    I never touch sanitizers. I'll wash after leaving the restroom. If I shower or not after a workout it's no one's business.

    And I never get sick.

    Your body needs to build an immunity. You can't avoid germs, no matter how hard you try. May as well be able to fight them off.

    Whether your showering habits are the business of others or not isn’t the issue. It is matter of consideration and civility in not exposing others to your stink. Yeah, I know, no one ever thinks that they stink; think again!

    Also, it isn’t solely a matter of whether getting exposed to someone else’s phlegm, poop, or urine makes you sick; this is a vile experience without even considering the germs. I almost never get sick either, not because I build immunities by exposing myself to to other people’s bodily fluids, but because I wash my hands a lot, sanitize my hands, and try to avoid touching my nose or mouth between hand washings.

    People are gross. They're going to continue to be gross whether you notice it more or not.

    Haha, no doubt, but if I can influence even one person to change his/her gross ways, I feel like I have accomplished something! Perhaps it was a lack of parental guidance ?

    I'm not sure if you've ever heard of this but some people think excessive sanitizing and things make one MORE prone to illness because they don't get to build up antibodies or immunities or something.

    I think it's the reason the first year kids go to school is so rough with sicknesses. Once they've been there a bit they become the walking petri dishes the rest of the kids are and become hardy enough to do all the gross things kids do at school without suffering too many ilnesses.

    I don't know if this theory is true but it seems to play out at schools.

    This guy might be behind the theory.

    If you ever saw tests of common objects for fecal matter, semen, and blood, you'd never leave the house.

    LoL. Didn't they recently test some library copies of Fifty Shades of Grey and they tested positive for herpes or some other wonderful VD? Can't recall the specifics, but it was funny and gross.
    :noway:

    Edit. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/fifty-shades-grey-book-found-traces-herpes-cocaine-article-1.1520974

    Herpes and cocaine. Yep.

    Hey, I'm on the same page with you guy!

    I am grateful that I work from home now. I used to have a desk job and folks would walk out of the restrooms without washing their hands. I know they did this!! I worked in a library and back in tech services you must keep your hands clean. I eat out very little because I used to work for a restaurant as the hostess way back when. I had to jump on people's back sides because they were in food prep and did not wash their hands!!!! Crazy.

    Going to work when you are coughing up what sounds like small turtles is another thing I hated. I rarely get sick now.

    Ugh that's gross. There's a man in my office who wears the same shirt for a week and I swear, only bathes on a Sunday. The smell on a Friday is unbearable. He has a habit of leering over you while you're sitting at your desk and I feel like I'm trapped in a stink prison - the amount of times I've nearly died from holding my breath is too many to count. I'm sure I'm running out of lives.

    I'm soooo not a germaphobe. I wash my hands after using the restroom but that's pretty much it. I don't use sanitizer etc. I never get sick. You just never know.

    Pretty much the same. I will also wash my hands before cooking and after walking the dog but not always before eating. I also don't always wash my fruit!

    I don't like using hand sanitizer unless I absolutely have to - like after using a port-o-let while racing. Washing with warm soap and water feels like it gets my hands so much cleaner and doesn't leave any residue.

    I won't even go into the guy working on one of his pimples in a little clip on mirror at the checkout register in a grocery chain store. He was the cashier!

    Sorry I messed up lunch for you.:smooched:

    I'm not sure if you've ever heard of this but some people think excessive sanitizing and things make one MORE prone to illness because they don't get to build up antibodies or immunities or something.

    I think it's the reason the first year kids go to school is so rough with sicknesses. Once they've been there a bit they become the walking petri dishes the rest of the kids are and become hardy enough to do all the gross things kids do at school without suffering too many ilnesses.

    I don't know if this theory is true but it seems to play out at schools.

    Nah, there were several people with the flu this year in my office. Never did I get the flu or even cold. Sanitizing works for me. I think its a combination of your own immune system and sanitizing. Who knows, maybe my mother let me play in the dirt when I was a kid,boosting my immune system, lol. Lucky me! Thanks mom

    :yawn:

    I don't go to the gym to smell pretty. I'm not exposing anyone to any bodily fluids anymore than the normal tiny particles that no one can escape that are everywhere around us.

    Your phobias are not my problem.

    You may not go to the gym to smell pretty – but what about work? I was referencing not showering after using the work gym and then returning to work, which has nothing to do with using the work gym and then going home or using a commercial gym on your own time. If you think it is okay to be sweaty and stink in an office environment, you have an entirely different definition of professionalism than I do.

    so you avoid germs like mad....

    and are a germaphobe...

    yet your kids get sick at the drop of a hat...

    how's that working for you?

    seems they have a compromised immunity....

    Even worse I have seen at my gym the same man who comes and runs on the treadmill in jeans and a polo and doesn't even go in to the locker room to change....he must then wear those same clothes to work.... UGH!!!

    Oooooh. I bet he smells fabulous!

    Perhaps he wants to smell like Ron Burgundy's Sex Panther... the natural way

    There are people with poor hygiene in all walks of life. Some of these people work in restaurants.

    Ugh that's gross. There's a man in my office who wears the same shirt for a week and I swear, only bathes on a Sunday. The smell on a Friday is unbearable. He has a habit of leering over you while you're sitting at your desk and I feel like I'm trapped in a stink prison - the amount of times I've nearly died from holding my breath is too many to count. I'm sure I'm running out of lives.

    Keep Febreeze on your desk and give him a courtesy spray when he looms?

    My dearly departed granny always said kids need to eat a peck {1/2 bushel} of dirt when they were crawling. While that might be overstating it, playing in the dirt, and eating a little of it builds kids' immune system. I never met a mud puddle I didn't want to play in when I was little, {and even after I grew up if you count dirt bikes} yet I have managed to live this long, mostly without ever getting sick.

    :yawn:

    I don't go to the gym to smell pretty. I'm not exposing anyone to any bodily fluids anymore than the normal tiny particles that no one can escape that are everywhere around us.

    Your phobias are not my problem.

    You may not go to the gym to smell pretty – but what about work? I was referencing not showering after using the work gym and then returning to work, which has nothing to do with using the work gym and then going home or using a commercial gym on your own time. If you think it is okay to be sweaty and stink in an office environment, you have an entirely different definition of professionalism than I do.

    I don't go to the gym and then go to work. I don't have a gym where I work. I go after and then walk home.

    You know it's funny, it's almost like my life has absolutely nothing to do with you... probably why I never consulted you as to any of the choices I make.

    Read the original post - It is crystal clear that I was only talking about the work environment. Are you just here looking for some random, off topic back and forth today?
