The other day a customer at the coffee shop asked “Did you see that?”
“What?” I asked.
“Someone just came up to one of the tables outside, changed their baby on it, and left without wiping up.”
And bugger me, it was disgustingly true.

You need a zero-tolerance baby-changing policy at your speakeasy. Surely you have a shotgun under the bar? it is America after all.

Umm…
Gently does it now, but am I really supposed to be disgusted by that? Or is this Liamrony?
I just can’t get over worried about that. It’s just baby poo, and I’m sure the tables are washed. And it’s not like you’d ever eat off the table without some kind of plate interface.

Well, it does break a cardinal mammalian rule: don’t shit where you eat. I wouldn’t be too keen to eat off a poo-smeared table.
Yes, the tables are washed – by me and my workmates! I don’t mind coffee rings, I don’t even object too much to the little bundles of chewing gum people leave on the saucers, but I do think it’s very unfair to expect somone else to clean up your baby’s faeces. That’s the real disgusting bit.

In changing the nappy she got poo on the table?
I think the issue here is nothing to do with where you change the baby, but how. Surely, it is possible to change a baby without getting poo everywhere, doesn’t the nappy sort of collect it? Isn’t that what all that elastic bit round the legs is for? (Or am I going to get a horrid shock when I spawn?)
