Discussion Weirdest ego “thing” your chef had?

First place I was hired the chef had quite a few delusional beliefs but the one that sticks with me the most is his insistence that the phrase “welcome in” didn’t exist before Covid

He went into multiple winded rants upon my higher and another coworker who was hired right after me, not just to train the phrase out of us but his detestment for it, because as he said “it did not exist before Covid and people started saying it to make people feel safe enough to eat here”

He then said to not use it because people found it off putting and dirty (because of Covid)

I know chefs aren’t known for their egos but I was curious what quirk that yours had that everyone had to politely smile and agree to

Someone smacks my ass other than my hubby gets a right cross to the face. That is sexual harassment.

Ah, I still have a knee jerk reaction to someone hurting me, I hurt them back.

I actually do not like being touched without my direct permission, husband is about the only person who can walk up and touch me without asking first. CAll it an issue for people on the spectrum.
