Diners gone wild: Sex in the bathroom, pole dancing in the dining room
Um, okay, check out San Francisco Chronicle story headlined “Bay Area Diners’ behavior grabs attention” and see whether it grabs your attention, too.
Pole dancing “in the middle of the dining room?” The poor restaurant owner whose “bathroom sink gets ripped out of the wall by folks who couldn’t make it home or to a hotel?”
Are these kinds of restaurant activities unique to the San Francisco Bay area, or do restaurant owners here in the Heartland of America have to put up with similar shenanigans from Diners Gone Wild?
And an even more important question: Can I continue to consider myself a passionate person even if I’ve never broken a bathroom sink?

As a former restaurant owner, let me tell you that I have seen it all! I would like to remind you about the innocent children and parents.

Check it out! This story is why people stop buying newspapers. With all that important in todays world to write about and you waste part of a tree printing this crap? Maybe southwestern Ohio will get real lucky and you’ll have to fold like those classic old papers did out west. Difference here being there’s nothing classic or classy about you guys and this kind of drivel you expect us to read. Do you feel me here?

IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS A PUBLIC PLACE SO I SAY WE ALL GET IT ON IN “PUBLIC”

It has nothing to do with knowing how to have fun. We have laws in place for a reason. You’re welcome to get as freaky as you like at home - tear the place apart, do whatever you like. But that kind of behavior has no place in public areas where children could be exposed to it.People should be able to walk around in public without worrying about having to run up on 2 adults acting like stupid teenagers. If that kind of behavior is okay, then it should be okay for a grown man to pleasure himself in public, too, right?

I agree with NoRules…you have to try it. Don’t be scared to have a little fun. Who cares what anyone else thinks.I’m sure everyone complaining isn’t happy with that area of their life….

Don’t knock the public sex thing until you try it. I’m not saying that everyone needs to watch, but you and your wife/husband can spice things up a bit by making love in a discreet but public place.

Ok, if you read the linked article, the blurb above, written by Mark Fisher, makes a little more sense and poses some interesting issues. However, you didn’t do a very good job at illustrating what the purpose of this article is, Mr. Fisher.

This has zero to do with the sate of California as much as what it says about our society. Spoiled rotten me-me-me people who are only concerned about what they want and my favorite “you don’t know how I “feel” are the bane of our existence. It would never dawn on me to entertain the thought to do any of these things. Contrary to popular opinion there IS certain conduct that is and should be expected of adults in public. These people desperately need to grow the hell up!

Really, Mr. Fisher. Are you joining the holier-than-thous club a few of your fellow columnists seem to front? Stick to reviews, please.

They should cut out the Whole state of California and push it out in the Pacific Ocean and sink it. It is a state of Freaks.nothing but a embarrassment to the USA.
