does watching an adult drinking milk infuriate anyone else?

[datasuspect]

that is one of my pet peeves. i simply cannot stand watching a grown person ENJOYING a glass of milk.

[TimeChaser]

1. I like milk

:(

[Dangerously Amused]

2. It just seems kind of squicky and unnatural to me.

I mean, it's not like given the opportunity they would go up to a cow and stark sucking on her teat.

[datasuspect]

4. the consistency, the flavor

milk is right next to mayonnaise on the gag index.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. That's because it is squicky and unnatural.

Humans aren't meant to consume the milk of other animals. No animals are meant to do that.

[datasuspect]

29. i like "squicky"

cool word.

never heard it before.

[Ravenseye]

77. so no cheese either?

[datasuspect]

78. cheese is different

sometimes i wish everything was covered in cheese.

[Ravenseye]

96. I hear ya

I'm just saying...Haruka said that it was unnatural for human's to consume the milk of another animal, and I just wondered if that applied to other animal or particularly milk by products, or if Humans, naturally, should be either vegan, or some strange omnivore who is a vegan + uncooked scavenged meat...because fire is unnatural. ;)

[Shakespeare]

3. Why does it infuriate you?

It grosses me out, but certainly doesn't make me angry. Why on earth would you be infuriated?

[datasuspect]

6. because, goldang it, it plum burns me up!!!!!

don't get me started on phytoplankton - they bring out my self-righteous indignant streak real quick.

[Shakespeare]

10. LOL! Okay, okay....I was just askin'....

:rofl:

[Deja Q]

5. I hate it when people eat bananas.

What's the problem with milk?

[datasuspect]

7. milk is not even good for babies

it's like i can hear them drink it . . . GLUG GLUG GLUG.

thick, nasty, snot like fluid.

[Dangerously Amused]

25. Well, yeah. Just Google "milk" and "pus"...

"...This is a particular problem in the United States, as we have the highest permitted upper limit of milk pus cell concentration in the world -- almost twice the international standard of allowable pus cells (750,000/ml vs. 400,000/ml)<168> By US federal law, Grade A milk is allowed to have over a drop of pus per glass of milk.<6>..."

[libnnc]

69. I *hate* plain milk...won't touch it with a 10 foot pole

When I was a kid, I used to watch my mother drink it out of the plastic jug :puke:

I can only drink chocolate milk if it's really, really cold.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. I like milk.

On the other hand, I don't like onions -- in fact, I think they're horrible -- but it doesn't bother me to see other people eat them. Why would it bother you to see someone else eating or drinking something they like just because you don't like it?

[datasuspect]

11. it's comes from the same voices in my head

that constantly say, "why do they come to me die, why do they come to me to die."

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. Oooookayyyyy....

Think I'll have a nice cold glass of milk now...

[eyesroll]

12. No. But it does irritate me when I'm told I *need* milk.

There are lots of other products -- dairy, fish, produce -- that contain calcium and *don't* make me feel queasy (like more than a few ounces of fluid milk does). It's odd that I'm told as an adult, I need what another species' infants drink in order for me to be healthy.

[Deja Q]

14. From the bottle or from another living being directly?

Presumably a human, but not doubt someone would be bold enough to get under a cow and twiddle the udder's wibblies...

[reyd reid reed]

15. I like milk

I hate to see anyone....anyone, young or old...enjoying a glass of buttermilk, though.

Or eating cottage cheese.

:scared:

[datasuspect]

17. cottage cheese

shiver

[Shakespeare]

27. Ugh. I can't watch anybody eat cottage cheese.

I literally have to leave the table (or, preferably, the room). My throat closes up on me just thinking about it....

[reyd reid reed]

28. Yup. I don't even like to have it in the refrigerator

It might contaminate something else.

:scared:

And buttermilk...my dad used to drink that stuff.

BLECH!!!!!!!

