Disgusting things you see each day.

An old man at a self serve buffet in a local hotel sucking the spoon after he helped himself to the desert, he just placed the spoon back on the plate for the next person to use.

Why didnt you just say it to her. Or to a supervisor to stop her from doing it again, as surely she was trained to take the gloves off when she is finished handling the meat.

Appropriate username is appropriate.

Today I had to do the grocery shopping. I went into the butchers that was next door to Dunnes Stores. I asked for whatever meat I was buying and the woman scooped it up in her hand, wearing a glove.

I looked around for the desk to pay at, but there was none. The butcher lady then asked me for the money, I paid her and she took the money with the gloved hand she had just touched the meat with.

She scooped my change from the register and gave it back to me, using her gloved hand. A little horrified, I watched as the next person approached her and asked for meat. She didn't change her gloves, but touched their meat with the glove she had just been handling the money with.

I threw the meat in the bin outside the shopping centre.

The contamination was on the change. You should have thrown your money in the bin.

Oh! No recession here t'what t'what!

Most disgusting thing I see on a daily basis here is middle-aged Spanish men checking out girls in their early teens and not being in any way discreet about it. Heeby-Jeeby City.

I saw a junkie today.

I agree! Money is really filthy. I actually don't think the OP is being unreasonable here.

Yes, some people are overly-militant on germs but in some instances people have a right to be disgusted. People are saying "Cook the meat properly" but would you be the same if you saw someone pick their nose and then handle meat? Because you could just cook that meat well too.

I presume in that case you eat no fruit at all?

Because you have no idea who touched the food beforehand. And all you can do is give it a bit of a wash as opposed to actually burning all the germs off.

my local butcher back home did the same one day. i still cooked it and ate it, but never went back there. it's a pity cause their stuff was really nice and really cheap.

i do believe nowadays we're over the top about hygiene but we've already screwed ourselves over, me deciding not to follow hygiene practices isn't going to get me anywhere.

in my old subway place in limerick there was a girl and two guy servers, the guys were always grand, but the girl, every time would put the stuff in the oven, take your money, hand you your change and go back to making your sandwich. drove me crazy. asked her to change her gloves, and i'm sure she remembered me because of it, but she still wouldn't have the cop on to do it. don't know how these people have jobs. When i worked in a deli i changed mine constantly.

People clearing their throats/sinus and gobbing on streets. Turns my stomach. Ano no, it's not just a skanger thing.

this also drives me mental. but what's worse for me is that my boss does it all day long, and he sits beside me. and he clearly doesn't need to. he was concentrating on something for a few minutes, and didn't do it at all, but then when he was done it was back to *snort* *snort* *snort* for the rest of the day.

I'm probably going to get some abuse for this, but i'm not liking how often i've been seeing women breastfeed in public.

i'm also quite sick of seeing people picking their nose right in front of me. i mean gross. i can see you, i'm looking right at you, you can see me looking at you. stop it!
