Women Have Germiest Offices
But Men's Wallets Germier Than Purses
Feb 13, 2007
(WebMD) Women tend to have germier offices than men, according to a new study on office germs.
The study comes from University of Arizona researchers Sheri Maxwell, BS, and Charles Gerba, PhD. It was funded by The Clorox Company.
The researchers swabbed the offices of 59 women and 54 men in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oregon, and Washington, D.C.
They sampled eight sites in each office: the phone, desktop, computer mouse, computer keyboard, exclamation key on the computer keyboard, pen, bottom of desk drawer, and handle of desk drawer.
Those samples showed twice as much bacteria in women's offices as in men's.
The researchers also swabbed workers' personal items at the office, including personal digital assistants (PDAs), women's purses and makeup cases, and men's wallets.
Men's wallets had more germs than any other item studied -- personal or office.

My husbands argues that guys don't have to touch their stuff when they go most of the time, but I say YUCK. You should wash your hands anytime the opportunity comes along PERIOD.
My wife used to yell at me because the bathroom sink area was constantly a mess.
When we built our new house, a few years back, we had enough room to build his and her sinks.
That's when the truth came out. My side was always spotless, and hers was a wreck.
She's been quiet ever since.
It's 2 to 1 evidence here. The sinks used by my wife and daughter quickly become well, disgusting. Mine is relatively spotless. It's hair and makeup mostly.
My wife and I share a bedroom, but when our daughter moved out and we moved into a two bathroom unit, it was one of the most pleasant experiences of my life. I'm a big advocate of separate bathrooms.
My 9 yr old son always says "Why, I didn't get any on me."

My daddy taught me not to pee on my fingers and always use paper to wipe.
Yeah, but there are those of us less favorably endowed who are likely to grab a hair and piss down our leg.
Good thing many restrooms have wall mounted blow dryers.

No pun taken. :-)
Did that say offices or orifices?
You mean those wall-mounted bacon dispensers?
Right in the middle of dinner he declares he's got to go to the bathroom. (Usually when he's not wild about the menu) When he returns I tell him to go back and wash his hands, that's when I get the response.

Total bull hockey I bet. Where I office, the two ladies' offices are neat and the two guys offices are pits.
My office is piled with computer equipment - no makeup, one shortbread cookie, piles of CDs and DVDs. No stuffed animals, there are some kid pictures on the corkboard, but they are buried under technical white papers that have been pinned in on top - several layers deep on some subjects (a sort of pinned up filing system).
About the sink....husband shaves and leaves all that hair stuff in the sink. He can't brush his teeth without leaving toothpaste in the sink. The sink edges are crowded with various electric devices that he requires for his grooming. The devices themselves are in need of cleaning.
I hate washing hair out of the sink, so I always brush and comb my hair by stepping out into the floor first. My makeup resides in a small plastic organizer and it come off the shelf for application and goes back on the shelf when I'm finished.
I hate nasty sinks and I hate having the edges of the sink so crowded with stuff you knock something over when you reach for the toothbrush.
Its NOT a gender thing, its a personality thing :-)
