Seriously this whole mess started because somebody didn’t know the difference between idiot and idiosyncratic? That’s a level of dumb for sure.

There may be an additional filter on the machine water. I’ve lived in four states and in two of them (Fla and Ohio) the water tastes seriously gross directly from the tap Most machines and even water fountains have filters. We have one of those Brita deals on our kitchen tap. Seriously our local water sucks.

It’s really simple. The word Worcester gets broken syllable wise after the CE, not after the first R. so technically- worse, ster. But a lot of accents aspirate or eliminate entirely the R, so woos. Pronounced as written it’s a two syllable word, not a three. It’s not meant to be Wor, Ces, Ter.

The Five Guys near us is horrid. I swear I got a double burger, one patty was well done (good,) the other was pink through. Seriously on the same bun. Not good.

This. I never go to a good steak place with anyone unless I am sure they have a chicken or fish dish I can get. I have huge OMG gives me the collywobbles mouthfeel issues with meat that has any pink in it (also non minced shrooms,) I have the courtesy to not order the stuff where I know it’ll be a smack in the face to…

We had this happen at a Hilton. There was no notice anywhere in the room that the pillows were down. We never even thought to ask, heck it didn’t even occur to us why we were miserable for hours after we woke up. We called the desk, they apologised for the notice not being there and refunded the first day. Honestly…

I am honestly not sure (not lactose intollerant) but cheeses are processed, does that do anything to the lactic sugars in them? Not enough knowledge to say.

I don’t have a problem with that idea. But when you do initiate the “I am allergic to x,” the staff needs to actually find out what’s in the food. If someone says allergic to onions, then the staff needs to say “No you can’t have the salsa because onion juices.” I do my level best to read menus online and I know…

Seriously processing matters. I will get violently ill if mustard flour is in a meal, if prepared mustard is, we’re talking anaphylaxis vs sicking up. I avoid anything that says the word mustard, including greens (which since I’ve never been willing to eat, I dunno if I can or not. I’d rather not try.) But prep…

In a calm Mr. Rogers voice “Can you say ‘Jury Nullification,’ I knew you could.”

Honestly, the way to handle that one is to educate the kid on what grilled means (and flat top vs lines,) and explain that in the past you’ve kinda fibbed. Because when the kid is old enough to order on their own they need to know what to ask for to get the food they want, and lying to them about grilled with no…

I have huge sensory and mouth feel issues, so what I do is read menus online before I go out. I also have allergies. It’s simple, just prepare in advance. I was never as a kid allowed to make a scene and I learnt early on that at a steakhouse you didn’t ask for freaking well, well done. (Cannot stand pink in…
