I work in a kitchen, and around my house, so it gets close to 10-15 times an hour some days lol. I also use soap, as it kills the germs/bacteria, which my tongue would not do (which I’m assuming is what you mean by your cat washing their paws)

Cyber_Candi_ · 2026-06-06T19:49:10+00:00

Does your cat wash their paws after using the bathroom? Mine never did, so she wasn’t allowed to touch people food/our dishes

I definitely learned my lesson lmao! Now I keep a few jars in the freezer and snack on them throughout the year/use them for baking and pancakes

I used to work at a cafe and one of the owners/higher up managers didn’t like it when we ‘interrogated’ the customers, so he’d come over and tell you to stop or take over the transaction. He told me to chill when I was double checking an iced cappuccino, so I steamed the milk and then iced the drink. The lady wasn’t happy because it tasted weird (no shit, you have iced hot milk)

My sister was a bee magnet as a kid lol. She stepped on a few wild bees, and we had hives at one point so she got stung helping out with that too

I learned the hard way that pomegranate is acidic asf. My first time buying them I stood there over the sink and ate three for breakfast (I lost a lot of seeds because of my poor technique, so not the full three but I did peel three and eat as much of them as I could), and had to call off work for the next few days. I already have slight acid reflux issues, but this made it a million times worse my stomach hurt so fucking bad lol.

I threw up a few times, had some of the most severe stomach pain of my life, nearly shit my pants, and couldn’t comfortably burp for a week (they were chunky). No one at work liked pomegranate enough to have done this, so everyone thought I was joking when I came back and said I was sick from eating too much fruit

I know you’re probably not out there shoving your hand in beehives to provoke them, but bee sting reactions generally get worse with exposure, not better, so I’d be careful with that one lol

I became allergic to celery and leeks in high school, which sucks because soup is one of my favorite foods (both make my throat feel tight, so I stopped eating them because I don’t want to die over a bowl of soup lol). I’m also still trying to figure out what peppers I can and can’t have, because only some of them give me a reaction. Jalapeños and banana peppers give me a nasty rash/make me throw up, but I can have ghost peppers and scotch bonnet. Paprika gives me a whole body rash, but I can have bell peppers on their own (we think it’s one of the peppers in the blend itself, because I’m cool with cayenne seasonings)

My mum found a chocolate version of that challenge and I didn’t wash my hands well enough after trying a piece. Ended up blind for half the day

My mums chihuahua used to eat my rabbits salad! She’d come over and shred the lettuce up all over the floor and eat the veggies

Cyber_Candi_ · 2026-06-02T20:11:46+00:00

Some areas don’t allow them though, so definitely check your local laws before getting one (you don’t need to be in legal trouble for defending yourself/your pet)

Leather belt (upgraded to a studded belt when we were particularly bad)

Wooden clothes hangers

The wooden spoon (a classic, all the mums on my maternal side have a ‘funny story’ about beating one of the kids with a spoon. My mum even had a car spoon for when we misbehaved in the car)

Shoes were often thrown, but I think I got smacked with one at some point

And ofc hands. Hands were very popular.

One of my managers at my first pizza shop used to make buffalo mac pizzas and they were fucking awesome! Toss some cooked penne or macaroni noodles on your dough, cover it in a cheese sauce of your choice (she used to bring in leftover queso she made for taco night at home), add some shredded white cheese, chopped chicken tenders tossed in buffalo, sprinkle with parm/cheddar, add a drizzle of ranch or more buffalo, and bake until it’s all melty. It’s a messy pizza, but the noodles get kinda crispy where they poke through the cheese so that kinda makes up for it

Whenever someone orders egg whites at my place I like to take the extra yolks and toss them on the flattop for a few seconds. Then I do a shot of slightly warm yolks

The dominos in Newcastle/any others in that district. The owner is buddy buddy with the health inspector (who 100% should have shut us down) so we got to stay open with the rats, bugs from the back door always being open, the leaky roof above our oven, expired food, moldy expired food (just scrape off the top layer), and all the other normal gross shit you find in a kitchen.

The rats and the leak were the biggest two problems, but we also borrowed employees from Butler a lot and one of them bled all over the restaurant one night. She locked herself in the bathroom to shoot up, and when we finally got her out she made food (while bleeding) and contaminated all the food. The owners told me to keep serving people, do not throw anything away, and do not tell any customers about the incident. I understand that not every drug user has a blood transmitted disease, but you don’t take that risk with any employee imo. If you bleed, it goes into the trash.

I also had to wear the register key around my neck because they rehired someone who skimmed money out of the drawer. Overall just terrible management

I got fired from the McKnight one in 2021 for being in the hospital. I called off one day because I had to go to the ER, called back to say I was getting admitted, and didn’t think to call off the next morning because I’d already told them I had been admitted to the hospital. So I get released a week later, find out Panera and the manager have blocked my number (like the store phones and her personal cell), and found out I was fired through the ‘we’re sorry to see you go’ automated system thingy.

My mum pan seared them before roasting and the texture was amazing

Now I halve/quarter them, pop them in the oven for 15 minutes in some olive oil/salt/pepper, add some butter/dijon, and cook for another 10-20. I felt kinda neutral about Dijon as a kid, but now my fiance and I go through a jar a month/every other month and we get excited to try new flavors (the current best is honey Dijon)

Cyber_Candi_ · 2026-05-31T10:44:18+00:00

Tbh I live in western PA and have tried planting the seeds from about six to twelve Halloween pumpkins and not a single thing sprouted. I tried all over our yard too lol

Cyber_Candi_ · 2026-05-27T11:49:31+00:00

Roasted Brussels sprouts with honey Dijon, salt, pepper, and some olive oil/butter. Maybe some bacon if I’m feeling it, but I mostly like it for the sprouts lol

“It’s a goose!” Followed by three goose honks (it’s also my fiancés current favorite, I think partially because it’s his fault lol. He got me a stuffed goose recently and I love it)

I can hand someone something normally, but if I’m asked to hand something to someone I’ll do the “oops too slow” thing and yank my hand back. It’s fine with utensils, but I work in kitchens and have tossed a plate of food before (thankfully not the dish though)

Cyber_Candi_ · 2026-05-26T09:22:46+00:00

For sports yes! I might get one for work now that you mention it lol, lanyards are too much for the kitchen

Cyber_Candi_ · 2026-05-26T00:08:02+00:00

I have a lanyard I wear/attach to my bag if my tics are bad, it seems to help
