Well,
Dio made an ass out himself several ways from the VERY start. I don’t think I need to list them. And got royally called out on it (by most everybody). And he has been back pedaling furiously since.
A few more Dio threads like this and I am going Dio free.
If? But I thought all restaurants cleaned their tables. Which is it?
I haven’t back pedalled from shit.
Please, do that. The people jumping on everything he says are far more annoying than he is.
They all clean their tables. They just might not all do it very promptly. If you see shit on a table, don’t use that table. You should also complain to the management because that would be just disgusting.
But what if shit is there but you DONT see it?
Enjoy your meal.
Do you still want my visually shit free hand tossed salad?
Its on the house and shit.
::scribbling furiously::
OK, but what if I see a bear? What do I do then?
Invisible shit? I guess that could happen with any table.
Shit happens.
Well, yeah. Toddler experiences leak from diaper, parent wipes it up with napkins, fecal bacteria remain on table despite no obvious brown smear.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
Its WAY more likely on the ones that have had baby asses on them. That, or some of your recent posts.
And I see you still arent taking me up on your invisible shit salad either.
Considering we’re right in the middle of (another) e.coli-contaminated lettuce outbreak, I thought it was a given that there was shit in the salads.
What would be the need in the first place to sit a child on a table ?
I’m not as grossed out by a clothed infant in his/her shit bag on the table, still think it’s an odd thing to do. But a kid in a diaper on the table is totally disgusting.
According to some people its simple just avoid tables with shit on it. I’ll try to remeber to bring my field kit so I can swab for microscopic fecal bacteria in order to avoid another case of campylobacter.
Or just keep your baby’s ass off the table.
Cite that it’s more likely to be on the seat of a baby’s pants than on somebody’s bare hands?
Do you eat directly off the surface of the table anyway?
By the way, did you know there’s shit in the hamburgers as well as the lettuce?
Any number of reasons, especially if they can’t stand up yet. Generally I’ve done it if I needed them elevated to shoe them or put a coat on them or clean their hands and face, etc.
If food service workers are officially prohibited by Department of Health sanitation requirements from sitting on tables even when clothed, ISTM that it would be a good idea for everybody else to keep their asses, and their babies’ asses, off the tables too, whether clothed or not.
Emphasis added. It also seems logical to me that if you have to briefly put a baby’s ass on an eating table for some reason, you should put a garment or a napkin or something under it. I don’t really care how clean you personally believe your baby’s clothed diapered ass to be; if your baby’s ass is somewhere that the Department of Health officially states that asses should not be put, then I personally would prefer you to keep your baby’s ass somewhere else, or if that’s not possible, at least not directly on the table surface itself.
I don’t care in the least if you want to sit your baby (or change your baby’s diaper, for that matter) on your own dining-room table. But deliberately ignoring hygiene rules about “no asses on eating tables” in public food service establishments just because you can get away with it seems kind of douchebaggy.
Better yet – how about not patronizing that restaurant?
Thanks for that. I was so puzzled by the fact that you couldn’t see the confusion coming out of posts 3 & 4 that I read 5 pages of this poppy-pants thread to see if it would hit you. I’m free!
This thread proves the following once again: It’s a good thing for the rest of us that most of the people who don’t want or have kids feel the way they do.
Also, Dio and I probably couldn’t agree on the color of the sky, so I hate when threads like this come along and I have to be on the guy’s side.
Yeah, ordinarily I’d feel sorry for him, but I have to say that this time I think he earned it.
