foreverajerseygirl Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Ok so I am sitting at the dinner table last night with my hubby, my parents and hubby's son. All is pleasant and peaceful UNTIL...Hubby asks if I can please pass the salt. My father chimes in that he prefers garlic salt. My mother then tells us how she prefers pepper. She could have left it at that but OH NO... she then launches into what felt like an hour's discussion on pepper and red pepper. Knowing my husband has severe allergies, she asks him if he's ever sniffed pepper to clear his sinuses. At this point, I have now clenched my butt cheeks together and am chewing on the inside of my cheeks to remain sane. Hubby's like, ummmm...noooooo. Then she tells him how red pepper is even better for clearing out the sinuses because if you sniff it, you will sneeze profusely, thus clearing out your sinuses. I'm sitting there like, "Are you freakin' kidding me??????" Here's my mother talking about inducing sneezes right here as if it is normal dinner conversation!!!!! I didn't know if I'd rather shoot myself or her right on the spot... Link to comment

TheCakeIsAlive Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Aww, I'm sorry. On the bright side... at least she didn't feel the need to demonstrate it. *now has dinner-flashbacks that involve her family faking sneezes* Link to comment
Jazz Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Oh, that's horrible! Over dinner as well, too! I am so sorry that happened to you. I don't think anybody deserves that kind of torture. ): Link to comment
Joal 555 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (Dr) Pepper..............."What's the worst that can happen"Mother talking about inducing sneezes for a start Link to comment
Nicole Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Ohhhh...that's awful. Really, really, super disgusting.I don't know who you'd shoot in that situation, but SOMEONE needs to be shot. Link to comment
Chanel_no5 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Um... I'm so sorry to laugh at this, I swear I'm not laughing at you but at your mom! Who even initiates a conversation like that?! I'm sorry you had to sit through this, lucky you're still around to tell your tale though! Link to comment
Giant Steps Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Aww, man, I've had this conversation! It was at the dinner table as well, and my Dad thought it would be a great idea to explore an anecdote from his childhood where he would sniff pepper with his brother to purposely induce sneezes, and his mother would wring his neck for it. I empathize Agnes, I do!! Link to comment
Anonymouse Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Wow. Even for a non-fetishist I doubt that would be a very pleasant conversation to have over dinner (or ever, really). Link to comment
Bombast Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hey it could have been much much worse. How about an elderly parent or grandparent actually having a sneezing attack at the dinner table. I'm not talking about 3 or 4 in a row rather quickly and we're done. I'm talking about sloooow and endless with disgusting pre-sneeze face followed by gurgling icky blows. By this time you've completely lost whatever appetite you had and are just frantically looking for a crack in the floor to jump into. Link to comment
chalkdust Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Ok, I find this very amusing and I also feel bad for you at the same time! If it happened to me I wouldn't find it funny however So I do feel your horror at the situation and I'm glad it wasn't me in your position. Link to comment
Butch Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 foreverajerseygirl - oh man.. I missed your posts.. this is just PAINFUL to read, though. What absolute torture.. bet you're glad THAT dinner conversation has passed. UGH. Link to comment
Sneesee Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Ohhhh...that's awful. Really, really, super disgusting.I don't know who you'd shoot in that situation, but SOMEONE needs to be shot. What she said! Heck, if that were me, I might just shoot myself, I think. LOL Link to comment
foreverajerseygirl Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 Oh yeah....it was THAT bad and worse. If the floor could have opened and swallowed me into the pits of hell, I'd have gone. Link to comment
Butch Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 foreverajerseygirl - Your mother doesn't have the fetish, right? She's just.. ultra curious??? *shuddders still at the whole scenario* Link to comment
