Okay, I agree about the table top thing and I do the same thing but buttjuice? That never even crossed my mind!

I had to laugh when I saw the word buttjuice though- I had a cat when I was younger and he would sometimes squirt juice out of his butt (he was neutered so I don't think it could be spray)- we always called it buttjuice and after awhile that became his "other" name.

Fanny, you are weird. :)

(I think I can never go to a restaurant again and not burst out laughing when I see the silverwear.)

Resturants can be pretty nasty. I hate buffets because I don't want that many people breating and touching at my food before i eat it. Along those lines the sample plates they have at storea are out too. Too many dirty hands.

My big problem with resturants is- I'm a vegetarian- and no matter what I end up with a piece of meat on my plate. Especially at Mexican resturants. And people just don't get why this bothers me. I ordered a cheese omelette one time and it came with ham. The waitress insisted that I oredered it with ham. Yeah- I don't eat ham I'm pretty sure that I didn't. Even people I know sometimes tell me to just pick the meat off of meat pizza. NO!

I know, Iknow. That's more of a gripe than a quirk.

IDoes this count as a food quirk though- I absolutely HATE mushrooms. I will pick them out of anything. Yet, I like portabella MUSHROOM sandwiches!

So...I guess most of you folks don't cotton to the 15 second rule!

If something falls on the floor, you have 15 seconds to pick it up before it becomes inedible. Until then, its perfectly okay!

I do the 15 second rule sometimes at home only. It has to fall on my floor because I know how clean my floor is. Plus just because it is my floor. If something fell on the floor at a resturant...no way. they have sticky, stained dirty floors! At least I can judge if my own floor is clean enough for me to be willing to do that.

Fanny, what do you do if your napkin touches the table at a restaurant? Can you still wipe your mouth with it?

(I never heard of the 15 second rule before.)

How about roadkill. It's okay to eat it if you actually saw it die.

AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to Grooch I've just realized how much butt juice I've ingested over the years from napkins!!!!!

You never heard the 15 second rule? You know if you jump for it and get it right away it's fine. As if after 15 seconds it is covered in deadly germs. haha.

I tend to go gor the "immediatly" rule. 15 seconds is a long time to just let something sit on the ground. It also depends on if it's something really good or not. If it's just a peanut or something, I toss it. If it's a cookie- I'm not giving that up that easily!

Sorry, Fanny! <ROFLMAO!>

Kaili, there's a 1 second rule in my house. If anything falls on the floor and is there for more than 1 second, the dog has already eaten it. :)

Hillbilly.......LOL. I'm not much of a meat eater because if I think about what I'm eating and how it died..I just can't do it. Actually having to watch it die...that would push me over into the vegetarian group!

Grooch, around here, the food never hits the floor. I don't care where the dogs are in the house...if food is dropped, one of them will be there to catch it!

So is Fanny now leaving 'double-butt-juice' since what she's ingested will have 'gone with the flow' so to speak?

Ok I have now come to my senses regarding the butt juice situation.

Frankly, I have lived with this quirk so long that my butt juice avoidance actions have become instinctual. After careful thought I have realized that Grooch's napkin thing does not contribute to my ingesting butt juice. Please let me attempt to explain.

If napkins are rolled, then their insides haven't touched the butt juice covered tabletop. I just make sure that I am aware of which side is down. That is the side that is subject to BJ absorption. That is the side that my eating utensils do NOT get laid on and that is the side that touches my lap and therefore does not touch my mouth or hands. I ensure that side stays on my lap and does not get twisted or turned around.

If napkins are folded, I simply make a mental note of which side of the napkin has been exposed to the tabletop. That area touches neither my eating utensils nor my mouth or hands.

Therefore, in response to Draheid's accusation of my leaving double butt juice in my wake (now there's an image), I must respectfully disagree. Since I do not ingest butt juice, I cannot be a double butt juice carrier.

Thank you for the opportunity to clear my, er, "name". I'd also like to thank the nearby hospital who pumped my stomache, unnecessarily as it turns out, but they DID give me a boatload of valium which is why I have been able to give this carefully-crafted and well-reasoned response.

((((((((HUG FANNY)))))))))) it's okay..we still love you..even if you DID ingest double butt juice..

<Grooch wonders if the busboys ever wipe down the tops of the salt & pepper shakers with the butt rags, and if Fanny ever uses salt at a restaurant.>

Grooch and War, you beat me to it on the 15 second rule. The dogs are always there to vacuum up our dropsies!

Fanny, I found your butt juice story quite funny, especially considering your screen name! LOL. Now, what does your screen name really mean?

Oh, and another thing about butt juice....have you ever wondered how many leaky diapers have been plopped on the child seat portion of a grocery cart? How many people without kids use that for putting smaller items in the cart?

I never thought about it, until I saw a diaper commercial, and a mother was talking about how she was so embarrased when her baby had a BM all over the grocery cart! EWWWWWWW!!!

....thinking of heading over to the gripes thread to grumble about how this thread had phenomianl activity this morning until I posted. Now everyone has seemed to run away!

Whoami, I think we need a germaphobia thread. We are going to turn ourselves into a bunch of Marcellouses.

Whoami. Now that is disgusting. You stop now.
Don't make me come over there.
