Person A goes to an all-you-can-eat buffet. To their surprise, they find that Person B and a few of their friends have proudly filled the place with caviar. Person A has no problems with caviar - they quite enjoy the delicacy when they’ve tried it, though they tend to be a meat-and-potatoes kind of person. But this - this is a lot of caviar.
Person A: That…is a lot of caviar. Person B: I’m sorry? Person A: I said, that’s a lot of caviar, haha. Person B: You got a problem with caviar? Person A: No, there’s just a lot of it. Person B: Why are you hating on caviar? Person A: I don’t hate caviar! Person B: Then why are you talking about it? Person A: Because there’s a mountain of caviar right in front of me. It’s a little weird. Person B: So caviar is weird? Person A: What, no, I didn’t say that. Caviar is caviar. It’s the mountains of caviar that’s out of the ordinary. You don’t normally see mountains of caviar. That’s kind of worthy of note. Person B: You need to stop talking shit about caviar. Person A: …you know what? I just want a burger. Person B: Burgers are better than caviar now? Person A: It’s not an either/or situation. You eat your mountains of caviar and I’ll go find my burger. Person B: You saying we should take our caviar and leave? Or we should just stop eating our caviar? Person A: I never said that.
Admittedly, my position in this argument is pretty obvious, but I swear to God, this is what this discussion sounds like to me.
I'd compare it more to a potluck where Group B brought a fair amount of curries and are discussing cooking tips, recipe ideas, etc. Person A brought a pie crust. It has potential and some people have expressed interest in it, but no one's decided to make a filling for it.
Person A asks why there's so much activity around the curry.
This is the most excitement the lunchroom has seen in days. Part of it (no one knows how large or small) erupts into chaos as people throw food, jump on tables, yell for order, and many other things. Some people sit perfectly still in their chairs and talk about what a nice lunch it is even as food and chairs go flying past their heads. Some stand guard over their dishes with a switchblade, threatening to cut anyone who looks at it wrong. Some climb on top of things for a better view, eating popcorn and throwing the seeds at people's heads. There are multiple attempts to take surveys and arguments over the motive and methodology of said surveys. Some people are arguing over whether Jupiter or Saturn is the most fuckable planet. It is unclear how they got to that point. Some people sigh and go back to their desks to play minesweeper. Some people remember it as the Great Curry War of '16. Some think it's just another Saturday
The next week, group C comes in with lasagnas and the process begins anew
