Not that this has anything to do with the thread but, since you are from Manitowoc, thought I'd throw that out there just in case you work in that one.

I have an answer for this that's always worked.

I always respond by sticking out the food, "hey, sure, want it? I brought some food in but I really didn't want it. I was in the mood for fresh kill so I got this instead but I do have food and I'd hate for anyone to go hungry, so here, enjoy. It's on me."

Never once had anyone take me up on it or ever ask that lame joke again.

The trick is the ability to master the sincerity angle. Most of the time people can't really tell if I'm serious or if I'm joking and since I am ready to go with whichever choice serves me best in the situation they are afraid to test me like this.

korme · 06-01-2006, 01:55 AM

The fact that you analyzed a sarcastic comment like thanks for bringing me some food is borderline pathetic. Does no one brush shit like this off? Do you guys really take that to heart? Really?
