Something you don't see everyday

[Gunfighter14e2]

Stopped by,... JACKS,... a southern burger chain, while out this am.
While eating & scanning the place I see the cleaning lady approx 80yo, drop a complete package of cup lids which broke open & they all went rolling everywhere. They no more than hit the floor and two young boys approx 8&10 yo eating with their parents jumped up, and was picking them up before the cleaning lady even was able to bend over. Needless to say, the place erupted for that family. Maybe there is hope.

What shitholes do people live in where this is a big deal?

99% of most major cities

I nearly got into a fist fight a few days ago after some college age male took an old ladies chair when she went to the restroom ans refused to give it it back when her ancient husband asked them to return it. We would have come to blows had a cop not intervened.

Proper manners, etiquette , and acts of kindness and decency have pretty much disappeared in today's society. Most people won't do anything for someone else that doesn't directly benefit them. The world we live in today.

I see people do nice shit all the time, you fags need to get out more.

Everyone go home and die, couple old guys gave up on society as a whole because they live with a bunch of assholes

The title of this thread made me think it was gonna be a thread about @Lowlight being tall enough to ride roller coasters.

I once stopped to help a lady change a flat tire in Austin texas on a busy highway , she was evidently scared to death of me , would only roll her window down about a inch to speak to me , I changed the tire and sent her on her way , she did try to pay me 10 $ through that 1 inch hole of a window , I wouldn't take it told her that I would hope someone would help my mom or sister in the same situation. Another story about my trying to help a damsel in distress didn't turn out so well , one night leaving a party late at night after drinking and smoking too much in Austin ,I happened apon a young lady who had ran out of gas , she had a gas can a only had 5 dollars , I volunteered to go to the nearest gas station and return ,next thing I remember is waking up in Lampasas the next morning and finding a gas can and 5 dollars in the front seat of my truck , hopefully I've done enough good deeds since then that I don't burn in hell.

Wonderful story. Wonderful Kids. Unfortunately, I don't think the cup lids would pass the "3 second rule" so they probably can't use them anyway, but excellent effort.

In a lot of places the sense of community has broken down. Then decay and apathy set in.

Of course, not. They were just saving her the effort of cleaning up the mess she accidentally made. Very commendable. (And the 3 (or 5)-second rule is a myth. Contamination is instant upon contact). But then, I work in a very contaminated environment, and we ignore it all the time when you really want that last Cheez-It and it hits the floor.

So you watched all this from the optimal restaurant tactical seating location?

I know.... and I make the same exceptions you do for the same reasons when the "floor" is the carpet under my desk. NFW if it's any other floor, like my kitchen floor.

The five second rule doesn't apply if you have a three second dog.

Laughing, in fact yes.
Every JACKS I've been in are mostly laid out the same way. If you turn around at the counter & look there are booths in each far corners L & R that you can cover the whole place, both entrance doors, as well as the entrance & exit to the parking parking lot. If those (the best) are being used the tables each side of the fire places, are second best. Never been in one where all the tactical seating per-say was taken.
