gross gross lady!!! Warning Grossest thing ever!!!

[powerboy]

Gross, yes, but I must say that I think you and your husband overreacted.

Your husband really over-reacted. He should not have said anything. And seriously, what would the manager do? All he/she could do is ask her to stop. But even then

My experience is that when someone is called out in public on something then they will (hopefully) not do it again. And no I think we had a right to say something because I don't think she had a right to ruin our breakfast.Sorry but I have OCD and once I see someone do something like that I can't just eat and not pay attetion to it, I dunno I focus in it.And if she was "special" then she needs to have a coach,like the 'special" guy we have working in the union. He used to walk around and fart in public and we had to explain to him that wasn't something you do in public.And now he doesn't do it. As far as the manager isn't the manager jobs to make sure that someone isn't disrupting the other customers.

Who knew that the "snot" inside your nose is just a mix of dead skin cells, pollen from outside, dust from inside, and saliva?

Mucus not saliva.

Candyshopgirl, you know someone who was able to stop someone from farting in public and inappropriate places?

Please do share the secret.

Look, meaning no offense, as through your posts I see you're a perfectly nice person, but seriously, you did overreact. When you go to a restaurant, you are entitled to the food you bought, and a table to sit at, and that is all. Everyone else is entitled to the same things, and some of them will be gross. The general public seem to have given up on basic politeness, and even basic hygiene in many cases. Your choices are to go to a fancier restaurant, where they can and will turn away people who look or smell or act in an unappealing fashion, but which I doubt you can afford if 'McDonalds is a rare treat' (Not meaning to rub your face in it, just laying everything out.), accept that people in general will not act in a way you find appealing, and focus on your own food while in the McD's, or eat at home, with your phone and TV turned off, three meals a day for the rest of your life.

Again, no offense meant, but if you want to go out you have to accept that other people aren't there to deal with your issues, be they a recent breakup or OCD, those are your issues to work out in any way you can, and imposing your idea of what a proper eating environment is on other people is not the right way to do that. To be honest, I highly doubt anyone else noticed her until you pointed it out to your husband, and he made a scene pointing it out to the other customers.

Sorry, but OCD's your issue, and just as the lady shouldn't gross you out like that, you shouldn't force your issue on other people, and not everyone who's "special" requires a handler, since they may simply be socially deficient, or some such.

i dunno... eatin boogers is more a gradeschool thing - or at least i thought it was - but not the grossest thing i've ever seen...

(one of my co-workers use to look at all the photos at rotton.com while at work)
(warning don't go to that site if you barf easily... yeah it makes booger-eating look normal)

[RetailWorkhorse]

Eh. She was nice enough. The only person ever able to get me to willingly eat spaghetti.

....you didn't willingly eat Sketti as a kid? What was wrong with you?

....you didn't willingly eat Sketti as a kid? What was wrong with you?

Halloween party at the public library where they blindfolded you and got you to stick your hand in stuff. Stuck my hands in the "brains" and then slipped the blindfold. Spaghetti. Stuff still grosses me out. All pasta does, actually.

You ate them back then? We used to chase the girls with them.

Meh, guess you'll never make it to Family Dinner Night at EQ's, because she uses Italian a lot.

[Rapscallion]

I don't see why people are saying it's not that much of a problem to eat boogers in a restaurant. I'd consider it bringing in your own food.

Not that I'd do it, of course...

You just had to go there, didn't you Raps? Where's some raddishes....you need a good bum thwapping every once in a while.

Actually, I don't think boogers are the grossest thing ever. There is worse. Like going outside for a cigarette while waiting for your ride on a Friday night, and seeing that your neighbor has the shades up and is waltzing around in his tightie whities.

I'd rather watch someone eat boogers than ever have to see that again. My original plan that night for when I got home was that I was going to stop at Wal-Mart and buy a huge tarp and cover his window with it.

[PepperElf]

heh. i dunno... maybe when i was like 2 years old maybe

but i've seen ickier things. like the "Doom Generation"
(ickyness warning... don't watch it if....snacking on things that came out of your own body gross you out)

I'm more concerned that standards around here are slipping. That was a perfectly good comment to make about it, and it took, what? Three pages to do it?

I weep for the future generations.
