OK,

So anyways, I'm at a restaurant with a coworker and we're joking and talking and shit about how I'm trying to stick to this vegan thing.

Anyways, I look over about 5 tables down and some dude drops his chopsticks, and then reaches over, picks them back up, and proceeds to use them.

I thought I was about to have a heart attack.

My coworker (for those of you in Wales, you can substitute that word with 'mate' or employee or whatever ) says to me, "Don't worry - it was only for 2 seconds. The 2 second rule applies"

I was like , "I thought it only applies at home???!!!!"




So does the 2 second rule apply only at home? Or everywhere?
Or at friend's houses and not restaurants?

I mean, I have a zero second rule--NOTHING get's placed back in my mouth if it's been on the floor. (waiting for your lame ass jokes).

You must be fun at a food fight.

It depends on if she just fell because she is tipsy or actually passes out. If she passed out I would be laughing too hard to pick her up within 2 seconds.

what a freaking

I've always heard it as the 5 second rule.



Or 10 seconds, if it's something really tasty.

fuck that, how about the "zero second/waiter get me another pair" rule.

In general, once it touches the floor it's done.

Of course, I've dropped cigarettes before and picked them back up. But I suppose that's a dirty disgusting thing anyway.

oh, well if it's a utensil, then no way. might as well just ask for another. you're putting that into your mouth repeatedly, and it's not like there aren't more.





(although i don't know why I feel differently about food. yeah, you only put it in your mouth once, but then it STAYS inside you )

If you're hair is wet, I doubt floor funk will be any more offensive.

I think I'm going to be sick.

people who don't have a zero-second rule should be shot, basically. ESPECIALLY in a public place.

it doesn't have to be

Eww. I'm a germaphobe, so once it hits the floor, I'm done



YUCK! This just reminded me of the time that I threw out the crust from my pizza and my ex-boyfriend straight up picked it out and ate it! He said it was ok 'cause it was right at the top and it had only been there for a couple of seconds

I'm guessing every single person on here has had 1) a penis in their mouth, 2) their tongue in a vagina, or 3) their tongue in a rectum.



and you're going to get grossed out by eating food on the floor?
