Things you've seen in Detroit that make you go "ewwwww".

caution: these ones are a little dirtier, but i've cleaned them up for the kids

Well, I was riding my bike down Cass, and happened to look toward Cass park, and saw a guy standing out in the open, MID AFTERNOON, with his pants down, and let's just keep it clean for the kids, and say he was paying for female services you might normally find at Cass and Temple.

--------------------

That was what *I* saw... Now, for someone else: A friend of mine who lives in Capital Park went to her car a few winters ago, and noticed what I will refer to here as a "soiled rubber" on the hood of her vehicle. Afraid to touch it, she batted at it a few times with her snow brush, but it was stuck... VERY stuck... over night, it had frozen to her hood.

So, off she drove to work [[I used to also work with her), the item flapping around in the wind - still stuck. She had incorrectly assumed it would come off while driving, but no.

Upon arriving at work, she saw our boss approaching, so, in a moment of embarrassment, she made her glove take one for the team, and pulled it off... and it splattered all over her. I still remember her running through the workplace screaming in an effort to cleanse herself in the bathroom...

Wait, if it was frozen to her hood, then how did it turn to liquid and splatter when sh picked it off?

Detmich, I imagin that the heat from the engine warmed the hood just enough to loosen the afore described item.

There's nothing quite so unattractive as a floater after turtles have dined. But maybe that's just me.

The Detroit Lions.

Indeed Izzy wins hands down!

This was years ago, back when they still had the ethnic festivals at Hart Plaza. Went down one Sunday morning just as the vendors were setting up, before the garbage cans had been emptied, and an elderly woman was going from can to can carfully picking chicken bones out and putting them in a bag to take home.
I almost cried. I did give her ten dollars.

A guy having anal urination on the side walk next to the party store at Cass and 75. I was on my way to Lafayette Coney Island at the time.

Yuppie 'basic white' people moving to places like Mid-town admiring and living a pseudo life of being poor all the while sporting designer labels from top used clothing stores from the Pointes, with lap-top back-packs and walking their fancy pure breads dogs......ewwwww!__go figure!

blksoul_atcha!
The BJL, the color you love to hate!

[j to the jeremy]

Hey Bsoul- what's a "Basic" white person? Although I get what you're trying to say, there's definitely a better way to say it.

[GOAT]

Has this place jumped the shark? WTF?

I was riding the bus home from work and where the bus turned onto Gratiot heading North - there was a bum peeing right into the street.

Then one time when I carpooled with a coworker, we were driving home from work on I94 East and were in bumper to bumper traffic. I looked at the car next to us and the woman driving - she was alone - was --- oh, I call it - practicing oral sex on a half peeled banana. She was NOT biting portions off and eating them. Her tongue and mouth were...well you get the picture! I told my friend to take a look and we both watched her "performance" for a couple of miles till traffic started moving. The woman was so intent on what she was doing she never saw us looking at her.

I think maybe that was when the word "multi-tasking" came into my vocabulary.

This is becoming my favorite all time thread.

I was walking down Brush from GreekTown to Jacoby's a couple summers ago. Upon walking by the alley between Jacoby's and the parking lot nextdoor, I saw some guy walk into Jacoby alley from some side alley. He put his backpack down next to a telephone pole and disappeared behind a dumpster. As he was placing his backpack, two "ladies of the night," who were very much dressed for the part, followed him behind the dumpster. I can only imagine what was going on behind that dumpster, that mid afternoon.

Do you think the backpack owner knew, or even cared, that the odds are only about even that the "ladies" were, in fact, female?

Was her other hand on the steering wheel, or was she seriously involved in self multitasking? lol

[m3h.shallal]

Public urination
incinerator
factories in southwest Detroit including Marathon Oil.
also i've seen my fair share of prostitution since i've moved to Detroit.

[j to the jeremy]

Yes, the smell around Marathon in SW Detroit has made me close the windows numerous times.

[daddeeo]

The toilet humor hall of fame here can't touch how gross city council has become. I suppose a bunch of ignorance and lack of common decency probably connects the two.

[GREENTROIT]

I didn't really wanna post this, but I will.

For about a week in early April on Westbound I-96 around Grand Blvd, there was the remains of a dog presumably struck by a car. The dog had been decapitated, and its head was resting on its base, facing oncoming traffic. I figured with the City's public service record it would sit on the road all summer, but it was cleaned up in about a week. Definitely gross, and pretty sad, too.

[grumpyoldlady]

I'm glad everyone is having fun with the thread...I almost didn't post it.

[dtowncitylover]

Eight years ago, the McDonalds in Hamtramck on Joseph Campau had dozens of big rat holes in the bushes. The rats were so brazen they would be swarming the dumpster during the day.

AMEN! I remember seeing some too at that exact same location! They were big and would carry McDo bags through their hole. I'm not sure why we decided to eat there after seeing that.

Also the entrance ramp from the northbound Chrysler onto the westbound Davison was filled with garbage. Then I drove on it a couple Thursdays ago and it was clean...

[MDoyle]

dumpster behind hoots, st. pattys day parade. Not the grossest but definitely disgusted me.

[LodgeDodger]

Andylinn.....the visual I conjured up in my mind of that whole incident has me still laughing. The fact that she ended up wearing some of it isn't funny, but the rest it hilarious...I can just see the looks she got driving to work, lol.

I can imagine her driving to work, her eyes fixed on the offending condom on her hood. I laughed out loud, too.

[eriedearie]

Was her other hand on the steering wheel, or was she seriously involved in self multitasking? lol

Her other hand was on the wheel! She didn't seem concerned about herself. LOL We often thought perhaps she was practicing for a role in a porn flick!

[LodgeDodger]

This really isn't the grossest, but it does disgust me: bums who blow their noses directly onto the sidewalk.

First time I saw that, I stopped wearing sandals for my tours.

[jcole]

Disgusting pig people who spit all over the sidewalks. This is not only a Detroit problem, but it sure makes me go Ewwww.
