Anyone ever get harrassed for eating lots at work?

[Mr. Black]

Excessive eating seems to catch my co-workers attention. Espcially whenever I crack open my daily cans of tuna. Now when they see me they call me "tuna boy", or I get comments like "wow you sure must like tuna eh?" or "oh your eating again"? I usually retort telling them "no I really don't enjoy it but its good protein you know?" Its starting to piss me off. People just don't get it.

if u opened a can o tuna in my office i'd fire u .... mix that shit up at home and bring a tupperware... it smells so much worse out of the can. ps i love tuna but it's very rude to open a can in a sterile corporate environment.

I don't think you'd win that unemployment battle. I agree though, tuna smells terrible when the can is opened.

My previous jobs gave me shit about eating all the time. At my current one everyone is pretty cool. Sucks when we are too busy with customers to sneak away for 5 mins to stuff my face tho.

just tell em they can let u eat or you're gonna bring shakes and protein fart all over the place.

You'd fire me? You sound like one mean ass boss (if indeed you are actually in a managerial position), hence i would never want to work for you anyways. We have a deisgnated lunch room in which we are able to eat whatever we want.

 

[Mr. Black]

Most people actually don't complain about the smell, rather they are intrigued as to why I eat so much and seem to love tuna (which I really don't).

 

[milo hobgoblin]

They give me shit about the tuna and raw otmeal.

I just point at their gut and laugh

My guys always complain cuz I eat tuna, oysters and sardines all day.

our lifestyle is difficult for other people to understand, and they tend to make fun of it rather than try to understand it. Personally, I think that their attitude is a direct result of them feeling insecure about their own lifestyle.

I use to catch a lot of flak from older, ignorant co-workers. They seemed to get offended that I drank protein drinks and meal replacement powders. They thought that I was strange for not eating bacon, eggs, and real artery clogging food. I was curious as to their behavior, they seemed threatened by my different lifestyle. I'll never understand people. Now, off to the gym where I can exercise, breath deep, sweat, and lift heavy objects instead of bowling or playing cards with the neighbors. In the 80's, we were considered oddballs.

Alright I'm back now. Feeling very aggressive. Need to eat some beaver. No beaver here to eat. So what am I to do?

 

[string_bean00]

I have a rather secluded job so I can eat as I please.

 

[jenscats5]

I get comments too.......about the amount I eat, etc and "Ewwwwww" what are you eating?" blah blah blah......

These are people who are all on "diets" & fat (did you know yogurt INCREASES your metabolism??) but I'm not.....hmmmmmmmmm

 

[GoldenDelicious]

yes i do

apparently its OK to go outside every 20 minutes for a smoke, but mixing a protein shake outside of lunchtime is somehow wrong

ill back you up on opening the tuna at the office. it tastes worse with time, so the sooner you eat it, the better imo

cheers

The 'ew, what are you eating' comment usually stokes my fires. I can't seem to get over it.

Once, while I was exec at a big scary ass catering company (we cooked for 3/4 of a million people my first year) I was presenting some new dishes to the owner. One was this fucking phenominal Potato Crusted Sea Scallops with Leek and Garlic Flan. Had a big crispy nest of fried leeks on the top, real purty like.

So Karen, we can just call her 'Cunt', the sales dyke, sees me go by with that dish and says, 'Ew! What's THAT!??'

I turned, calmly and said 'This? Its called "Suck My Cock", turned and kept walking.

Classic.
