Memo to self: Cancel all future trips to India and ME.
Oh wait; I never planned on going to those *turd-world hellholes*, anyway. Nevermind.
Well, one day he did.... a macaroon from a street vendor.....(he hasn't had one since)...
..He had dysentery so bad they sent him away to a hospital to recuperate...
The doctor treated him with arsenic in the AM, and mega doses of vitamins in the afternoon to counter the Arsenic....(or so he tells me)
I believe you. I work at a place filled with medical professionals. The women I see in the restrooms are fastidious about washing their hands, even if they have just gone into the washroom stall to straighten some clothing out and the toilet is not used (you can tell by the sounds). Then the women all use a paper towel to open the restroom door. They put a garbage can next to the restroom door so that the paper towels could be dropped into it.
But often I am standing not far from the entrance to the men's room, where the coffee machines are located, and I hear the toilet flush, then the door immediately opens and some doctor or male nurse comes out. Maybe they think their germs are special and they don't have to wash?
It’s one of my pet peeves too among a few. People blowing their nose at the eating table is another thing that bothers me.
That’s another thing I’ve heard too—you CAN be too clean and it’s not a bad thing for kids to get some germs into them. It builds up their immune system. I’m not super, anal clean but I do make my kids wash their hands after they go to the bathroom or come in from playing. And I wash my hands many times during the day.
Your crank is what’s dirty, bubba.
This moving story makes me realize that 53 per cent of dumpers don’t wipe, and therefore don’t feel the need to wash.
Nobody ever thinks of the menu, which was handled by a thousand nonhand-washers. I order my food, wash my hands, and THEN touch the utensils and cup.
