I'd like to take this little wedge of time I have left after eating lunch to bitch about something quickly that has been irritating me since I got to Japan. . .
WHY do these women think only men should have extra food? Whenever there is another lunch or unequal portions of food for our lunches, the people serving up (usually the office ladies) don't even think twice about making sure the men get it. Only the men. Even if they don't want it!
Today, I watched the guy sitting across from me make a face of agony as the lunch lady of the day brought over a whole tray of food that no one claimed. He was clearly full and didn't want any of it, but he took a bit anyway. Then, she skipped right over me and went to the other young guy across the room who shoved his face full also struggling to fit it all in his tiny stomach.
This has been the case several times since I have come to Japan and it still baffles me. I understand these women are mostly paper thin and don't want to pack themselves full of food, but I am not quite the same. I'm a pretty big girl and I LOVE TO EAT. I wish there was even the thought of offering that extra food to me. . . it's just the way they think and anyone who thinks otherwise is an outcast and that is not what people do here. I HATE it.
Sincerely,
~Hungry Me
