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.

In a few months time, someone will start a thread 'what was your favourite ever thread'

Amongst all the Penguin and Yoni answers, someone will nominate this!

SallyannFanackapan · 09/05/2014 19:03

I love you OP!! This is absolutely the first time I've seen someone stand up to the demands for more details just so folk can use it to harangue you! Well done, and next time go to Pizza Hut. Smile

It's not common sense to avoid all chicken at all!

Years ago (when I was a kid) I had a nearly upset stomach after eating McDonald's chicken nuggets. I braved then a second time a few months later and the same thing happened.

25+ years later I still won't touch them, but will happily eat McDonald's burgers and love KFC.

If didn't specify 'no chicken' that's not your colleague's problem.

I just love a thread where the op admits she is very unreasonable and the admission is followed by random abuse of the op anyway

Haha, I know. AIBU it's a cruel world Wink

Of course I know I'm being unreasonable.

I said 5 (I think?) pages back that there's no point me saying that because I'd probably be accused of only saying so people would stop commenting.

If I thought I wasn't being unreasonable I'd have argued my side more.

Saw this blog and thought of you
Do you mind cheeseburgers? Is it just chicken that offends your sensibilities?

The burger got bored of waiting and took itself to the next door office where it knew it would be appreciated. There. Solved. Thanks for an entertaining thread, ladeez.

AlpacaLypse · 09/05/2014 19:09

Will this thread reach 1000 messages without ever revealing who ate The Burger?

I've got bugger else on tonight, I'm in for the wait!

Cervix where's the Nando's that's 25 miles away? Dtd1 for some obscure reason wants to go and have lunch there, I've promised her a trip to Sn tomorrow to buy yet more teenage girl heaven clothing in New Look but don't mind going elsewhere in order to knock that one off her bucket list. Sy? Od? Surely not Cr or B**h? They're both FAR too posh like the town where we both live

Catsize · 09/05/2014 19:12

Of course she ate the burger. It is finger-lickin' flamin' obvious.

And no food poisoning has resulted.

I once had an abcess in my chicken at KFC. Looked like a small brain with green puss. My mum and dad wouldn't let me complain (I was 13).
Went veggie soon after that... But even I fancy a Louisiana burger now, after 23 years of veggieness.

Well done, and next time go to Pizza Hut

I love your way of thinking Grin

jacks365 · 09/05/2014 19:15

Well done, and next time go to Pizza Hut

Would that be chicken on the pizza?

FunLovinBunster · 09/05/2014 19:18

Christ on an actual bike.
Will OP please tell me...
DID YOU EAT THE FUCKING BURGER??
My nerves can't take much more of this.
I'm passed CARING whether YABU/YANBU
WILL NO ONE THINK OF THE SODDING BURGER?

FunLovinBunster · 09/05/2014 19:19

Are there any fast food chains that OP hasn't boycotted yet in her beef/chicken separatism movement of one?

SauvignonBlanche · 09/05/2014 19:21

I had a Louisiana burger last weekend - I'm still alive.

livelifememories · 09/05/2014 19:22

Just KFC, maybe Maryland too.

I'm only boycotting McDonalds because they removed the mozzarella sticks which we established was a potential drip feed.

SauvignonBlanche are you sure? It could potentially be a Bruce Willis in Sixth Sense kind of thing ....

Fleta · 09/05/2014 19:26

OP quite clearly ate the burger....but then it doesn't stack up with the ridiculous drama ridden monologue does it.

"Woe is me, I had food poisoning, I told my colleagues. They're all great big bullies and bought me the burger I asked for. So I ate it"

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 09/05/2014 19:28

Catsize O you fucker!!! Really looking forward to my Chinese takeaway till I read that. Now I'm going to be thinking of tiny green brains.

Raskova · 09/05/2014 19:29

YANBU! How dare they be so stupid! Who thinks like that! You guys should be ashamed of yourselves for treating OP this way!

Seriously tho, why won't you tell us about the burger???????

Did you eat it? I simply must know!

I once got Norovirus after eating a huge bag of Doritos. Even thinking about it gets me all a quiver. I can't even look at a Dorito or triangle shaped crisp. I do eat other flavours and shapes of crisp tho so no, it's not common sense.

Did you eat the burger?

I'll admit one thing about the burger. I. Didn't. Eat. It Shock

Raskova · 09/05/2014 19:31

Obviously I didn't catch Norovirus from the Doritos.
