To really not care what you ate on holiday

[Geekster1963]

My in laws have been on holiday this weekend and insisted on coming to see us this afternoon. They told us all about it in great detail (fair enough though a bit too much detail), but it included what they ate for every single meal. I really don’t care that your soup was ‘super’. Drives me mad they are food obsessed.

Heh heh. My mother does this every single time I ring her. About pretty much every meal. It provides me with a very good incentive to ring her often, because it can take a hell of a long time to get through what she's had for two weeks worth of meals, as well as her ailments, as well as everything she's done and everyone else in the family has done, as well as who has died. . .

Ha! Ha! My parents do this on/after EVERY holiday and it is super dull. I never interrupt them though, they seem so happy talking about Grub. Now they are both on Slimming world diets (due to gluttonous all inclusive holidays) and drone on about 'Free' food and 'syns'.......that I find more infuriating.

Yes my MIL goes to Slimming World too, sick of hearing about syns! To be fair she has lost and kept off six stones though.

😩 dull beyond belief. But not as bad as people describing how they make meals. That drains the will to live out of me!

6 stone? That is impressive, well done that lady. Food is obviously her "thing." It can be very off putting when people obsess over food, they 'live to eat' not 'eat to live.' I am sure your MIL appreciates you listening to her....are you sure you're not my SIL? :-)

Definitely not your sil as DH Is an only child

My dm is forever telling me what she has made for tea. My dad bollocks her and calls it ‘old shiter’s talk’. She also tells me what my cousin ate when they were out together and is disappoint because my cousin is overweight. Drives me nuts. Do people not realise how boring it is?

If the holiday was abroad it could be interesting to know what foods and how they were cooked. If it’s was fish & chips in Southend, less so.

She’s the same whenever they go for a meal out!

I’ll see your boring holiday food conversation and raise you a which road she took for every journey she’s ever made co-worker! If she asks me where I went at the weekend I just tell her I stayed in otherwise she gives me a mile by mile account of the best way to get wherever I went 🙄

The other day a friend in FB post about the delicious burger she’d enjoyed at the local Wetherspoons along with how the diet starts Monday and the gin she was about to drink. I so wanted to comment #noonefuckingcares.

They do that too Guineapiglet!
