| | | | Sometimes I really hate people :mad:
So one of the people in our building sends an email around about setting up a lunch with a doodle attached. I sign up to the doodle and that's that.
Then some other person in my office forwards the email to a visiting PhD student in my office and asks if he wants to come.
Today comes around and we get an email saying we are going to some Chinese Buffet place. I automatically say no I'm not going there. I'm trying to watch what I eat and I can't eat the chicken or meat because of religious reasons. Also the buffet is 25CHF. I know that's normal for a buffet in Switzerland but it's about 15CHF more than I like to spend on lunch.
So the girl in the office asks if I'm going and I say no, I'm trying to watch what I eat. Then she starts shouting at me about why I signed up for the doodle if I wasn't going to go. I obviously wasn't aware that signing up to a doodle is a legal contract. Then she goes on about how she has French lessons tomorrow and then the visiting guy will have to go alone. Really not my problem since she's the one who invited him 
Then the visiting guy comes in the office and she says to hi, 'The lunch is tomorrow and porsch1909 (yes that's my real name...my parents had a sick sense of humor) will go with you.'
I'm gobsmacked and say 'Yeh sure whatever I will go.'
I'm just too nice of a person, as anyone who has met me will attest too
Thread is now open for LiB to troll

You choose a few dates and forward the link to all the people and they choose which dates are suitable.

when you think about it, 25 chf for lunch is pretty crazy but you just get so used to it that it seems normal after a while.
