This was in response to ingratitude over what was being served.

Closely associated with the original post, I get very turned off by “picky” charities We want you to supply poor kids with a toy for Christmas, but it must be valued at between x and y amount, must be new in package, must be labeled as to age and gender group etc. Or we need clothes for the upcoming winter but they must be only certain types styles or like above new no used. I guess you don’t need the stuff bad enough or appreciate people being generous

Not work related, but it molded mine and my brother's attitudes towards food and life in general...
At our dinner table, the words "I don't like [whatever]" was NEVER allowed; mother STRICTLY prohibited it. If you uttered those words, and after getting lectured, one of several things was going to happen...1) You would be asked to leave the table and go to your room without supper (most likely event) or, 2) would be given a double portion of "what you didn't like" or, 3) would be required to sit at the table until you ate whatever it was you stated "you didn't like".
I can recount at least one episode where my older brother (probably 9 or 10 at the time) didn't like turnips (or maybe it was rutabaga) and mother made him eat them before leaving the table. He shoved them all in his mouth and held them there until he gagged himself and threw up. I think he was allowed to get up then...
"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

^^^ Nah, just put a dab of mayo inside the reservoir tip and the thief's imagination will do the rest.

I've always believed that hunger is the best sauce.
