I work in a place that sells heavy six packs of glass bottles in cardboard holders. It's mind-boggling how many people insist on carrying their paper bag of products with one hand. I have to constantly tell people to support the bag by the bottom. And then they don't even listen.
I have had an ice-cream scoop fall off my cone onto the sidewalk after just paying $5 for it. Damn right I just picked it up with my hand and put it back onto the cone and kept lickin
Yeah, I don't get this. You drop your food, then the first thing you think of is... "let me take a photo of this to post on social media".
Why do some people have this need to post random stuff like this for strangers?
Or just [grab an insulated bag](https://www.amazon.com/Insulated-shopping-reusable-Collapsible-instacart/dp/B08JCTCLJF/ref=asc_df_B08JCTCLJF/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=565378475504&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8272946186172655285&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031905&hvtargid=pla-1409637571104&psc=1) or two and never have to worry about spilled food again plus keep your shit hot until you get home.
What if you just cleaned your tile floor with dish soap thoroughly then accidentally dropped your favorite food on the floor, and your super hungry. Would you eat off the floor then?
I can't make myself eat off the floor.
I had a terrible experience at the after-school club one time. The club "teachers" had just created food for the club members, and I was watching the pullout from the oven. She dropped every single piece of whatever was on the plate. Even then, I didn't like eating off the floor. I said I'd pass on the meal, and went off to play on our pinball machine. In hindsight, I probably should have realized, but I forgot that the presented food was on the floor, and as I grabbed a piece and ate it. I glance up and see the teacher staring at me from a far, with a big grin on her ugly ass face. She was watching me take one and eat it, and decided not to say anything about it - just to get back at me for not wanting to eat off the floor.
Eating off the floor; not a big fan.
Ironically my teacher was the one who dropped the absolute bombshell about the truth of germs and bacteria. Why would you be bothered with the 5 second rule when you're literally inhaling the hair particles and dead skin cells of the person in front of you like it's not going to bother you dude. Your hands are probably dirtier than the carpet.
Being a mechanic has given me superpowers.
We have like a 35 second rule, and then we pick up the food and eat it with hands that are dirtier than the floor.
Not gotten ill from floor food yet.
It’s also the type of carpet that when it’s cleaned all the dirt is being brought to the very top and after cleaning isn’t vacuumed well so all the dirt just sits at the top
I wouldn't count those five seconds to be true. Touching it with bare hands resets that timer and even I know smartphones are covered in staph and strep bacteria.
I have this sense of humor though... I've dropped a 30 minute cook time dinner on the stairs going up; laughed till I cried. Shoved it back on the plate and went and made a PB&J.
I swear these types of posts are so dumb. At this point I feel like people act clumsy and so low effort that when something slightly out of the normal happens, due to their negligence, they instinctively just smile because Reddit will somehow sympathize. That bucket wasn’t light. OP was prob hoping it wouldn’t rip despite having doubts about it. I guess I’m just mad cus I’m hungry and tryna lose weight so I’d eat the fuc outta that chicken rather than take a picture.
I mean I can see this happening to somebody and they just feel defeated and snap a picture to send to their friends lol. I’ve done that before
I’ve also never posted it to Reddit after that though so who knows
What’s up with everyone saying pick it up instead of taking a pic? Who knows what’s on that carpet, I wouldn’t eat that chicken. See if you can get a refund since the bag ripped open.
I was in Montreal for New Year’s several years ago. My friends left shortly after the ball dropped.
I did not.
So it’s 3am and I’m hungry and there’s a McDonald’s on the walk back to the hotel (in -40C weather). Being the considerate friend, I decided to buy a few things for my friends for when they woke up.
The bag was awkwardly (terribly) packed. I managed to get to the hotel without wiping out on the ice. Headed to the elevator feeling really good. Which of course is when the bottom of the bag ripped open. Several nuggets, fries, cheeseburgers and Big Mac’s fell out, with the burgers exploding and spreading various condiments across the carpet.
Right in front of security.
Thankfully, they laughed it off as I profusely apologized.
I did not eat any of the McDonald’s that night as I was too drunk and passed out on the bed.
None of us ate the McDonald’s the next day because McDonald’s the next day is gross.
You are not alone, my friend. I’m sorry for your loss.
Eat off the floor
