My boss gave away a free sandwich because it had shredded lettuce instead of big leaves. The reason he can pick off the full leaves, but there will always be at least some of the shreds left. He basically doesn’t eat anything green. He also doesn’t eat any fruit other than apples, oranges, and raisins (but not grapes).

My parents have some family friends with a college-age son who refuses to eat anything but pizza. I was visiting home one time, and the other family came over for dinner. Not only would this kid not eat the dinner my mom had made (chicken, green beans, and mashed potatoes - not exactly a brave new world in terms of

My husband grew up in a very plain food household so when I met him he was mostly pasta, pizza, grilled cheese but he still was pretty good about eating vegetables. Now his favorite foods include Thai and middle eastern (although steak and potatoes is still #1). He never was one to eat fish outside of the deep fried

Ugh, a friend of ours says he hates garlic, onions, and mushrooms. But I’ve cooked for him a bunch of times and I’m heavy handed with the garlic and he always gobbles it right up and has seconds and thirds.

There’s a guy at my work like this and it makes work functions sooooo difficult. Doesn’t eat ANY vegetables. Not lettuce. Not tomatoes. Forget any “exotic” vegetables like squash or eggplant. Only like Taco Bell Mexican food (we live in Southern California). drives me god damn insane.

I had a roommate in college that only ate little kid food- spaghetti os, chicken tenders, French fries, ect. She was beautiful, very into running and physically fit. She literally got scurvy from not eating any fruit and vegetables. Literally scurvy- like a pirate. I thought maybe that would be a wake up call and she

I have my own issues with pickiness. There are somethings I refuse to eat not because they actually taste bad, but simply because the texture/flavor doesn’t feel quite right.So I make sure not to order those things.

I think that all I would have to do is post a picture of my husband. Pickiest man I've ever met. And, this is from someone whose first husband hated all forms of cheese.

Every now and then I visit my grandmother and cook a meal for her. It is only after that I ever remember how god-awful picky she is. She has this thing about what she calls “green things” or “greenies”. To clarify, greenies are literally anything that’s small and green. It doesn’t matter if it’s something she likes

My brother won’t eat foods that touch. He hates green vegetables and mushrooms. Can’t do onions unless they are diced to small that they are invisible. I made lettuce wraps, and he asked me if he had to eat the lettuce. “No, Matt, it’s a garnish.” Sigh.

*raises hand* I’m getting better, but there’s still a lot that I won’t eat. I hatehatehate McDonald’s and Burger King chicken nuggets because the breading is too smooth. Lettuce has to be really crispy and not wilted at all. I also have a lot of texture issues so I won’t eat things like grits, polenta, mashed

Friend of my husbands only eats: pancakes, pepperoni pizza, chicken fingers, French fries, and chicken wings. He is very good about it in that if they go say for sushi he will just find the local pizza joint grab a slice and then go back to the group. He doesn't make a big deal about it.

I don’t know why, but picky eaters frustrate me so much. Like I can understand not liking certain things, but people who go to awesome restaurants and order the chicken tenders every time just kill me. Or people who write off entire food groups, I had a friend who refused to eat vegetables. And her brother refused to

My BF’s brother is super picky. He’s not a dick about it, but it means that as a family they had a fairly limited food repertoire. Which led to me asking my 30-yo-boyfriend, “Do you like Thai food?” and him saying, “I have no idea.” “Ok. Do you like curry?” “I have no idea.”

I HATE adults who never outgrew that phase. In kids, that kind of pickiness is amusing and sometimes infuriating. In fucking adults it’s just unacceptable and I don’t care if this makes me a bitch but if you’re a grown up with the tastebuds and food sophistication of a 5 year-old, I will lose all respect for you.

The people who think that they can get extra proteins for free because they hate vegetables. Ugh.

My college ex would LITERALLY say: “I can’t eat this, it’s green.”

A yuppie and his date came into the bar. It was obviously early in the relationship and he was obviously showing her how urbane he was.

So, if we’re keeping track here, it doesn’t matter if a boxer beats his wife but it does matter if a basketball player is gay.

Hey Floyd, this time we have pictures
