as in you like scrambled and they clearly made over easy. And anybody who doesnt eat over easy knows how bad that could taste.
i need to have some of your attitudes. Good job people for being like that.
 
Im so picky about food,but i wont complain,dont want to hurt his/her feeling beside,i appreciated he/she make a bfast for me.
 
I assume the setting you have in mind isn't a restaurant where you have to PAY for the food .... but more of an at home thing and you want to know if you should complain about someone doing something nice for you because it isn't exactly, 100% perfectly up to your standards.

Answer: NO! You do not complain. You use all the grace you can muster and politely say something like, "Thank you so much for treating me to this special breakfast ... you must really love me" and then you choke down as much as you can without gagging, while continuing to have polite conversation that puts the focus on how much you appreciate how thoughtful and considerate the cook is.

While doing this, eat all the other food that may be on the plate ... toast, fruit, juice, etc. Once you've eaten all of the sunny side up eggs you can, without puking, you may push away your plate and say any number of things to take the persons mind off the fact that you didn't actually eat more than a bite or two ... depending on your relationship. ie: you could suggest getting "frisky" together.

Then ... a some future point ... when there is no chance of hurt feelings .... you can say how much you LOVE your eggs scrambled, how it reminds you of some terrific memory, etc .. You do NOT mention that even looking at sunny-side up eggs makes you want to hurl.

If you handle this situation with grace, love and kindness ... then when YOU mess up and do something that the other person thinks you should have know they didn't care for ... they may just give you the same consideration ... instead of jumping down your throat, causing hurt feelings, resentment and pain all around.
 
totally if i was paying but im not gonna be nasty in the process
 
No never...The fact that somebody went to the trouble of making me breakfast is paramount to some one falling on a grenade to save my life..
 
I like scrambled over easy hard boiled soft boiled omelet style and anyway i get a meal cause I am not a spoiled brat or a drama queen so i take what food i didn't make or buy and smile cause its food and then after that i clean the dishes cause that's what a grateful person does but when you are a spoiled drama queen you didnt do anything but pout and ask a question about somebody making you something you probably always eat everyday anyway they were just trying to feed you and take care of a basic need get a life
 
Well it would depend who it was. If it was a good friend or somehting I'd feel comfortable complaining to them lol but if it was someone i didn't know that well i wouldnt make a big deal out of it.
 
At home...l would not be complaining....because l could have always made my own breakfast.
But if l were out and paying.....yes l would complain.
 
NO
id be thankful just to have someone make me a breakfest even if it was bad i would eat it anyway
 
If it's burnt or raw when it should be and I'm paying for it, yeah, I'll say something. If it's free, I'll keep my mouth shut.
 
Wanna know how I got these scars? My father was... a drinker. And a fiend. And one night he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. Turns to me and he says "Why so serious?" Comes at me with the knife, "Why so serious?" He sticks the blade in my mouth. "Let’s put a smile on that face!" And... Why so serious?
