Little things that gross me out...

[Sassy]

...Ok...so I decided to stop and pickup a burger on the way home. The gal hands me my pop through the drive through window...it's leaking all over because she had to fill it all the way to the top. I ask for a napkin and it's still all over. So she takes it from me...and says this works...proceeding to put her thumb over where the straw goes and pushes the middle down...and it still has pop coming out the top. I just stared at her and said you put your finger in my drink! Some people! Needless to say, she got me a new drink but that was disgusting.

[clint7]

Hey, at least she didn't take a big slurp from the straw to lower the level of the pop to keep if from spilling over. :)

Good point...
But if she does that in front of me...I hate to see what they do behind your back.

[maven]

Are you trying to compete with mock because that's not possible.

Not at all ;D
It's just a small "vent".

At work just this week, I walked down to the little deli/pastry store in our building. I ordered a bagel. She places it in the toaster and then is waiting on it to warm up. It's early in the morning and she's tired, so what does she do? She takes her right hand (no glove of course), wipes her forehead, runs her hand down over her eyes, nose, mouth, chin, and stops at her neck...a motion you've done or seen done hundreds of times. The gross part was that my bagel pops out of the toaster right at that moment. She takes that same right hand, grabs my bagel, picks up both halves, places them together, wraps them in paper and hands it over to me. I simply looked blankly at her and said, "You've got to be freakin' kidding, right?"

No! Let's just say odds are she wasn't in the running for prom queen.

[Sassy]

So what did she say/do then?

It's really the little things in life that bother me, not the big ones.

Anyway, I just found it interesting to hear you call it "pop". I lived in Ohio until I was 12 and we always called it pop, but that term has dropped from my vocabulary ever since I moved out west 30 years ago. It just made me wonder what parts of the country use that term. Where are you, Sassy?

I've come to notice a lot of establishments do not use gloves.

I was born and raised here in CO, and have always called it "pop."

I here "soda" from time to time though.

was at work one night at greyhound, big fella came in, tank top and sweatpants...except these sweatpants were hanging BELOW his massive tank ass. He then proceded to waddle to the snack machine, in view of the counter, bends over, his candy gets stuck...i pray i dont have to go over there to help him. He then waddles back to the front of the station, sits down, bare ass on the lobby chair, eats his candy, drops the wrapper and waddles out. so ****ing gross...

:Broncos:

[clint7]

So what did she say/do then?

She actually looked confused (I'm sure she was just tired and had no idea what she'd just done) and asked if I wanted cream cheese on it! I then motioned with my hand to my face what she'd done. She just frowned like she didn't understand and I took the bagel, walked out, and tossed it in the waste can next to the elevators. I didn't want to cause a big scene.

[The Big E]

What about when you're meeting someone and you know they've just left the restroom. Then they want to shake your hand. Unfortunately, their hands are still a little wet. You're reasonably sure that they're wet because they just washed their hands and not because they just peed all over themselves, but it still gives me the willies.

[Lestat]

don't know what you guys are complaining for, most food place employees do alot worse stuff when you can't see, granted it's horrible to actually see it but it's not like they don't already do it

Or when the door has a handle on it...you know then that washing hands defeats the purpose.

I mean come'on you are eating at a establishment where people wear colored uniforms and have cartoon characters as company spokesmans. What do you really expect? Plus you got your meal on for three freaking bucks. If her finger doesn't kill you the food will.

[clint7]

But it's the seeing that makes it gross and makes it a reality. If you don't see it, you don't really think about it.

[DBruleU]

Thats why I alwyas take one extra paper towel out of the dispenser, and open the door with that, and drop the towel as I let go of the handle.

It was more like five...but that's not the point.
Even in other restaurants of a higher quality I'm sure stuff happens...not just in fast food places.

So that's not the point.

I usually use my shirt, but sometimes I use a towel.

[GonzoLays]

See this more of woman issue than a man's issue. When I was waiter in college, I would say 80-90% of complaints came from a female. Either the knife has a speck of dirt on it, or her food isn't warm enough, or this something in her glass. For a man something has to blatant for him to complain, like there is a finger in my glass.

[broncolife]

Is there so kind of health violation if they dont use gloves? Just wondering, because I went to Rallys the other day and I saw the guy making my burgers not wearing any gloves and a girl employee that was handing him the buns wasnt wearing gloves either.

I try and avoid them as much as possible too. If I were to actually throw the darn paper towel out, I'd have to go back into the restroom, then I'd start all over again. :)

Okay, here are a few that come to mind:

People that take their shoes off in inappropriate places. Airplanes are the worst, because you are just trapped with it. I was sitting next to a guy once that took off his shoes and socks, and then put his leg up on his knee so that his stinky bare foot was in my face. It was too much for me - I asked him to put his shoes back on.

I once had a business partner that would always be clipping his nails. GROSS! He also always used to look over my shoulder at whatever I was looking at on my computer. Then one time, he combined the two. He is standing right behind me, clipping his nails whilst reading over my shoulder and a nail clipping falls into my hair. I just went off on him.

I had a brother that would always bring his girlfriend up to my house while we were gone to use our jacuzzi. A year later, he laughingly told me that they would regularly have sex out there. I literally never got in that again. I drained and scrubbed it, but I still just couldn't do it.

Being that I did work in a bus station...I got to deal with alot of Bums. One of which, would WASH his feet in the sink. Then procede to not only soak the entire bathroom in footwater, but let his feet air dry as he walked his ass out into the lobby.

I had another bum, who would scrape his teeth with paper, and leave the paper by the payphone, covered in teethgunk.

