Got it. Took photos. Will transcribe next week.
Bunch of Russians and Texans doing cabinets.
But what about the conversation? I want to know how awkward it might have been.
If the music is terrible, you can do the same thing but instead of giving back the phone when youāre done - run away wiith it.

Excellent solution!
Perhaps the most first world problem of all time coming your way, proceed with caution.
Whatās the thing at the bottom of a stem of a tomato? Looks like a tomato belly button.
If you get a sandwich which has slices of tomato and the prick person making your sandwich puts the slice of tomato with the tomatoes belly button in it without cutting it out. You are snookeredā¦ You either,
- Eat that part, which I assume is hard and tastes of plant ass
- Complain, in which case you are complaining about a slice of tomato - perhaps the most petty issues of all time so you look like an asshat
- Take out the piece, risk taking out half your filling with it. You then have an entire area of your sandwich with no tomato
- Remove the bit yourself and we all know once you take something out of a sandwich there is no returning it in without ruining the taste.
One day I will just take the piece up and yell āSEE THIS?!?! WOULD YOU PUT THAT IN YOUR SANDWICH, YOU ASSHOLE?!?!?ā then throw it in their face, and just take the public shaming that will come with it.

I agree with the overall sentiment, but Iāll remove the offending piece myself. I have no problem taking that sammich apart and making it right.
What I really need is one of those apple slicer thingies that cores and slices in one press, except razor sharp for use on tomatoes. Or a paring knife.
Tomatoes suck this time of year anyways. They are all artificially ripened at this point.

Itās the stigma ā¦ but belly button works just fine

It doesnāt usually make it into my sandwiches because I pop it into my mouth as Iām slicing the tomato. I donāt mind it in sandwiches for the belly button (lol), but the skin side is slippery and often serves to destabilize things, depending on type of sandwich. Worse for me is to find an unripe tomato slice in my sandwich, or one which has been poorly cored.
If youāre using cut tomatoes for something else, e.g. salad, do you throw that bottom part away?

For salads, I quarter the tomato then cut those quarters in half. I then slice the stigma off each individual piece and discard.
I then throw in 2 or 3 of the pieces, then 2 or 3 are cut in half again and thrown in and the remainder are sliced in random sizes (thereās a reason I donāt like making salad to go with takeout lol)
For slices, I start at the bottom. That pieces gets discarded and I slice until I think Iāll get a bit of green then I discard that remaining part. I also prefer a paper thin slice to a thick one but that requires me staying on top of my knife sharpening duties.
I am pretty wasteful with tomatoes

Are they out of Lejeune? 1/4 Thatās Cali right? I was with Mals-31 in good ol Beaufort.
How the fuck do you guys remember your MOS?
Someone asked my CO the other day (and, in my defense, Iāve had a few, having moved around) and I was completely blank. I literally forgot all that shit the second I didnāt need it.
And mind you, I am currently O-4 in a semi-active reserve position, so I probably should remember.
Ha! I remember mine and 0311, but thatās about it.
