i watched a dude, who was alone, eating his burger get up from his table and walk into the bathroom with his burger, still eating it, then 3 minutes later come back out still finishing it off
this was before covid and i still think about it sometimes
was about to say why isn't there urinal pie and then I remembered Mark Robinson
Many years ago, at an airport, I saw a guy come out of a bathroom stall and go to the sinks - where he had left his half-eaten sandwich. He left without washing his hands. This was in Akron and it is the only thing I can think of whenever anyone mentions the state of Ohio.
I'd like to imagine he held it in his mouth like an anime girl, late for school, runs out the door with a slice of toast
When I was like 8 or 9 I went to a diner with my grandparents but I wasn't feeling great. About 5 minutes after we got our meal I went to the bathroom and had to vomit, which I proceed to do a lot of. There was another young kid in there my age or younger, no less than 5. He had shit everywhere in the other stall, real nasty.
My grandfather, a germophobe, comes in to help me and as he's doing so the other kid comes out of the other stall covered in shit and looks at him and says in a squeeky little voice, "m-m-mister, can you please help me?" and my grandfather looked him right and the face and said, "fuck this," and walked out.
My grandmother came in right after and helped us both and while doing that the boys father came in and thanked her profusely.
There's a feminist critique to be had here but I can't say I blame him
I'm not trying to sound all "men's rights" here, but as a dude I would think twice before helping that other kid.
so my gramps was a total germophobe and in his defense he was putting on a brave face to help me with the vomit situation but the shit covered kid that wasnt even his blood was like, waaaay too over the edge for him
he was also a sailor in ww2 and was all tatted up with anchors and betty boop and shit so this 6'3" old guy with tattoos just looking down and saying that to this kid is so funny to me in hindsight
I have never eaten a shitter burger, but I have eaten burgers in strange places because shitty jobs like to only give you 20-30 minutes to eat lunch.
Yeah I don't get people like that. Like 30% the people in restrooms I see don't wash their hands, 10% properly wash their hands, and the other 60% just soap and wash for like 5-10 seconds
running a little water over your hands and then flicking it on the mirror before wiping your wet dirty hands on your pants doesnt count
Did he leave other food at the table? This almost seems like one of those social anxiety things where he was worried it would get thrown out if he left it on the table
left his fries and drink
he was holding the burger with the wrapper as you might imagine. i dunno if he washed his hands but if he did then he definitely would have set it on the sink counter in there, with the wrapper, of course
This year, COVID very much still a think, I watched someone eat straight off a conference room table. No plate, no napkin, not even a fucking tissue. Dude had a notebook he could have opened up to a blank page that would probably be cleaner than a fucking communal conference room table... I think about that almost every time I see this person, and I tighten my mask when they are around.
I feel like the general public is irredeemable at this point...
lmao, don't let a #2 stop from enjoying your #4 w/ cheese.

about 10 years ago, i had just moved to a city i was starting a job at. i got there about an hour earlier than i was scheduled to meet up with the landlord to get the keys and that sort of stuff, so i went up the street to a McDonalds to caffeinate and scroll on their wifi and basically just do nothing. it's like barely 8 am when i watch this guy take his dine-in tray of breakfast (sandwich, hashbrowns, coffee) and walk right passed the dining area and into the bathroom. he came out like 10 minutes later sipping the coffee and left.
i still think about that event sometimes.
Last time I was driving across the country (US) I saw something your story reminded me of. I was taking a leak in the bathroom of one of those giant truck stops. Busy bathroom, and the guy at the next urinal finishes up, and goes directly to the hot-air hand drier without washing his hands. Like, I won't pretend I've never pissed without washing my hands, but wtf bro lol
Even though it’s been a long time, I still have this memory from the ’90s (possibly early ’00s) of going to McDonald’s with a parent and seeing a young uniformed woman at a table, looking sad and hopeless. She was dressed like she was supposed to be working in the back but she was just sitting there with her arms on the table, looking depressed. I stared at her for so long that she noticed me.
I always wondered… did she just lose her job?
Since I was only a shy little kid, I said nothing to her, but it is an old memory that’s always haunted me.
I have a feeling that I would have forgotten if she were dressed casually, because seeing a fast‐food worker actually sitting alone at one of the tables (and not eating anything either) looks very unusual. If she lost her job then that would raise the question of why she was still wearing her uniform; my guess is that former workers are supposed to turn those in rather than keep them, but I have no clue.
