Okay, here's one of my favorite stories. I do graphic design, and I had created some gift tags for my Annoying Coworker. I printed them out and gave them to her. They needed to be cut apart, which is not something I do. I occasionally do unusual print jobs, but I'm not the office printing-person. She asked me to cut

I wonder if there's a genetic disposition or something to wasabi, because I do not taste it as super-hot at all. Sure, it's hot like ginger, but not any more than that. Certainly far less hot than jalapenos to my taste buds, and I eat plenty of those. (Favorite cold sandwich: Swiss cheese and jalapenos)

I was at a sushi restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown, along with several other patrons, among them a pleasant older tourist couple from Scotland on what apparently was their first visit to such a place. When they were served, we watched as she picked up the entire golf ball sized blob of wasabi with her

I did this once, but in my defense, I was at a Mexican Restaurant. Why, oh why was there wasabi on the salsa bar?

"I am very worried that administration concern for external crime is replacing concern for internal crime. The greater problem is date rape, or assaults by other students, which the planned system would do nothing to stop."

You do realize there is a Dr. Brule Check It Out sketch where this exact thing happens.

this motherfucker

I would tell you stories about my coworkers, but then we'd be here all night. I may come back later with one or two of the best ones.

I did the same thing! I was probably about 14, and I ordered some things I didn't know what they were, because I wanted to try new stuff. I got the "chirashi bowl" (haha, I can't believe I still remember that) because it had the most rolls at the lowest price.

my dad told Me it was guacamole my first time seeing wasabi. So I ate the whole thing :( Mexican old men and little girls are fooled by the wasabi.

My white as hell Grandpa did the exact same thing for the exact same reason. He passed away this summer, and the grandkids worked that into his eulogy. It's family lore at this point.

My Indian uncle did the same thing. The man loves spicy food, so much so that he has pretty much killed his taste buds and food that I would declare so spicy as to be inedible, he thinks are mild. We took him to a sushi bar last time he visited, and when we told him he could dab some of the wasabi on his fish if he

I saw a little girl do that. She was only about 2 and her parents said she loved avocado, so she must have thought that's what it was. Before they could stop her, she popped the whole ball in her mouth. Poor baby. She was actually remarkably composed - I mean, she totally cried, but calmed down pretty quickly when the

i do the dull 'yaaaay' from this and no one ever fucking gets it

Yesssss. It just made want to yell WE ALL HATE YOU and run from the room, lol.

Several jobs ago, I ordered a sushi appetizer at a nice company dinner. The president/CEO's secretary (who I later learned was having an affair with him) was a woman of extremely limited education and experience, and she was hyper-aware of this fact and constantly paranoid that other people were making fun of her. She

I just checked to make sure I had enough whiskey to get through reliving some nightmares and it looks like we are good to go.

I've always wondered why large church groups always seem to be the WORST at restaurants. I imagine their faith fuel tanks are on E and they're hangry when they go out to eat. Communion wafers and fellowship don't seem very filling.

I just love it when assholes get their first taste of wasabi. brings back memories. I didn't even have to sell it as a 'green Japanese mayo', I just left the take-out sushi containers unattended for a brief while and there the asshole was tilting the wasabi into his mouth. normally he was all 'what's this? is there

Loved this set... honestly C.A. don't ever apologize for giving us more evil customers who we can love to hate.
