Rat: Hey, Pig, do you want some of my burger?
Pig: I'd love some! How come you're being so generous?
One Minute Earlier
Rat: No reason.
Pig: Mmm... Tastes extra flavorful.
This sounds like some of the wait staff in this country. You’ve got waiters and waitress who are quite professional and would never do this type of thing. And then you’ve got the folks who could care less for the customers and would do it both out of spite and a twisted sense of pleasure. And don’t think they don’t exist.
Oh, Pig! I hope you don’t come down with some horrible disease!Have you no shame, Rat? This is your housemate, you know; he’ll be coughing and sneezing all over your shared dwelling. So, at least think of yourself if not of him! (I’ve always heard some folks denounce rats as bearers of disease; now I see it with my own eyes!)
Even worse is what I see when I go out for dinner. I can’t tell you how many times I watch men use the facilities, then proceed to not wash their hands. It’s going to happen one day. I’m going to look at said offender and ask him, in a loud voice, why he has decided not to wash his hands.
I actually did that last weekend. A hipster with blond dreadlocks came out of a stall and proceeded to walk to the door to leave and I asked if he was going to wash his hands. Then he said “Oh, sorry” and washed his hands. Moron.
Unless he has a urinary tract infection, pee is sterile. One could, in theory, wash and rinse in pee. I prefer soap and water, but I am strange that way…

No Reason.Coming from Rat, that’s the same as an alien saying We Come In Peace.
