Good points all.
Mind you, I share the sense of squick at finding a Taco Wrapper in the loo. Because - ew.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Is it so difficult to plan ahead and potty before buying food. Or have someone else in your group hold the food while you make that mad dash?
As for the taco wrapper - hopefully the person was just emptying a pocket or something. Ummmm....yeah.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
See, this is why I don't go to movies by myself.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I take my food to the bathroom, but then all I have to do is set it on the shelf-thing above the urinals....

Ann, that's a ferret.
I think I'm pushing the line of acceptability if I give my order, then dash off to run a 2-second errand while the employees prepare my order. Even if I'm back before my order is ready. "Could you keep an eye on this" is acceptable only for an unforeseen (preferably unforeseeable) dire emergency, and I don't feel I have room to complain if my order isn't there when I get back.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
The only food I ever get at the movies (Gummi bears or twizlers) fit in my purse just fine if I'm at the movies by myself (which is pretty rare since I rarely ever go out to the movies).
Can I go back on Christmas vacation now?

Our wings are not tired.
I don't think I have taken food into a restroom. Then again, I don't recall being out and about by myself with both the need for food and a restroom break, so it hasn't been an issue.
My head is all explody. I've been trying to fix work stuff all day with no luck at all and I know DH is overburdened and I don't want to add to his list. And I don't know anyone else that understands this stuff and the internet offers no help. Blah. Stress.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
From waaaaaay up:
I guess I'd have to find some rules or guidelines or definition of a complaint.
for example - it is not a complaint to say 'ow" when you burn your finger but maybe giving long explanations about what happened and why - might be a disguised complaint
This was THE biggest thing my mom and I discussed over the trip. My G'ma is the kind of person who wants to be in control, but doesn't feel comfortable making decisions, so she lets others make decisions and then complains about everything. Mom and I are trying very hard not to be that kind of person.
As for the having employees watch my food or drink - I've spent way too much time in bars to ever be comfortable with that. I'll take my drink into the rest room before I'll let it sit out.

This is me. Or I construct an elaborate tower on top of the glass.
ETA: I'm going to start taking pictures of those little mini sculptures and do a flickr stream of them.
