Urgh, who eats sushi at their desk with their fingers and their gob open?
I am about to brain him with the chair! Angry

Who doesn't eat sushi with their fingers?

HopeYouStepOnALego · 25/02/2020 16:58

Eating sushi with fingers is fine, but eating with gob open - yuk!

IHaveBrilloHair · 25/02/2020 17:00

I use chopsticks, but a fork is fine.
Gob open, nope.

Honestly someone's just trying to eat their lunch in peace, I'm sure they don't mean to offend you.

Frownette · 25/02/2020 17:31

It's nearly home time, surely?! Just tell him to eat with his mouth closed.

AGoodPodcastAndANiceCupOfTea · 25/02/2020 17:33

Why are you watching?

Scunnnnnered · 25/02/2020 17:35

I always eat sushi with my fingers.

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 25/02/2020 17:36

I dont know who doesnt eat sushi with their fingers

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 25/02/2020 17:40

Most people eat sushi with fingers or chopsticks.

I have never seen anyone eat sushi with a fork misses point

However I must confess to my failings as a Mother as DD bites her salmon sushi and eats each piece in a few bites instead of popping it in in one go. I find it very ick

Frownette · 25/02/2020 17:41

I use fingers. I like chopsticks but I grapple a bit with sushi.

They don't generally include the little wooden ones now do they?

Undies1990 · 25/02/2020 17:42

Chopsticks, surely?!

Mouth open = me asking "are you enjoying that?"

TheTwilightZone · 25/02/2020 17:43

Surely you need to open your gob in order to put the suchi in it 🤔

Theknacktoflying · 25/02/2020 17:45

It is eating at a desk .... just yuck!
Added bonus - fish and open mouth!

You score triple points for that.

GiveHerHellFromUs · 25/02/2020 17:51

Anyone who eats fish in an open office is a dick anyway.

JigsawsAreInPieces · 25/02/2020 18:06

Damn. I was hoping the Sushi was actually eating the colleague.

Colleague eating Sushi just doesn't bring the same images to mind. sigh Wink

Being pedantic here Grin

Sushi is rice.
Fish is sashimi, and not all sushi pieces contain fish. You can vegetarian sushi and sushi containing chicken or duck or even beef.

caulkheaded · 25/02/2020 18:11

Does sushi actually smell of fish? I eat it a lot and think the wasabi smells sometimes but never noticed the sashimi smell. It’s such a small amount - how could it?!

ShirleyPhallus · 25/02/2020 18:13

@Ginfordinner I was just about to comment with this same fun fact Grin

ExpletiveDelighted · 25/02/2020 18:16

Just look away.

Geoffreythecat · 25/02/2020 18:18

What's wrong with eating sushi with your fingers? I'm trying to imagine the laughter in our workplace if I turned up with chopsticks Grin

GiveHerHellFromUs · 25/02/2020 18:22

@Ginfordinner fair Grin some sushi has seafood in it though doesn't it? Like those grim meal deal packs in the supermarket. They smell fishy.

CormoranStrike · 25/02/2020 18:25

I eat sushi with my fingers

I eat it at my desk

I don’t eat with my mouth open, so only two out of three

okiedokieme · 25/02/2020 18:34

I eat sushi with my fingers at my desk, it doesn't smell. I do close my mouth

FluffMagnet · 25/02/2020 18:35

My old boss use to eat it over the head of his secretary whilst live dictating. Bits would fall in her hair. She deserved far FAR more than she was paid.

Lindy2 · 25/02/2020 18:40

Sushi is a finger food. Do you expect him to use a knife and fork? Hmm

Open mouth is annoying but nothing to do with sushi. Looking elsewhere is probably your best approach.
