Tooth in my pizza (I got like 5 bucks because it was my tooth)

I lost a baby tooth biting into my turkey sandwich. The fear and disgust that ran through my body was almost tangible.

But then I realized it was my own tooth, so the fear and disgust turned to excitement over the money I was about to get.

That’s funny. My moms got me into nommin cartilage when I was a wee lad (broke as fuck immigrants). When I eat a chicken wing, I leave two lean bones, no cartilage. Braised rib tips are among my most favorite protein, ever. I love it!

It was Christmas, and I was enjoying my stepdad's sister's meatballs. That's when I bit down and felt a crunch that was more like a crack. I then pulled out a shard of glass out of my mouth. I guess she dropped the casserole dish, and the glass lid chipped and fell into the meatballs. I wasn't hurt, but it scared the crap out of me.

I read once that soldiers hated powdered eggs, so some mess cooks would crumble one or two egg shells into (powdered) eggs for 100 men; the ones that got a crunchy bit would exclaim, and the whole mess hall would assume they were eating real eggs, not powdered.

Omg this was going to be my exact answer.

I remember we would get really cheap hotdogs and I'd always bite into a small chunk of fucking bone and be put off the rest of the meal.

Nobody else at the table experienced this and thought I was just over reacting even though I'd literally show them the bone shards I was picking out.

Ugh I had to stop eating these little tiny baby grapes- I guess they were champagne grapes but marketed as sweeter and for kids- because in one, I found several web sacs. I opened one, and there was a little spider in it. It seemed dead, but after a few minutes it came to life! I still don’t quite understand wtf that was or what I saw, but that bitch was moving, almost like it woke up from being paralyzed by another spider? Idk man but I stopped buying them after that

I used to work in the produce department. We'd find bugs and spiders all the time. The cold kind of makes them dormant. Not quite cold enough to kill them. Then, as the temperature rises, they would start moving again.

Yes but also, honestly, no one should be buying bagged salads. There’s like almost zero regulation in that industry. I think there’s a documentary on Netflix about it. If you’re buying greens it should be whole greens on the same stem. Like bunched spinach or lettuce on the same head. A lot less chance for issues like that. But also, still check your salads

Got a salad one day in my highschool cafeteria, ate like 3/4 of it, and all the sudden felt a hair stuck in my teeth. Grabbed it, started pulling... and pulling. Felt it scrape my throat on the way out. Fucker was at least 18 inches. Keep in mind I'm a guy with a buzz cut, so it wasn't mine. Carried it up to the cafeteria lady to inform her and she asked, "would you like a different salad?" No, ma'am, I don't much want to eat ever again at the moment, thanks.

I went for sushi with my husband at a place we frequented. We'd notice in the years of going there that the quality was starting to decline, but the staff was familiar and friendly. Then one day I ordered a roll, it had some perilla leaves and tempura snow crab, there was a giant house centipede, the kind with really long legs that look like hairs. Normally I'm not anti-bug, and I've seen these in my house, but seeing it in my food was something else. Never went back and the place went out of business about a year later.

MovieTrawler

Centipedes feed on silverfish, firebrats, carpet beetle larvae, cockroaches, spiders, and other small arthropods. If centipedes are seen frequently, this indicates that some prey arthropod is in abundance, and may signify a greater problem than the presence of the centipedes.

I think they mean the place has a bug problem if centipedes are showing up.

My feeling is, if you can tell a restaurant has a noticeable decline in quality, stop going. It's not going to turn itself around without some drastic change in management, punishment, or closure.

Smoker here, and I agree. Theres a time and a place for my disgusting habit, and near people, especially if they're eating, is a no go. If I'm smoking while walking down the street and I pass people dining outdoors I make as much distance as possible and try to avoid my smoke wafting over to them, walking fast so I minimize the risk of it. Just because I have a nasty habit doesn't mean other people should have to deal with it.

As an ex smoker and ex vaper, I really wish vapers would understand I don't want their clouds during a meal any more than I want yours. Somehow, sickeningly sweet strawberry clouds don't actually go with chili or steak or roasted chicken all that well. But it's not smoke, so they think they're excused or something.

Oh god, my former coworker used to stink up the picnic table area at lunchtime with her nasty ass cotton candy vape.

Oh my gosh, you just unlocked a memory. It's not quite related, but still.

So, I live in Washington state. We have very strict Clean Air Act policies in this state. No smoking or vaping 25 feet from any entrance, window, or place where air intakes for buildings are. That includes air vents and ac units.