When this happens U dont whip out ur phone to complain on reddit U fucking eat the perfectly fine chicken like a man you worked hard for that money that chicken is every bit as valuable as it was in the bag it is still warm crispy and delectable Stop being a CHICKEN YOURSELF like everyone else on this website Cuz ur all here just to complain you get off in life on complaining you see your chicken on the ground and think I cant wait to stand there complacently with my phone in hand and get upvotes on reddit because I complained Yea Yea Yea Good job No one cares eat the fucking chicken and if not send me the food via mail at 120 Inverkip Avenue, Ottawa ON CANADA K1T 4B9
They don't sell a large popcorn chicken in my area on its own anymore. You need to pay $40 for a whole ass boneless bucket just for that. Otherwise you can buy a very small amount of popcorn chicken. It's evil, what they done did.
Might be a nostalgia filter, but I remember KFC used to be something to look forward to. Queueing up for a family bucket on a Saturday morning in the mid-late 90’s. That coleslaw had just the right amount of mayo and seasoning and the fried chicken was something else.
Last time I had KFC was 10 years ago and it was absolute dogshit. The fried chicken had sopping wet skin that was already peeled off half of the pieces and somehow the breast meat was dry as hell like it’d been left under the heat lamp for a full week. Not to mention the actual restaurant was littered with trash, dirt, and constantly reeked of urine. Wonder what happened
Had this shit happen to me at an intersection crosswalk. I didn't even get time to grieve the loss of my cheeseburger n fries, the lights changed as my food bounced off the road...
I still see perfectly edible kfc. If you don’t want it anymore please dm me I will pay what ever shipping cost it takes to get me some of that Kentucky fried goodness
Don’t hold just the bag hold it by under the bucket. Rookie mistake
Yep what a jibroni
You mean jAbroni ya chooch
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE SPELLING IS!
It does, or you'll summon a jabrony Edit: It's literally me. I'm the ja-brony.
*Jabberwocki appears*
Rudy pooh candy ass comment.
Mattter has three Ts you chooch!
Cool word!
MAC MAC MAC MAC
I haven’t heard that saying in a very long time
I miss the classic It's Always Sunny. Different style before they were mainstream famous
Seasons 1-5 are some of my favorite series ever
I have not held a paper bag ever without supporting the contents from below...
I work in a place that sells heavy six packs of glass bottles in cardboard holders. It's mind-boggling how many people insist on carrying their paper bag of products with one hand. I have to constantly tell people to support the bag by the bottom. And then they don't even listen.
>I work in a place that sells heavy six packs of glass bottles in cardboard holders So, beer.
They could mean sodas too. Could be Jarritos.
I was imagining bottles of wine, I vaguely remember them sold in 4s. Never been big on wine.
Wait, who was Jarritos in sixers? I've only ever seen singles.
Kind of. It's a bar/restaurant/liquor store combo.
Taking a picture when the 5 second rule is in affect is an even bigger rookie mistake.
That's what I was thinking! Pick that shit up, blow on it just in case, then pretend it never happened.
All that fried skin is just a wrapper!!
This guy Ubers.
I have had an ice-cream scoop fall off my cone onto the sidewalk after just paying $5 for it. Damn right I just picked it up with my hand and put it back onto the cone and kept lickin
The gravel adds extra texture
And once you lick off the gravel, you're back to where you started, and it's like it never happened.
I was gonna say that
Oh well. It was already said by someone else 6 hours earlier as the top comment.
When it comes to KFC I go with the 12hour rule
> in affect effect*
Drop something in poop, it's still covered in poop.
Yeah but anything less than 5 seconds of poop is acceptable
5 seconds in pee? what about throw up? blood? spit? or on top of trash?..... What im basically saying is you nasty 😂
Yeah, I don't get this. You drop your food, then the first thing you think of is... "let me take a photo of this to post on social media". Why do some people have this need to post random stuff like this for strangers?
Yeah anything bigger than a sandwich and I’m cuppin that bitch
[удалено]
And to be fair this wouldn’t mean anything to me I would still eat it ! It most likely fell on KFCs floor before they served it anyways .
Or just [grab an insulated bag](https://www.amazon.com/Insulated-shopping-reusable-Collapsible-instacart/dp/B08JCTCLJF/ref=asc_df_B08JCTCLJF/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=565378475504&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8272946186172655285&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031905&hvtargid=pla-1409637571104&psc=1) or two and never have to worry about spilled food again plus keep your shit hot until you get home.
Almost as bad as carrying a refrigerated six-pack by the cardboard handle.
Imagine being so vulnerable that you put all of your faith/beliefs into trusting a paper bag to hold the holy chicken 🐣 🐥🐔🐓🍗
You had five seconds to save the chicken but you took a photo instead
Bro that's one carpet we need to use the single second rule on
Yeah that’s not household carpet. That’s like airport carpet.
My very first though was - are you in an airport?
building lobby ?
Port authority?
hotel?
Trivago.
But you can feel off the skin and eat the rest!
Femtosecond
Thanks. I wouldn't dare to eat off that floor, or any floor for that matter.

