… weirdly, I actually am the pie gatekeep. Unintentionally.
This is a thing that happens every year at Thanksgiving. I will eat my fill of chicken and macaroni and other Thanksgiving foods and will be too full for pie.
My wife will be like “so, pie now?”
And I’ll be like: “Naw, I’m too full. You go ahead.”
But she won’t. Until I will eat pie too, she won’t have any. And she will get upset that I’m preventing her from having pie even thought I said she should have some.
And it’s not just her. When we had relatives over (in the Before Time), THEY wouldn’t eat any pie until I had pie too!
I have never understood this. If I say “go ahead everyone – I’ll have some later” – why does everyone insist on waiting?
This has obviously been bothering me for some time. :p
“I have never understood this. If I say “go ahead everyone – I’ll have some later” – why does everyone insist on waiting?”
Well presumably they are trying to be considerate by waiting and don’t realize that they are a managing to do the opposite. So what you need to do is trick them! Like cut two slices of pie hand them one and don’t bring attention to the fact that you aren’t eating the second slice. Or something.
I have the same lack of control, but I do at least meter it out a bit due to my diet restrictions… about the only thing I “allow” myself to gorge on is salad, and even though salad is perfectly fine, it’s hard to gorge on (mostly bc somehow I can’t eat it fast AND not spill it everywhere)
and I’m hungry in an hour regardless of gorging anyway

I mean, why did you wait long enough to gatekeep any

My mom’s the same way with cartoons.
wtf
slice it up and shove it in their faces “THE PIE, PEOPLE… EAT IT”
high time for pie time
Joyce the Pielimic?
That, too, shall pass.
I like pie, but why not eat it slower so you don’t get sick? Pie is good, but throwing it up would kinda ruin the enjoyment of it for me.
Joyce is a dog. She has no nom-self-control.
