Don't Bother Me While I'm Cooking

Hello, weekend buddies... Talking about emotions in a person, both positive and negative emotions, is certainly a very interesting and complex thing. I'm one of those people who likes to discuss themes about human personality, especially about emotions. Luckily, this week, Weekend Experience opens a theme that is in line with my concert. So I'm going to talk a little bit more about what are the things that make me angry and upset? ---- ## ***I don't like being helped when I'm cooking.*** ----   --- Nah, do you find anything strange here? How can someone get angry when being helped? Yeasss... and that person is me. Believe it or not, since my daily job is cooking for a number of menus at my mum's stall, I'm the type of person who doesn't like to be helped when I'm cooking. The reason is also very, very simple: it could ruin what I've started! Makes sense, right? Let me give you a more comprehensive picture of this situation. Let's say I'm cooking a menu, and only I know the order, as well as what spices I've added and haven't added. Then, suddenly another crew comes in, pretentiously taking over what we have been cooking, you can suddenly forget what you have done and what you have not. Even worse, you can lose focus on the other things you should be doing with your kitchen and equipment. And honestly, this can really make me angry and resentful. So, I have an unspoken rule about the kitchen. Let me do the cooking if that's my job and please, don't disturb me! Simple, right? There's something else. Imagine if the kitchen utensils that you're using, suddenly change hands or worse move to a place where you don't know where the exact location is. The fire in the stove is still burning, your cooking needs stirring and the utensils are gone! Argh... seriously, I really hate this situation. Now it makes sense why the chefs don't want to be disturbed either. Even if there's a system, he wants to have a trained assistant by his side. Because if not, the consequences can be very fatal. Pfuuuhh... even just saying this, I'm so angry and upset. I'm sorry. But, thank you for throwing a topic that can also be used to vent my frustration. Ha ha ha See you in the next post. ---
