What people wear in McDonald's

[Jon Miller]

A man hit on me once in a McDonald's urinal. There's only two things a grown man can do in that situation, bend over or commit a hate crime. It's like being late in the fourth quarter and having to go for an onside conversion when your kicker panics and drowns in his own stool, leaving you with a five yard penalty and the hardest decision you'll ever have to make as a coach. It's raining, your balls are out, everyone's looking at you. A tour in Nam can't prepare a naked man for that kind of pressure. I decided to do what a Bill Belichick or a Wynton Marsalis would do and pulled out my cell camera (not code for penis) and told him I always wanted to prove to YouTube I could kick a man's ass without my pants on. He hesitated, like the opposing team's coach when he needs to decide whether it's going to be a squib or an actual onside, before making the apparently easy decision to jizz all over my clothes. It was then I decided to never use a public restroom again.

You take off your pants when you use a urinal?

I didn't want to hijack Wiglaf's thread but as long as people are using this forum for their one-off rants, I'll shoot.

I was eating at a McDonald's yesterday, Sunday at noon, in Little Rock. It was full of trashy people who looked like they'd just fallen out of their trailers, which is what you'd expect to see at any other time of the week.

But Sunday lunch people should be coming in wearing suits and dresses right? Church clothes. At least, that's how it was back home. Yes, families eating in Taco Bell wearing suits. I never really thought that might be a local thing only, but apparently so.

So I've come up with three hypotheses to explain this. You guys tell me which makes the most sense.

a) People in Little Rock are Godless heathens that don't go to church other than Christmas or Easter.
b) Churchgoers in Little Rock think they're too fancy to take their Sunday lunch at a fast food joint. I will admit, the thought of holy sacrament sharing space in your gut with a Big Mac does make me think twice now.
c) Churches in Little Rock have really lowered their standards and are welcoming fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ in their jorts and Hooters t-shirts now.

You guys need to tell me quick. I've been trying to find a way to tell them off since yesterday. None of the same people are even here anymore and I've missed my first day of classes.

Thanks

And I suspect you had to pass through the 20th Century to get there...

yeah.

You've lived in a small town with it's own culture. Going to McD in fancy clothes (in any day of the year) isn't mainstream at all.

I know, right? And yet for all the **** that flies down there, I haven't made any progress deciding if I would want "the real world" to be more or less like home. The past 36 hours the real world has included ****ty drivers, people who don't know how they look in public, and going back to locking doors, not to mention just returning to the grind.

I guess in a way I can be glad for the amount the rest of the world has progressed if I could've pretty much just posted "church clothes" and gotten a barrel of laughs, but I think you guys are missing out on more than I was.

Your hometown might have very well had a better culture than the rest of the world we live in. That doesn't change the fact that it has a distinctive culture while we live in mainstream.

No need to get bitter, in a free society people decide what sort of culture they want to create and support. If your hometown has a superior culture, then it's populated by better people.

Quick question:

If Christ had walked into that McDonald's last Sunday, would He have sat down with you or with the trailer trash? I haven't been to a Sunday service in nearly 30 years, but even I know the answer to that one...

[MOBIUS]

Frankly, visiting a MacDonald's, you get what you deserve...

[b etor]

Suits and dresses? They don't let women wearing pants in?

pants on women are scandalous. don't you know?

Why would Christ hang out with the people who already accept and practice his teachings?

Church clothes?



Actually, church?



Welcome to the real world.

EDIT: Reading on, i must agree with the OP, that when you come from one of the few places that could be called ´socialy healthy´ still, to a place that is just like the rest of the world has come to be, the experience leaves you with a desire for ´home sweet home´. It´s the feeling i always have, when i go reading meters in trashy Gelsenkirchen, were hotel-managers greet you wearing arm-less underwear tops adorned with (probably fake-)gold chains, serve you stale bread each morning and fill-up yesterdays milk without dumping the old one.

People go to McD wearing the clothes they fell out of bed with, I have NEVER seen anyone dress up to go to McD...

... and I haven't seen this thing you call "church clothes" either. People wear in church what they wear any other day of the week (well, unless there's something special like a funeral, etc). The only place I have ever seen "church clothes" was in The Simpsons

I believe I have never seen anyone wearing suits in a McD restaurant

Hmmm... I find it weird that people don't know what mrmitchell is taking about. Never heard of "Sunday's Best"? If they were going to McD's after church, they wouldn't be wearing their regular stuff... unless they don't dress up for church... which is different.

Never heard about "Sundays best"...
And people who goes to church doesn't go to McDs. McD is a place where young people go, church is a place where old people go

[Ben Kenobi]

I've seen it quite often on Sundays.

It's a small town thing. Little Rock is 'too big'.

People do things weird in your area.
