When the ice cream is too hard
I don't like it when I try to scoop some ice cream into a bowl, and it's hard to do so because the ice cream is so hard!
Yes, I hate this. It's so annoying because you're trying to shovel some into your bowl, but it's like the ice age in there!
Am I the only one who likes hard ice cream? It tastes better.

When the top of the Oreo won't come off
And when it does, some of the black remains stuck to the cream.

When meat is only cooked on the outside
I eat medium-rare, medium, and medium-well sometimes. I prefer my meat well-done, though.
-
When it contains a hidden ingredient which you can't stomach
-
When there's too much grease
Every time I eat fried food, I have to roll it up in a paper towel and soak up all the excess grease and oil. It's disgusting!
There are times when, even though I know for a fact that I washed my hands after eating, they still feel greasy.
My hands get greasy after that!

When the banana is stringy
Yeah, if I could be healthy without my banana dangling, that'd be great.

When it spreads all over your face

When the chocolate melts too quick
That's the worst! When it melts onto my fingers, I either get a napkin or lick the chocolate off. Then, I have to use the chocolate wrapper to eat it, or else my fingers will get dirty again.
Yes, this sucks. But you know what's worse? When you melt chocolate for decorating something, and it cools too quickly, so you have to keep heating it!
Especially if you're in a car and there are no napkins.
-
When people talk about disgusting stuff during mealtime
My family is Asian, and this occasionally happens.

Random relative: Hey, guess what? *insert name of random kid under age 3 here* once pooped, and it smelled so bad!
Me and my cousins: *facepalm*

When a wing or leg is 80% bone
I'm also on your side because I ordered chicken wings and got chicken bones. Boneless wings are tough to find, too.
Whenever I order food, I might as well walk up to the front counter and ask for a heap of leftover bones.
This should be in the top ten. I ordered buffalo wings, not buffalo bones!

When you pour a bowl of cereal only to find there's no milk
Something so infuriating, I made a Vine about it.

Melted ice cream is gross, and it gets messy really fast!

When a popcorn kernel gets stuck in your throat
So uncomfortable and hard to get rid of.
-
When it smells good and tastes bad
I think I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this, but I think pancakes taste horrible even though I love their smell.

When the cookie is too big for the milk
That has happened to me so many times. I had to break the cookie in half every single time.
