AIBU to consider it extremely rude? and worse becuase I am then forced to defend it when I just wanna say 'oh do **** off'
[i]'Oooh chicken, didn't you have that yesterday?'[/i] yeah I like chicken, okay!
[i]'hungry are you?'[/i] lol. yeah I'm missing my evening meal as I'm going out cycling or perhaps I feel like being a glutton, p off.
[i]'what the hell is that michael?'[/i] it's last night's spag bol that's been sloshed around in a tupperware box in my bag all morning, okay!

why don't I just come round your house and comment on the state of your bathroom or your wife's face? 😆 anyway, this is lighthearted.

Yeah, it annoys me too. The other one: When checkout people comment on what I'm buying for lunch grrrrrrr. Yesterday, I took in a packed lunch, but went across the road to pick up additional yogurt and fruit. The checkout person comments on my "light" lunch, at which point I'm then forced to justify my lunch habit.

I am a vegan and no one ever comments on what I am eating
Never hear - EEEEWWWWW what is that or it would be nice if you put meat in it

On the plus side no one ever steals it from the fridge

I generally have a variation on the same thing every day, a packet Pasta 'n' Sauce thing. Reason, it's easy, it's filling, and there aren't a lot of other options.

Someone will feel fit to comment, oh, twice a week maybe. Every week. I've been here ten years. I'm going to go all Falling Down one day.

Top Tip :

Amaze and confound your work colleagues by having chicken for your lunch one day , changing your name to Hughie and then having pea and ham soup for lunch the next day. They won't believe how clever you are.*

As you're a vegan junkyard no one gets chance to ask you what you're eating as you will have told them already

I would definitely eat meat for you

FWIW I have literally no idea who eats meat in my office* as they literally never ever mention this to me or ever say how tasty it is or how they could not live without it \nd they certainly never say how much they are looking fwd to the roast dinner on roast dinner day - as only vegans ever mention food - do you meat eat eaters like bacon I have always wondered as no one has ever said?

* I dont work in one BTW

I mentioned it once before but i think I got away with it as the meat eater took it with the usual diplomatic charm that I have come to expect from those who eat the flesh of the dead 😉

At my old place a group of us used to go out and get fish or pie and chips on a Friday and take them into the work canteen.

Everyone would be around like they'd never seen chips before.

"Oooh, they look nice"

"Oooh what you got there?"

Then the MD (who was a bellend) would arrive and do a nauseating faux-matey "Oh go on, give us a chip" and take one.

We started driving to laybys and random dogging car parks to sit in the car (if winter) or out on garden chairs to eat.

I'd rather sit in car and stink it out with chips than go through the crap in the canteen.

I only tend to mention what a work colleague is eating if, driven by a human desire to engage with the people around me at least once a day, they are so completely devoid of any sort of personality or interests that I'm bereft of anything else to say.

My favourite comment on a meal at work was made about my breakfast. I'd ridden about 30 miles in and sat down with a bowl of cereal. One of my rather less energetic and more rotund colleagues commented "blimey, that's a large portion". I'm surprised I could eat at all after biting my tongue.
