I was working my (usually slow) lunch shift when a twitchy, poorly
groomed man came in. I sat him and before I could even bring him
water, he approached me to tell me his order on the way to the
bathroom. Upon his return to his booth, he informed me that his order
was to go, because he “had to get to a party.” While waiting for his
food, I thought I observed him changing a bandage on his hand, but I
didn’t say anything. When I went to collect his money left on the
table a short time later, I found he had left me no tip, but a handful
of trash from his pockets that included fingernail clippings and used
bandages. I then found the used earplug he deposited on the bench.
I’ve never felt the need for a hazmat suit so badly. I still feel like
I need to shower every time I think of him.

That is gross!!
Whoah! After reading your headline I was thinking “No WAY this person got something worse than the Q-tip!”… but you proved me wrong! At least you can’t catch hep from a Q-tip! I can understand maybe the earplug fell out accidentally, but nails and a freakin BAND AID on the table- WOW. Hateful. He must be getting severely bullied at work &/or at home that he needs to pass his misery on like that. And now I’m smiling at the thought of him being severely bullied! I’m ashamed of myself, tee hee hee!
