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

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

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

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

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.

As a Midwestern suburbanite, this is my natural habitat.

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

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