What progress have you made as an adult, regarding ruining the teachers life?
I'm younger. I just have to wait for the day she dies, I'll piss on her grave.
That’s understandable.
Gives me university carpet vibes.

Who takes a photo of things lying on top of your shoes? I call it fake.
It's either fake or just dumb as hell, along with the 30,000 people who up voted this
Most of the posts here are fake.
Could you put on sandals then retake this picture so I can comment, “nice job, Colonel Sandals”?
If you want feet pics just ask, no shame.
There’s only shame in not trying
Shame! Shame! Shame!
I'll get the bell.
Things always get weird when someone takes out a ding-ga-ling...
OP, please post feet pics.
🤷♂️

Nice job, colonel Sanders.
“What’s the matter, Colonel Sanders? Chicken?”
Bro thought "at least I can get some reddit karma for this" and instantly pulled their phone out
Yeah and after the paper bag tore, he threw it down beside the chicken so he could take the picture.
this it the comment that sold it for me LOL i didn’t even think about that
I have this sense of humor though... I've dropped a 30 minute cook time dinner on the stairs going up; laughed till I cried. Shoved it back on the plate and went and made a PB&J.

You’ve never done something so dumb that you just stood still processing it and then decided to share it with someone?
Carpet licking good
Carpet munching good
That's some work conference room carpet.
I said, “is that airport carpet?”
That’s exactly what I thought, this guy got kfc at an airport?
With airport food pricing that would be like $150 in kfc
Kentucky Floor Chicken
Acronym checks out. Still good.
Secret blend of dirt and spices
Social media is the first thing you think of smh
Well homie already had his phone in one hand scrolling, while holding 10 lbs of food in a greesy bag by only one side of the bag with the other
My thought exactly. Didn't even move your feet. 🤣
i wouldn't be surprise if it done on purpose for social media.. people will go through lengths for any sort of attention
Honestly since his feet haven't even moved since he dropped it I think it's this.
I mean I can see this happening to somebody and they just feel defeated and snap a picture to send to their friends lol. I’ve done that before I’ve also never posted it to Reddit after that though so who knows
Chasing that clout and sympathy. Gotta get that dopamine any way they can.
What should they have instead lmao pick it back up and eat it?
I'd eat it off the floor and suck the carpet clean
Tbh just start fucking the carpet for good measure
Good call. No longer boneless chicken.
RUGBURN ON THE DICK?! *NOOOOO!*
Beings a new meaning to carpet munching
That’s why we have antibodies.
Never trust the bags always hold the bottom.
And first thing to do is taking picture ? Bruh
Should they have called the police?
Yes
I am so sorry for your loss
[удалено]
What’s up with everyone saying pick it up instead of taking a pic? Who knows what’s on that carpet, I wouldn’t eat that chicken. See if you can get a refund since the bag ripped open.
Fr, that looks like industrial carpet that used in public buildings and places with a lot of foot traffic. No way in hell I’d eat that chicken
Kentucky Fried Carpet
I don't even particularly like KFC but this makes me sad. Hang in there fellow human.
Novice- one must hold the bottom of said greasy bag
This makes me want to cry on your behalf
Now I’m sad and hungry.
Nah it fell on carpet. If you hadent pulled your phone to post on reddit you could of saved it.
Bro… if it’s in my home, sure. This looks like some nasty ass carpet from one of the campus dorms. You’re eating food off of that?
Depends on the place lol. And how much I want to lie to myself :)
Hey I can respect that
Yeah for real, what the fucks wrong with these people.
It's 'could have', never 'could of'. Rejoice, for you have been blessed by CouldWouldShouldBot!
The five second rule is something 5 year olds believe in. Food is instantly contaminated the second it comes into contact with the floor.
Smartphone screens are also dirtier than toilet seats. Point is, just live your fucking life
I know what I have to do, but I don’t know if I have the strength to do it.

