Changing liquidy shitty diapers at a restaurant table explodes and destroys any and all polite etiquette.

Does a shitty diaper really look out of place in Olive Garden?

My brother's sister in law did this at a mostly empty restaurant & I was still embarrassed.  Even worse, the kid had taken a crap.  He was a little shit to begin with, and this didn't make things better.

I had to say something about it, because I was still eating & it killed my appetite.  And of course I ended up being the jerk, because everyone else was too afraid to say anything.

This is the sister of your brother's wife, and not your wife, right?  I sure hope so.  :D

Pull out a pistol and shoot her down.

Nah. Club her to death with the baby.

Anyway, I would have probably left the restaurant, telling them they have a health and safety inspection coming.

This is the equivalent of someone taking a dump on their seat, because they are too lazy to get to the toilet.

I'm not defending the mom in the OP, but taking a dump on your seat and changing a diaper on a table, is not quite the same. Wouldn't you think...?  :rolleyes:

I'm beginning to understand why people here say that you fail in making analogies...

Talk to the manager, ask him/her to make it right.

Vomit.

Why not? Both involve relieving yourself of fecal matter in a place emphatically not destined for that purpose, while being too lazy to go to proper facilities to do so, that are readily available.

Well, why don't you try to take a dump on a seat in a restaurant and see if people will react differently then in the story in the OP (or in similar stories in this thread)?

I'm very curious about the results...  :P

For a Marty analogy it's not a bad one.
