I had to break my wife of such silly habits. She still puts apples and citrus fruits in the fridge. If I plan on having some fruit I have to take it out an hour before I want to eat it … needless to see I have gotten in the habit of thinking ahead to at least my next piece of food I eat. Like I’ll eat my breakfast (eggs, usually) then think, hmm what will I want in like an hour or so? I’ll take out an apple so it can get to room temp before I eat it.
I HATE cold bananas. Sometimes my wife’ll still put bananas in the fridge - she says “they last longer” … then I say “no shit, you know I won’t eat them at any real rate b/c I hate cold bananas.” She’s diabolical.
My solution to this is to not use shaker bottles. Fwiw- I discovered that you can cut off the top of a 500ml. water bottle and it works nicely as a funnel for bottles that have milk or gatorade sized neck/caps. Then if they get sour you can just chuck it.
About 2 in. down into the 500ml. bottle gives a nice cup to fill with protein powder and whatnot, and the shorter, more stout nozzle doesn’t clot up from the powders. Occasionally if it does, it can be poked clear with a butter knife or spoon handle or something.
Fruit? Yes, tastes much better cold - some exceptions (e.g. banana)
Unopened ketchup? Yes, tastes much better cold
Potatoes? Nope, won’t they sprout or something in the fridge?
Avocado? Yes, as with all berries, they taste better cold. Only half true, I think they spoil faster in cold so I only put cut ones in the fridge where they oxidize slower.
I disagree. I don’t think cold ketchup is bad but I prefer room temp ketchup to refridgerated.
They’ll sprout outside the fridge too. As long as they’re firm they’re good. If they start to get a little squishy, time to chop up and throw into the compost pile
Again, I disagree - I like avocado at room temp. To each their own though. I don’t dislike cooled avo, prefer room temp
People that throw away bananas as soon as they have a spec of brown on the outside. That. Is. Not. Off!
Also people that live and die by sell by dates on food. That cheese was literally aged for months / years and is, by design, off, but the ‘best before’ says it goes bad on Friday so in the bin it goes…
This doesn’t really piss me off, I just find it peculiar and somewhat disappointing to my younger self who thought adult professional life wouldn’t include this quirk as much as it does:
I find it somewhat odd, however understandable, the amount of casual conversations in the corporate world that revolve around Disney movies. Not even in the context of “My kid watched (______) yesterday” … but more nuanced conversations about characters in the movies. Maybe it’s b/c I don’t have kids yet but at any given time I’m sure I can find a conversation in the office about this.
What I find strange is these are adults. I guess my preconceived notion of what adults should talk about casually in the office stems from television and entertainment. All I have to say is tv and movies are bullshit. Aside from Office Space, there isn’t one show I’ve seen that resembles actual day to day office life. I’ll give The Office a pass, they’re close enough.
I also find it peculiar the amount of grown ass people who still have to ask to go to the bathroom. I was pissing this morning and there was an empty stall (bathroom has a urinal and commode - I was using the urinal) and a kid, probably mid 20’s waited for me to vacate the urinal rather than go piss in the stall. I thought that was fuckin’ weird and slightly off-putting. C’mon homie, you’re in the big boy world now - if there’s an empty place to piss acceptably you fuckin’ take it. No one cares.
Shared bathrooms are just awful places. We have a seat smearer at work… must get some weird kick out of it as it’s near daily and it is in the stall that faces the door so you’re gonna end up looking at it just by walking into the bathroom.
Thanksgiving gatherings being ruined by widespread arguments and disrespect.
Why dafuq we do this every year??
