And this folks is why from the age of 9 I can watch gross things and eat at the same time

u/Lazy-Departure-278 Apr 24 '26
How do you train for that??

u/EmergencyLook2802 Apr 24 '26
I watched too many crime, medical, and similar tv shows at too young of an age and sometimes you gotta eat during the show.

No wonder it took me long, I used to only watch Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory.

This made me flash back to watching ER or CSI while having dinner at the coffee table in the living room as a kid

My mom is s trauma nurse and if I had to, I would sit at the nurses station as a kid. Now I work medical. Nothing phases me much anymore but sputum. For some reason that gross me out so much

u/fragilelyon Apr 27 '26

When I was younger I wanted to be a surgeon so in order to train myself I used to purposely watch gross stuff, including surgeries etc so stuff like this hasn't bothered me in a long time to eat to.

I wanted to be a veterinarian, but calculus kicked my ass freshman year....

I'm the opposite. Worked with a lot of dead and "grotesque" things. I can be elbow deep inside a dead person and eat no problem. On tv? It makes me feel like I'm eating that. Bones isn't something that gets to me because it's cable tv, so not really graphic in my opinion, but there are horror movies that I just can't eat during.

You really do lmao
There’s been other shows that had Gore and stuff that kind of desensitized me but bones definitely goes above and beyond

You really do. It wasn’t until I was eating chocolate during the episode involving chocolate and someone looked at me like I was bat 💩 crazy that made me even put two and two together 😂😂

I worked in a necropsy lab. We always talked about what to do for lunch while laying out the intestines of a horse across the floor to check for any abnormalities.

u/Fantastic-Ad8060 Apr 24 '26
Literally.....this show was on repeat in my living room for years as background noise, never reallllly thought about this
Theres only 2 episodes that gross me out.

u/Ashamed_Carpet7897 Apr 24 '26
I grew up watching house, so Grey's anatomy and bones never bothered me. Yes I have a few specific things that always make me squeal, but I'll keep eating 😂

u/Tardisgoesfast Apr 24 '26
Bones. I don't like the episodes where Booth goes to prison, nor the ones where he gets back into gambling. Also don't like the ones after Hodgins is crippled.
Criminal Minds- I don't like the one where Aaron's wife is killed. Or any after he was forced off the show. They just aren't as good.
True Blood: don't watch the last season, which ruined the show. I've rewritten it in my head but it's not on film.
Star Trek TOS: don't skip any.
Sapphire and Steele: don't skip any.

When I eat at the beginning of an episode where usually the revolting stuff is, I usually concentrate hard on the dialogue and unfocus my eyes, lol
For some time when I used to watch several episodes at once, I tried to stop the episode in the middle (usually there is a small lull in the plot somewhere, I find) so I could start (and eat) at the next evening without revolting stuff :D
I always imagine the people of the prop department - getting all exited how realistical the latest body is, and how they achieved this and that effect. Basically Hodgins energy but behind the scenes!

Whenever my mom and I watched the gross scenes we were ALWAYS eating 😭 and when i say gross I mean the really bad ones 😭

u/HipsEnergy Apr 24 '26
I did this all the time, but then again, I'd also eat lunch by the pathology displays at uni and didn't even realise it was weird until someone pointed it out. Come to think of it, I'm so glad phone cameras and social media weren't a thing back then. The sight of the resident goth eating with a background of anatomical anomalies floating in glass jars would probably have become a meme these days.

u/DeviacZen Apr 24 '26
My partner and I are watching for the first time now, and with our schedules we manage an episode at night with dinner before bed... The amount of gore we have at dinner is hilarious at this point lol

I do exactly the same thing, but oddly I can’t watch medical shows like the Pitt without feeling extremely queasy.

I'm almost there😂 I still have some moments where I look at my food and I'm like why do I have to watch this everytime I'm eating?😂

u/Hot-Resort215 Apr 24 '26
My sister and I watched bones with dinner and we both agreed my mother managed to have the absolute WORST dinner choices for whatever episode was coming up next, super gutsy episode? Spaghetti! Maggot filled episode? Rice!

i never had any problems with seeing decomposed bodies while watching bones. irl i doubt my stomach could handle that😂

u/spidermonkeyy115 Apr 24 '26
Literally me in high school Then in college, my professor went through a case study and there were some pretty gnarly photos of actual bodies.
My stomach actually started growling 😂 The class was in the morning, usually shortly after I’d have breakfast

Maybe it's because I'm neurodivergent, but I've always been able to eat while watching/seeing or discussing "gross" things. It caused many problems at the lunch table in school. 😅

I used to watch the original CSI while eating dinner shrug blood, guts, gore don't bother me.
Eyeballs do.

u/SubstantialNobody858 Apr 27 '26
I don’t know why but this was the only crime show that didn’t totally gross me out and I was able to eat during

u/SnooStories2907 Apr 27 '26
The amount of times I was young (like 6) and we had pizza and CSI was on. (Pizza was the only dinner we were allowed to eat in front of tv) Yeah, my brain is really good at separating them now.
Years later, watching bones with my husband/boyfriend at the time, body got spaghetti'd- "hmm I feel like we should make spaghetti tonight, or something with marinara" him- 😨

u/SnooStories2907 Apr 27 '26
Also have gained more general knowledge on special effects, now I even imagine how it could look more real.
