What the Fu--?

What a day!
The staff lunch room was packed this afternoon. I'm assuming the brisk Fall air drove everyone in. Needless to say, when it's packed to capacity in the staff kitchen, it's like a fight for survival. People are literally elbowing and shoving their way around the drab kitchen. No one bothers to say "excuse me" or "Oh, I'm sorry for cutting you in the Microwave line, go ahead"... nooo, people just push your shit aside (practically on the floor) to get at the sink, stove, mic-wave or what have you. Someone (inadvertently I'm sure, but annoying nevertheless) threw away the most crucial part of my instant Pad Thai lunch. I was MIFFED! It could have been worse I'm sure, this one woman had to go out to BUY her lunch, because someone decided to eat her frozen vegetarian meal. (yikes!) I woulda been pissed... I'm sure she was, but she was able to compose herself, really well. I commend her.
I sat down at the table with my lunch, and this weird spinster bitch, sitting perpendicular from me, who eats nothing but junk and fast foods, (Wendy's, Burger King, Subway, KFC... the works- she says she hates "grown up food" and all veggies and fruit) ... had the unmitigated gall to look at my vegetarian patty and say, "Ugh, a veggie burger" then I go, "um, what's your point?" and she goes, "Well, I don't want to know what they're using to make that look the way it does, it looks like real meat." and I said, "Um, it's called soy, maybe some veggies, who cares?" and she goes, "Um, I don't trust processed foods, sorry." And I said, nodding at her Wendy's bag and pile o' fries, "Um, what you're eating is processed, so what difference does it make." And she goes, "Well, so what, at least it's meat." At that point, I could feel an obscenity teetering on the edge of my tongue, but another co-worker sitting at opposite end of the table cut her to the quick by saying, "Well, I'd rather eat processed veggies than processed meat! You don't know what they're using in those meat patties at the fast food restaurants either." Spinter's mouth formed a tight thin line and she gathered up the remnants of her garbage and walked out.
Why do people have to make snide comments about other people's food? It's uncalled for and it's rude. If you don't like it, then don't fucking buy or eat it! Mind your business and mind your own lunch, and a relaxing hour can be had by all.
-sigh-

I totally agree with your post. I hate when people stare at me or my lunch when I'm eating too. It's so uncomfortable. If they aren't saying "Oh, that looks so fattening." they're turning their noses up. Right on!

I just ate the craziest veggie burgers which had something called "blah blah blah semen" in it. They were so good...before I read the label. But, then I learned those semen things were actually the scientific name for some weird chinese seeds.
Anyways, they were good. Veggie burgers can be good. That's a relief because, as much as I like burgers, "Fast Food Nation" destroyed all joy and desire to munch on diseased shit meat.
And nobody disses what I eat because I eat alone.
Btw...FOUND YOU. You're another grumpasaurus!
Hi Nardac..
I wouldn't say that I'm grumpy, just a tad moody. I am pretty upbeat most of the time and joke a lot, but people can be so obnoxious with their uncouth behaviour patterns, so I felt compelled to bitch about it in a public blog. People at my workplace can be so rude when commenting on what other people are eating. It's either, "ewwww, your lunch stinks." or "ugh, why are you eating that?" shit like that. I try to ignore everyone whilst I'm eating, but this woman was very rude.
Anyway, I am glad that you've stumbled upon my blog, however. I promise to write more "non-grumpasaurus" stuff and I hope you keep reading.
>>>> it's so weird. I had a co-worker who always wanted to know what I was having for lunch... every single day! (small office) When she didn't like what I was eating she'd tell me and suggest I eat something different. "You should try the tuna salad down at Luna Cafe." (I also noticed that these nosey food people tend to be pretty anal.)
