The Heinous Handshake
May 4th, 2007 by Michael
I am convinced that germophobes actually introduce more problems into society than regular people. Plus, they always seem to be ill. But today’s example of germophobe hysteria was an egregious one.
I could write multiple volumes on communal bathroom etiquette. I will not go in to detail about those other issues today because of the seriousness of the offence I witnessed today.
I saw a gentleman, after making a deposit at the Ford Fecal Bank, proceed toward the sinks at which point he prepared his drying towel prior to washing his hands. You, humble reader, cannot disturb the chain of events for washing! He has now left his detritus on the towel handle and every subsequent person will touch it with his now clean hands. Everyone has to work together and use the same order of operations. It can be before washing, or after washing, but once one person screws it up due to selfishness, bacteria is everywhere. I should have reprimanded him and made him understand that the other 99.9% of people that wash their hands get the towel after their hands are clean and he needs to get on board.
If you are lucky I will tell more angry tales next week.
Disgustedly yours,
