Got a bone to pick?

Ok everyone... has this ever happened to you? Picture this scenario: You're sitting down having a delicious, juicy hamburger or cheeseburger from your favorite fast food place. Suddenly, after you take a bite into that burger, you feel something wedge itself between your molars. Is it a sesame seed? No. Is it a piece of rubbery gristle? No. You run to get the dental floss. You floss and floss. You pick and prod. You bleed and panic. That thing is still stuck between your teeth! You floss some more. More bleeding. It's not coming out, whatever it is! The panicky feeling commences. You think to yourself, "What will I do if I can't get this thing out of my teeth?? It's Wednesday! My dentist is golfing today!" You try to return to your meal, staring at the burger like it is a demon from hell sent to ruin your day. It seems to stare back at you with a menacing grin. You very carefully try to chew the rest of the burger with only your front teeth. Annoyed that you can't enjoy your meal, you finish what you can. You get more dental floss and keep trying to floss out the offending item stuck between your teeth. You bleed some more. You try to pry apart your teeth with your fingers. Then with a screwdriver. You floss some more. Finally, the particle comes free! Relief at last! You realize that it's a tiny piece of bone. You think to yourself, "Maybe I should become a vegetarian." Then a couple days later...
you eat another burger from the same place. LOL

Well no not really that hasn't happened to me. I have ate other food that I might bite down on a little piece or bone. But I have never had a piece of bone stuck in my teeth.
LOL!! Nice story though,.....

Yes, it's a funny story to tell in retrospect, but when it's happening to you, it's really terrible. Thanks for your response!

Ha, that was too funny. I was wondering what in the world it was going to be that you found in your hamburger. I thought it was going to be something disgusting, to be honest with you. And I almost quit reading the discussion because I didn't want to be grossed out. LOL
I know, it seems that I am always getting a bone or some gristle in my burgers, chili or some kind of food. It doesn't even matter if it is fast food, or a casual sit down restaurant. I guess it is just unavoidable. Either that, or we just have to start cooking everything for ourselves from now on. Of course, if you don't have very many people in the household, sometimes that can be more expensive than going out to eat.
Interesting discussion, I got a good laugh!

Yes, it has happened to me numerous times, sometimes in a burger from a fast food place or even home-cooked foods made with ground beef like chili or sloppy joes. Good to know I'm not the only one this has happened to! Thanks for your response and happy mylotting to you.

No I can not say that this has ever happened to me. Though if it had, I would most likely not be able to do anything about it unless the people I am with have floss as I don't carry that item with me! I would be a bit disturbed and wonder how a processed meat could have a bone in it, I'd be more scared it was human then I would be that it was from an animal.

Luckily, I was at home when this happened. I can't imagine what I'd do if I was eating in the restaurant. Probably go around to everyone asking if they had floss. LOL Thanks for your response!

Oh WOW..
That was a horrible thing to think that could happen. I too don't carry floss with me. I wouldn't have been able to eat until knew what was in that tooth. You are a brave person to continue eating. Also very brave to eat at the same place again...LOL..Cute discussion..

Well that never happened to me anewlevel. And I also cannot be a vegetarian. I love vegetables however I also love to eat meat. I also don't carry my floss with me when I am out...Well at least you have your dental foss with you when that happened...
