Gross things that people do in public

Not exactly in public this one, but my wife told me recently of a woman in the changing room at the gym, who reached down and pulled a tampon from herself, dropped it onto a bin beside the sink and went back to getting dressed.
Yeeeeuch!

As you do...

I think someone mentioned Eddie Rockets - I was in the Stillorgan branch once with my aunt, who was considering some vegetarian stuff, but wasn't ethically or morally emotionally involved or anything - more a diet thing.
Good thing too, because while we were waiting for our food, we saw through the perspex window on the counter a Chinese guy in the kitchen, cooking some burger patties.
When he was done and had given the meat to someone else to plop between some buns, he slapped her veggie burger and stuff down on it, sitting in all the meat juices and little crumbs of beef and watched it sizzle away.

I laughed, and he turned and laughed too. It was funny... but a word of warning to any staunch vegetarians planning on eating in Eddie Rockets, or probably any fast food joint.

Men who walk around or stand at bus stops, etc, with their hand down the front of their trousers - not a quick adjustment, I can understand the necessity behind that - just grabbing a handful in full view of the rest of the world .:eek:

i went to school with a chap whose nickname was 'pubes'. i wasnt in the school at this stage, but apparently when he was a young nipper brat he used to stick his hand down his trousers, grab a handful, put them on a paper airplane and throw it across the room. s'pose that's how he got his nickname.

now THATS gross

I think one of the most disgusting things is seeing people hurling litter out of car windows. For fecks sake, put it on the floor til you get to a bin instead of just flinging it out on the street.

You can report them to the Litter Wardens of the appropriate county/city council. Just call in the reg plate, car desciption, time/date, location and incident details. The fine is e125.
The likelihood that it goes to court is unbelievably minute.

Things i do and why

Spit, my mouth produces a lot of saliva, i mean a lot. this means i have two choices (same as the ladies) spit or swallow. now as i said, swallowing said saliva/pleghm makes me sick and i would puke all over the place. which would you prefer.

Pick my nose, my left nostril is blocked by cartelage from when i broke my nose 8 years ago, so when i blow my nose only the right side clears. so sometimes i have to pick the left clean. i used to eat it when i was younger but its not my thing anymore.

if i offend your delicate senses.....good. screw you i dont care what any of you think, because you all seem to like taking a hold of the wrong end of the wrong stick. try thinking about the reasoning behind other peoples actions before lumping them into the 'your disgusting' category.

People who piss in the street, i dont have a problem as long as they go into a lane and be descreet about it. i would rather they dont piss their pants and smell like urine walking down the street.

People who **** in the street, same again, but most people dont know that you can walk into any establishment that has a public use toilet and use it. i saw a guy get stopped from going into a burger king because he was making a b-line for the toilets. so as soon as he was outside the door he dropped his kaks and scuttered at the front door.

If someone needs to get sick, they need to get sick. whoops sorry i should have held that in. have you ever done that, usually makes things worse. dont always assume someone is drunk when they aregetting sick either. my friends girlfriend ate some muscles a few months back and she got sick 17 times in the space of 300 yards. amazing amount of puke from such a tiny girl i tell ya.

anyhow, my diatribe is over. commence flaming.

Fumes from a car exaust are the same. Are you going to quit driving/never start?

Well, I don't drive due to money, nowhere to park, never learned how, ridiculous insurance/tax costs and environmental considerations (I do think about this stuff now and then). I cycle, so the only exhausts are my CO2 and the occasional fart. Might drive someday though.... about the fumes, I'd only drive if I felt it was a necessity (ie: public transport/cycling was just too far/inconvenient), rather than smoking which is a bad habit/pleasure. Also, I wouldn't drive my car at the same speed as a pedestrian walking, with the exhaust pipe directly in front of their face.

Counter to my argument. Smoking is discusting... I smoke. And start using biodeisel and such like!!!!!

If I did drive, I'd probably try to find some kind of hybrid car or one using biodiesel, although I'm not sure how different the exhaust would be. I know they put a lot of effort into removing all dangerous particulates from it - a mate of mine worked on it in Daimler Chrysler in Stuttgart for a year and gave me the spiel.
