Seen a server in an eating establishment take partially uneaten food (Kimchi) from a customer's dish, who'd left, and put it back in the main container for the customer after me to enjoy.
Wonder how common that is?

Have a hair dresser stop in the middle of cutting my hair to walk up to the mirror right in front of me and pick her nose, and then immediately go back to cutting my hair.
