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.

You banged on about getting horrible food poisoning from KFC yet it was your colleagues who ruined your lunch?

No one wants to hear about your food poisoning and especially not around lunchtime.

Cornettoninja · 09/05/2014 19:43

Nope I refuse to believe it

(Props to you for handling this thread so well - the op is usually long gone at this point on such a long thread with no one agreeing Smile)

Hijack - Alpaca presuming I'm guessing you're lettering correctly, there is a Nando's currently under construction in S*y, but it doesn't open until June 4th so don't bother going there tomorrow!

I don't think your colleagues 'ruined' your lunch op, they did as bidden pretty much. And I doubt they'll do it again.

picnicbasketcase · 09/05/2014 19:48

But but but, where did it go then?

Ohbyethen · 09/05/2014 19:50

All the chicken is coming for you.

Did someone else eat it?

Xmasbaby11 · 09/05/2014 19:58

YABU! You didn't want KFC … you didn't get KFC.

littlesupersparks · 09/05/2014 20:02

Alpaca, there's a new one in Te - county town of the same county as S*y...

littlesupersparks · 09/05/2014 20:03

There is one in B*h too I'm sure ;-)

Of course I could just be saying that because it would lessen my aibu even more so if I said I ate it.

I guess we'll never know what happened to poor little Lou Lou the unloved burger.

We know you ate it. Obvious from previous answers.

Pobblewhohasnotoes · 09/05/2014 20:18

So you starved then?

Next time the canteen is closed, just being your own lunch. It would save you (and mainly your colleagues) a lot of grief.

Someone mentioned Doritos? I could just eat some Doritos right now. The fact that they got mentioned in the same sentence as norovirus is irrelevant...

Raskova · 09/05/2014 20:26

Just you wait til you taste them on the way up pobble Wink

TheHouseatWhoCorner · 09/05/2014 20:28

What did you have for your lunch then?

Nennypops · 09/05/2014 20:30

I hope you paid for the burger, OP.

Please tell us, did you tell your colleagues they'd ruined your lunch? How did they take it?

Pobblewhohasnotoes · 09/05/2014 20:31

I had food poisoning yesterday actually! It was hideous.

Too late, in my attempt to recover my appetite I've eaten them!

LongWayRound · 09/05/2014 20:35

Exactly.

Raskova · 09/05/2014 20:39

But are you sure it was food poisoning or not as ops food poisoning?

If you only had it yesterday, I hope that you're over it. It would be truly awful if two of us couldn't eat them Hmm

intheenddotcom · 09/05/2014 20:39

YABU and need to get your facts right.

The Louisianna is not an alternative nor is there a beef version. It is this weeks burger which is chicken.

You asked for the American one and got it.

FunLovinBunster · 09/05/2014 20:50

I'm staging a burger related sit in until OP reveals The Truth About Whether They Ate The Fucking Burger AKA Little Lou Lou.

FunLovinBunster · 09/05/2014 20:51

I thought it was the Nevada beef effort this week.
I hope the CEO of McDo and KFC is watching this thread
