I can see the humor in this exchange, but the scenario is totally foreign to me. I've never worked anywhere where 100% of the employees were too polite or proud to take free food first. Usually it's a mad scramble of hungry people. This comic is from Chris Hallbeck at Maximumble.
Sadly, I'm the office "fat lady", which means I can never go first, or everyone gets to roll their eyes at the greedy fat lady. I can also never take seconds of cake, unlike the guys, who just eat whatever they want, often piling five or more cookies onto a plate. I'm trying to break away from the programming, but it's really difficult. One great thing about getting older... you start to care a bit less about what other people think.
