where do you want to go for lunch?

Does this ever happen to you? it's lunch time and you ask a friend or co-worker if they want to go to lunch.

me: "hey - wanna go to lunch?"
friend: "sure!"
me: "where do you want to go?"
friend: "I don't care"
me: "how about chipotle?"
friend: "nah - i had mexican yesterday?"
me: "how about Noodles?"
friend: "nah - i'm trying to watch my carbs"
me: "toyko joe's?"
friend: "no - those veggies give me gas"
me: "I thought you didn't care"
friend "i don't"
me (annoyed): "well..obviously you have something in mind. i'll keep guessing and let me know when I guess correctly"

I love to eat. And I know the things I like to eat. (ie. pancakes, chips/salsa/guac, luna bars, izzie drinks, boston baked beans, and a bunch of other stuff)

Usually when I am ready to eat I know exactly what i want and where I want to go.

So nowadays when I ask someone if they want to go to lunch it goes like this:

me: "i'm going to chipotle for lunch. wanna come?"
friend: "no - i had mexican yesterday"
me: "ok...catch you later then!"

I know that's a little bull-headed and some of the people closest to me feel my MO is "my way or the highway". I'd like to think i'm a bit flexible and am willing to accommodate people but i'm not going to get in a guessing game.

It's not world peace! it's friggin' lunch! speak up!

All I have to say is - life is short - if you are set on eating something specific you better speak up otherwise I know where I'm going! ;)

Great post, C. I'm like your opposite. I don't know where I want to go, but will go anywhere. You say you're going to Chipotle? Fine with me, count me in. Going to Spice China? Sounds good, let me get my jacket. Pancakes? I'm there. ;)
