The Flame-Free Confession Thread

Try eating two cans of tuna for lunch. Office monkeys look insulted that you aren’t eating garbage.

Unless they have x-ray vision and can see it through my lunchbox, I’m covered, haha.

I had my 8 hard boiled eggs lunch vetoed by the office while I was running “Building the Monolith”. Ended up having to eat those as dinner and eat my dinner at lunch.

What does that mean? I would have told them to fuck right on off.

They had a legitimate complaint regarding the smell, especially when consumed everyday. I had 2 options; continue to eat eggs everyday and hear them complain about the smell, or not eat eggs and not hear complaints.

I dunno, I try to be considerate in a shared space. It’s part of the reason I have a home gym; so I don’t have to share, haha.

Ya, I understand the consideration part. I just know people heat up a lot of shit that smells god awful all the time in our break room and I’d be royally pissed if some actually had the nerve to say anything about eggs (which don’t smell that bad).

Nah, that’s the thing; I was the only one being an a-hole at that point. Most other folks were abiding by the same “shared space” law.

I don’t think eggs smell bad when you are eating them, but when not, they have an odor. Very sulfuric. The most common comment people would make walking by my office was “Did somebody fart?” Not the best sentiment to be greeted with, haha.

At first I thought you were talking about egg farts. Eight eggs a day would make me highly unpopular in shared space

Never had that issue. I seem to avoid a lot of the digestion issues people have with certain foods. Drank a gallon of milk a day for 6 weeks running “Super Squats” back in college with no gas/bloating issues. Eggs are no issue. Protein shakes no issue. Etc.

At work, I’m ‘the guy who doesn’t eat.’ I’m on a number of hospital committees, most of which meet at midday (and thus include lunch). I never, ever eat the food. There’s nothing particularly wrong with it; I just prefer to save my calories for later in the day, after I’ve lifted. Still, it leads to quizzical looks and comments (or at least it used to; everyone’s pretty much used to it now).

Yeah, all my colleagues give me hell. They don’t fuck with me too much though because I give just as much hell back if not more. Don’t dish if you can’t take. This has shut many a people up real quick.

Sometimes I don’t return my dumbbells to their place ( please don’t crucify me, lol)

Too far!

I regularly use McDonald’s as a pre or post workout meal, particularly the double big mac meal with coke.

I eat 12 eggs (9 white 3 whole) every week day for breakfast not 100% because the macros work out… but because it’s easier to toss the container aside for the next batch.

Context: I have 11 chickens. I had 25 but they usta free range and then the coyotes found out about the chicken buffet

Not a flame… but just curious as to why?

No, the flame is deserved. Even if it’s a home gym.

Yer cause having a bag of white powder on your desk doesn’t raise any comments !! Lol

Well, again; I don’t leave it on the desk. I figure that is what lunch boxes are for.

And nothing I use is white. Vanilla is an awful flavor, haha.