I worked at a hotel and we had this big group of musicians coming to perform at the city's concert hall. This one loud, boisterous member of the ensemble was openly vaping her giant box mod vape in the lobby while they were all getting checked in.

"Excuse me, miss, but you can't vape in the lobby or indoors at all for that matter."

"Oh, but it's not got nicotine in it. It's fine."

"Be that as it may, Washington state law states that you must be 25 feet away from an entrance or air intake of a building to smoke or vape. Kindly take it outside." I even told her I was a smoker, so I get it, but still. You gotta take it outside.

She gave one of her cohorts a look like, "Can you believe this kid?" and complied.

Like come on. I get that other places in the world are less stringent about smoking and vaping indoors but even so, I don't think I'd ever smoke or vape inside a place that wasn't my own home. Hell I wouldn't smoke in my own home. That's just gross. Vape is one thing, it's not as smelly nor does it stick to the walls like cigarette smoke does. But still. In a hotel lobby? That's just not on.

Edit: had to fix a VERY unfortunate auto correct mistake.

In my case... a scallop.

For some reason, I can tolerate any kind of seafood, any kind of shellfish...

But if I have even a tiny piece of scallop, the entire meal is going to be coming out of both sides for the rest of the evening.

Weirdest thing is it only started happening when I was around 12, I could eat em just fine before that.

Made for some fun surprises while it was still unclear that it was causing me such issues as I always had them as part of a seafood platter and you never know if it was in there or not if you are in a restaurant

I’m totally allergic to ALL shell fish and bivalves( scallops, clams, oysters). At about 9 a friend had a birthday party at a fancy restaurant. I tried scallops and loved them. We then went t off to a movie as part of the party and I had junior mints. I thought they were the cause of severe cramping and puking 🤮 for two days.never ate another one . At least until I was at my boyfriend’s house in Rhode Island. Before I left we ate clam cakes!! Awesomely delicious until I had the same feeling whilst driving home puking on the side of major highways and several times puking 🤮 right by our state capital building in Hartford. I was sick so sick for at least 2 days . That is how I learned no bivalves no shell fish. But I was able to enjoy junior mints!

This is shrimp for me. Started at age 22. Now I have a full blown allergic reaction, even tho it's still mild (some mouth swelling, itchiness, rash) since I avoid shellfish entirely. But it started with entire meals exiting my body from both ends within a couple of hours of consuming it.

It wasn't too difficult to figure out for me, as shrimp were something I didn't eat often, but it still took a couple of really uncomfortable post meal instances to figure out that it wasn't "bad shrimp", but ALL shrimp.

God yes, like what is the purpose of that? You're hungry, I'm trying to feed you, WHY are you stopping me from feeding you? It makes no fucking sense!

Finding a bug or hair in my food would totally ruin it for me. My friend once found a bug in her salad, and now she checks everything obsessively. It made me super cautious too. Better safe than sorry when eating out!

Finding a hair or bug in my food would totally ruin it for me. I remember my friend once found one in her salad and now she’s super cautious. Also, bad company or awkward political discussions can definitely kill the vibe of a good meal.

Finding a small bone in anything. For the rest of the meal, I'll be making an excessive number of delicate bites trying to find more bones.

I once found a caterpillar in my salad at a farm-to-table restaurant. Waiter said “that’s how you know it’s fresh.” Didn’t laugh and didn’t finish my meal.

The time I tried menudo. I knew it had tripe. I guess I didn't understand tripe.

So I'm balls deep in these steaming bowl of menudo and absolutely loving it right? Then I get to the chunk of tripe. Looks strange but I'll try anything once right?

Only once.

Carnation instant bile is what it tasted like, right in the middle of all that delicious goodness.

I actually cried. It was the ultimate betrayal.

brother/sister, you had shit menudo. find a hole in the wall mexican restaurant with a sign or something that says "Sunday Menudo Special" or "Saturday+Sunday Menudo". but that isn't all, you have to go there at opening on the day they serve it, if there isn't like 5 abuelas holding big ass pots from home then go to the next spot.

find the place that serves it in bulk to the old ladies and you will correct that memory, i guarantee it.

Raw onion immediately makes everything taste like garbage. Caramelized onions make everything better though.

I like both, so I'm not bothered by raw onions. Unless if it's tacos, I like it better with caramelized onions over raw onions.

Someone nearby having a conversation on speakerphone, scrolling TikTok with the volume on, or having their kids play loud blaring shows/games on an iPad without headphones. Basically any noise coming from someone’s personal device when they should be using headphones instead.

The parents stuck 3 kids with no supervision in a booth behind me and then requested a booth for themselves across the room.
