I wouldn't, but a coworker of mine just did today. I had accidentally dropped a piece of ice cream cake on the floor, and she gulped it down like nothing had ever happened.

Do you eat food if you or someone else drops it on the floor, or do you just throw it away?

5 second rule?

Naw I toss it.

that's disturbing.....maybe she was very hungry.

Never I'm too much of a germ freak for that now.

Sweeny79 said:

Me too. I could not believe it when my coworker ate the food off the floor like it was nothing. I wanted to ask her, "Are you NUTS? Think of all the germs that are now on that piece of ice cream cake that fell on the dirty floor." Yuck, just the mere thought of eating something off the floor makes me want to puke.

It depends on the food and the floor. Most often no, but if it's my own house, clean floor and isn't something the consistency of pudding, then sometimes, yeah.

unlucky7 said:

Agreed, it was disturbing. She was either very hungry or just wanted it so bad that it didn't matter.

AnckSuNamun said:

Same here.

psychodelicide said:

yeah...since it was a work environment and she didn't care if you saw her.

CarrieMpls said:

True, if it's your own house, you do have a different feeling about eating food that's been on the floor than you do about food that's been on someone else's floor.

psychodelicide said:

eww....and then it was ice cream of all things. It easily picks up the slightest bit of dirt.

unlucky7 said:

Also it was after hours (most people were gone already), so she probably didn't care if my other coworker and I saw her do it.

AnckSuNamun said:

I know!!!! I wanted to ask her what the hell she was thinking eating it, but I kept my mouth shut.

Depends on how delicious a bite it is and how hungry I am

Hey Supa!

psychodelicide said:

true story.....


One time in my old apartment, I was working these crazy ass hours and I had just taken the bus an hour and half home. I was tired as hell but I wanted to treat myself I bought some shrimp and pasta and made scampi. Went through all the trouble to prepare it and when I went to sit down to eat, one of my cats got caught up in my feet and the whole plate fell on the floor. On top of being totally tired as hell and that long ass bus ride, I was also broke and I was so pissed but I ate the shrimp off the top of the pile of pasta. Technically I didn't eat it straight off the floor but some people wouldn't have even eaten those shrimp I worked hard and slaved and I was gonna have my shrimp damnit!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I don't blame you for eating it, shrimp and pasta is too good to waste. I hate it when your cat walks right in front of you, sometimes it seems like they do it on purpose just to get your attention. My one cat does that all the time.

One time I was attending a party at my girlfriend's mother's house and went into the kitchen where I saw at the top of the garbage can a perfectly good chocolate eclair with only one bite out of it. I thought that very wasteful, throwing away an almost perfectly good eclair like that, and it still looked delicious otherwise, and so I retrieved it from the trash can and proceeded to eat it.

However, unbeknownst to me, my girlfriend's mother saw me do this and thought me disgusting, and my girlfriend and I didn't stay together long after that incident.

I dont concur

WillyWonka said:

Sorry to hear that it didn't work out.

I have done this and will probably do it again in life. It really depends on whose/what floor it has fallen on to.

Mazurack said:

CarrieMpls said the same thing.

psychodelicide said:

I didn't read any responses. Oops!

I agree with what CarrieMpls said!

psychodelicide said:

True this

psychodelicide said:

You are always so sweet. But I was only joking. That scenario was from an episode of Seinfeld where George did such a thing.

WillyWonka said:

You told me it was from mad about you

Mazurack said:

That's okay, no harm done.

WillyWonka said:

That sounds like something from a Seinfeld episode.

psychodelicide said:

Originally she said "Mad about You"!

I haven't done that since I was a kid and "Kissed it up to God" first.
