I am a pepper fiend. I put pepper on practically everything but sweets. My question is, could that be misconstrued as an insult?
My brother's girlfriend kindly made dinner for our family for the first time, a few weeks back. Chicken. Of course, I went nuts with the pepper shaker. The way she looked at me really hurt my feelings. I don't think she purposely shot me down. I think she was just more in shock that I had the nerve to do that. She eats dinner with us everynight, though. She knows my routine. It's nothing new. I still felt like a jerk. I didn't say anything then, but I probably should have. Now it's too late, and I would just like to gather multiple opinions for future reference. I'd hate to unintentionally put somebody (who so generously devoted their time and effort to please me) down.
So if you worked all day to prepare a meal for your guests (even family) and someone were to pepper the hell out of it, would you take offense?
I wouldn't take offense over a silly thing such as pepper.
My mom likes to put sour cream on everything. She puts it in soup, mac && cheese, ect. I like to put sour cream on my pancakes, because I like it that way.
People have their different fetishes. Your brother's girlfriend already knows that you put pepper on everything, so she should be used to it. It's not like it's a huge surprise that you do that with your food.
If she gives you any strange looks, continue putting it on. Don't put on an act for her. If it's what you like, and what you want to do with your food, then go right ahead. It's not like you're picking little pieces of chicken, making disgusted looks, and flicking them aside, you know?
You're going to be eating the food, so you should be the one deciding what you want to do with it.
Hope I helped!

(Rating: 5) Well, I can't help but worry about the feelings of others, but you're absolutely right. Logic says to do what I please, since I am the one consuming what's placed on my plate. I really appreciate your time and effort. You've been a big help!
