Its called a stupid excuse.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 16 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Dodged a bullet, etc., but still, why? What's the thinking here as to why you should wait to start eating the bread?

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 33 minutes ago

Only the poors enjoy bread enough to reach for it immediately.

[–] CoffeeSoldier@sh.itjust.works 17 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

I thought it was five seconds. Five minutes maybe for the last roll if you've had two or three already. I can't stand it when everyone is so damn polite not wanting to take the last one of a shared food item to the point of allowing it to go to waste. Give it a fair pause but then take that last roll or cookie or whatever if you want it.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 33 minutes ago

I mean I prefer to have a roll while they're still warm.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 3 points 6 hours ago

I give everyone an easy out in that situation, because the people I eat with just look at me by default to take the last one. It did take a while of me saying, "Well if no one else wants it, I'll take it," to get to that point.

One person's red flags are another person's dodged bullets.

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

I feel like this has to be a guy writing this to a woman right? There's no chance that it's the other way around.

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, wait for the bread to stop being warm and fresh before you eat.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 74 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

"Everybody knows [...]" means my parent(s) had some weird or strict rules and life lessons that I had hounded into me which I internalized into my very being and never questioned, and now I have unspoken and often unrealistic expectations of people and the world that no one has absolutely any reason to know about.

"What am I suppose to Jerry!? Just ADMIRE it??"

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

The general thing to do is to peruse the menu to find what you want first to get that out of the way as the wait staff can be pretty quick when you first sit down. If the bread won't distract you during, go for it. You just really want to get your order in when they come by as it could turn into a while before they come back.

They were probably taught something like that, but it became so corrupted that the entire reasoning was lost, leaving only an arbitrary wait time.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 19 points 9 hours ago

Nice, dodged a bullet

I guarantee whoever wrote that will be single for their entire life.

[–] MeatPilot@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Don't worry, they probably wrote it to themselves for internet likes.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago

...Not that that makes it less true.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 49 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Guess they love cold bread!

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 47 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

Genuinely, I believe this originates from their family preventing them from filling up on bread at restaurants.

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 4 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Families really mess some people up with their made up rules. Meet a girl that was raised that you can't talk at the dinner table. She thought it was normal to sit down, eat an entire meal, and then get up in dead silence.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 24 points 11 hours ago

I remember meeting someone in high school that was confused that everyone was eating and drinking in the same meal. Because in their house and extremely limited world view, you EAT. Then you leave the table and go DRINK.

That is a red flag text.

"After seeing you enjoy good food as it was intended, I don't think I want to continue this. Everyone knows food must only be eaten after you upload pictures of it to Instagram and get a certain number of interactions."

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 11 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Ok serious question. I live in a country where they don't serve you free bread.

What do you do if you eat all the delicious bread then you aren't hungry anymore?

I had this real life scenario happen when I was in Canada and we felt obligated to order mains even though we didn't want them.

Is it socially acceptable to pay for your drinks and leave?

[–] DrSoap@lemmy.world 17 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

No, it's not. You just take the food home and then eat it later.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 6 points 10 hours ago

Hmm yeah that's what we figured. We were on holiday, we couldn't take food home to eat later so just forced the food down then didn't eat again for 24 hours 😆

This happened when I went to America many moons ago, not with bread but regular food.

We went to this restaurant and you order you main like steak and fries. Then you get a buffet starter and I swear to god it had any food you can imagine. Suffice to say I ate so much I couldn’t even start my main when it came.

I’d never seen such large humans as when I went to the USA. Breakfast was similar to with all you can eat.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 16 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

She's confusing the rule about eating food dropped on the floor. SMH. 😔

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

That’s outside floor, inside is 5 hours.

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I once worked as a dishy in a not too fancy restaurant. One busy night we were all out of ladles. They were just gone. The head chef noticed one lying on the dirty floor under the sink that had dropped there God knows when. He announced: ‘Six months rule!’ and just plonked it directly into the soup.

I laughed for a goddamn week.

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 19 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

That wasn't the real reason.

Also, hot bread is fantastic.

I'd reply with 'I don't like people who can't use capital letters anyway' since we're going with unimportant things.
