The other day, I was at the mall and there was this woman sitting on one of the benches breast-feeding her baby. There's a time and place for everything. The mall is not the time nor the place to breast-feed a baby!

OMG- on a road trip back to Atlanta one evening, a friend and I spotted a car on the freeway with it's cab light on...the driver was an obese man with his shirt off...and upon further observations, he had a porno mag spread open on his steering wheel!!

Unfortunately, we couldn't speed away cause we were pulled over and ticketed a few miles before.

I really hate to see people making out in public. I was at the DMV one day last week, and there was this couple there in the waiting area totally making out for like 5 minutes! I was like GET A ROOM, this is the DMV for crying out loud!

And then on one other occasion, not only did I see a couple with their tongues down each other's throats, but the guy wasn't wearing a shirt and the girl kept picking scabs and stuff on his back! SO gross!

BAWAHAHAHA!

I learned a long time ago to never eat while on the internet nor watching TV.

My grandfather does this. It is VERY, VERY disgusting to me! Ew! I'm grossed out even thinking about it.

Yeah, but if we were 15 year old boys, that might be the highpoint of our adolescent careers.

A different population of boys would go out for Thong Patrol versus hall monitor.

Yeah I don't like big hairy but cracks showing either. Or even the styles that show underware. Pull up your pants boy!

Oddly enough, in a fit of double standard, I don't mind when pretty girls have visible things or whatever.

This isn't something that I saw per se, but... I was once on an airline flight where there was a man with a small baby a couple of rows away. This baby's diaper needed changing something fierce, and everyone within 5 rows knew it, except for her father. Dad had plenty of opportunity to take the baby into the lavatory and change her. Maybe he figured diaper changing was women's work.

(I didn't see any sign of a mother.) So my lucky fellow passengers and I got to breathe the sweet smell for around an hour and a half. At least it wasn't a transcontinental flight

When you work in a mall for a full day you get used to seeing the weirdest of things...and often things you'd rather not see again...

For instance, men, women, children wearing clothes that are too tight/revealing. That's just wrong. Like I'll be minding my own business, daydreaming, and then all of the sudden I'll catch sight of some person's ass halfway haning out their shorts...or some girl's chest almost falling out. I don't care if it's a skinny or fat person...it's all the same to me...cover yourself!

I was also grossed out when I was walking next to the pretzel place the other day and the new girl at the register was waiting to take a customer's order and she was sticking her tounge out, playing with her tounge ring....you probably have an idea of what I'm talking about. How unprofessional. Keep your piercings in your mouth at least until your done working. No one ordering pretzels wants to take a look at the gaping hole in your tounge.

That's about all I can say for now...the rest I've already seen too...mother's breastfeeding at the mall, changing diapers, vomit....

You guys should have said something. Not only is feces a health hazard, but that baby probably got a terrible diaper rash as a result of having feces squished between the diaper and their bumcheek skin for an hour and a half (which to me, is bordering on child abuse, for a parent not to change a diaper in a timely manner [which to me is within 20 minutes of the "smell test").

Also, you could have summoned a stewardess to make this request directly to the man too, if you didn't want to do it youself....that's what they're there for......

I have to say that the "breastfeeding in public" posts are making quite angry. There is nothing sexual about this, and breast milk is a helluva healthier too than formula.

What's more, I would rather see a woman quietly breastfeeding her baby in the mall, than having to listen to the baby SCREAMING LOUDLY from hunger.

And I would never advocate that a woman breastfeed her baby in the mall bathroom either...would YOU want to eat your meal in a place that smelled like poo-poo?

I have two small daughters and I breast fed. When my children got hungry in public , I WENT TO THE CAR! If a woman doesn want to walk to her car she should COVER HER BREAST! Geez, women who breast feed in public think they have just discovered something. I'm glad they are providing their children with healthy nutrition, I just have no desire to view their naked breasts.

Yuck....

A few things i just hate are:

-Men with hair chests/backs walking around in public or driving with no shirts on..........I *HATE* body hair....eww eww eww........men with neck hair that comes out of their shirts grosses me out too, but whatever....

-I also hate seeing people kissing or having sex anywhere......public placs are esp. bad.......but I can't even watch it on TV
-I also can not STAND to see people driving with their feet hanging out the window.......ick, i hate feet enough as it is.....there is NO need to see them while I'm trying to drive on I-70....yuck

One day at the laundromat, I watched two women pull out hand mirrors and tweezers and pluck their chin hairs.

I work in a restaurant, and we have this couple who are regulars. They come in almost every night and sit at the bar. They ALWAYS end up groping and kissing each other. At the bar!! It's bad enough to do that at your own private table, but at the bar?!?!?! And they are NOT attractive people.

I also can't stand to see fat women in clothes that don't fit. Some people were not meant to wear tank tops and spandex.

In response to the breastfeeding issue, I agree that it's a perfectly natural, non-sexual thing, but it doesn't need to be done in the middle of the mall. At least find a quiet corner, or as Jody said, go to the car.
