How lazy/disgusting can you get?

Well, it depends: which unit did you come from?

On my way down to work today, some mother was cleaning up her daughter who was squatting by the little (very little) drainage run-off in the corridor. My first thought was: what the hell? Is the kid crapping out in the corridor?

Then, the mother wiped the mouth of the child and the smell of bile reached me.

Ah. A puking thing. Not so bad.

Which brings me to my question(s): it's the 9th floor of a block of flats where there are only three units on the common corridor. Each unit is about fifteen metres across. And the closest unit was barely two metres from where the mom and daughter. So, why, pray tell, couldn't the mother bring the daughter back into the flat, which is anywhere from two to twenty metres away for the kid to do what she needs to do, instead of letting her spew within four metres of a lift landing? Also, not to mention the mess that the cleaners will have to deal with.

What the hell's on your mind, woman?

You know it's the school holidays when the kids selling ice cream come a'calling door-to-door. Nothing's changed since the last time I encountered them (or rather, others like them): still as bloody rude as before. And obviously no one's taught them the proper way to use the door bell still.

With an attitude and behaviour like that?

No sale.
