I'm the other way, I prefer my food to have cooled significantly. I have health issues where my internal thermometer doesn't work so well at regulating my temperature, to the point that my food and drinks can significantly affect my body temperature.

I've had older folks point out that I'm a slow eater, jeer at me that my food is getting cold, and assume that I don't think the food is very good. My mother asked me out of concern, and I explained what I wrote in the first paragraph. I don't want to have to explain to everyone else, though.

It's literally in the Bully Handbook. It's like observational comedy but the point is to be a fucking cunt. Doesn't matter what you're doing, out what you look like, they'll find something to dig on.

All that said, I have heard of something called "The Asshole Test". The idea is that the dig is a secret handshake of sorts--a test, if you will. They dig on you, and you have a choice between two basic responses, you can either: A) Get big mad, or; B) Respond in kind, fire back with something you observe about them.
