Screaming children, barking dogs, loudmouthed a..holes bellowing into cell phones. All part of the same me me me me attitude that so many people exhibit. They have no consideration for anyone else. They're totally self absorbed.
My topper of a story happened in the dairy school cafateria at cornhole you in Ithaca. I was eating lunch and some woman came in with a crying baby and changed its #2 diaper right on a table nearby. Nothing quite like the smell of fresh sh!t from a diaper on the table nearby to get your appetite going at lunch! I complained to the management and they told me she was the wife of one of the faculty members (like that exempted her from acting like a human being.)
Last year I was waiting for my fries to finish at MacDonalds when some family came in ant the woman plopped a kid diaper down on the counter. In that case the management told the woman to get the kid off the counter. She gave the MacD's employee some lip but ultimately complied. (I noticed that they didn't clean the counter after though)
I’m speechless. That is one of the most disgusting stories I have ever heard.
My topper of a story was in a restaurant where a two year old was running around with her four year old brother. Both completely unsupervised. Full run of the restaurant, climbing on other tables, yelling, etc. Right until the two year old needed to relieve herself, which she proceeded to do, standing right in the middle of the aisle about 10 ft. from our table. #2, which she then picked up and started walking toward any adult she could find, with it held out in her hand, like “what do I do with this?” Poop and urine streaked down both legs. That’s when we got involved and got management. We certainly weren’t going to touch her and take a chance that her parents would file some kind of charges. The whole time the parents were completely oblivious. And even after they knew what had happened and saw the pile of poop on the floor, you would think they would have been apologetic or embarrassed, but no, they were ticked off that management had interrupted their lunch. They didn’t even offer to help clean up the mess.
Ugh... I am not surprised. Incivility rules these days. And I think you summed it up nicely. The cafeteria/restaurants that allowed this should have been reported to the Health Department. THEY would care! E-Coli is not our friend.
I’d have said something to that stupid b.
