Cheese sucks

That is pretty much my list of yukky food. "Raw" cheese is horrid and if I accidentally do eat it, then it is like a dog that got peanut butter in its mouth but with more gagging.

As with many things, there are exceptions. I like melted cheese, so yes I eat pizza. The obvious exception to that exception is, feta doesn't melt, it will forever remain icky.

So stop putting weird shit on not weird shit.

Like Avocado, that tastes the exact same as grass smells. Good for your nostrils, bad for your mouth.

Then there are things that may be allowed if mixed and or cooked properly these would include Eggplant, Kidney, and Peppers.

Those 3 come to mind because for Eggplant and Kidney specific you get the idiot who thinks they are just yummy when cooked right. As though Eggplant does not come off exactly how you imagine brains to be. Slimy and rubbery. Kidney can be ok as in oh wow it is in beef stew and I did not even notice.

I mention peppers because, there is no world where raw Green, Red or Yellow pepper should ever be in a salad and I don't care how posh your drug front of a restaurant is. Cook the shit.

At least saute it, unlike Liver, classic Liver... Never ever, no way, not smell nor touch and over my dead body will I consume that.

So, all in all, I think I have very few food dislikes, pretty common ones I would say. Oh and cream, and yoghurt, disgusting.

In that line, I only will drink fresh milk if I literally just opened it and it is ice-cold and I drink it immediately. Any other time that better be in something like coffee or milkshake.

I can't think of anything else really, and this post is anyway in the vein of "Nobody asked, but I am going to tell you anyway."

People

Pretty much sums up my pet peeves, or dislikes. Most people's existence is questionable at best. That is fine, I am a love and peace kinda person. Just I like to keep that to myself, as in don't come mucking about in my love and peace bubble.

That would include, phonecalls, excessive messaging (or any really) , knowing someone too long, hearing peoples voices when I do not need to (most of the time), hearing them speak when I need to (most of the time). Basically, anything I did not initiate myself will irritate me to some extent.

Again as with most things, there are exceptions and nuances. So I have a whitelist on my phone, if you are not one of those names then you will not be able to call me.

Surprisingly on that whitelist are even some customers, 1 specific. Obviously, my boss needs to be on there and some others that for whichever reason I allow. I am not completely cold you know.

My WhatsApp I have recently configured to also follow that because one of the nuances of interacting with people for me seems to be, if I know you personally as in you can come to irritate me in person. Chances are I do not care to speak to you over any other method unless I decide I need to.

Since I don't tend to need things from these people then they can just not bother me the rest of the time, but they try to cheat, and call and Whatsapp does not block calls separate from messages so then ignore mode is the last resort.

Handling customers

So with all that it would be a surprise that I do in fact work with people on a daily basis. It is unfortunate and sadly assassins are expensive and the town is big.

So like any other pleb, I just need to grit my teeth, but the rules don't really change. The only difference is customers are more persistent and they keep coming back. They speak a lot unless you shut them down quickly and sure some are just fine to deal with. Those who are ok to deal with are good for my interaction quota.

Being ok to deal with means you are in and you are out.

Anything longer than a quick small talk session while finalizing a transaction is very much overstaying.

Follow that up with inane questions or questions beyond what is pertaining to the thing I should be doing then I need to get rid of you.

As I say, "I don't need to smile to do my job."

Online

I think my tolerance for interaction online is much higher purely because I can shut it down at any point. "Oh no I got IRL shit to do, my internet is so wonky today."

I like the exit.

Dealing with people IRL is like a claustrophobic trap, it does not matter if it is a phone call, message or in person.

They are just different degrees of the same issue.

Obviously, the biggest pain point is working with customers, fortunately, I care to not deliver a bad job but I have no qualms about not delivering anything at all. The latter means they went away and at the end of the day that is all I want. What the quickest road to that goal is can be surprising.

It can be like helping people out of kindness will almost always bite you in the ass. People are needy and if they start off by asking you to do something that you do not really need to , and you do it. You are fucked.

An example of that would be I print photos, I can type sure. Do I type CV's or some inbred child book cover? No, not really.

Can I google? Sure. Can I find some pics for your kids project and print them? Probably. Should I? NEVER.

Those people are pathetic and helpless and they will forever be so. So the best is first instruct them how to do said thing, if there is resistance and they will not be paying premium then you know.

Get rid of them or make them get rid of themselves.

It is the same thing really with a major difference.

If you do the work and they leave, that thing will come back. If you don't do it and they decide "you are not helpful" then that is best.

So I guess my pet peeve is rather simple, everyone who has that one irritant of a human in their little family group or circle need to come together and eliminate them.

Slowly we can get to a world where anything we want is a button click and we never have to listen to what someone wants.
