ever do something stupid like this?

i just spent the last 5 minutes eating a container of yogurt that i'm pretty sure was spoiled. after the first bite tasted a bit funky, did i throw it away? no, of course not. i continued to take small bites, making what i'm sure were the most god-awful faces, and trying my hardest to figure out what exactly was off about the flavor. i smelled it, had my colleague smell it, and then continued to eat it because, really, does yogurt ever have a rotten smell? it's all bacteria anyway. halfway through the container i thought i should maybe dig the foil label out of my trash and check out the expiration date. remembering i had actually opened the yogurt and thrown away the label in the kitchen (all the way down that loooong hallway far, far from my desk), i decided it wouldn't matter anyway. i had already eaten half of it and it wasn't that bad and it seemed so borderline that i couldn't throw it away. i continued to eat the yogurt, all the while wondering why it tasted so odd. when my spoon scraped the bottom in donned on me that i may end up with some weird bacterial infection due to yogurt poisoning. i bolted for the kitchen for a bottle of water. like water is going to wash away the sour yogurt bacteria that is now attacking my digestive system, but maybe it will speed up the process at the very least. so here i am - waiting to keel over from food poisoning because my yogurt went off and i was stupid enough to eat the entire thing to figure out if it had, in fact, expired. dumb. dumb. dumb. and disgusting.
