This was something I was told today about how it isn't proper to scoop out ice cream in the middle of the container. I haven't had any ice cream in months! But the subject came up today cause we were eating mac and cheese someone made and they didn't want me to take it out in the middle of the pan. (They said I did that like I scoop out the ice cream in a container). I was looking for the least burnt cheese on top cause I don't like it burnt so much on the mac and cheese like they do, so it doesn't matter how I take it out if I'm looking for the unburnt cheese topping. I have taken it out at the sides before too but would they notice that? No. Of course not. This stuff just gets under my skin with this one person, such a petty thing to critique someone about. Would you care how someone took out their food from a container or pan like this with the ice cream or mac and cheese? I have no idea why these things bother the person but whenever I have a complaint that is legit about them they brush it under the table like it's not important, so why do I have to please them?? Man, some people make me wonder about the human race sometimes. It is one petty complaint after another with some. The negativity that spews out of some people I'm around then grips onto me and then I probably complain too much on here. 
How I hate that.

Yep that is what I'm thinking and to be criticised for something like this is just crazy. I mean, if I had kids or grandkids I wouldn't tell them this about the proper way to take it from the container. It is just so OCD. I think there is just alot of mental illness in some people's head to start an argument over that. It would have gotten into an argument if I hadn't said "Whatever, I'm not arguing". I mean I have heard of fights being started on holidays over things like this or similar and someone ended up shooting someone. Sheesh. To be made upset over this is just wrong, but it did upset me cause of the insisting and critical attitude once again. What else is new. She knows how to push buttons and she keeps on doing it. She has to get something out of it, like a ego boost or something.

My dad is a changed man now and the best thing I can say about him now is that he is no longer the fierce, strict, and fearful father I used to know, almost quite the opposite now actually. Back in my childhood days I fear making any mistakes around him, and there was this one incident that I could always remember, and it was about scooping and serving rice on the table. He taught us to scoop rice from the cooker on the sides first and not the middle then he told us to make sure that the rice to be serve should be in a presentable manner and not in big chunks. I made a mistake about that and got punished. It was not a happy memory but somehow I took it as a good lesson.

In my family,there is a rule about how to get food out of a plate or pan.When I was a young child,my father usually told me how to get food out of the plate as I was eating.It is impolite to eat food in disorder,such as I get food from the oppsite side of the plate.I should just eat the food near my side.If I cannot reach the food placed a little far from me,Ijust don't eat it.This is what my father taught me.I used to hate this order,but when I grew up,I realized that that behavior was a respect to others.When I ate a meal with my friend,we were natural to obey this kind of rule.And I thought that maybe his father had also taught him the table manners.This may avoid affecting others's appetite for bad table manners.
