Ok, seriously, what is with grown *kitten* people NOT washing their hands after: sneezing or coughing into them, blowing their nose, changing a baby diaper, or using the restroom!? Like, do they not EVER wash their hands, or do they just like to spread germs all over when they are in public!? It's so gross! Please people WASH YOUR HANDS!!!! Ok, rant over.

    germs don't necessarily make you 'stronger'

    Back in the 1800s-1900s when they thought that dirt was a 'protective layer' and did surgery, most people died of infection FROM the unsanitary conditions.

    Anywho, I used to work in a medical clinic, and the owner decided to 'be green' and quit buying paper towels for us to dry our hands with. Made us use a 'communal towel'. Well, someone didn't really 'wash' their hands after using the loo. I picked up a nasty case of bacterial gastroenteritis. 2 weeks of being unable to keep food in or down.

    After that, I kept my own towel in my pocket, and while everybody else got sick and shared the same colds, I never got sick.

    Germaphobes unite!

    My son is a germaphobe and I grossed him out the other day when I was telling him how, as a kid, I used to play in the mud, weeds, coal house, my uncle's barn, corn bin, pig pen and all kinds of other dirty places and hardly ever was sick as a kid. :bigsmile:

    Respectfully I understand and people should wash their hands.........and I too get grossed out........but honestly, the world is full of germs and there is no way around it. You ARE going to get and transmit germs whether or not you like it........its the way it is. So if you are a germ-a-phobe then carry around some anti bacterial stuff if you don't want any germs

    I'm willing to bet a swab of your kitchen counter or, worse yet, the shelves in your refrigerator would produce far nastier petri dish samples than would those strangers 'germy' hands.

    If she meant that, how come she quoted what I said? I never really said anything of the sort.

    I'm not a germaphobe, but if I am in a public restroom washing my hands, and someone comes out of the stall and heads straight for the door, I ask them very loudly, "Aren't you going to wash your hands?" Most pretend they don't hear me and walk out, but I am betting they are very conscious of that experience every time thereafter.

    I hear ya...its not so much a germ thing for me as it is a personal hygiene thing. I went to the bathroom at the mall one time and there was a lady leaving a stall with her kids.....she held them above the toilet while they peed all over the place then left it that way!!!! Come on, really??? I figured she probably had a phobia about public toilets and didn't want her kids touching it. Maybe she thought everybody does what she had just done! The mess she left for the poor attendant made me sick! Pretty rude.

    Washing your hands is so over rated.... lets be real here. You cant avoid it, you are going to touch stuff, yourself, others, and random things. GERMS RULE..lol
