All it takes to ruin what could've been the perfect TV show or movie is one character.

There could be several reasons for this.

One, it could be because audience members are unable to separate the indiscretions of an actor off-camera who was maybe embroiled in a drawn-out court case.

People are crazy, lazy, and gross at times.

It's one thing if they do it at their own home, but people are out and about asking this way. In public!

I should probably just come to terms with it, already.

But that doesn't mean I'm not going to call you out.

I will follow you out of the bathroom to shame you if you don't wash your hands.

And your kids.

Have you no decency?!
