A little 2 or 3 year old girl drop her gummy bears on the floor. Now I would have left them there if it were my little girl, but the mother proceeded to pick them up off the bare floor and give them back to her kid for her to eat. YUCK. Dont know if she did it to shut her little girl up or what(she began crying loud as hell when she dropped her candy) but i thought that was kind of gross.

I guess there is a difference between dropping it on your floor at home and eating it and dropping it at McDonalds and eating it. Besides if it has been snowing or raining outside floors are plain disgusting.

Was she supposed to leave the wounded bears behind, after falling 5 feet to the ground? Surely she rushed them to the hospital immediatly, I would hope you would do the same.

Unless you are one of those people whose household wears their shoes inside the house.....I never understood why people can stand doing that. :disgust:

the number of seconds to the "rule" can vary depending the condition of the floor. never less than 3 seconds, never more than 10

I donno abouit your minimum, there are a few floors that I would NEVER eat anything off of and also my max on the floor time is more like 1-2 minutes depending on coniditions not 10 seconds.

Dang, I'd buy my little daughter a new pack of gummy bears... I wouldn't want my kids to get sick from shoe-sole germs. :p

nasty job. way to hard for the pay.

Because most of us don't live in museums.
And you can easily clean things.
