I love the added taste of car smog as I eat outside in the parking lot

I was confused at first because that's how almost all the outdoor seating at restaurants in my area look but that's just because it's so normalized. I never realized how shitty it actually is until now

Hey this looks like every outdoor seating place at every bar in my town!

But you get a lovely view of the dumpster.

Mmmm I love the smell of dumpster juice while I’m eating.

Hey, don't judge. Spotting a Dumpstericus greenii in its native habitat was on my bucket list.

Even putting up some walls with some fake plants would be an improvement.

This looks like one of those temporary outdoor seating areas that they installed during the pandemic and then just never went away.

As a Midwestern suburbanite, this is my natural habitat.

All of the cars facing the camera gives it an ominous Maximum Overdrive vibe.

The food would be great if it weren’t for the diesel aftertaste.
