freakin hygienic!
the malls in the philippines are simply the place to be when you wanna kill time and get away from all of the pollution in the streets. its a good way to get away from the smoke from smoke belching jeepneys, guys pissing in every wall corner and electric posts, as well as all of the garbage in the streets, drainage and rivers…. not to mention its contents of crap….. the malls are clean!…. atleast i thought so…..
i dropped by SM for a couple of minutes before going home…… i remembered seeing some glasses that really didn’t look clean to me…. it was a simple glass, clear one in fact… but lookin at it sitting there near the water dispenser, it didn’t look quite clear to me…. looked cloudy actually… and believe me, i was looking at the CLEAN glasses…. dang…..
so i figured, that wouldn’t be so bad since no idiot (unless he’s really really broke and had no money to buy a drink) would make use of those glasses…. of course i was wrong, again….hehehe
sigh….
but that’s not what really blew my mind….. the thing that actually made me wanna puke was at the comfort room…. no it wasn’t the smell….. it stunk but it wasn’t the smell that turned me off…
hmmm…. let me start off with what the comfort room looked like…. hmm… from the way i last remember it looked clean (i’ll get to the smell later)…. the urinals were clean, there were sanitary flushes and the sink wasn’t so bad either….
at that time, my face was really oily and was starting to itch so i decided to go for my regular wash your face routine……. there i was scrubbing away, when i heard this guy talking to his kid
man: o anak, tangalin ko muna damit mo ah para mahugasan kita (ok son, i’ll just take your clothes off so i could wash you up)
kid: ok
man: ang baho mo anak (you stink son). come up here and let me wash you
in case you still don’t get where the smell came from, the man’s son just took a crap…. anyways, there i was washing my face, making a good foam when this guy lifts his son up, makes the kid sit and bend over right at the edge of the sink and then he starts washing the kid’s ass! geez…. i moved out of the way and you could just imagine the puzzled and yet gradually getting angry look on my face!…
but that’s not the end of it…. as luck would have it, the knob to turn on the water from the tap was a push knob….. so the guy had to push it with one hand to let the water flow…. and so he did… unfortunately for the next users of the sink, namely half a dozen other guys lined up behind him, the man used the exact same hand to push the knob and wipe the crap clean off his son’s ass! and he did the cycle about hmm…. 3, 5 times?! then, i thought (actually, wished) that he’d do something about coz he was motioning to get some liquid soap…. turns out…. there wasn’t any………………. so the man repeated the cycle again for like 2 times and then, just when you thought that was enough, he flicks his hand a couple of times to get rid of most of the water from it…….. and where did the droplets go? God knows…. lucky for me i had my back turned and i was just observing from the mirror…………. mother of God……….
sigh………
that really sucked…. and to think that if ever any of his droplets got into someone’s eye or mouth, that guy could end up with parasites! man…………….. i couldn’t help but think what microbes could be hovering in those push knobs….. hmm…. now i can’t even be sure if the push knobs of the other sinks were cleaner……. damn……………
