Vent/My Biggest Pet Peave...

I think my biggest pet peave is when people make comments about what you are eating.

Like - when you are eating something healthy that you wouldn't normally eat, someone in my office will say - ooh salad....like just shut up and don't make a comment.

Then if you are eating something not so healthy, like pizza....they make a comment like "pizza....lots of calories in that"....

This is how my office is anyway...

So I follow a fairly low carb diet....so the guys here were going to dunkin donuts and I asked them to get me a cookie.

They were all like - don't do it! don't do it! You just ate a salad Lauren!"

So what? I had a salad, and now I feel like a cookie! They are the ones who initiated the dunkin donuts run! I don't do this everyday and even if I did- WHO CARES! stay outta my business!!

OK vent over...

It just aggravates me....

Thankfully no one ever says anything where I work! When I was a hairdresser still....a whole other story there! Like they were personally counting my caloric intake for the day!

I use to hide in my office when I would eat Yummy Greasy food! LOL I didn't want to hear the comments. Sadly, those days are over.

I am pregnant (and mind you, I am 19 weeks and lost 13 lbs, and have only gained four total) and my boss came in the other day and said "you better watch what you are eating, you don't want to get too fat even though you are pregnant"

Thanks buddy. Go back to your office and have another cocktailChat Icon

I had a boss who would refuse to let anyone eat Chinese food.

The other boss would buy it for everyone when he was on vacationChat Icon

see, i think that's just overstepping one's boundaries...who is anyone to dictate what is allowed and not allowed in terms of food? Chat Icon

Re: Vent/My Biggest Pet Peave...

This is one of my biggest pet peeves too. My boss ALWAYS makes a comment about what I am eating. Even its just "Oh your having pizza today" YES - I am having pizza, why does it have to be announced?? That's why I wait for him to leave for his daily 2 hour lunch break before I eat. It's so bad that on Friday, my empty pizza box was in the garbage and he STILL had to say "oh you had pizza for lunch today" Chat Icon Leave me alone!

Re: Vent/My Biggest Pet Peave...

Why do they even care what you eat???

What a bunch of losers!!!

If they said stuff like that to me I'd tell them to shut the f**k up and mind your own damn business.
