9. Speaking and Listening
I can’t bear olives and I can’t understand why anyone would like them. The first time I tried an olive, I just couldn’t believe that anyone would think that slimy texture and peculiar flavour was edible. I wanted to spit it straight out but I was on a French exchange so had to be polite and find a way to swallow the hideous ball of slime without openly gagging. The worst thing is that I can’t order some of my favourite foods in restaurants out of fear that someone will have smuggled some of those evil repulsive nuggets of nastiness into them. Pizza, pasta, salad, even sandwiches have all been defiled by people thinking olives would improve their flavour, when in fact they are like small grenades spreading disgustingness through perfectly nice food.
