I once lived with two guys (a partner of mine, and his cousin), neither of whom ever did any cleaning whatsoever, so it all fell on me (the only woman, no surprise there.)

One day I took out the mop and started mopping the kitchen. The cousin started criticizing the way I was mopping, so I handed him the mop and told him, "If you're so good at it, maybe you should be doing it instead." He never criticized my cleaning again.

Some people have a (genetic?) predisposition to really like salt on things. I had a friend where most of their family salted things you wouldn’t expect and had lots of salty foods. Salt on melon slices for instance, snack foods like pickles and such. Dad died of a heart attack. No idea if it’s related.

I'm ethnically East-Asian but grew up in the UK/Canada. Born in the lower class and I'm middle-ish myself now.

I watched a lot of Gordon Ramsey and I finally decided to shell out for a fancy meal with my brother at the Savoy. I swear, everything tasted way too salted ... like every course except for the dessert. I was like, "damn, rich people love salt I guess?" or maybe it's just what I grew up with that I underseason things but man it was weird.
