The wife asks me why did I put onions, because she doesn't eat them.
This one drives me crazy. Being in the food business, i know that 90% of all cooked food is cooked with onions as a primary ingredient, yet i get people all the time try to tell me they are allergic to onions.
A person would probably starve to death if they were truly allergic to onions!

Allergies are a great catch all for avoiding things someone doesn't want to do.
BUT, there are enough people with legit allergies that you can't tell which ones are truly allergic from those who just want to be.

When I was young, we had sugar. If you went to a restaurant and wanted to sweeten your drink, you had sugar as your option. Printed on the packets were nifty cars and boats for whatever reason, and I have no idea why they did that. It's sort of like putting the picture of a baby's head on something I'm going to wipe my arse with (toilet paper)...makes no sense.
Yes, I understand that sugar does not dissolve easily in tea for instance, but I want to box the ears of every whippersnapper who demands exactly one yellow, two blue and 5/8s of a pink packet in order to enjoy their cancerous drink.
Of course, why should I care? I'm not the one drinking it. I'm merely old and bitter. Perhaps a bit of pink would sweeten me up.

I'm with you on this. Everything from "ewww, this has mushrooms in it", to "i won't eat tomato sauce that has pieces of tomato in it".
My daughter grew up as a great eater, then she married a guy from Alabama, the state motto is "if it ain't BBQ or fried, it ain't food". Now the whole family is picky".

My sister in law from Shreveport is like that.Refuses to even try anything ... mainly wants to eat at chains.
One time she and my brother were visiting us in Baton Rouge and he wanted Vietnamese. We were headed to Little Saigon even though she had made it clear she wanted no part of it. I politely told her that was tough, because the other 5 people in the party (KIDS included) wanted Little Saigon, and we weren't going to all change our plans just for her. I assured her there were pedestrian items on the menu and I'd guide her through.
After we got in our cars, she made my brother's life a living hell until he called me and said he changed his mind and wanted to go to Applebee's. Then we get there and she gets out trying to appease the Wife and I, telling us "isn't this good? There's something for everyone here to eat!"
I looked her dead in the face, and told her no, there was nothing for me in that sh!thole, and that she was the only one who wanted to eat there and it was pretty fekkin' inconsiderate. Never went to eat with her again. Will not. Ever.

Is your sister in law my mother in law? That sounds very familiar. I think we are related.

Maybe not minor. One of the first if not the first post I think I ever made on this board was about my biggest pet peeve relating to food - changing a recipe before trying it !!!
I have a go to casserole recipe that everyone that has ever tried it likes a lot. During a conversation about recipes a lady I worked with asked for my casserole recipe. No problem, I gave it to her so she could do it for the weekend since her family was coming to town.
She comes to me first thing Monday morning and told me she threw away the recipe because nobody liked the dish. I started laughing because I knew she had to be kidding. SHE WASN'T. During questioning she admitted she changed some of the ingredients but that my recipe was not good at all.
Sometime later after I had forgotten about her and my recipe we had a luncheon at work. I made my casserole the night before and just warmed it up before we ate.
Afterwards the lady came up and told me that the casserole was indeed very delicious and had the audacity to ask for the recipe again. You only get one opportunity to throw one of my recipes away and I never gave it to her the second time.

Another one which quite a few people have mentioned here about picky eaters relates to the same recipe.
I made the casserole for a couple/few family and friends get-togethers over time. One day a friend calls and tells me her husband loves the casserole and wants her to make it for him. I give her the ingredients and she was astonished because it included mushrooms (cream of mushroom soup) and Dave HATES mushrooms and cannot eat them.
She decides to do the recipe and just not tell him. Over the years this has become a favorite dish for their family and the kids request it all the time and especially for special occasions (birthdays, graduations, etc).
Dave calls me one day. He's at the grocery store and has decided he wants the chicken rotel casserole. When giving him the ingredients I purposely save the mushrooms for last. The long silence on the other end of the phone after the last ingredient was hilarious.
All those years of telling people he did not like and could not eat mushrooms, trying to convince his kids that they did not like or could not eat mushrooms and all along one of his favorite dishes had mushrooms in it and everyone knew it except him.

Another funny Dave story is he always does special orders, yes even for fast food drive-throughs. One day while we were still youngsters on the way back from the lake we stopped at Sonic. He ordered a burger with nothing but tomatoes and lettuce or something like that. When we got home to eat and he opened his food, Sonic had given him a bun with tomato and lettuce only - NO MEAT !!!
It was funny because the environment around there the rest of the night was similar to if we had won the lottery as a group - except for Dave anyway. I guess after you pull to the side enough to have spent multiple hours pulled to the side, any little bit of payback is grandiose.

1. When people invite me for a spaghetti dinner and use ragu or other canned sauce. It blows my mind that so few people (especially women my age) can't make a simple homemade sauce.
2. People who would rather eat at chain restaurants than good local places.

I don't know if they're related, but they're obviously both a real pain in the arse.
Picky arse people who refuse to even TRY other things are ridiculous. At least TRY it ... if you still don't like it, then fine. Don't be so close minded.
It crosses the line for me when it goes beyond their own food and they start affecting other people's dinner plans or asking other people to change their recipes. That's just rude and inconsiderate imo.

Over cooked asparagus
No reason to grill or roast asparagus for so long it turns yellow and is basically mush. It takes 3 freaking minutes over hot coals or a hot pan. You're not cooking a 3 inch ribeye people.

Bugs the shite out of me too. I honestly don't care if you don't like something but I insist that you should at least try it. If you can't accept that your tastes change as you age then there's no hope for you. I mean, why aren't still gobbling down Twizzlers and Nerds every chance you get?
