Topics that are appropriate for dinner conversation

It is for some people in some circumstances.

Maybe.. but to not say anything then complain that it offended you, is a bit odd.

FFS, why are people being so fucking thick today?

Probably the same reason some people got out of bed the wrong side

I find talking about vomiting doesn't really get a big enough reaction, I try to concentrate on faeces.

2 of my friends once had a bet to see how quickly they could get me talking about the current state of my bowels. It took less than 3 minutes.

It's nothing to do with my bed, it's PMT

It's not 'odd' to be upset about something but not say anything at the time. It happens to me all the time. And I dare you to tell me I'm odd

Why not say something like "can we not talk about throwing up while eating" and change the subject.

It's not difficult.

That's what I'd do. I'd prefix it with a "no offence but... " if it was work colleagues and "dude srsly..." if it was a friend.

That's just really childish

Her: I once vomited in someones house because I some meat. I'm a vegetarianism, you know...! Hee Hee...
Me: Can we not talk about throwing up while eating...?

Coleague: Yes, I'm into copography. Lets talk about that instead.

I should have mentioned before but the vomit talker was senior to me and is quite a bold, confident, and fearsome woman. Teeth, claws, and appetite like She'd have eaten me alive if I had said anything.

i can be the same. there's been loads when i've wanted to say something but haven't heard the nerve too and have been left kicking myself afterwards. i can um and ahh about saying something for so long that by the time i've thought "yes, i will" the conversation has completely moved on. not everyone is confident or outspoken or good at getting their point across or even getting themselves heard.

I introduced my missus to a couple I know and she started talking about dysentery over a bbq the other day. She shut up when she realised what she was doing.

lol etc

sometimes you feel worse after saying something. I rarely find piping up makes me feel more comfortable and at ease.
