Some people are so gross!

Every Wed. morning, we have fruit in our breakroom. One week it's whole fruit (apples, bananas, pears, oranges) then the next week it's cut of fruit (watermelon, orange, apples, cantelope, pineapple). Luckily, I sit next to the breakroom so I see when it's been set up and go grab some right away.

I was just in there getting some water and this guy comes in for coffee and on his way out he picks up a peice of fruit with his fingers. Ewwwwwww! Grab a fork, dude! Nobody wants to eat whatever's on your hands!

Maybe it's just me but that's so disrespectful!!

People are gross.

I actually saw a guy stick his finger in a wedding cake & lick off the frosting once.

That's would gross me out too....in our coporate training sessions, they provide us sandwich lunches set up on trays on long tables and there were 3 trays of sandwiches. I was in line behind this one guy who grabbed a ham and cheese that was on the first tray and then proceeded to spread mustard on the bread (while holding up the line). When he was finished, he started moving along and noticed that the 3rd tray was where all of the salad sandwiches were (chicken salad, tuna, egg salad etc). He PUTS THE HAM AND CHEESE BACK ON THE FIRST TRAY and grabs a chicken salad. ARE YOU KIDDING ME.

I was almost too grossed out to eat.

Once in a while when there are big emergencies at my job and we cannot leave they send food down, anyway- one time they sent down egg sandwiches, this one lady (I use the term loosely) opened one sandwich and took a bite. She then decided that she didn't want that one and she wrapped it back up and put it back on the tray!!! How gross is that?!!! Quite a few winners there I must admit. Mostly I cannot stand people who lick their fingers constantly and then type on the keyboards! We do not have our own personal terminals so eeeeewwwwww! I always wipe my station down when I sit down.

A women I used to work with would do that all the time! We kept a bag of chips out sometimes and everyone would pour some into plastic cups. Not this one woman! Oh, no. She thought we should be forced to partake of her saliva. Hand would go in the bag, chips would fall into her gaping mouth, fingers would go in her mouth to lick off the salt, hand would go back in bag.

Needless to say, that was the end of that. No more chips.

I'll go you one better. We have a girl who licks the salt off of chips and then puts the licked chips on a napkin or in a cup. It is so disgusting. We call her chip licker. She had gastric bypass surgery and says thta she can't eat the chips but she likes the salt. No I do not feel bad for her because she came out of surgery and just ate smaller portions of M&M's and the such. She also told my girlfriend that she was going to take the skin off her KFC (my girlfriend's lunch!) so she could eat it! When my friend warned her that she better not she reached in my friend's lunch and took a chicken strip instead!!! Who does that?!!! She already ate and nobody offered her any of their food. She just decided that she was going to eat it.

At my old company I used to have to cover for the receptionist dueing her lunch/breaks. She was constantly eating at her desk and there were food crumbs and smears everywhere - on the desk, chair, keyboard, phone - it was so gross.

Gross! My other pet peeve is people that pick up a bagel/muffin/donut, cut it in half and then put the other half back in the pile. Gross!!! Find someone to share it with or throw it away!!

When we had bagels in the office, there were a select few who only wanted 1/2 a bagel, muffin, donut, etc. and would just tear it apart with their hands. By the end of the morning, there would just be a pile of halves. These are the same people who would tear off the crusts from pizza and leave the rest of the slice. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!

I'm certainly all for only taking what you will eat and I hate the thought of wasting food, but if you have to manhandle something to portion out what you want, just take the whole thing!
