Don't point that thing at me.

The BBQ Pit
1

Thanks for interrupting my lunch, lady.

Sure, I know it’s a public space-- one expects a certain amount of people coming and going.

I’ve really got to wonder why you decided to share this venerable fast-food establishment with me, though. You didn’t get any lunch for yourself.

Oh, I see-- the nice shiny horizontal surface appealled to you. What a good place to plunk an infant down and change a fully-loaded diaper!

No, the smell won’t bother me, after all, I’m almost four feet away. And I’m sure that a staffer will be by to disinfect that table before some does something crazy like set their food down on it.

G’bye! Have a nice day!

And it’s a good thing you didn’t use the baby-changing station that is provided. Dirty, nasty places, those.

Oh, and I hope you die of profound intestinal distress and your child goes feral. For the good of society.

There are some places where diapers just shouldn’t be changed.

3

This is just beyond disgusting!!

Yes, diapers should NOT be changed at the table in a restaurant. Even if you go to the toilet, there are always more appropriate places to do it.

YUK!!

I’d have raised a major stink with management to get her out, especially because she didn’t eat there. Rude, uncivilised, people like this drive me nuts.

4

Major Stink! Changing diapers.
BWAHAHAHAHA.

5

Good Lord! I’m stunned! :eek::eek::eek:

I hope you at least complained to the management!

6

Next time, ask her if she’d mind if you dip your fries in it.

7

I’d have asked if she was planning on having ketchup or mayonaisse with the baby.

i hope i don’t get bbq’ed for this, but i changed my girl at the table before, but it was a booth, and i did it so that no one could see (on the seat, she was near the wall and i was sitting on the outside edge), on top of her blankie. Her diaper was just wet, not stinky. She was only 2 or 3 weeks old at the time. The restaraunt was not very crowded.

and i might really get flamed for this, but i had just finished breastfeeding her in public! :eek:

i would never change a stinky one on top of a public table though, eww.

Diaper contents (feces vs. urine) don’t enter into it. It’s grossly unsanitary, spreading coliform bacteria around a place where food is served. One person’s strain of E. Coli can make another person deathly ill. Please don’t do this anymore.

Sorry Larry Mudd, but that verse was the first thing that popped in my head when I read the title of this thread.

Ok, here’s the thing.

When jerks, morons, and completely oblivious ignoramuses do stupid, lame, and/or disgustingly nasty things, you have to say something about it.

I can’t imagine why the restaurant staff didn’t tell that woman to get her shitty kid off the counter and into the restroom where it belongs, but why in hell would you sit there and tolerate it while you’re eating your meal?!?

You should have stood right up and announced, quite LOUDLY, that “THIS IS A RESTAURANT FOR GOD’S SAKE! People are eating less than two feet from your stinky, filthy, biohazard of a child. Take it into the restroom to change it’s diaper NOW or I will call the public health inspectors.”

If the cun… woman didn’t jump up right then, you can bet the restaurant staff would make sure she did.

The bottom line is, if no one ever tells the ignorantly oblivious jackasses of the world that they’re being oblivious jackasses, they’ll never figure it out for themselves. They’re too ignorantly oblivious.

So speak up. If enough of us complain and refuse to allow the jackasses of the world to do crap like this around us, it’ll eventually sink in that X behavior is probably gonna get them yelled at and embarassed.

It might take awhile, but we can train monkeys, you know? If we ALL say something to the obliviously rude and selfish, it’ll work. But if you sit there at the counter eating your gruel and smelling the shit, and say nothing, well, I kinda don’t have any sympathy for you…

yessir. i didn’t realize, i thought the blankie under her would be ok, my bad :smack:

13

You do realize it’s statements like this one that make us lowly mortals worship the ground you walk on, right?

14

I witnessed this at a Perkins once. The most disgusting thing was, after she changed the diaper, she moved the baby off the table and ATE HER BREAKFAST from the same spot. EEEWWWW.

15

Don’t point, point, point that thing at me

16

On the plus side, most fast food burgers are loaded with antibiotics, so things are offset a little.

17

Libertarian, I truly almost barfed when I read that!

18

I assume you are not serious. There is nowhere near the amount of antibiotics in food products to adequately treat a life- or health-threatening infection.

19

I’m always serious. You can tell because I rarely use smilies.
