ORIGINAL: joybaby ew i have the same problem with nails...toenails more than fingernails, but they're both disgusting. Feet are just icky. I'm a phlebotomist and sometimes i have to draw blood from people's feet. I guess i can handle that because i'm wearing gloves, and most of the time it's relatively easy so it's over quickly. One of the most unpleasant experiences i've ever had in a restaurant was the time that this woman was clipping her fingernails, at her table, while waiting for her meal to be served. The other one was the time i saw a woman flossing her teeth at her table between dinner & dessert. I tried to rationalize it, thinking that maybe she was disabled and couldn't get to the restroom...but then she finished her flossing (while sitting across from, talking to, and maintaining eye contact with her date or partner or whoever this poor guy was) and got up to wander around the room and look at the art on the walls until dessert came. Both of these were Mexican restaurants (not the same one, though). I know that has nothing to do with the behavior of these two women, i just thought it was quite a coincidence. I agree wholeheartedly with Chatterbox24...you can kiss my butt and do whatever you'd like with my feet, but i'm not touching yours. If that's not fair, so be it. Ok, that is just gross. I've worked on and off in restaurants for like 20 years, and I have to admit I've never seen that in any of them, and some weren't the 5 star type of eatery either. quote:
ORIGINAL: Kaliko Oh, I'm totally with you. Pea soup is okay, but actual peas are the devil. I'm just the opposite. I can't even tolerate the smell of pea soup, but I love peas. Hot with butter sauce, sauteed with chicken, cold in salad, and my personal fav, wasabi roasted peas. I think the pea soup thing is because when I was pregnant, my mother was making it and it made me vomit. Blech! quote:
ORIGINAL: Level FR Sooo.... spearing a pea with a toenail (like an olive on a toothpick) is out of the question? That is a mental image that is not going to go away easily. Damn you Level!
