What's your biggest gripe/bitch

[tekkieman]

I think it's funny watching german tourists visit Pizza Places. A lot of them ask for silverware. I know it's a cultural thing, but you gotta get your hands dirty sometimes. And not everything has sauerkraut to sanitize your hands.

You should offer them corn on the cob

I went to Atlanta once on a business trip with a co-worker, Roger, and we went to a pizza place there. Roger was raised in South Carolina, and apparently his family never touched their food with their hands. I wonder how his mother prepared the meals

We sat down and the pizza came. Roger pulls out the knife and fork and starts hacking away. It was the silliest looking thing .....I'd like to see him eat a hot dog or ribs or string cheese. Or this - how the **** does he eat popcorn?

My mother is the same way. Eats fajitas with a fork and knife!

tekkieman - your mom didn't pass that along to you?

No way! It was pretty funny having her over for dinner. Both the wife and I eating with our hands, and her with the silverware. Plus, digging into the garnishes with our hands for lettuce, cheese, etc. Thought she might get sick over that one.

Big change from when I was young and we would slaughter our own chickens, rabbits, etc for meals!

I should invite Roger over and have my wife make an antipasto or something else finger-intensive. I could dig through the appetizers and then offhandedly say "Oh drat, I forgot to wash my hands after I launched that last floater. Oh well, we're all friends here, right?" Naahhh, Roger's a good guy and that would be too mean even for me

We got a germ freak here too. A couple of funny things. He types on his computer with disposable white cotton gloves. He's dubbed the HIT-MAN, because he's always around the office in leather driving gloves. You only see his hands when he's washing them (up to his elbows every time), and he makes sure his leather gloves are set properly in his back pockets, so as not to fall on the floor. The final funny thing is when he's standing at a urinal to pee, he drops his pants and shorts down to his ankles like a little kid. The last thing I want to see walking through a public bathroom is a man's harry a** and legs. If he's so worried about germs, wouldn't he be worried about his pants possibly touching the floor and getting Heaven Knows What on them?

A few things wrong with the guy's approach - storing his "clean" gloves inches away from his *******, dropping his pants in front of the urinal to soak up any stray pecker-tracks on the floor from previous patrons, and standing in a men's room bare-assed to the world. That'll either get his ass kicked, or bungholed

That's damn funny. Truth is he's probably breeding way more germs inside his gloves than he would ever come in contact with outside... Also cotton is not at all germ proof. any germ passes right through it, and grows on the fibers. LMAO what a dumbass!

LOL you should let him know this and watch him sqirm a bit

Not to mention, the more germs you shield your body from, the more violent the reaction will be once they finally do come in contact with you (ala War of the Worlds) That doesn't mean that it's wise to boost your immunity by swimming in septic tanks, but our bodies have adapted to the common household germs long ago. Live with them. We couldn't digest our food properly without them.

The last thing I need is the added stress of seeing a man's hairy bare a** on my way to take a piss. That image haunts you and makes it hard to urinate.

True Well, it's a quick way to do an orientation check - as long as that still grosses you out, you're OK. A better way would be to test your reaction to a nude Olsen Twins spread from Playboy, once they do that.

My wife better be close by or Rosey would be getting a good work out. There might be chance of that as the girls are having the "adulthood" stray into the real world. Now if they just do it before they go all Spears or Aguilera, that would be nice.

I walked into the restroom here where I work and some guy I have never seen before was doing that. I started busting up laughing. He kinda gave me a dirty look so I say, "What are you like 4 years old or what?"

I've never seen that here. I would probably hold my tongue here because we're always getting surprised when a new center director is named ....and some day it could be that 4-year-old-pisser

[Doramius]

I have never had this happen, but I have heard of people who have witnessed this. What would you do if you walked into a men's room to see a guy standing at the urinal loudly jacking off with violent shaking? Personally, I'd find another restroom, or at least make the comment, "Dude, use an enclosed stall!" If it's a guy at work I knew, I don't think I could ever shake his hand again. I'd probably ask for that other guys leather gloves.

You'd have to be stupid to get caught, just keep an ear out for the door! i mean, uh.... you'd have to listen for the door...... i suppose.

Next time you're ill you should sneeze in a tissue next to the germ freak, then say "oh!" drop the tissue on his desk to open a file in your other hand "i have some information for you" dump it on the tissue and leave.

I wasn't worried about it, a guy like that wouldn't last 2 days here! LMAO

Excellent point Cap. My cousin is a germ freak too, so were her parents. Every cough, every sniffle off to the doctor they went. Won't eat anything anyone else has touched...etc. Guess what, she is sick all the time. And she damn near starved to death when she stayed with my grandma. My grandma was an old Kentucky girl, she touched everything thing she cooked and what she didn't touch, I touched so she wouldn't eat it.

My parents on the other hand were exact opposites. I had to have advanced stages of pneumonia before I could get a teaspoon of Vicks Formula 44 cough medicine, and we won't even discuss the food...you guys are well aware of the sanitariness(:lol) of some of my eating habits...Now in my adult life, I get sick about once every 2 years. Never a bad sickness, just a cold. I don't take asprin, Tylenol, Advil or any other form of medication for any reason. The only pain that I have trouble ignoring is toothache pain and I can shut it off too, it just takes me longer to adjust. My cousin will be dead by age 40 at the rate she is going. She has a sister and brother who are also just as sickly as she is.

I say eat the germs, why not...they aren't going to kill you and if you eat something you shouldn't have...well hey, that's what they make penicillin for Of course the canker sore on your tounge is difficult to explain but..........

[flaninacupboard]

yeah, reminds me of the B5 episode where Sheridan gets interrogated by Earth Force. if i drop food on the floor, i pick it up. if it doesn't have visible dirt or hair on it, i still eat it. works ok with stuff like chips, but things like chocolate always come up dirty.

It's a point i use a lot, but, we survived a million years of evolution touching all our food and never washing our hands.......

What was the average life expectancy of a human during the bronze age?
Maybe 30 if they were lucky

That was because they got et by big, hungry animals, and bled to death in childbirth

Ah yes, because artificially stretching our life span out to 130 years is a great idea

Women wouldn't have a menopause at fifty if they didn't live that long.

C'mon stilt - calling "****" a video term because it's often uttered by video technicians is a bit of a stretch, don't you think?

What good are women when they hit menopause? I say once the kids are on their own, start some more with a new model that has working plumbing.

A sentiment that I don't wholly disagree with, but one that, if uttered in my house, would bring on a spate of Lorena Bobbitt nightmares

I think that comment uttered in any household would bring a terrible wrath.

hair on public toilet seats. doubtlessly the most annoying/sick thing i come across commonly.
