You'll change your mind

Imagine you go to a restaurant with a friend, and they decide that the best thing on the menu is the lasagne.

You, however want to order the risotto. Perhaps you don't like pasta*. Perhaps you think that lasagne is a fine choice, it's just not what you want.

But your friend insists they are right. So right that they order the lasagne then send the waitress away because they think you should give it another hour, just in case you want to change your mind.



So you sit there, and you watch them eating their lasagne, but you still don't want any. And a little voice at the back of your mind goes I never told you that you wouldn't like the lasagne, why do you have the right to tell me that I would like the lasagne? Out loud of course you say nothing. You like this person. You're not entirely sure why, but you do. Maybe it's because you know deep down that the majority of people around you are also having lasagne, and it seems like they would agree that lasagne is just the best.

Finally the waitress comes back, finally you- hungry and annoyed- get to order what you wanted all along.

Your friend, finished with her lasagne and now onto dessert sits there and tells you that you'll regret it when the heartburn sets in, and that you won't have time for dessert. You now have to explain that you didn't want dessert and that risotto never gives you heartburn anyway.

She won't believe you.

Now why, why would you just not call back the waitress at the beginning of the meal and order the risotto? You wouldn't right? Your friend is being unreasonable, and thinking she knows what you want. So why do we let people get away with using the same damn logic about our nether regions?

If you want the risotto, order the risotto.

*Bonus round- in this world not liking pasta means that everyone thinks that you hate pasta and want all pasta to be banned.
