The bomb shelter thread.

They call them biscuits and serve them with gravy. Foolishly ordered biscuits and gravy as a starter in a place in Idaho. Still have the stretch marks.

My Mrs ordered a ‘country breakfast’ in the US recently….
Bacon, sausage (patty), biscuits, country potatoes and a white ‘gravy’. The latter it transpired was predominantly ‘sausage dripping’
Proper dose of the wildies about 2 hours later ?
 

In a completely unrelated aside, does anyone know what's wrong with people who work night shifts?
Like some of them are ok, but the percentage of unhinged lunatics amongst them is terrifying.

Had a late final break in work today and sat at one of the big tables in our cafeteria.
Some of the night shift get in a an hour or 2 before their shift starts to have their tea, grab a brew etc. as we have decent facilities there.

This creature parks himself near me who, for some reason stunk of engine oil and starts loudly emptying the contents of his two full to bursting bags for life on to the table.
First his brew. He takes out a full size jar of coffee, a whole bag of sugar and a 4 pint bottle of milk (Why are you taking that much to work with you?) and a travel mug that looks like it's been dredged from the bottom of a canal.

Then he brings out a little microwave ready meal (Spaghetti & Meatballs) and begins stabbing at the plastic on the top with his fork like the intro from Psycho.

He heads off to the microwave and returns cursing at the little tray of pasta which is now clearly scalding his fingers. He rummages in his bag and bring out a tub of dried mixed herbs of some sort and tips a thick layer of it over his microwaved pasta. Surely it's better to do this before cooking it so the dried herbs rehydrate a little in the sauce instead of tipping them over dry when it's already done? It must be like eating the contents of a dry teabag in tomato sauce?
Back in the bag for his pepper - at least half of that goes over the spag & balls.

For the finale, he brings out (I swear he has a full cupboards worth of condiments in his bag) the salt. It's one of those big white plastic bottles of salt you get from the super markets and begins tipping it over his ready meal. Not the perforated bit, no, the wide bit that you use to refill your salt seller with.
Like dumps an ungodly amount of salt over the microwaved mess. I thought it must have been a mistake, but no, he stirs the resulting chaos, tastes it and then... adds more salt. It must be over a table spoon at this point.
I'm looking around frantically to see if anyone else has spotted this MANIAC at work. Should I raise the alarm? Is this just some sort of hallucination?

He then ate an entire tin of fruit salad (and drank the syrup) in a blue plastic prison bowl for desert.

Is this normal?
