solascriptura Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I was just at the fancy pants grocery store called Wegmans. I happened to glance over and saw a good looking, well dressed man stick his hand down his pants to adjust his "front parts" and then go to the bulk bins to buy his fancy health foods. He then proceeded to handle all the scoops, bags, and twist ties. gag. I am never going to buy bulk stuff again. So gross! :scared: :ack2: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemommy Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 What the??????? That is disgusting. Ugh. We have a fancy store like that here too. They seem stuff in bulk bins but I can never bring myself to buy it. I'm kinda neurotic about food (I've seen one too many kids playing in the rice or bean bins), but that story just seals the deal. 😖 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornblower Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 :ack2: I avoid bulk but what about the produce??? rant follows: why must men adjust their junk???mamas of boys, please make this part of your parenting: NO adjusting your junk. If you must, go to the bathroom, fix whatever needs fixing & wash your hands. If you're constantly adjusting, something is wrong with your undergarment style, or you have a medical issue that needs checking. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Mama Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 As I was reading this, one of the Chipmunks just walked by with his hand down his pants. I'm not naming names in case we ever meet any of you in real life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amo_mea_filiis. Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 My no-filter 14 year daughter old says you should have prompted him to wash up after adjusting his junk. Lol 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkyandtheBrains. Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Next time, hand them a little container of hand sanitizer. "Dude if you are gonna adjust your junk, at least sanitize before handling anything else" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halftime Hope Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 That's disgusting enough that I would have said something to him. I had a life-changing "watershed moment" when my two eldest kids were tiny: a pre-schooler standing in front of us in an amusement park line whipped out his parts and peed on the slick asphalt while his mother, who was standing right next to him, did nothing. (The least she could have done would have been to correct him and go get something from the nearby restroom to absorb it while calling to a park employee--there were plenty within the vicinity.) I was more disgusted by the parent than by the child's behavior. (I ended up bringing a pile of TP out to soak up the liquid while dh went to go get an employee. The mom got on a kid ride with her kid and completely ignored the mess, even though she knew exactly what had happened.) I thought about it for a couple of days and swore I'd never, ever ignore behavior that was a public nuisance and a health hazard again. That incident has emboldened me to be outspoken and to let the chips fall where they may on several occasions, but I'll not ever stand by quietly in shock again. Mr. Hands in Pants would have heard from me. I would have asked him to go wash his hands, and I'd have threatened to go ask a store manager to escort him if he didn't go of his own volition. Yeah, I'm cranky about things like this. ETA: edited for clarity and for a better explanation. I don't pretend to have a quick solution or a good rejoinder on a moment's notice, but determination to act has helped a lot since that first time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greta Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Oh, that's nothing. Something happened in a grocery store here in my city that is so disgusting that it made national news, and landed the offender in prison (he deserved it). It's so bad I'm not even sure if I should provide a link. Really, it's just awful. I'll just say that since hearing this story, I have not eaten any of those free samples that they give away in grocery stores, and leave it at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelli Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'm so sorry OP. Blech. :eek: I have a story that is very similar. When I was in 4th grade our teacher had us sit at our desks in alphabetical order by last name. The boy I sat behind (we'll call him James) was constantly getting in trouble for having his hands down his pants. He would pull them out and the teacher would just go on with class. I started to notice that he always made it a point to have his hands down his pants before the teacher would pass out papers. He would pull his hands out of his pants, grab the stack of papers, and then pass them back to me where I would grab a tiny sliver of the corner and lay it on my desk. The teacher never once made him get up and go wash his hands when she would catch him. :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
