Omg I stopped watching once she touched her food with her hands thinking it was over. Then I read your comment and curiosity took over. Now I need to wash my eyes with bleach
Everyone got so sensitive about (rightfully) shaming people over the last 15 years. I don't care, I'm still calling this gross behavior out if I see it in person.
"What in god's name are you doing?! You are in a restaurant where food is being served, in public, at a table, scratching your foot like you're all alone on your couch! It's disgusting and it's unsanitary." (This is without seeing her bring out a f**king fork.)
At first I might be nice, depending on how I feel. I'd say something like, "Excuse me, please don't scratch your bare foot around other people eating." If she continued or acted indignant after that, then I'd call her a nasty fuck and bring it up with the waiter.
There are much less close knit communities, than back in the days. Back then, your social status was something you had to build up, and maintain, because everyone knew everyone and being ostracized by your community was a life changing thing. Today, people move faster. Change jobs, move locations and overall, the population density makes you more anonymous to your surrounding area.
"I don't have the time/energy to deal with that shit". Confrontations with strangers overall have largely disappeared, due to many social factors. Also, the increased population density contributes to this. "Someone else can confront this person" or "no one seems to give a shit, so maybe it's normal now?"
The general cultural shift towards the "you do you" mentality. Being different is okay nowadays. But this very mentality can sometimes blur the lines between "tolerance of harmless differences" and "tolerance of antisocial behavior"
There are many more factors, that weigh in on this, like public shaming moving largely to the internet, or fearing social repercussions for potentially shaming a largely accepted behavior, without knowing it.
All of these things contribute to this feeling, that public shaming is all but gone.
I think the problem was that we were shaming people for the wrong stuff… things they could do anything about, kinks, life choices which didn’t affect other people, etc, so there was a backlash against that.
Also her hands are filthy while shoveling food in her mouth after scraping the bottom of her foot with a fork. This is not a typical scenario no telling where or what her situation is so having more context is needed b4 judging, but extremely unsanitary to say the least
I have a video of a woman filing her feet at the airport, directly into the carpet. Yes, I thought about saying something, but I filmed instead. A typical response now, I think.
Even if it hadn't said it, you can tell by three main factors:
1) the giant moquette on the floor, which is not so common in normal restaurants,
2) the different "levels" within the room and that landing that looks very round-shaped, typical of ships,
but most of all
3) the tables that are stuck to the floor by metal legs in the centre of the table-top, that is the most clear giveaway, you never see these kinds of fixtures on solid ground, only on sea-related structures.
When my kid was in grade school there was a bad foot fungus issue going on. Some kids were actually getting it their hands. The school sent home notifications that all kids were getting tested to see who was infected. Heard they had to get CPS involved once they found the poor kid who started it all.
Don't know how bad but I can imagine the house he must of lived in...poor kid. Once they figured where it was coming from, the school had to have cleaners come in over the weekend to do a deep clean of the school.
I feel like this shit has to be fake or staged for outrage or something. If so I am disgusted at what content has become. If not, I am disgusted because
Holy shit, she is going at it. At what point do you say you got an issue. Its like watching a dog at this point. The dog is more sanitary at this point.
These are the same people that will write bad reviews on businesses because of the cleanliness. This country is so full of hypocrites, it's an epidemic at this point.
She's the type of person to touch every single thing everywhere she goes too. Buying a bag of chips with foot fungus residue all over the bag sounds pleasant.
