To the lady at the downtown restaurant patio Sunday night: Thanks for changing your two year old at your table. Nothing says “yum” like a dirty diaper. Thank you for putting the full diaper on the table. My stomach did not need to stay in its regular place and retching always makes a meal better. Lucky I was there to remind you to take the crap offering with you as you intended to leave it for the poor server to clean up. It seems we differ as to what a proper tip should be. —Diaper-Free Diner

…why didn’t she just whip out her tit and fed at the same time…some people have NO CLASS but get offended when you point out that a restaurant is NOT a suitable place to change a diaper….have some discretion,morals and basic parental skills….maybe all restaurants should ban children up to the age of six so everyone’s dining experience isn’t ruined by rude parents…
What a sh!tty night out 🙁
That’s soooooo disgusting! Why do people treat human feces like any other garbage? YOUR child, YOUR responsibility- even what comes out of them!
Ah before you know it, children will be banned from restaurants.
I would have said something to her or the resturant manager. That is unacceptable at a resturant!!
If you can’t take an animal in to a resturant why would one think it was ok to change a shitty diper on the table.

Ok THAT is disgusting.
I smell bullshit. No server would have cleaned up some hag’s kid’s dirty diaper and I highly doubt anyone would be dumb enough to change their kid in a restaurant in front of everyone. I guess conceivably someone might try to do that but they would likely be asked to leave or at minimum go to the bathroom. And if not, then you’re just at a shitty establishment and you have no one but yourself to thank for choosing to go there.
If this is real and you didn’t say anything OP, you gotta be the most spineless person on earth.
..yea….this bitch smells a little..:)
Yeah she should have waited until she got on a bus and used the stroller as a change table
I used to be a dining room manager (before I thankfully got out of customer service), I can tell you that this has happened before in a “family oriented chicken roasting” restaurant.
Really gross factor, don’t read if you have a weak stomach…
Also, I had one incident of an older man came in about an hour before his daughter. He ordered an orange juice while he waited. After getting the orange juice he throws up on the menu. Then he licks said throw up off of the menu. Needless to say we threw that menu out. People are so gross. First of all it’s throw up, second of all, those menus are not clean, who knows what germs, fecal matter etc are on them. They get wiped down daily, but not enough to say they are clean.
Canned, I watched a woman stand guard over her child while he peed in a planter in Penhorn Mall once. I saw a man sidle up to his front tire ON PORTLAND STREET and piss on it right in the middle of the afternoon.
If you think no-one in Halifax is that classless, think again. Humanity is in a race to the bottom for manners. Going to be calling ourselves Torofax soon.
Matrix that’s disgusting! I would never change my kids diaper on a table in a resturaunt that’s ridiculous and leaving it sit there for the remainder of the meal and expecting the server to clean it? Wow I hope this is a BS bitch. I would however nurse at the table without hesitation. There’s nothing gross about breastfeeding and I always cover up in public.
Matrix, your customer wasn’t named Mr. Creosote, perchance?
Sadly, I don’t think this is a BS bitch. I was out with friends who use cloth diapers. Mom changed the baby in the washroom and asked hubby to put the cloth diaper in the wetbag. While rooting for the wetbag, hubby puts diaper on table. I just stared in disbelief until the mom took the diaper off the table.
Of course, I also work with a gem who thinks it’s ok to not only full on blow her nose (repeatedly) while you’re around a table eating, but to then tuck soiled tissue under her plate. Dirty kleenex! Under a plate!! At the table!!!
People are just gross.
It’s because she’s a self-entitled twat. Why use the restaurant’s washroom when they have a perfectly good table.
Matrix, you forgot THIRD: HE ATE HIS OWN VOMIT.
What, was he a collie/human mix???? That is… I am speechless.
I should not have googled that name…
People are just gross. At least in the case of the diaper, it wasn’t left on the table for the meal, it was done after the meal was done. It leaves me wondering about the parent not washing their hands and then touching things. We used a lot of sanitizer that day.
Also interesting thing to ponder, have you ever wondered why vinyl seats in restaurants crack? It’s bum sweat, the moisture causes them to crack.
