to be annoyed that someone called my jam donut fattening

Yes, I know they are in fact fattening but I was really really looking forward to it Nipped out of the office to buy myself lunch. Absolutely starving as haven't had anything to eat since breakfast so as soon as I saw the jam donuts in the supermarket I went and bought a bag. Being the greedy guts that I am I tucked in as I was heading down the escalator to the car park. As I was stuffing my face delicately eating the donut I hear this voice behind me. I ignored it first time round thinking it was someone talking to someone else. I hear the voice again and they were saying "fattening". I turned round and this guy said "you're ignoring me aren't you?" I mumbled "yes" and turned my attention back to my donut. Now, firstly I think it is a bit rude to comment on what a complete stranger especially as I don't look (I don't think) as if I am the sort of person that is going to kill myself through overeating and, secondly, he really wasn't one to comment on what was fattening seeing as he looked as if he needed to cut out the pints and pork pies! I was planning on sharing the rest of the donuts with my work colleagues but he took the pleasure out of the first one so I am going to have to scoff another two one to get over my annoyance. Can't a girl enjoy a donut in peace!

I don't think people really know what to say about the fact that I often eat cereal for lunch, probably just say I'm crackers behind my back (and they'd be right ).

Never tried a custard donut. I might have to start a new ritual with Donut Friday so I can work my way through all the permuations of donut.....mmmmmmmm

I just read this out to DP, and he's adament you were being chatted up!!!
Apparently it's the new thing, if you mildly insult a lady she shall be putty in your hands.

Ewwwwww, I'd be mortified if that was what he was doing . If it had been Brad Pitt (well, I'd settle for the new guy that's playing Sherlock Holmes) mildly insulting me about my donut eating habits then I may well have been putty in his hands but this guy was old enough to be my dad!

Perhaps if I tried the same thing with a more classy type of food such as a smoked salmon bagel I might be insulted by a better looking guy?

.. stop vapouring on' love it, pingviner. Graet phrase.

Fizzywinelover · 23/07/2010 16:09

that word was 'great'.
ahem.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 23/07/2010 16:12

I would like a donut. I have none

Ezma · 23/07/2010 16:19

ohyoubad, there's three left, shall I lob one over - there's one jam left and a couple of ring donuts?

yes, "vapouring on" is a brilliant phrase - does it mean someone that is just talking outoftheirarse-- hot air?

I go for a wide, happy grin and
'339 calories to be exact. So that's 678 calories, because I have two of them'

OhYouBadBadKitten · 23/07/2010 17:09

yes please - jam thanks! I like putting them in the microwave for a few mins (though the scalding jam can be a bit hazardous)

EricNorthmansmistress · 23/07/2010 17:09

I hate the attitude that food is 'naughty' or 'fattening' - no it bloody isn't anyone can lose weight (if they so wish) whilst eating 'fattening' things in moderation. Teaching yourself that nice things are 'naughty' gives them a value they don't actually have, and links them to 'treats' which becomes a pick-me-up when feeling low etc etc. Anyway, lettuce could be 'fattening' if you ate enough of it.

I had cake and tea, happy sugar buzz.

ponceydog · 23/07/2010 17:13

yeah, it's blokey chat-up

Irishmu · 23/07/2010 17:21

How did you restrain yourself from whacking him with the bag of doughnuts?? If someone is rude enough to comment on me or my food, I look at them with a "genuinely " puzzled face and say.."this is your business because..???" I hope the cheeky so-and-so gets a never-ending chocolate craving for life!

Ezma · 23/07/2010 19:50

I couldn't risk causing damage to my donuts could I? Cookies would have been more robust I think.

Can't believe I've been insulted/ chatted up through an insult over a bag of donuts, the shame. I might be single but it looks like I'm really going to have to rethink my pulling tactics

i'm definitely of the school of a little of what you fancy as otherwise you just end up craving it anyway and making life more miserable for yourself.

Morloth, glad you got your tea and cake. Of
course as I'm typing this I'm now thinking it's time for a glass of something chilled

Years ago I was happily eating a flapjack at work and one of the male managers said to me:
"You'll have to watch yourself eating those".
I was not in a good mood, so I looked at him and said:
"That's alright, I'll worry when I get to your size."

Ezma · 23/07/2010 21:34

Thinking about donuts reminded of when I went to Prague years ago. There was a cafe where you could buy a basket of day old donuts to throw at other customers. All i could think was what a waste!

But you were walking when you were eating it - of course it wasn't fattening! Take no notice and enjoy.
