All hail the bread.

OP after never talking to this person again:
Okay
Guess they love cold bread!
Genuinely, I believe this originates from their family preventing them from filling up on bread at restaurants.
I remember meeting someone in high school that was confused that everyone was eating and drinking in the same meal. Because in their house and extremely limited world view, you EAT. Then you leave the table and go DRINK.
Ehh … It’s more likely etiquette to not descend on the rolls like a starving Labrador retriever. Much of manners is about self restraint and making oneself ‘small’. The idea is that you wait a minute or two, so it’s not like being at the Chinese food buffet when a fresh load of sweet and sour pork comes out. Everyone piling in for the rolls is undignified. It’s related to the idea that even if you really want that last roll, you ask if anyone else would like it before snatching it for yourself.
… but judging someone for grabbing one when they come out? Pretty prissy.
I think you’re right. I guess they had parents who were big on setting rules, but not on justifying them.
I’m pretty sure my parents throttled my bread intake at restaurants when I was very young for the reason you state, but they accompanied their directive with a “don’t fill up before you get your main course” justification. So I didn’t assimilate it as a rule of etiquette, and instead understood the underlying logic.
“Everybody knows […]” means my parent(s) had some weird or strict rules and life lessons that I had hounded into me which I internalized into my very being and never questioned, and now I have unspoken and often unrealistic expectations of people and the world that no one has absolutely any reason to know about.
This should be the reply.
Nah it should be “bye”
That is a red flag text.
“After seeing you enjoy good food as it was intended, I don’t think I want to continue this. Everyone knows food must only be eaten after you upload pictures of it to Instagram and get a certain number of interactions.”
“What am I suppose to Jerry!? Just ADMIRE it??”
That wasn’t the real reason.
Also, hot bread is fantastic.
I’m guessing in this case the real reason is self-sabotage.
Massaged the butter into the bread with his bare hands without breaking eye contact. At least blink so they don’t think you’re a threat.
‘you have shit on your head’
‘it’s chocolate!’
‘oh thank fuck’
‘can I come in now’
‘no’
I’d reply with ‘I don’t like people who can’t use capital letters anyway’ since we’re going with unimportant things.
no capital letters is OK, but you gotta capitalize “I”. Otherwise you’re lookin at someone who’s gonna read you their bad poetry at some point.
She’s confusing the rule about eating food dropped on the floor. SMH. 😔
That’s outside floor, inside is 5 hours.
Nice, dodged a bullet
Yeah, wait for the bread to stop being warm and fresh before you eat.
TRANSLATION: “You have to choose! It’s either me or the bread!”
Oh that’s easy
“We have a rule, if you order the nachos to share, one person can’t just eat all the fully loaded nachos.”
Unless they’re all stuck together, and then it counts as one big nacho.
Whaaaaaaaat? Bewildered expression
Ok serious question. I live in a country where they don’t serve you free bread.
What do you do if you eat all the delicious bread then you aren’t hungry anymore?
I had this real life scenario happen when I was in Canada and we felt obligated to order mains even though we didn’t want them.
Is it socially acceptable to pay for your drinks and leave?
No, it’s not. You just take the food home and then eat it later.
Hmm yeah that’s what we figured. We were on holiday, we couldn’t take food home to eat later so just forced the food down then didn’t eat again for 24 hours 😆
Yeah, we go to Spaghetti Factory (Canada) and fill up on bread and just tip the main course directly into leftovers containers sometimes.
This happened when I went to America many moons ago, not with bread but regular food.
We went to this restaurant and you order you main like steak and fries. Then you get a buffet starter and I swear to god it had any food you can imagine. Suffice to say I ate so much I couldn’t even start my main when it came.
I’d never seen such large humans as when I went to the USA. Breakfast was similar to with all you can eat.
