It seems that QUIXOTIC is quite happy when at home to eat off of a table smelling of shit (And yes thats what farts smell of even if the kid hasn’t actually shit itself).
Because of this everyone else should be happy to do so when ocupying a diners table that she and her family have just vacated.
I’m sorry but I can’t be bothered to address the long rambling and generally incoherent defense of her personal habits.
No doubt nose picking at the table and spitting are O.K. aswell.
After all no one has ever died from eating a bogie.
I’m not really in the habit of smelling tables, personally. If that’s the sort of thing that trips your trigger, more power to ya. But it might not be the table that smells, Shit for Brains.
For the second time in the thread, I’m a guy. Try reading before spewing nonsense.
I responded with 338 words (not counting quoted material) to two posts of yours totaling 280 words. And yet my response is “long [and] rambling”? At least have the stones to say “Sorry, I’ve got nothing” instead of trying to convince us that your time is so valuable (no doubt due to table sniffin’) that you can’t read 338 words.
Spitting is forbidden by statute in many locales, AFAIK, although rarely enforced. And of course nose picking is OK. Kind of gross and not really my thing, but if you want to go elbow deep, I’ll just look away. No one is going to take your toy away from you.
We went to dinner last night. Table next to us had a baby in diapers. Mom took baby to bathroom.
She came back, and loudly proclaimed, “Geez, she just shit all over herself and me”. They all laughed. Of course, they immediately put precious’ ass right onto the table and fawned over her. Then Dad stood the baby up and walked her all over the table top.
But people have died from staph infections, which are found all over the skin of the diners before you who put their elbows on the table.
So in a nutshell, be it baby’s diapers, or adults arms, the tables you’re sitting on
are a germ haven; so either stop going to these places if it squicks you out, or suck it up and take your chances. Stop fixating on just one of the many germ sources; it’s not the most likely disease vector (so says my dermatologist).
So it really doesn’t matter what surfaces anyone eats from. :rolleyes:
I think people ought to do the best they can to keep surfaces clean that others will be using. What I am saying is if you want to bite your own Bwanas, that’s your choice, Bob. But don’t make that choice for everyone else.
Keep your kid’s cotton pickin’ ass and your own ass and the rest of your family’s ass off the goddamn restaurant table.
Then keep your (and your family’s) elbows off the tables as well. You seem to have a reading comprehension problem so I’ll repeat: your skin is just as much (and as dangerous a germ vector) as a person who sits on a table. Get it through your head, your squick factor not withstanding.
I was thinking of it as I was watching ads on TV this morning, one of which was for some brand of diaper. Since they kept emphasizing how “snug” their brand is, it makes me wonder just how much the lazy parents in this thread are aware that diapers can leak.
Your dermatologist? Yeah, right, he would be an expert on diapers… You should ask him how likely it is that you would actually become sick from staph.
In a nutshell, there is zero need for a baby’s butt to be on a table. There is next to zero reason for an elbow to be touching a table, and elbows on the table are a recognized sign of bad manners. Why is it that you parents can’t see that sitting your baby’s ass on a table is also bad manners? Extremely bad manners…
In your opinion, and the moment I start taking curlcoat from the SDMB’s opinion into account during my real life decision making process is the moment I need to be unplugged from the matrix. your opinion about what type of behavior is acceptable or not is not worth a leaky soiled diaper.
Well, I was eating out at a fine dining restaurant last night when a college kid wearing a diaper farted on my table. My first thought was that he must be the kid referenced in the op, all grown up.
My second thought was that, last time I ate there, I shouldn’t have stiffed the waiter on the tip…
Yes, well they do clearly advertise the place as bad for your health right on the front window. However, they should change the name to The Heart Attack and Colonic Bacteria from Around the Ass Region Grill.
It’s a good thing she doesn’t work in seasonal food service at The Colony.
You could ask my Aunt Diane, who is a nurse. Or you can ask Aunt Annette, her younger sister, no, wait, you can’t ask Aunt Annette. She died of staph infection.
