Eating foods other people dislike

Why do some idiots act like their taste in food is absolute law that must apply to everybody? Like if I get something and somebody else doesn't like to eat that, they're all like, "Ewwww, that's nasty", or "gross, I don't want any of that". Well, that's awfully convenient seeing as I had no intention of giving any to you anyway, dumbass. Seriously, why bitch about what other people are eating?

I guess the same can be said about taste in anything. Like all the idiots who get their knickers in a twist over other people enjoying Twilight. Yes, I get it, you don't like it, , but nobody is making you watch it, so STFU (unless you have a girlfriend, but then, I bet she didn't appreciate being dragged to watch the summer blockbuster action movie either, so still STFU).

I guess my point is, why do people care so much about other people liking what they don't?

inb4 lock.

I agree with you, though. There are too many people who just bitch about food they don't like when others eat them. The people who act like you describe seem to hate the thought of anyone ever enjoying their hated foodstuff, and it makes them sick because they imagine themselves eating it. That's my theory, anyway.

Wait, you eat knickers? That's disgusting!

Dude, those are just the packaging. Don't eat the wrapper, man.

Nomnomnom.

Wait, Twilight is wrapped in knickers?

That makes a lot of sense, actually.

...took me a second to realize what you were getting at

Hurr hurr.

It's when I think of stuff like that that I realize that I'm Not So Above It All and actually quite immature, despite how much I try to convince people otherwise.

I'm just a big kid.

A big, drunken, violently deranged kid.

So, Adam Sandler in That's My Boy?

Maybe. I'll have to wtch that now. Damn you.

I prefer to think in terms of Billy Murray in Caddyshack.

I say this because I care about you: Do not watch it. Bill Murray levels of adult-child...ness is perfectly acceptable.

For some reason, nobody around me likes olives at all while I enjoy them greatly.

Black olives or green olives?

Because yeah, black olives are nasty usually.

Black olives are delicious. Green olives are just nasty.

All olives are delightful.

Except on pizza. Then they're vile and disgusting.

Blasphemy!

Really, it depends on the way the olives are prepared for me. I can eat green olives from the jar, but I can only really enjoy black olives if they've been used in a salad or cooked on a pizza.

Well, sometimes when ( in our ultimately subjective perception) something tastes awesome, we want other people to taste it. That is the case when I cook unusual stuff.

x3 Actually, I had green olives on a pizza in Turkey and found them surprisingly delicious. Can't stand them on/in anything else though.

As for food, I hate food dislikes when I'm trying to cook for a large group of people. I'm more forgiving when it comes to allergies/diabetes, because it's not like they can help that. Personally, if someone's having food that disgusts me, I just don't eat any.

Black olives in general. Though I don't mind green olives.

I love green olives and eat them by the jar. Black ones taste like the bogies you get from scuba diving in the Med. Yeah.

My wife disagrees about my being like Bill Murray in Caddyshack. She say's I'm more like a mix of Bluto and Travis Bickle.

Not sure how to take that.

Yes.

@OP

Well, when people find something disgusting then they express it. I'm pretty sure there are people who eat shit, but I think it's alright for me to say "Eww" to that. XD

Do dogs count as people? Because, if so, I know someone like that.

Either way, I know someone like that...

Aww, I kinda liked Olives on my pizza...
