Default I am getting to close to have

seen it all. Boys, I was at the local burger joint for lunch. This place is famous in our area for years. Nothin fancy just chlorestrol raising burgers at their finest.

I was back at the soft drink machine for a refill waiting behind a guy in overalls of some oilfield service company. You know how they have the lever beside one of the drink levers for water? The jerk was rinsing his hands under the water from the coke machine. I kid you not. I could not let this go without a comment interspersed with a question of his ancestry.

Guy looked at me like I was nuts! Never seen a dude wash his hands where folks get their beverages.

Just another social grace trashed I guess?

What would you have done?

Don't worry, there are better things coming.

It is possible he may have just moved out of a mud hut, but if he didn't, I am totally lost for words.

I'd have reminded him there was a washroom specifically for that purpose and that me and all other patrons didn't apreciate his doing that in that location. I'm sure the board of health isn't too happy about that either.

My parents and grandparents had a saying for when I was doing something like that. It went like this: "you weren't born in a barn so stop acting like it".

I wouldnt have worried about it enough to start a fight over it. Although I havent seen it done, I dont think they recycle that water.

I saw one not to long ago,

I was at the gas station and watched a guy use the window wash bucket to clean up his hands. Then he used it on his face, I about died. This guy was dressed for office work and was driving a nice car.

People, You just never know..........

I don't believe I'd have said anything. I've seen worse...much worse.

Some men wash their hand before they take a leak.

Some men wash their hand after they take a leak.

Some men wash their hands WHILE they take a leak! (yickkk!)


Saw a news clip about a soft pretzel vendor in Philthadelphia several years ago. He took a leak behind a car , zipped up , took a swig of his coffee , spit the coffee into his hands and 'washed' them that way!

I had a friend tell about seeing a cook in the army stiring up some mashed potatoes with his nose running in the kettel. He busted his nose for him!

I was working at an auto parts department and the guy that fills the gumball machines pulls out a handkerchief, blows his nose, stuffs the handkerchief back in his pocket then starts stirring the M&M's with his snotty hand. I suggested he just take the machine with him because I was going to hide it in the back anyway. He asked why and I told him I saw him sticking his snotty hands in it and my customers aren't going to use it. He got angry grabbed his machines and left.

There's some real cavemen out and about these days.
Civilization reached the top and we're on a downhill roll.

Back in the 50s I worked on huge "truck farms". There might have been 20 of us kids working on our knees in the hot fields. For water it was a 5 gallon open bucket with a dipper for all to use. I cant get too excited over some of these storys.