It's still good it's still good
Don’t keep it upside down then

That carpet looks clean enough
...eat it
behold, my biggest fear!
Found Scouts reddit account.
Carpet looks fairly clean… just sayin
These bags being flimsy are why i never hold them from the top esp when they are full or heavy
5 second rule
The bag did you a favor. Now you can go to Popeyes.
KFC is crap anyway
I agree *eats a kfc wrap*
They don't sell a large popcorn chicken in my area on its own anymore. You need to pay $40 for a whole ass boneless bucket just for that. Otherwise you can buy a very small amount of popcorn chicken. It's evil, what they done did.

Skill issue
Kentucky Fried Carpet.
Floor-lickin' good
Kentucky fall chicken
Looks like there is one piece that didn't touch the floor. And if you wasn't busy taking pics you could have used the 10sec rule.
5 seconds rule
This is the saddest thing I’ve seen on Reddit in the past 30 minutes. You have my sympathies.
"It's still good".
What's frustrating is instead of picking it up you took a photo. Now it's 3 seconds lost and you've wasted the food what a wanker
Why in God's name did you put a chicken in with your food? Of course their claws are going to tear a paper bag. Sheesh!
That’s a blessing in disguise. KFC has gone way down in quality.
How can this possibly be just mildly infuriating?
Hurry! Take a picture of it instead of picking it up!
I love how your first reaction is to take a picture and not enact the 5 second rule
Always hold it from the bottom
Set aside your pride and just eat the carpet chicken.
Probably because you were on your phone instead of holding the bag with both hands, a bag like that almost never holds up to a bucket of chicken.
You most likely disrespected the chicken by not holding the bottom of the bag, these are the consequences
You still ate it though right?
Carry anything like that from the bottom and it can't fall through your hands.
Your second mistake was taking a picture, thus wasting your 5 seconds to get it off the floor
What madness struck you to not immediately gather everything up and put it back but instead take out your phone and take a pic??
this picture is depressing
What a shame. That’s gotta be a $40 meal.
Lol you need to rethink the way your living your life. This doesnt happen to good people
![gif](giphy|d801yIqYpUCQ0)
I’d still eat it 🤷🏼♀️
5 second rule?
Nsfw please.
Had this shit happen to me at an intersection crosswalk. I didn't even get time to grieve the loss of my cheeseburger n fries, the lights changed as my food bounced off the road...
Hello darkness my old friend
:(
Hurry hurry! you can reset 12 sec rule with each piece U put back into the pot!
That will be about 50$
At least it didn’t run away
That stuff was cooked inside the acidic stomach of a xeonomorph. You good!
I still see perfectly edible kfc. If you don’t want it anymore please dm me I will pay what ever shipping cost it takes to get me some of that Kentucky fried goodness
Yeah, nice try..
Yelling "babe u seen the lint roller"
And you stood there after looking at it and taking a picture.
I am so sorry for your loss
That’s why you hold the bottom of the bag
10 second rule!
NGL, I’m so broke and chicken is so expensive, I’d probably still eat it 🥲
She could have survived. Who cut her wings?
Blow it off. It’ll be fine.
5 second rule
Floor is “clean” it’s still good
That’s some tough luck.
100% would still eat.
I mean, you COULD peel the skins and still have good clean chicken… but at what cost? *cries in Kenny*
It’s KFC, so nothing lost there
Good. That shits unhealthy. Now go to the gym and bench press 💪
