I don’t know if its ONLY a southern thing, butt being a resident of the southeast, you definitely see diapers only children on fairly regular basis down here. Diapers, plus a t shirt is even more common.
I wouldnt go so far as to say its common, butt it certainly isnt OMG rare either.
And its the heat. In more casual settings, your lucky if the kid is even wearing diapers sometimes. At which point, all the adult males get woodies and have to leave the scene…
Bingo. My dogs don’t shit where they eat. My cat’s don’t either.
I expect the same consideration from humans. Sheess. My dogs have better manners than some folks in this thread.
The SDMB is nothing more than a perpetual tempest in a teapot these days. Seriously? A multi-page debate about diapers? :rolleyes:
It probably wouldn’t have been so long if Diogenes hadn’t parked his ass in here.
Maybe he was trying to reach the White Russian he ordered that the waitress had placed in the middle of the table. Did you ever think of that?
“I don’ting your ass.”
It’ll never catch on.
I can see the blue top of the diaper, he isn’t wearing anything else over top of it.
Well if teenage female started having bowel control problems and wearing any less than 2 articles of clothing before sitting on aforementioned table. Then sure.
I like your attempt with the comparison, but your just reachin’.
no, I’m not. Perhaps you didn’t understand my post. I don’t believe the op meant that the diapers were literally soiled.
Yes, diapers should be changed when they are soiled. They should not be changed on the table.
I have to say that I agree. It’s just making it really unpleasant to read threads here lately. Pages and pages of people saying “Something happened to me one time” and this guy bickering back and forth that it can’t be true because he hasn’t experienced it. ENOUGH.
Also, runnerpat didn’t say that he called the health dept and they ran down to the store, slapped a padlock on the door and flogged the person who changed a baby on the meat counter. He said he made a call. How is that an arguable point? He called. The end. The speculation about whether or not a particular health dept somewhere in the US would actually do anything has fuck all to do with this thread at all, and yet there is post after post about it. STFU already!
Also, I feel like I just now realized the kind of person they make that Shake Weight for. Jesus what a jerkoff fest every thread he posts in lately is.
Its simple no matter how cute you think your kid is sitting in a bag of shit on a table, I dont want your kid sitting on the table I’m about to eat off of in a bag of shit strapped around his/her waist.
I never thought this would blow up so fast! 3 pages in less than a day!
The latest restaurant was a Subway in a gas station. I had to personally wipe the crumbs and food debris off the table before we could eat. So it’s not like they rush out to clean/sanitize the tables after every diner leaves. The time before was at a McDonalds, same deal with a dirty table. Should I go on, it’s always the same situation. Never at a nice restaurant, mind you. Maybe it’s the clientele, maybe it’s the mindset of how nice of an eatery it is that decides what parents do.
So yeah, I don’t want a babies ass on the table before I eat, dirty diaper or not, pants or not, etc. It’s just gross. And thanks for bringing up changing babies on the table, I’ve never seen that or thought about it. I shall never eat away from home again! What’s wrong with people?!
I saw the baby being changed in a Perkins – not real upscale, but with table service and wait staff etc. None of the staff did anything about it.
I’ve only seen that once, which was one more than I needed to.
And, for god’s sake, take his warning seriously! If you don’t, he may pound your head into the table! (This applies, of course, to the mentally challenged only.)
Well of course on another message board I saw there was the mummy that asked todler son to pee into sink in ladies toilet, and another one that asked son to pee into rubbish bin, then for kicks the parents that asked son to pee into fruit bag in the middle of the supermarket. (the latter I have seen, the second I saw the pix, the first I don’t doubt)
Then of course I did hear one story about parents asking 3 yr old son to pee in corner of the train:rolleyes:
Finally I did witness one incident at the local public pool, mummy helping son to pee into the drain that runs around the side of the pool (she pulled out the leg of the swimming trunks to allow him to aim). nd Now this one, I realise that in the great scheme doesn’t really matter, but at least please be disceet about it yeah?
As to the OP, get over yourself, its not the end of the world and if you want a sterile environment when you go out wear a bubble.
If that’s the case, then I agree with WhyNot and Diogenes the Cynic that a fully clothed baby with a clean diaper sitting on a table doesn’t bother me.
**
pabstist**, if a grown person were sitting on a picnic table or on an outside table, would that bother you also?
So, now that we’re clear, is everyone still behind Adrian Monk here? No clean, clothed, clean diaper wearing babies on tables?
Some advice? If you’re scared, stay home.
Babies spontaneously shit and pee themselves.
The shit is often as liquidy as the pee.
Diapers do not have hermetic seals.
The clean diaper was likely handled by the same hands that handled the previous shit and pee ladened diaper it replaced.
Hi Opal.
Yeah, you aint going to die. But, IMO its about on the same level as not washing your hands after going to the bathroom in public places.
Are you saying that you’ve seen someone tell their son to pee into a bag in the middle of a store? What. The. Fuck.
Yep I have seen exactly that. And not only once. I have also seen the parents asking the 8-10 yr old kid to quickly empty the drink bottle so little brother could pee into it.
And yes - it really was in the middle of a supermarket. Was a real roll eyes moment for me - and I am not one of those germophobe types - hey, after all what doesn’t kill me only makes me stronger and my skin doesn’t dissolve on contact with germs.
