    I share an office with 2 other guys and a few times a week one of them eats a banana in the afternoon...and every single time offers me some. I find stupid things funny anyway, but i just think this is the funniest thing ever!!! Who shares a banana ffs??? Id offer crisps, a packet of sweets...but a banana?! The worse thing is he offers me some, starts munching it in front of me goin "hmmm...are you sure?".

    Am i losin it?Im trying to not burst out laughin here while hes munchin away.Do you share food no matter what it is?

    Yes, we share everything in my office. If I have an icepop, then all 33 of us in the office get one suck each, then it starts again at the beginning til all you have left is the orange stick.

    Does he want you to eat the banana from one end while he eats from the other with the promise of seeing what happens when you both get to the middle?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,602 ✭✭✭Funkfield

    its worse when people ask for somthing you dont want to share.
    i know a lad who always asks for a bite of somthing.

    id be enjoying a roll and then "gives a bite a dat".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,751 ✭✭✭Saila

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,080 ✭✭✭Gunsfortoys


    Hate it when people just take a chip off your plate when they have gotten something healthy. **** off and and get your own!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,647 ✭✭✭thenightrider

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,772 ✭✭✭johnn


    OP can i offer you a salad with "Johnn's Own" creamy dressing?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 417 ✭✭Wolf Club


    That wasn't a banana, Dougal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,772 ✭✭✭johnn


    OP offer him some of your pie, although make sure it doesn't have any fish in it.

    Why would anyone share period :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,706 ✭✭✭fonecrusher1


    Crips - hold your hand out & i will dispense a few crips into it. (yes i refuse to say crisps) but you shall not place your possibly feaces contaminated hand in the bag to snatch-a-snack.
    Can of coke - your a dirty dog if you even ask. Thats a no. Girlfriend/very attractive girl; go on then...
    Mars bar - sit n spin mo-fo. F off.
    Chips - take one but make sure your paws are clean. Keep away from the portion of curry though.
    Frozen treat ie; magnum/ hb feast - don't even look at me.
    Chinese/indian curry - i won't share but if i have any left when im finished you can have it. Peasant.
    Soup - you want a slap? Increbibly i was once asked for a slurp of a bowl of soup. Student days. I said no.
    Pint of beer - c'mon you know what the answer is.
    Burger - don't be dizzgusting. Nae nae never. Thats just unhygenic.

    Often share stuff with the lads in work I'm good friends with, we would have no problem taking a fork of food off each other's plates or picking out something nice with our hand. Even without asking sometimes :D

    No problem giving or talking a mouthful of a drink either.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,104 ✭✭✭easyeason3


    I used to work with someone who regularly asked for half my sandwich/ salad plate/ pasta/ soup :eek: & once asked for a sup of my coffee.

    She is a manky bitch that could never take a hint because I never offered her any food even after she asked. I think she had a phobia about spending money, particularly on necessities like food.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,766 ✭✭✭squeakyduck


    If I'm hungry, drunk, tired, upset or hormonal just FECK OFF! I will bite and have bitten on occasion...just be warned!

    I'm usually one of those at all times! :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,160 ✭✭✭Kimono-Girl


    No i do not share my food :(

    People just never eat your food right, last time i shared my milkybar, the milkybar kid came back be-headed! :eek:

    It's a jail thing.
    People in jail share all their food. So when they get out, it's a hard habit to break.

    Will share anything. wouldn't really offer a banana off hand though heh.

    Same with the Arabs or with tapas in Spain. Dip the fingers in, and I just trust everyone has washed their hand. I don't dwell on it.

    I love the communal aspect to it.

    Will share anything.

    You just wouldn't really though. Your hungry & your chomping on a tasty burger & your mate says here!...givizz (/gets slightly sick in mouth) abera dat? lunging with gnashing teeth in your direction.
    Your going to happily hand your grub over? Possibly even politely humming as you place it in his claw-like hand? Even though your so enraged by the request in your head your screaming no no noooooooo.... gouging your thumbs into your eyes?

    Not going to happen. Well for me anyway. I'l offer chips but not a food item that requires direct oral contact.<(pun) Seriously, its not hygenic.

    Frozen treats, burgers, kebabs are a double no no. Any delicious handheld savoury or sweet food product is personal to you.

    Would you share an ice cream?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    not a burger as no eat da meat, homos do, Hmm I might hand it over angrily :p
    shared icecream loads of times, only got cooties once


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 542 ✭✭✭cleremy jarkson


    You just wouldn't really though.

    You seem to be forgetting that TarAldarion is looking after her sexually attractive female figure and so does not tend towards self-indulgence.

    In my experience it's more a guy thing to be so freaked out by sharing food, I know loads of guys that get really pissed off when asked to share their food... Maybe it's some primal thing... Does anyone agree?


    I don't really care so much, share the wealth and all that... Nothing like someone else's chips! :pac:

    It would depend a lot on the setting, Say for example

    Me and a few of my Friends are out to Dinner somewhere reasonably nice, We each order something different from the menu, then yeah, We each share a bite of one and othes food to see what its like

    Now Imagine I'm in Maccers havin a Big mac meal and some random skanger comes over and eats one of me chips, he's gettin a kick in the stones.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,458 ✭✭✭CathyMoran


    Would share food with my husband but that would be it.

    My OH doesn't like to share with anyone but me, but mostly from a hygiene POV :D

    I'll share anything really crisps, burger, ice-cream. It doesn't really have an ick factor for me.

    And possibly food poisoning!:pac:


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 18,300 ✭✭✭✭Seaneh


    I used to hate touching anything anybody had bitten before me (like even girlfriends!) but these days someone will offer me a piece of a cookie or chocolate bar as so long as they have good dental and personal hygiene ill take a bite no bother. Within reason, I'd have to know them etc


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,562 ✭✭✭scientific1982


    Dont mind sharing food except when its my diner. Then I might bite you.
