Popcorn before 9:00 a.m.?

[sullie]

Allow me to vent for just one minute and also ask, what in the name of all that is holy is the freakin' deal with this damned microwave popcorn at 8:45 a.m.? Every single morning at work here, someone is waving that artery clogging, blood pressure raising, over buttered, extra salty freakin' popcorn that leaves a big ass grease ring in the microwave at 8:45!

I mean it's the morning for Chrissakes! I mean I enjoy popcorn, even the chintzy microwave crap but before 9:00 a.m.? What the hell? It smells so wretched at that time, before I've even had a chance to grab a cup of coffee and what's worse is the scorched earth popcorn that some lamebrain left to vulcanize while a thick, black plume of smoldering popcorn wafts gently in the air for the next 3 hours. I mean picture yourself, you walk into a room with 6 pots of fresh coffee, expecting to smell coffee but all you smell is over buttered, sappy smelling popcorn.

Again, nothing against popcorn, I enjoy a nice big bowl of it with my wife and son while watching a movie every once in a great while. I prefer to make it by hand, you know a pot, a little bit of oil and a handful of kernels from a jar and you shake the pot gently over the gas burner until it all pops up served with a little bit of fresh parmesean cheese sprinkled on top. But not every freakin' morning? Arrgghhh!

Reason I bring this up, I've worked at the same place now for years and I swear to God, everyday there's this group of people from this one area that all eat popcorn at the same time, everyday (8:45) no matter who quits or moves on it's like the legacy is handed down like a baton in a 400-meter relay. Oh and what do they use for bowls? Coffee filters! Yeah you heard me, freaking coffee filters! The same people look at me like I've got worms crawling out of my ass when I'm pissed off that there's no coffee filters left. Bring in a fricken' bowl, eat it out of the bag, or use a paper towel for God's sake! IDIOTS!

Just needed to vent, I feel much better now.

Back when I worked on Mids at DSCC there in Columbus, we used to have popcorn at 4-5 in the morning as a group and we'd use coffee filters as bowls because the cups/paperbowls/papertowels had a drawer that the dayshift bastards locked every day before they went home.

But you know you had two good excuses there - you're probably working a late shift and the drawers were locked. I have no problem with that. At our company, these are grazing cows that eat the popcorn in between food orgies in their areas. Oh, and our company has those styrofoam bowls AND plastic bowls but these turds on legs STILL insist on using coffee filters. There really is no call for it, they're just too lazy to grab a bowl. I mean if the filter would filter out the popcorn kernels I would understand but it doesn't!

I was working at a 4-course golf development a number of years back when, during lunch, some guy torched a bag of microwave popcorn in the break room. Fastest I've seen 100+ golf course workers leave an area to date..

We don't allow people to put two things in our microwaves here at work: fish and popcorn.

I completely agree............and it's always the same fatasses who complain that their diet isn't working. "I give up, my metabolism isn't right....." No, what you need to do is stop using your stomach as a garbage disposal and work out, you lazy bastard. (Sorry to get off topic, you just reminded me of a pet peeve of mine)

You should make a thread out of that

I couldn't agree with this more. Popcorn can be overpowering but fish......that can clear a room!

If cold pizza is OK, than why not popcorn?
Actually, the cold pizza is better for you.
And will cause less stomach distress.

Only a rotting corpse would smell worse!

I can guarantee you there is absolutely no butter involved.

Ha!

Right you are, okay I'm thinking it should have read "chemically enhanced, imitation dairy food like substance with all the calories and artifical aroma of something that simulates butter."

How's that?
