We had a chap in our office who would pick his nose and roll it into a ball on his cheek with his finger then put it in his mouth and spit it into a waste paper basket.
To be honest he was quite a good shot. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D ;-)

Dear All

Hello

Well, I saw a young man once intently prodding his ear with finger and then
began to eat the ear wax.

Ughhhhhh!


Take gentle care
Best wishes

What I find off putting,,,,,,,,,though I never buy anything,,,,people selling cakes and stuff on stalls,they may wear gloves or use tongs,,,,, take the cash all with the gloves on or not ,then go on to the next person still wearing the same gloves!,,,,,,,,,and nowhere in sight do you see any water or a bowl for hand washing,

and those sweet shops where people help themselves with little scoops,I have seen hands go in and take a sample.........where have those hand been and what have they touched.........!

A man entered a restaurant and sat at the only open table. As he sat down, he knocked the spoon off the table with his elbow. A nearby waiter reached into his shirt pocket, pulled out a clean spoon and set it on the table. The diner was impressed. "Do all the waiters carry spoons in their pockets?"

The waiter replied, "Yes. Ever since we had that efficiency expert out; he determined that 17.8% of our diners knock the spoon off the table. By carrying clean spoons with us, we save trips to the kitchen."

The diner ate his meal. As he was paying the waiter, he commented, "Forgive the intrusion, but do you know that you have a string hanging from your fly?"

The waiter replied, "Yes, we all do. Seems that the same efficiency expert determined that we spend too much time washing our hands after using the men's room. So, the other end of that string is tied to my penis. When I need to go, I simply pull the string to pull out my penis, go, and return to work. Having never touched myself, there is no need to wash my hands. Saves a lot of time."

Wait a minute," said the diner, "how do you get your penis back in your pants?"

"Well, I don't know about the other guys, but I use the spoon."

We saw a couple (older at least in their 60s) trying yoghurt......... they peeled back the lid, stuck a finger in and licked off the yoghurt. They tried a few before putting one in their trolley, ofcourse one with a sealed top.

I was horrified, and went to the service desk to let them know.

:-(

and..... how could I forget... Mum talked about this for years and years......... the waitress who cleaned her fingernails with a fork!

Oh my days, I can hardly believe what some of you have seen, don't know which is the worst example, but I do think I'm about to throw up.
Why are some people so gross?? As was said earlier, you have to wonder what on earth they do in their own homes.

By the way, regarding the licked ketchup bottle...I told the waiter and he removed the bottle from the table. I so wanted to go over and say something to Mr Ketchup Licker but I was so furious I knew I'd lose my temper and it would all come out wrong :-|

A young male couple walking around Sainsbugs. Try to decide what jam to buy.

One opened a jar, stuck his finger in the jam, placed said jammy finger in his friends mouth for him to taste.

Second male agreed he liked the jam.

First male put the first jar BACK on the shelf, and picked up another!

I never eat food off a laid out table at receptions or anywhere,,,,,,never ever......and neither have food at these carvery places where all and sundry have handled the ladles,,,,,ugh.......I always polish cutlery with a napkin if its already laid out.

..........thats why eating out is such a big problem for me/us.


I'd rather have fish and chips in the paper with a wooden fork,,,,,or if have to, fingers,,,,,,,at least I carry anti bac gel.......or go without till I get home.


I have seen children drop food,mum bends down picks it up and gives it back the them,,,,,,,,,, :-S :-P,,,but I bet they dont have bad tums...... :-)

What I hate is being served by somebody who has cuts or sores on their hands not covered by a plaster, almost as bad is the assistant that licks their finger to open the bag they are putting my purchase in!

At a food fair recently we watched a woman with her fingers all over the cheese sample bits I said in a very loud voice right in her ear almost. I wish people would use the sticks provided I won't bother to buy now. She looked very puzzled. She was in her 50s I guess. Another stall further along had pieces of cheese and no sticks available. I said to OH again loud enough to be heard. won't bother there if he doesn't provide sticks. went past an hour later and there were sticks.

I will never go to a buffet restaurant unless it is served by staff except maybe a chinese buffet where the food is too hot to use your fingers and too 'messy'.

Karen, I hope you removed the bottle and emptied the contents out and handed it to the waiting staff telling them what you saw.

I was in hospitality for 9 years (4* hotel). It's the guests who pick food up from the buffet and put it back you have to watch out for, my staff had to scoop it up quick and bin it! Not knowing where their hands had been so if another guest was poisoned the responsibility would still have been ours,

Don't accept a glass which has been 'breathed on' before being polished, a favourite trick in pubs when their glass washer is knackered. DO NOT EAT complimentary nuts or crisps on the bar...if they are not prepared for you personally you don't know how many other fingers have been rooting about in them :-(
