Today at work I grabbed lunch at our on-site cafeteria. My lunch break is at noon, and it was pretty busy in there. My food took some time to be ready, but I didn’t mind because I was quite entertained listening to the stupid conversations of other employees while waiting. A reasonably slender woman who appeared to be in her mid-twenties placed the following order:
“I’ll have a veggie burger with NO BREAD, and a large chili.”
I do not understand! Bunless veggie burger… and a large chili? Doesn’t the chili cancel out the vegetarian part of your meal? Clearly, you’re not a vegetarian, so why didn’t you order a regular hamburger with no bread? If you’re trying to go low-fat, the veggie burger works, but the chili does not! I really, really don’t get it. This shouldn’t be plaguing me as much as it is, but I can’t stop thinking about how ridiculous her order was.
In case anybody wants to know, my lunch was a veggie burger WITH bread. Toppings included lettuce, tomato, sprouts, and honey mustard. Yum! I also wanted to get some mixed raw veggies with dip, but my cash resources did not allow this.

I’m sure she thinks the no bread order will cut just enough carbs to keep her lean and mean. I doubt she’s a vegetarian so the veggie burger is confusing. Maybe she thinks it makes her a cool 20 something to eat veggie burgers in a cafeteria where she works. Or maybe she’s an idiot…

dude, it’s just like those fucking assholes who orders like a huge ass disgusting meal from crapdonald’s and then orders a Diet Coke cuz that’ll cancel out all the fast foodie grossness. I love how people think sometimes.
Oh, and the grille sucks, btw in case you didn’t already know, but I guess you don’t have to worry about it since you’re leaving soon. :(

Wait wait wait. Hold on. I thought diet coke aka aspartame was at the opposite end of the spectrum as grease, like red and violet on the visible light spectrum. So what you are saying is diet coke DOES NOT cancel out fatty grease ?!?!?!?!?!? Good lord I think we have just solved the obesity problem in the US. Awesome now lets all go out and celebrate with some… nevermind, its too easy.
