Was deciding on organic maple syrup, and suddenly the aisle I was in was like a mob scene.
You just reminded me though... I bought some organic honey crisp apples. They're in the fridge. They need to be rinsed before I use them in my salads. People are disgusting, and yes, I find it disturbing with people coughing up a lung and not covering their mouth.


Someone in our office was like this and my co-worker was complaining about her coming into her office and coughing all about. She was sick for at least a few weeks. I told her under no circumstances are you to touch the supplies. Just take what is out in the kitchen area that I put out. I don't want her hands touching everything. All of the paper cups and such. No thanks. I keep everything stashed in my office now.
LOL. Unfortunately, I can't do that here but I say it enough and loud enough about how disgusting it is to not cover your mouth when you cough. Hoping it will embarrass the guilty parties enough.

My girlfriend was convinced that it's the end of winter today. I had to remind her that we've just hit February. I somewhat worry about getting sick. It's the shock of temperature change that gets me, and why I seem to get sick more often in the fall or spring vs the winter or summer.

I will NEVER understand nasty. Even if you were not taught, you are now an adult and should know better. I only wonder how deep does the nasty go?

A couple weeks ago my boss was going to dinner with a sales person on the desk, I had to warn him not share food. She is notorious for not washing her hands after using the bathroom. Nasty a**

Nope - I heard those were not sanitary either. Will always use paper towel to dry and another piece to open the door.

I only use them at that Bryant Park Whole Foods if no paper towel is around, and I ALWAYS use a paper towel for door handles. There’s one guy on my floor that seems to not understand that in a civilized world you blow your nose with paper towel or a tissue and not the old finger to the nostril trick, which then lands in the sink.

Mysophobia, also known as verminophobia, germophobia, germaphobia, bacillophobia and bacteriophobia, is a pathological fear of contamination and germs.




You can take this fear of germs to near psychosis.
I like the new hand dryers that are not very hot but blast with force of a 747 engine.


But for a quick pee, I rarely wash my hands. After all I showered and tucked myself into my pants. If ANYTHING should be washed it would be my penis. Either that or wash hands BEFORE peeing. See the logic?
