Tuna sandwich lunch

[on_the_hill]

Is it a venial or mortal sin to eat a tuna sandwich at work?

 

[on_the_hill]

Well, in truth I’m eating leftover salmon, which isn’t exactly tuna but still potentially problematic.

if eating a tuna sandwich at work is a sin then stinking up the office with your burnt bag of microwave popcorn is right up there with blasphemy of the Holy Spirit… unforgivable.

Not if they didn’t know you would find the smell offensive.

 

[on_the_hill]

Thank you. I feel much relieved.

 

[EricF]

Only if there is enough red onion on it to smell like armpits.

When I was in grad school, every so often a small group of fellow students from a faraway land would use the student lounge’s microwave to reheat a fish meal. It drove everyone else out of the room every time.

Venial or mortal depends on in whose trashcan the related tuna sandwich trash is deposited.

What is this I don’t even

Please tell me you didn’t heat up that fish in a break room with in close proximity to a waiting room full of people with gastroenteritis.

If you’re meaning me—no, it was a cold sandwich, I have a mostly private office, and am nowhere near anyone with a gastro-anything. But nonetheless, odorous fish can travel as fast as email.

No trash. Reusable plastic box.

Lingering stench contained in sealable container. Air freshener as a work of mercy, and you’re in the clear.

The real sin is using real mayo instead of Miracle Whip…

a Tuna sandwich is polite compared to some of the vile offerings I have seen! Imagine beets in cottage cheese. Someone actually did that.

One time a person made a microwaveable meal that had an excessive amount of garlic flavoring in my office and it stunk up the office to point I was gagging and had to go outside.

An egg salad sandwich is the real sin sandwich!

 

[CilladeRoma]

Am I missing some type of joke?

Why would you think that eating a tuna sandwich for lunch at work would be any kind of sin?

 

[Canvas]

egg salad can be totally licit. Not all egg salad smells strongly.

There is a cafeteria near where I work that makes killer egg salad sandwiches that don’t have much of a smell at all.

 

[Canvas]

It is a joke. Some people don’t like the smell of tunafish or other foods and object when co-workers eat them.

 

[LoganBryce]

Egg salad sandwich is the bomb.
