Not sure if this qualifies as the worst, but it’s fresh in my memory: I was in the grocery store yesterday and I saw a guy wearing a hoodie saying, “Cool story, babe. Now make me a sandwich.”
That’s part of the “Bro’s before Ho’s” meme.
My husband and I have come to the conclusion that we appreciate people like that, because you know right up front who you’re dealing with. 
When I lived in China that was a perfectly ordinary thing to see. It wouldn’t even register on my disgrace meter.
I gotta call BS on this one. Who would tattoo a four year old even with a parents permission???
MANDRAKE GESTURES HYPNOTICALLY:
“You are a sandwich!” 
hahahahaha
The parent. I know of a tattoo artist who did a small piece on his toddler’s shoulder as a “joke”. It’s just a smiley face(:)), two eyes and a smile.
I saw it at a party and mentioned how much of a headache it would be if anyone reported it. The wild thing was he had never considered possible negative consequences.
Tame in comparison with some of the things that have been mentioned but still…
I was eating with my wife in a fast-food joint some 10 years ago. We had been there several times before so we thought we knew what to expect: OK food, friendly service and a clean place. It was late in the afternoon and the joint was still half-empty but there were two middle-aged women sitting at the table next to ours. At one point, one of them stood up very slowly, farted loudly then sat back down and went on eating as if nothing had happened. She didn’t say anything, didn’t apologize (what did you expect?). She didn’t even look around to at least acknowledge what she had just done, nothing.
My wife stopped eating immediately. I didn’t (but waited a couple of minutes to make sure that I was not subjected to some… unwanted flavours).
The trunk lid was open. It’s like taking your dog for a short journey in the back of a pickup truck. Assuming the dog is secured with a leash so it can’t jump or fall out, not the most disgraceful thing I can think of.
How could that *possibly *be safe? I’m with those who say driving with a dog in the trunk is incredibly dumb and dangerous. I’m shocked there is even opposition to that fact. Do you somehow tie the trunk open? How would you see out the back window if the trunk was wide open, and if it was just loosely flapping, what if you hit a bump and the lid closes shut on his head or paw? Tying him to the trunk with a leash, great idea, now he can drag behind your car if he gets some slack in the leash, and you won’t even be able to know it’s happening.
The trunk was propped open, according to Diggerwam. And obviously you’d have to tie the leash with the appropriate amount of slack. I’m not advocating this behaviour, just saying it’s not ‘disgraceful’.
Trunk was propped open with one of those Orange traffic cones and then tied so it wouldn’t POP open. I’m surprised that there is debate about this. That is no way to treat an animal. I don’t even think its right for a dog to be in the back of a pickup, but that isn’t the conversation for right now. Great, the lady wanted to take her dogs for a walk. But if the cabin of the car was good enough for one, it should be good enough for both dogs. Still no excuse for transporting in the trunk. Dog must been scared stiff, and that ain’t OK.
Also, the backdraft causes exhaust fumes to come back into the vehicle if just the trunk is open. Jeeps and Broncos always state in the owners manual to not ride around with the back open unless the side windows are open too.
WTF? Why did he do that?
The trunk is definitely no place for a dog. Besides the ventilation and temperature issues, being randomly thrown around while enclosed in a dark space would really tear up a dog’s nerves. (I’m no fan of dogs in the back of a pickup truck either, but unlike a trunk at least the driver can keep a check on the dog…and most dogs have sense enough to stay down in the bed when the vehicle is moving.) And in the example described earlier in the thread, I don’t buy the excuse that the dogs needed to be separated…there are plenty of other ways to separate two dogs in the cabin of a car.
Back to shameful things…I once saw a guy in Scout Master regalia (complete with the little hat) physically drag his sniffling, quietly crying children into a line at a mall Subway. After cussing someone out by cell phone, he then proceeded to scream his order to the ladies behind the counter, then started cursing when one lady asked him to slow down and repeat himself. I told him to chill out; he yelled something to me about “not understanding how to deal with these kids”, then proceeded to complete his order in silence…and he added a bunch of cookies for the kids. The mall was crawling with Boy Scouts that day; I sort of wish I had been a little nosy and located some of the other adults involved with his troop.
Around Remembrance Day many years ago I saw some Sea Cadets selling poppies outside the mall. The first kid was polite and respectful and we had a pleasant conversation. Then a car pulled up with a kid to relieve him and the second kid was horrible. It was like he was hopped up on sugar or something. He was harrasing passers-by with “HEYYY YOU WANT TO BUY A POPPY?!!”, he threw his hat on the ground and said it looked like a “dog bowl”, and was generally just an obnoxious brat. A random guy actually yelled at him to respect his station and uniform and it didn’t even faze the kid. I was appalled and meant to write a letter to the organization but never got around to it.
What a jerk! I’m surprised that the Subway manager didn’t come out and at least admonish this blowhard about how to act in his store. That’s no way to behave in public. And the manager might have called the Scouts’ local office for good measure, to report this lout…who, if in uniform, would have an identifying number sewn onto the shoulder of the uniform. All the same I bet he got a lot of flak from the onlookers, including other parents! :eek::mad:
I would never put my dog in the trunk since I’m certain that she wouldn’t like it. I, however have ridden in a trunk and actually kind of liked it but I’m a sucker for dark enclosed spaces. I always liked hiding under the bed too.
That makes me unreasonably sad just to read about it.
Disgraceful?
I’ve seen a 6th grade student threatened with a switch-blade.
I’ve seen a drunken New Brunswick gold shield officer pull out his off-duty snub-nose at 3AM & threaten a car-load of people before he started hitting on the girl in the passenger seat.
I’ve seen a mentally ill homeless man in Jersey City lie on a bench, open his pants, and make his own yellow fountain as he pissed all over himself.
I’ve seen a 12-story Office Building built in the center of a 16th century Dutch grave yard dating back to when the whole Tri-State Area was New Amsterdam.
I’ve seen a politically connected Hack-Frau fly her Mercedes through a stop sign and T-bone the car with the right of way. She then called the town tree commission and had the tree in front of the stop sign cut down, so she could say in court that it was “obstructing her view”.
I’ve seen a woman dead in the road on Rt 440 because there wasn’t a safe way to cross it for 1/2 a mile.
I’ve seen employees threatened with every illegal act under the sun because jobs were scarce and the courts stopped giving a damn.
I’ve seen U.S. Presidents deny people tours of The White House because they voted for the wrong party in a Free Election.
I’ve seen commercials for Henry Rifles broadcast when kids are watching Saturday morning cartoons “All with the endorsement of Mr. George Dubbya Bush”.
“Does ya miss me yet?” “Only with Shoes.”
I’ve seen a former mayor create some management LLC for BILLIONS in post 9-11 funds and disappear for 12 years… only to come back looking for MORE funds through fund raisers for an election run.
Billions, chief. Just what IS the going rate for Hookers & Blow in Miami, Rudi???
I’ve seen Michelle Bachman try to wipe her ass with her citizenship to skip to Switzerland… & then make noises later that same year about running for President.
Piece of cloth left up on a pole?
Doesn’t Even Come Close…
