to think my colleague was thoughtless and ruined my lunch?

Yesterday the canteen at work was closed so two work colleagues volunteered to drive and pick up lunch (we work in an area where it would take 15 minutes to walk to the nearest cafe and only have half an hour lunch.)

It was decided they would go to KFC and McDonalds. I had spent an hour previously complaining that I had got food poisoning last time I went to KFC. So I ordered from McDonalds and said to my colleague, please just get me the American burger of the week.

My colleague returned back with a Louisiana burger which is a chicken burger! When I said I had been complaining about getting food poisoning from KFC that it was common sense that I wouldn't want a chicken burger.

Their excuse was - they had other peoples lunches to get, I hadn't been specific and that they hadn't really listened when I complained about my food poisoning.

Oh come on op, tell us if you ate the burger??? (Invested? Me?)

Fairylea · 09/05/2014 17:02

Neeeeeeeed a KFC now.

The only food poisoning I have ever had was from unwashed lettuce. Ended up in hospital. So by that token I should avoid all food establishments as I'm sure there's a lettuce lurking in each one somewhere.

Sleepyhoglet · 09/05/2014 17:04

So you won't be eating chicken ever again then? Yabu

EverythingsDozy · 09/05/2014 17:04

New to the thread.
Nothing new to add. YABVU! What everyone else said ^^
Also, wouldn't it be brilliant if all her colleagues were off on Monday because of beef induced food poisoning Shock

OnlyLovers · 09/05/2014 17:05

HOW DID YOU RESPOND AND WHO ATE THE BURGER?

This 'need to know' thing is addictive.

Has anyone had one of these here Louisiana burgers? What are they like? I can't be arsed cooking tonight.

IDugUpADiamond · 09/05/2014 17:06

Do KFC deliver?

LiberalLibertine · 09/05/2014 17:08

They don't do liver no. Chicken.

kungfupannda · 09/05/2014 17:09

How could you possibly spend an hour moaning about food poisoning? And then spend more time moaning about the burger?

Was any work actually done?

GatoradeMeBitch · 09/05/2014 17:14

KFC gave me the squits last time I had it. I won't touch it now. I would go for that MacDonalds chicken burger though.

FairyWand · 09/05/2014 17:16

You are a bit of a fruitloop OP.

livelifememories · 09/05/2014 17:27

Erm .... not really no. I wouldn't find anyone having food poisoning as brilliant.

I've had a good friend of mine end up in hospital from a severe case of it.

What a disgusting term, and not one I would ever use.

nannynoss · 09/05/2014 17:31

I have no justified reason why, but I REALLY want to know if the burger was eaten or not! Arrghhh

livelifememories · 09/05/2014 17:31

No, projectile chicken vomit has for now unfortunately put me off.

Who know, one magical day I might be able to stomach a Nandos Grin

HaroldLloyd · 09/05/2014 17:35

I love nandos.

I got ill after a coronation chicken filled sudulika it's still hard to think about.

LiberalLibertine · 09/05/2014 17:36

So, do you at least agree YWBU??

sharonthewaspandthewineywall · 09/05/2014 17:39

But you ARE OP.
I'm shocked tbh this isn't a reverse. The level of bad manners and entitledness has astounded me

OnlyLovers · 09/05/2014 17:39

fruitloop disgusting? Hmm

TiggyD · 09/05/2014 17:42

Aren't Fruitloops psychedelic Cheerios?

VinoTime · 09/05/2014 17:44

I don't like nandos. Never have understood all the fuss around it.

And yes OP, you're being completely unreasonable. But I'd wager you now know that given the countless other posters who have already told you so Wink

LiberalLibertine · 09/05/2014 17:45

Very stroppy fruit loop

livelifememories · 09/05/2014 17:48

I just don't like the term fruitloop, I think it's a dismissive term to use.

It's a term you wouldn't be using if someone you loved had a mental illness.

Do KFC only do chicken?

This is not as silly a question as it might sound. In India they do vegetarian food and there is even an only vegetarian branch of KFC.

My nearest KFC or Muckdonalds is 12 miles away.

Nearest Nandos is 25

Nennypops · 09/05/2014 17:51

Pleeeeeeaase tell us who ate the burger.

Also whether you told your colleagues that they'd ruined your lunch and how you reacted.