[Pithlet]

16. I love milk.

I don't often drink it by itself, but it's good with certain foods.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

18. I don't like milk , period.

I just don't like milk.I have'nt had any in 12 years.I just don't like it.Its weird I know but sometimes I cringe whenever I think about it.

[bigwillq]

19. I HATE milk.

But I like milk products like cheese.

[mitchum]

20. I can't stand hearing an adult use the word "pee" in reference to...

urination. If you are going to use a vulgarism, just say "piss"
It really does drive me crazy.

[datasuspect]

23. or "tinkle"

i know this guy who will say, "i gotta go potty." he is 48.

[Arugula Latte]

46. I often say "tinkle," but it's sort of meant as a joke.

My mom said that to us as kids, and I started saying it to my kids, and then I ask my husband if he has to tinkle. I don't know, it just amuses me ...

Tinkle.

It's funny.

:rofl:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

21. I saw the coolest thing on tv the other day...

It was about the new milk factories. They let the cows roam around the barn and they decide when they get milked. Then when the machine is doing the sucking, it imitates the actions of the calf. It was all really awesome and very humane. The cow even liked getting her udders disinfected. This was on either Discovery or Animal Planet.
Is it really one of your pet peeves, or are you being silly? If you're not just being silly, dude, you've got to get a hobby.
Duckie

[datasuspect]

26. i don't have time for hobbies

i have to sit there in my basement apartment that reeks of cat urine and overfilled ashtrays figuring out ways the corner merchant is trying to rip me off.

and those new people that just moved in - they just don't LOOK right. what is it with the in and out in and out . . . like a herd of freakin elephants.

no, i have serious things to deal with like that.

and the mailman . . . don't get me started. i think he delays my SSI check on purpose.

[auntAgonist]

22. I love a nice ice cold glass of milk, unfortunately it doesn't

like me :(

So, I settle for a sip once in a while.

aA
:hi:

[hippiechick]

24. WTF?

I'm a Wisconsin girl and I have a big, tall glass of ice cold 2% with dinner EVERY NIGHT ! Even if I'm at a restaurant.

I'd say you have a problem, if something that minor bothers you.



Just my .02 :hi:

[MissMillie]

30. I LOVE MILK!

besides, what do YOU dunk your Oreos in?

[datasuspect]

31. scotch

[greatauntoftriplets]

39. If it's not single malt...

you'd might as well dunk them into milk.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

34. Silk Vanilla Soymilk.

:P

[AlCzervik]

32. Do you see many adults drinking milk? The only adult i see drinking milk

is my husband, usually after scarfing down and entire package of double stuff oreos.

[datasuspect]

33. luckily not

but the memory of the few times has been seared irrevocably into the tissues of my mind.

[driver8]

100. That's when I drink it -- with cookies!!

I get these Chocolate Cats from Trader Joe's (they are supposed to be low fat, but not when you eat as many as I do!). They taste so good with milk...

[Redstone]

35. No. Why?

I can't drink milk because I'm not white, but that doesn't mean it should gross me out to see someone else do it.

I'm allergic to shellfish as well, but I don't mind someone else eating those things that look like either

1) Bugs, like lobsters or shrimps, or
2) Snot, like clams or oysters.

Redstone

[datasuspect]

37. shhh.

don't tell anybody, but this is a more or less nonsense post based partly on one particular experience: an ex-gf of mind used to drink tall glasses of milk and for some reason it repulsed me. as i grew to dislike her more and more, that was just more fuel for the fire.

[Redstone]

40. Now THAT, I understand.

I won't tell anyone. I am intimately aware of what you mean.

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. My dear datasuspect!

OK, just what is your problem, dude?

I happen to love milk......and I drink nonfat milk every day!

And......get this......my bone density is off the charts!

Forgive my snark.......this just got me going..........:hug:

[datasuspect]

38. damn!

if i can piss you off, i must truly be an asshole of the highest caliber.

i don't know whether to be proud or ashamed.

is there a german word for the mixture of both?

smooches, i still love ya!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. My dear datasuspect!

