ever go get your lunch, get 3 or 4 bites into it, and then

[MissMillie]

you decide you would have much preferred to have chosen something else?



*sigh*

1. Oh yeah....Had that happen a few years ago in St Lucia

The copilot and I decided to grab a bite to eat at the airport since our outbound flight was going to be late.

We went to the restaurant and each ordered a chicken roti. It's like a flatbread containing a chicken stew - meat, gravy, veggies, the works. Usually pretty good.

As we were eating, I bit down on something hard. I extracted a piece of bone from my mouth. The copilot said, "I've found some bone in mine too." A few seconds later, he ran into something hard and found a piece of beak.

When I ran across the claw, I decided that maybe I'd had enough roti for the day. Suddenly, that old hot dog that had been in the cooker for weeks was sounding pretty good.

2. yikes

this wasn't an instance where there was anything wrong w/ what I was eating... it just occurred to me that I would have like something else

I made a salad at the salad bar.

I got 4 bites into it and was wishing it was a tuna salad sandwich.

3. Well, at least you don't have someone determining that for you:

There Is Such A Thing As A Free Lunch
Framing Shop | Montreal, Quebec, Canada

(I’m eating lunch at the front desk of our framing shop when I get called to the back. When I return to the front, I notice a customer standing in front of my sandwich at the desk.)

Customer: “Hi.”

Me: “Good afternoon. Is there anything I can help you with today?”

Customer: “No.” *stares at my sandwich*

Me: “Well, are you in need of assistance?”

(The woman suddenly snatches up my sandwich.)

Me: “Ma’am, that’s my lunch. Please give it back to me.”

Customer: “I was walking by and I got hungry.”

Me: “Ma’am, there’s a deli down the street. Please do not eat my lunch.”

Customer: “But it was on the counter. That means it’s complimentary! It’s my sandwich and I’m going to eat it.”

(At this point, my coworker comes out the back.)

Coworker, to me: “Isn’t that your lunch?”

Customer: “It’s my lunch now! MINE.” *starts eating the sandwich* “This has MAYONNAISE in it!”

Me: “Yes, ma’am. Ham and mayo.”

Customer: “I hate mayonnaise! It looks and tastes like sperm!” *throws my sandwich on the floor and runs out the door*

Me: “…What just happened?”

:rofl:

[LisaM]

4. Often!

Which, when you think of it, doesn't really make sense.

[MissMillie]

5. exactly

the salad bar is directly across from the sandwich station. I could have ordered a sandwich just as easily.

7. Only when they put too much cantelope in the fruit salad.
