‘One time I had so much fuckin money I couldn’t get my wallet to close, I tried forcing it and shoving it into my pocket anyways and it was really uncomfortable the whole ride to the bank’

‘My husband was the manager of a bakery that sold slices of cheesecake in all different flavors and tiramisu. At the end of the second day they had to throw them all out and make fresh ones. So we had boxes of cheesecakes every single night for ten years. I have zero sweet tooth. LOL Give me olives!’

‘There’s an ice cream place by me that’s known for their “large portions”, which I did not know before I went there. So I go for a walk down there on a hot day and order a “single” only to watch in horror as the single became at least 8 scoops with half pouring over the top of the cup.

‘I was able to get a second cup and dump the towering scoops into it and both cups were still overflowing. I ate what I could and had to carry the rest of the melting ice cream home.’

‘I went to a bar with a friend and ordered tater tots. I ordered very explicitly, just the tots. the potato, nothing else. I have IBS and I basically never eat out anymore, ever, because if my food is contaminated I’m in pain for days.

‘She brings them out and they are covered with cheese. like, an egregious amount of cheese. and im like….bruh i cant eat these. and she goes “i even asked him (the chef) for extra cheese!” and i was like “…i asked for no cheese….” I felt so bad. I was just like…I can’t eat these. This is poison to me.

‘Looked/smelled good though…..which didn’t make it better.’

‘I was once very sick and begged my boyfriend to get me Campbell chicken noodle soup. He decided I deserved good chicken soup and made a big pot of homemade soup with egg noodles and lots of veggies and big pieces of chicken.

‘Which would have been great if I’d had a cold. I specifically wanted Campbell’s chicken noodle soup because I’d been throwing up for two days and needed the blandest, simplest food available. No way I could have kept his soup down.

‘He couldn’t believe I wanted “canned crap” over the “real stuff” and basically accused me of being uncultured and low class.

‘He never did understand that the problem wasn’t in the taste or how healthy it was; it was literally just what my stomach could and couldn’t hold.

‘Edit: For the people worried I’m still with someone who called me “uncultured and low class,” I should have said “boyfriend at the time.” We broke up long ago.’

‘I used my entire bonus for our wedding and honeymoon, and part of it was on an insanely fancy black tie dinner in the Canary Islands. It was a three course meal, so I figured the portions would be decent.

‘The first course was a salad. Don’t get me wrong, it was REALLY good. All the veggies were perfect, it was crunchy and crisp, and the Balsamic they used was to this day the best I had. But it was TINY. Like…it was served in a bowl legitimately no bigger than a teacup. Two forkfuls and it was gone. And when the main course came, I was excited, because it was roast duck. Ladies and gentlemen, hold out your thumb. THAT was the size of the piece of duck we got. Literally over in one bite.

‘It was soooooooooooo good. Like, thinking about it makes my mouth water. But it was nothing! And then dessert, which was a Canadian sorbet. It was made with honey and lemon, but it came out in a little glass maybe the size of two or three shot glasses.

‘The entire meal was maybe four or five fork/spoonfuls. It was unbelievably delicious, but I hadn’t eaten all day in preparation for this, so my wife, who was wearing the most beautiful gown, and me in a tux, walked our asses down to a Burger King by the beach and gorged ourselves on cheeseburgers and chicken fries lol.’

‘I rent a car 1 week a month for work travel and after becoming regulars with the attendant at the rental place, one time they said thanks for their loyalty to them and gave me a free upgrade to the nicest car they had, some sort of high end super fast BMW car.

‘Very nice gesture of them, it would’ve been like double or triple the price if I had booked that directly. But as a 6+ ft. tall large man, crawling and squeezing into that tiny thing all week was such a pain. It was nice and super nimble, but I just didn’t fit in it and would’ve preferred some Rav4 or Ford Escape or whatever crossover/SUV that had more room.’

‘I got a new tattoo earlier today and specifically said I wanted just the outline and exactly like the stencil.

‘Well, the artist decided to be nice and shade it and add some extra details. The tattoo looks wonderful and she didn’t charge me extra for all the extra work she did but I hate it.

‘The shading she did was all wrong for the colors I eventually wanted for it and now the white parts are black and she did it before I even realized what she was doing. And even though she went above and beyond she never informed me that she was going to change anything and now I have to live with it.

‘I cried before I was even completely out the door when I left.’
