that was… disturbing.

I just remembered something I saw the other day that completely grossed me out.

I was waiting to pick up an order of hot wings at the local pizza & wing joint, watching the Suns game on the television.  A trio of patrons came in, two ladies and a man.  The man ordered a pitcher of beer and carried it to the booth where the ladies were sitting, off to my right hand side.

As I watched the Suns game, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the man reach for the shaker jar of parmesan cheese.  Keep in mind, they only had beer at their table, no pizza or any other food yet.

I watched, from the corner of my eye, as he unscrewed the top off of the shaker jar of cheese.

And picked up a fork.

And put the fork into the shaker jar, and scooped out some cheese.  And ate it.

He then screwed the cap back on the shaker jar, putting the fork down.

Not two seconds later, he unscrewed the lid again.  Picked up the same fork.
Used it to scoop out another forkful of cheese.  And ate it.  Put the lid back on the jar, and set the fork down.

All the while, he is chatting with the ladies sitting across from him.

When I saw him do it the first time, I thought he was weird.  When he went for a second scoop, I shuddered.  He used the same fork!  eewww!!

Then he did it, again.  Unscrewed the lid, dipped the fork into the cheese, brought up a scoop full and ate it.  Although this time he didn’t screw the lid back on, he just went straight for dipping the fork, AGAIN!!!.

My order of wings was ready, and I left the place hoping to all that is holy that the owners saw what he was doing and would dump the entire jar out after he left (assuming he didn’t proceed to eat the whole thing, which was about half full).  And then run the jar through their dishwasher.

We’ve never dined in there, always have picked it up & taken the food home.  At this rate, I don’t think I’ll ever dine in there, on the offchance that they never dumped the cheese (if he left any) out after he left.

*shudder*  That deserves a whole body shudder.  Yuck!!
