Aside from the likelihood of this outing my account, I once had a first date at a renowned noodle house in town, and the surprise rarity of the single table in the front window (converted Victorian, alcove). We order, make small talk, I think it's going great โ€” until movement in the corner of my right eye out the window draws me to watch, in the middle of her sentence, a full-grown adult male climb onto the hood of the parallel parked car and proceed to empty his thrice-cursed bowels onto it like he was putting out a chemical fire.

I recall being unable to look away and catching her attention drift toward my view at the same time the waiter arrived with our lunches, only to table them with an "Uhm. Well." and ghost.

So, not exactly "at another table", but the whole place has front row seats, so ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

This only outs you if there's a single incident of this ever across all of the Victorian noodle houses in America presumably, which I doubt is the case considering gentrification and such

After finishing his food, an old guy was cleaning his teeth with the laminated menu card

I always assume that the menu card is filthy but I never even considered it may have gems from someone flossing with it. ๐Ÿคฎ

Edit: I meant germs but gems could work in the sarcastic sense.

He was casual about it too as if it was a normal thing to do.

I wonder what his wife thinks.
