Is this disgusting or am I overreacting?

I was at a restaurant the other day with my mom, and we had outdoor seating because it was FINALLY a gorgeous spring day here in WI. I look over, and can't believe what I saw.

Is it the shoe off thing? Is that what has grossed you out?

Yes, she has her shoes both on the ground, and her feet are resting on the chair across from her.

ETA, I also get grossed out by people blowing their nose at the table, so maybe it's me. LOL

I wouldn't do it but it doesn't bother me so I don't think it is gross.

 

[luvsJack]

well, unless I was planning on putting my food in the chair where she had her feet, I don't think I would even notice or care.

I don't think it's something I'd do but I don't think it would bother me in an outdoor setting like this.

Blowing the nose I agree with you completely though.

 

[robinb]

Nope. Doesn't bother me at all.

No worse than someone wearing short shorts (as in bare, possibly sweaty, skin on the chair). I'd imagine chair seats aren't really the cleanest of surfaces, but I choose not to think about that!

I was wondering what was so offensive about a tortilla chip on the ground...

 

[kimblebee]

Nope, wouldn’t even faze me. I always look at a chair before I sit in it so if there was dirt or a stone or something it would get brushed off.


Personally, I think it’s beyond weird to purposely take pictures of strangers in order to shame them.

I should've cropped the picture a bit more. LOL

ETA...cropped.

Please, don't hold anything back. Maybe your friends on the other DIS playground would like to weigh in.

Me too, I had to read the other posts to figure out what I was actually supposed to be looking at. I would never do it, but since I don't plan on eating food off of restaurant chairs anytime soon it isn't likely something I would even notice to be honest, if I did notice, I would basically think in my internal monologue: 'well, that's a choice I wouldn't make', and leave it at that.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Gross, no. Bad manners at a restaurant, yes.

(Then again, I probably wouldn't have noticed. - I was another one wondering what was so gross about the chip until others posted.)

 

[wenrob]

I too, wondered what that tortilla chip did to you.

Eh, as has been pointed out there have probably been worse things in that chair.

Blowing your nose in a restaurant or where people are eating IS disgusting. You’re not wrong there.

Seconded this in all respects.

I feel like I should tell a terrible story on myself now - Friday night I was on a date and had a sneeze sneak up on me, one of those totally unprepared for, knocks you backward type of sneezes. Instead of sneezing into the bar I was sitting at, I turned my head and sneezed all over my husband. I did then excuse myself to actually blow my nose. I felt so bad...but it was really funny too.

I wouldn’t do it, and do think it maybe shouldn’t be done but wouldn’t worry about it.

And could someone point out the tortilla chip? I guess I am blind as I looked twice and don’t see that.

It looks like the picture has since been cropped, you are not going crazy.

If you give a crap that someone not even sitting next to you has their shoes off while eating at an outdoor venue not bothering anyone else then you've got way too much time on your hands.

Sorry, I have no idea what you are implying.