LOLz – Sorry Matrix. I thought everybody knew…
Sadly, as I have been informed many times my monty python knowledge is lacking.
The restaurant manager should have politely asked her to change her demon spawn’s shit collecting diaper in the washroom…doing that on a restaurant table is unhealthy and disgusting.
I think the thing is, depending on the size of the restaurant, the manager may not be aware that is happening. Unless the staff or a customer points something like that out, it may not get noticed by employee’s. Due to other things like yelling customers and the general busyness of a restaurant.
Something should have been said though, it’s inappropriate. Although I do semi wonder if it were noticed and nothing was said because the server or manager etc didn’t want to be screamed at by a parent about their right to do this and do that, and discrimination against parents etc.
Pretty sad world we live in today with people acting like pigs.
cannatell… you’ve never had to sneeze at a table before?
much the same as blowing ones nose, just a little more involuntary.
the vomit… that’s pretty gross… though I guess he didn’t want to waste all those screwdrivers he drove into him. I could see a panhandler doing this… thankfully though, I have yet to.
and as for the main theme… the shitty diaper on a restaurant table.
fuck that. last thing I want to see while eating a taco is baby shit.
you couldn’t say anything??? like, oh, “hey, do you mind???? the washrooms are right over there?!?!? geeeeeeeebus”
and yes, with all that punctuation because that is just straight fucked up.
That’s so nasty and unsanitary!!You are awesome for telling her to take her baggage with her!Seriously some people!!There’s a thing called a restroom!!
hey matrix..when the server went to table for his order did he say: “fuck off I’m full” 🙂
Z, no no no. A sneeze, a quick blow, what odds. It happens, we’re all human. I’m talking full on triple tissue, disturbing conversations with the noise, over and over again, unsanitary for the rest of your table sort of deal. The kind of nose blowing you wash your hands after, and all done whilst reusing the same wad’o’tissues.
Yes, I find that poor table manners. But, my issue is more with the tucking off the dirty tissues under the plate at the table. The washroom was within our line of sight, it’s not like we were trapped somewhere with only a sleeve…

Yes, there are classless people everywhere including Halifax. However peeing on a street or in a plant is not equivalent to putting a shitty diaper on display in a restaurant in terms of gross/unsanitary factor (unless of course the plant is ripe and edible). And any restaurant where that could happen without any sort of managerial/staff reaction (like “get the fuck to the washroom or get out”) is one that will probably get shut down or continue serving scum of the earth customers who are willing to tolerate it but still too spineless to say anything at the time but then complain about it anonymously on the internet.
“It’s waafer thin”
shouldn’t it be “bumm” ?
bum is a hobo…
bumm is your arse.
kinda like but is a conjunction and
butt is your arse.
isn’t it? google seems to be taking the piss on me… which coincidentally doesn’t sound anything like what it means.
Last fall I took the bus to the walmart on mumford and was walking towards the steps beside the sobeys to get down to the walmart and was i’m just beside the terminal building I see this old man standing at the top of the stairs from a distance and he’s holding something by his crotch… as I got closer I realised he was holding his penis and was all “WTF?”
At first I thought he was masturbating, but nope, he was peeing on the steps. I don’t know which one is grosser, but I haven’t used those fucking steps since.
*shudder*
You should’ve told the manager about this, OP — it’s a health and safety hazard and I’m pretty sure they could be shut down by the health inspection board because of this so I’m sure they’d want to say something to the bitch changing her kid and/or ask her to leave as they likely wouldn’t risk their license over one k-unt with a huge sense of entitlement.
I was a flight attendant for 5 years. I’ve seen it all when it comes to parents and their kids diapers….one Mom gave me a cup of her son’s pee to dispose of (I directed her to the lavatory) people placing diapers in the little trash bag affixed to the food/drink card during service, someone placed one in the ice bucket because they thought it was a garbage people just handing me their diapers to me and saying, it’s just pee, changing their kids on the table trays (ummm…people eat off those!!!) and one of my personal favourites “the diaper exchange” where I give them their meal and they hand me a dirty diaper…oh, what good times I had!
urine is sterile.
sure that would be nasty, but it’s not going to do anything to your shoes PK..
that’s like saying you don’t want to use a bar of soap at your friends place because they wash their crotch with it.