Nah, I'm not really pissed off...just a little frustrated at my inability to get something into my Photoshop program...

I took my frustrations out on you, sweetie!

Smooches back atcha!

Besides, I read what you and Redstone said to each other above......

:loveya:

[bikebloke]

41. I like milk.

Though I don't drink a lot. Corporate produced milk is obviously watered down. Whole Foods' house brand is good. I once had chilled milk in a dairy before any processing. Now that was a good glass of milk.

At least it's out in the open. We're enemies. I shall stroll by your house with a milk mustache <evil laughter>.

[datasuspect]

42. it's better that way

be forewarned, i have a very effective kung fu style informed by the fluid motions of disco movement.

even more dangerous on roller skates.

[Downtown Hound]

43. Well, I'm lactose intolerant

So for air quality purposes, I stay away from dairy milk. Soy Milk on the other hand, is good stuff, particularly the Vanilla enriched kind.

I don't understand why it grosses you out though. It's just a white liquid.

[Telly Savalas]

45. It's OK with me so long as they're discreet about it.

[Aristus]

47. I love milk.

LOOOOOOOOVE it!

I drink 1%. Is that squicky?

[SoyCat]

48. I don't really care whether other adults drink milk; however, I can't

stand the stuff. I do love Organic Valley soy milk.

[Generic Brad]

49. Here is what I think of milk

:puke:

The rest of you are entitled to your own opinions.

[Skittles]

50. cannot stand milk

blech

[Skittles]

51. cannot stand milk

blech

[begin_within]

52. Mmm... warm chocolate chip cookies with ice-cold milk! Be right back.

[smirkymonkey]

53. Yes - I absolutely hate milk and it makes me sick to my stomach

if I see anybody else drinking it either. Even a child. I was forced to drink it as a kid and I react violently to milk drinkers :nuke:

I really don't think I could date someone, and I definitely couldn't kiss someone who was a milk drinker.

[Withywindle]

54. Nah. What infuriates me is when my boyfriend drinks the Half & Half

Yes, he DOES.

It infuriates me because it comes in such little bottles and he doesn't always leave enough for my morning coffee.

[begin_within]

55. So does watching people eat cheese infuriate you? What about ice cream?

[datasuspect]

79. cheese passes muster

stinky cheese, sublime

[begin_within]

95. I don't see much difference between eating cheese and drinking milk...

[datasuspect]

98. milk has the consistency of mucus

cheese is often semi-soft, hard, crumbly, but in all respects a solid.

solid and liquid are two entirely different states of matter.

don't make me get the united states cheese council after ya!

[begin_within]

99. I'm ready for them with my grater!

[crim son]

56. Milk is my favorite beverage.

It goes with everything and it tastes great! What's your problem? Lol.

[El Fuego]

57. got milk?

[The Animator]

58. Why are you so intolerant of lactose lovers?

Tounge planted firmly in cheek.

[bertha katzenengel]

59. Why not?

:shrug: I love milk.

[Random_Australian]

60. ???

This seems to me like a very strange thing to get peeved about.

[Elidor]

61. It's watching midgets drink milk that infuriates me!

Those little fuckers. Who do they think they are?!?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

62. I love milk.

I was born and raised in dairy country- there was a cow pasture beyond our back property line. I've had milk straight from the tap (so to speak) and it's MUCH better than the 2% stuff I drink now.

I drink several cups of milk a day- in fact, I just finished off a tall cold one.

Moo.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

63. I used to drink a lot of it when I was a kid, but I stopped

being able to drink a plain glass of milk sometime when I was in college.

I still like it on cereal and in tea (but not in coffee) and cocoa, but the idea of having milk with a meal or even with cake doesn't appeal to me at all anymore.

By the way, I've noticed that most of the adults who drink milk regularly are male. I can't think of any grown women I currently know who (or ever have known) who drink milk, but a couple of boyfriends and several platonic male friends were milk drinkers.

