I walked in on my colleague doing something revolting

[noblegiraffe]

I walked in to find him with a big bag of monkey nuts, merrily eating them in their shells.

That’s not right is it? You’re not supposed to eat the shells.

YANBU. Not only is the idea of eating the shells utterly disgusting, but they are full of harmful moulds called aflatoxins which are known carcinogens. They are actually very dangerous to eat.

I think there's a recipe for Russian salad which uses raw potato. I once had a neighbour who had a rather poor childhood (in the economic sense) and she said her mum handed the children raw potatoes to eat because she couldn't afford apples... they didn't come to any harm.

but they are full of harmful moulds called aflatoxins

OMG! I googled this and the National Peanut Board says they are safe to eat, but then Big Peanut would say that wouldn’t they?

His shit must hurt coming out

...gulp! Didn’t know that. Well I hope she’s still alive.

I was somewhat perplexed to find that I kept restocking the fruit bowl with apples, but then they’d completely disappear. I knew it wasn’t my husband - he buys his own for work.
After a couple of days, I caught the culprit red handed. It was my two year old son, who would climb up to the table using his toilet stand, a chair next, which then gave him access to the apples.
The problem was that he’d eat the entire apple. Even the stalk and seeds! I tried to get him to stop eating those bits, but he completely refused and found it funny. The little minx..
I figured that if I gave him the apples readily and completely ignored him eating the stalk, the seeds, etc, he’d give those up if I didn't give him the attention. Sure enough he did. So long as he could eat about four apples a day!
We went through a lot of apples and nappies everyday (as he also ate an outstanding amount of raw vegetables too) for quite sometime... I didn’t complain, except for the cost and ultimately, the smell...😝

Is your colleague a labrador ?

YABU to have a header promising so much and then a tale so mundane :-(

Lots of people seem to have hoped for expected the worst of this bloke without even knowing him, much less what he likes to do with his nuts

I don't know if drinking cockle-jar juice is worse than actually eating cockles themselves though. It's something that looks simultaneously like tiny wrinkly testicles AND bogies - just how much more does it need to do to deter you from wanting to eat it?!

F(ire)TB!

even the squirrels don't eat the shells ...

Apple seeds are very good for you. Full of nitrates!

I'm glad I'm not the only one whose first thought was "wanking at work".
Fortunately the guy was merely playing with his nuts instead.

I eat the pips as well... I heard somewhere they are good for digestion... dunno if they are or not though because I'm too lazy to eat apples very often - they require a lot of chewing

Hahhahaa my OH does this! I was horrified the first time I saw him do it glad he isn't the only one at least but it's incredibly weird

raw potatoes taste exactly the same as a Golden ''Delicious'' apple

Really?

So do I

Do you work in a zoo OP?

I thought this was going to be something way more exciting. I stopped eating me dinner to read it just incase 😂

Growing up We always ate kiwis with the skin, still do, but the peanuts I’m not sure how it’s even possible .

I avoided this thread because I was so afraid my stomach would turn but my jaw actually properly cartoon dropped!

That’s madness!

I wondered what it would be when I opened the thread (I had some thoughts) but this? No no no. All kinds of wrong.

My husband used to know someone who ate the shells of... pistachios. I don't know how they would have any teeth left...

I’d hate to see him with a pineapple.