Bum Supper – I thought this might have something to do with Pride Week, apparently not.
Doesn’t urine lose its sterility once it hits the air?
I’m not concerned about that so much as it’s just…. gross. And it smells. Blech.
Still, who does that? Just whips out their dick and pisses wherever?
LOL. One time outside a certain grocery store on Queen Street I saw a well-dressed old man take a leak in a corner on the outside of the store. At first I thought “he’s old, has medical problems, and when he has to go he doesn’t have lots of time” but then again he should have asked where the public washrooms are.
Some diabetics, especially older ones, have problems holding their bladders and can actually have accidents. Especially if their sugars are out of control. It’s really sad 🙁 And actually, wetting the bed is a symptom of type one, notably in children.
Thankfully I’ve never had that issue and I hope never TO have that issue.
But when it comes to the point where you can’t hold it and have to urinate in public… perhaps it’s time to consider an undergarment such as depends. It sucks, but can become a necessity.
Canned: good point. As upset as I was at those two cretins, this is soooo over the top. I was going to say The only thing that would have made it worse is if the left the diaper on their empty plates, but when I re-read the post they TRIED. If only this was Paris; the server would probably have slapped her.
A friend of mine just travelled across the country with her 6 month old. During the flight the baby’s diaper leaked liquid breast-milk-produced shit twice all up his back. BOTH times she took the little guy to the bathroom to change his diaper. Those things are TEENY TINY (last time I flew I used the airplane bathroom and my knees literally touched the door and I’m a shorty!), yet she managed.
People have no tact and a whole bunch-a self entitlement these days.
aah the ole breast milk poop up the back^^those bathrooms are itty bitty, i fill em up but i managed as well pk
..I think I have seen it all bragging? rites…in my restaurant after a big family celebration some girls musta got into a little fight with they’re…ahem..28 day apparatii..it was a unpleasant sight shall we say… 🙂
sorry their
When ya gotta go, ya gotta go.
Pork Pie: Bum Supper – I thought this might have something to do with Pride Week, apparently not.
=======================
And that would be specific only to Pride Week, as opposed to any other group how? Grief! Easy enough to see it does not have anything to do with it from the OP’s note. Enough with the slurs.
you and me marty, we’ve seen some strange, i say, strange things
dartguy – the next time you cross the bridge pick up a sense of humour.
I changed my little guys diaper on a park bench today at the lake 🙂 ill change it in most places because he’s little and a bum rash isn’t worth the wait. But if there’s a bathroom ANYWHERE near by then ill take advantage of it for sure. But this story only reinforces what I always say “some peoples parents!” Its not a baby bitch, its a parent bitch. And these people are grosse! (I also use diaper disposal bags that smell beautiful! And take all my diapers with me when I leave).
Hey PP I do have a good SOH, usually a bit wry/dry and even macabre at times, but there. Guess though that my skin is thinner than it used to be. Just that so many folks have worked hard, often suffered and some even died trying to obtain and even maintain rights that many were granted so easily. And Pride parades, weeks etc. grew from that so this is a time of year I think of those sacrifices, so perhaps was a bit over touchy about ‘bum humour’ being mixed with Pride. Peace, and enjoy the parade if you get a chance!
“Doesn’t urine lose its sterility once it hits the air?”
well, once it comes in contact with something else, yes… in this case, the step.
which had he not urinated on, you would have walked on anyways….
The year there’s a Cornhole float in the parade is the year everyone shows we can laugh about it and maybe actually have a good time. until then, fuck the parade.
Urine may be sterile but the genitalia it emerges from is far from sterile. End of ‘urine is sterile’ argument.
sadly, I cannot do much searching at work so I will have to leave it at that.

OC, don’t you wash your genitalia? It’s skin just like the rest of your body.
You can’t wash the inside.
Now that’s art! Thanks zed. >: )