[WCGreen]

64. I thought this was another public Breastfeeding thread....

[BamaGirl]

65. Well I find it

squicky but no more than catfish or chicken lol. Each their own I guess lol.

[swag]

66. I take it to the Lord in prayer. It gets me through.

[LeftyMom]

67. Well, I'd rather they did it in private, but whatever turns them on-

oh wait, cow's milk? Yeah, that's fucking disgusting at any age unless you're a calf.

[Dem2theMax]

68. Tell us. Really. You write for the Onion, yes?

You'd literally HATE me. I haven't gone a day without milk in 50 years! I couldn't imagine it.

If this is what upsets you - :crazy:

[njdemocrat106]

70. It doesn't infuriate me, but I still don't like drinking milk

I'm not a vegeterian or vegan, but I prefer the taste of soy milk to cow's milk. Of course the only time I come close to drinking any kind of milk is when I eat cereal.

[sasquatch]

71. Why do you hate America.....and kittens?

:cry: :silly:

[Sugar Smack]

72. Infuriate? No. I can't say it does

But then I have a really high "pain" threshold. :rofl: :hi:

[billyskank]

73. Now I've read EVERYTHING

Even the most innocuous of activites can infuriate SOMEONE on DU.

[Sugar Smack]

74. Are you saying milk-drinking is INNOCUOUS?

:rofl: Heh, heh.

[billyskank]

75. So I used to think

I had no idea it was so CONTROVERSIAL :wtf:


:hi:

[Maine-ah]

76. mmmm, I love milk.

We grew up drinking milk straight from the cow. No processing of any kind and the cream would rise to the top of the glass container and I'd just shake it up. Now, I still drink tons of milk, love the stuff. Drink only non-hormoned stuff. If I could afford to have a cow, I would.

Most of the foods that I had as a kid were straight from a farm. My father was a teacher and most every teacher at the highschool either had a garden or a farm of some kind and they would swap all sorts of stuff. Every year we'd get a couple of pigs for the freezer, fresh milk all the time, fresh eggs, fresh beef, fresh veggies. Let me tell you something else, four kids in my family, and we were NEVER sick. We had the basics, you know, like chicken pox, but no colds, no flu...

[femmocrat]

80. Bit of an over reaction, don't you think?

Maybe a nice glass of warm milk would calm your nerves?

:shrug:

[datasuspect]

82. if i can have an IV drip of morphine sulfate, i might consider it

[El Fuego]

81. You can use milk to make an excellent cornflake coating for fried chicken

[datasuspect]

83. i prefer potato chip encrusted fried chicken

anybody have any other good chicken recipes?

[buddhamama]

84. dude,

how did you get 80+ responses to this thread? your powers are astounding! :wow:

i don't drink milk and haven't for many yrs, but it does make me angry or ill to watch someone else drink it.

[datasuspect]

85. i think it is a first for me

and none of the pathologically indignant showed up . . .

[buddhamama]

92. heehee

i remeber one thread in particular, your attempt to appease was hysterical. it still makes me laugh :D

[datasuspect]

93. shhh.

go easy on particulars, i am in stealth mode right now.

[buddhamama]

94. gotcha...

your identity is safe with me.

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

86. My dad always drinks milk. His favorite meal is vegetable pizza with milk

I'm still not sure if he's sane
<_<
>_>

[datasuspect]

88. my brother will eat pasta and sauce

and drink a glass of milk.

i usually have to leave the room.

[NewWaveChick1981]

87. No.

Dude, you have way too much time on your hands. :rofl: :hi:

:* :loveya:

[datasuspect]

89. if that damn mailman didn't have it in for me

and wouldn't play games with my SSI check, i could go blow my money at the nudie bar.

[JVS]

90. I hate that I'm not allowed to drink from women's breasts in public

It shouldn't matter that I'm no longer an infant. If lactating women agree to feed me, then that's our own business.

[datasuspect]

91. yes, i am for natural feeding

liberate the boobies!

[Heidi]

97. Infuriated? Nope.

Grossed out? Yes.
