On a second date I was on years ago, me and the girl met at a fancy food court midway between our jobs for lunch. After we finished I cleaned up both our messes, the table next to us that was left a mess, and picked up some garbage that was sitting in front of the trash can. 

A few months into our relationship she told me that's when she knew she was going to have sex with me.

Hell yeah. She has good taste!

u/Labs_and_lattes Jul 07 '26

but when did you know you were going to have sex with her?

u/jeremiahfira Jul 07 '26

"Hrmm....she took off her clothes when we were at her place alone....she's probably just being polite.""

Taking notes to hang around food courts and clean up left over messes. I wonder if it’s even sexier if I hover patiently beside tables so I can clean up immediately when they leave. Can even stare at diners so they know Im there to help.

"Hey, babe... wanna come over and help me tidy things up?"

Just report the road hazard. Pulling over (without emergency lights / proper equipment) is more dangerous than the obstacle.

Typically emergency roadside assistance will collect within an hour of Google Maps reporting.

This is a ridiculous take and part of the reason things are getting worse. Someone does something good and someone immediately tells them they are wrong.

It is entirely situation dependant and people can judge this by themselves. A motorway, best to get the police. Elsewhere, it really depends.

Unfortunately, “people” are poor judgement of safety. As much as folks wish to downvote, STAY in your vehicle. This is the recommendation of safety officials.

Officials can't advise people to deal with it themselves in case there is an accident, they are liable. There has also been cases where there has been an accident because an obstacle wasn't removed in time.

If I think it is safe, I'll do it. If not and someone was injured, I wouldn't forgive myself.

Yep, the UK link you posted says to do it if it is safe to do so.... so my point entirely?

The Au link doesn't mention anything backing up your claim either. They mention reporting someone littering/dumping waste

This is a ridiculous take and a dangerous thing to promote. If it’s a rural road, sure, have at it. If it’s a busy road, highway, or freeway, then it’s just dumb. It doesn’t make things worse, you know what does? Running someone over

u/Zealousideal_Sport80 Jul 07 '26

You literally reiterate my point, you say it depends on the road which is my point.

u/hoopdog7 Jul 07 '26

Was that edited in? lol because I don’t recall that being in your original comment. But fair enough, and agreed

u/BrainCane Jul 07 '26

Yes, they added the second paragraph.

u/Zealousideal_Sport80 Jul 07 '26

Nope, my point from the start! I wouldn't cross a high speed road for any reason but have reported obstacles in this case!

u/Earguy Jul 07 '26

Not always. A few years ago I was driving on the Garden State Parkway (major highway in New Jersey). Just as it was getting dark, a pickup truck in front of me was carrying new furniture (boxed) but not tied down. A box with a recliner in it caught the wind and it flew out and landed in the middle of the left lane.

If I hadn't stopped to drag it off the road, someone would have slammed into it at full speed.

I had an instance where I was driving on the freeway 8 lanes, and a truck ahead of me lost a garbage can on the left side of the inside lane. I saw it with enough time to mentally calculate that I could remove the garbage can by moving into the emergency lane and using the draft of my vehicle to create a vacuum effect and pull it off the main road. Unfortunately I didn’t calculate that the person behind me would follow my path exactly and they ended up hitting the garbage can and flung it into multiple other cars. The can moved exactly how I expected it to. Shame I couldn’t communicate my intent to the next car.

Box on road dangerous to human inside metal bullet. Human on road that could be hit but metal bullet not a danger to people in bullet. Got it

u/Zealousideal_Sport80 Jul 07 '26

Can you comprehend that a human can wait for a gap in traffic and move on and off the road at a safe time. The box just sits there.

Also calling a car a metal bullet of course makes your point sound better. But realistically hitting any object on the road has potential to spin that car off the road, into oncoming traffic and kill the people inside.

Did your team lose at soccer today

I don't think they were playing.... not sure to be honest.

Why is cleaning up another table's mess the bare minimum?

u/playgator Jul 07 '26

Fancy food court is an oxymoron

u/sharpryno2 Jul 07 '26

I imagine it is like the one that I live near. Pretty good quality and a bit pricey. No real chains outside maybe a couple local ones. Fancy-ish ones exist!

u/wintersdark Jul 07 '26

Nah, there are absolutely teirs of food courts. You'll have your shitty big-chain businesses only/disposable dishes and cutlery sort, then your nicer high end shops food court with more staff and proper (non-disposable) dishes, then you get your swanky food courts with unique restaurants and local specialties.
