I can't decide. Should I brush my upper teeth before my lower teeth or vice versa? Help!!!

Yes, you should.

The other way would be silly.

Make up all the sob story scenarios you can come up with and I'll still think the LW is a pathetic excuse for an adult. If you're old enough to get a job you're old enough to figure out what to have for lunch without asking some anonymous column writer for advice. Geez just grow up.

The corporate recruiters I've known routinely, proactively answer questions like this before sending candidates for interviews for professional, white-collar positions.

Not only what to order and how to eat it, but also ...

what kind of tie to wear (always SILK), what color shirt and tie...

what to say in the first minute, what to say at the end of each interview,

what NOT to say...

what color suit to wear, for women, what kind of shoes to wear...

how to answer awkward questions...

You think the LW is pathetic, I think s/he is smart to ask, even is s/he was sure of the likely answers.

OMG unless you're a child you should be able to figure out what to eat for lunch all by yourself. If you're pathetic loser then you write to Dear Abby or whoever to see what you should order for lunch. If you're that pathetic then just go home and go to bed like the baby you are.

Convincing anyone of what? If you're so worried about what to order for lunch how the hell do you decide what to wear every day. My estimation of you goes down with every post.

How nice of you to miss the point completely.

How many high pressure group interviews have YOU gone through, that included lunch with the group? I'm sure you'd be surprised at all the things a good recruiter could teach you.

She's right. It's ridiculous to write into an advice column about eating a sandwich.

I would not want someone so inept on my team. Can't believe anyone would.

It' something that should have been learned a long time ago. Like the first or second time you ever had one.

Alright flan. Point out where I called anyone here a name. Again you're trying to start trouble with me. You're so quick to point out what you call bullying while you try to do it to me again and again. You're just so tolerant I can barely stand it. I do wish I could tell you exactly what I think but I would be banned for that...

You'd be amazed (as was I) at how many job applicants have to be told to (1) chew with their mouths closed and (2) swallow before speaking.

Too many parents don't teach things like that.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Well that is just the point, isn't it?

By your 20s, you should know this stuff no matter what your parents did or didn't do. You have been around long enough to have gleaned basic etiquette.

You're right. It reaches a lot more stupid people. If anyone this insecure showed up at an interview I was involved with (I was a senior recruiter for almost 20 years) they wouldn't have lasted 10 minutes in.

p.s. Maybe you need to grow up and not take what other posters say so personally. Calling all your friends over to gang up is pretty childish too. Go ahead and deny it but too many times you start with me then they all show up to join you. If you don't like this board then maybe you need to go start your own because I'm certainly not going to.

Seems to me your the one who thinks you're the perfect poster. I have a differing opinion than you so you need to insinuate that I'm the one who thinks they're perfect but never once have I tried to tell YOU how to post. Oh and I wasn't calling the LW a loser for asking a question but I called her or him a loser for the question that was asked. You are a LOSER if you can't figure out what to eat for lunch without help from an advice column by the time you're an adult.

Oh get over yourself, nobody "called me over".

And you're DAMN RIGHT I'm flan's friend, always have been always will be. Three are plenty of times when I disagree with her and when I do I don't follow her from thread to thread refusing to let it go.

I find you to be a sad, sad person who's obsession with flan more than a little annoying. And that's MY opinion which I came up with ON MY OWN that NO ONE helped me to form thank you very much.

Tinydancer · Guru

Hahahahaha..I follow her? I've been posting about the topic. You and flan have been posting about me. Get over yourself and just ignore me if you don't like what I post instead of making it personal every time I disagree. You both pretend to be so tolerant and would never bully any one yet every thread you two get together sometimes with others to poke at me. Ignore me as I plan to do to you unless you keep falsely accuse me of calling names when I did no such thing. Just because neither one of you know how to have a discussion without acting like teenagers don't take it out on me. I also find it annoying that a mod has decided to join the bully patrol.

Actually, if you go back and actually READ my post (Instead of ASS-uming), you will see that I didn't mention you in ANY way. In fact, if you read ANYTHING at all (instead of just ASS-uming), you will see that you were not the ONLY one harshly bashing the LW. So why don't you stop thinking you're so special and that everything is about you?

Don't pull that victim card out just yet. You ain't no where near a victim around here.

I know you are not real big on it, but you are responsible for your actions. If you don't like the way you are being treated, then change the way you are treating others. Take responsibilty for yourself.