Also had a bum leave his depends in the trash after a long night of sleeping by our trashcan. You can always visit this location by heading to the colorado springs greyhound...

Here's mine:

In college I decided to take Greyhound all the way up to New York City. 26 hours of pure hell. First, I get on the bus and the damn thing is packed. I finally found the last available seat in the back next to this guy who looked like he just got out of prison. No big deal though, I could handle that. Anyway the ride starts and we make our first stop. Only two people get off the bus and lucky me its the felon next sitting beside me. I look outside the window and I don't see anyone else at the bus station trying to go to New York City at 3:00 in the morning. What luck! I have the whole two seats to myself. WRONG! Right before we take off two guys start running towards the bus and much to my horror one of the guys looks like he weighs, no lie 350 pounds. The other guy was scrawny so I was praying, "please don't let this fat mofo sit next to me." Right, like that wasn't going to happen. He walks on the bus and deadeyes the seat next to me and plops his big ass down. But that wasn't even the worst part. He smelled like he was dipped in shiit and sprinkled with ass flakes. The foulest smelling dude I have EVER been around. This was ridiculous. He then proceeded to take his shoes off! He looked at me and asked if that was okay. I was like, "hell no that isn't okay." The whole time I have a hankerchief over my nose with shaving cream sprayed all over the hankerchief to kill the smell. No f'ing joke. The guy then had the nerve to ask, "do I smell or something?" I took the hankerchief down from nose, shaving cream all over my face, and said, "no dude, you don't smell. What the f8ck do you think?" I had to ride next to that mofo for three hours with NO reststop! Now that is the worst.

I heard on tv that fast food ice is worst then drinking toilet water.

Thats what you get for lying Ha!

Gotta be able to tell people straight up! "YO, you smell, keep you shoes on, and let me spray you down!!!"

Pet peeve: people who wear socks with sandals. What's the point?

Gross: Hair in my food. Human hair. I'd rather have a bug or pet hair than human hair. Absolutely nauseating.

They do worse things with the gloves on. Most people tend to ignore good hygiene when they wear gloves.

[sirhcyennek81]

Another fun thing from the Bus station...every so often, a milk white substance would be on the toilet seat or the urinal. I would pour bleach on my hands, put gloves on, pour bleach on the gloves, pour bleach on the toilet seat or urinal. Wipe down both, put the rags in plastic bags, pour bleach over my gloves again, take them off, throw them in a plastic bag, pour bleach over my hands again, then soak them in hot water. Can never be too careful...

Yep! Exactly what I do. And when I have to take my kids to the bathroom, I tell them not to touch anything. I don't touch the toilet flusher part either. I usually do it with my foot. Unfortunately, I did have a foot in the toilet mishap once because of it. ;D

[Mtbrncofn]

A couple of years ago I was at Shopko looking for a curling iron or something, so I was in the hair products aisle. I happened to look down and see that there was a lady down the way taking brushes from the hooks ( and sometimes sliding a cardboard wrapper thing off them ) and trying them out!! She was brushing her hair with all these different brushes.

I don't think I've bought a brush that wasn't in a package since.

[DomCasual]

So where did you dispose of the body? Ha!
That is true. I guess I said that wrong, as he IS still my brother.

What was worse was that there was a scandalous difference in their ages, so I had a bad attitude about it, to begin with.

[BroncoBuff]

Not at all ;D
It's just a small "vent".
I have a "vent" along those lines .... it's not "gross," but I HATE it when cashiers give you your change ... bills first, and then they poyr the coins on top of the bills .... like, "Oh, SURE! I wad up my coins inside my bills ALL THE TIME!"

[Odysseus]

What's the point?

They do worse things with the gloves on. Most people tend to ignore good hygiene when they wear gloves.

I watched a TCN - Third Country national go to the restroom with his gloves on. He was clearly unclear of the concept. To make matters worst they are more familiar with a french toilet than an American.

I saw a warning sign advising folks new to American toilets that you don't have to stand and squat. Just have a sit and let er rip. Imagine the injuries from falling on a toilet because it was slippery with you own bodily fluids. I bet that could be a pet peeve for somebody.

Why do we call them Third Country nationals anyway? None of us are from around here anyways.

Why do they call this crap sand? Sand is clean and you can make castles out of it. This crap is like dust from a vacuum cleaner bag...only nastier...and soaked with a blood or two centuries...a who knows what semi radioactive material might be floating around here. That is a pet peeve for sure.

I hate having to wear the same clothes for days at a time. It's like a fungus experiment or something. I hate road trips.

This place stinks...literally. It gets into everything. I want a hot tub, massage, some aroma therapy, (Anything that doesn't smell like a camel's ass - no close encounters) and candles. I want some borderline gay smelling candles. Arabic men are very conscious of smells and consider smelling good a sign of sophistication. I never could figure out why. I know now. I could make a killing just selling Irish Spring bath soap.

I left a house with an Air purifier, water distilation, organic fresh and garden grown food in my kitchen. I'm surprised I have not expired from the horrors of the way so much of the rest of the world lives.

Don't let me talk about my experiences eating in an Iraqi's home. Do you want to talk about a million flies and dirty water straight from an old barrell?

Oh yeah...the flies here are not normal. They are thirsty so the corner of your mouth, your eyes, your nose and ear are primary targets. I miss American bugs. American flies are butterflies. I remember getting stung by a wasp while back in the states. A wasp has got nothing on a sand flea.

If you drop a frozen patty on the floor at McDonalds's, no big deal, just pick it up and fry it on both sides. It'll kill the germs. I used to work at McDonald's.
