GA Russell Posted June 15, 2013 Report Posted June 15, 2013 This is pretty disgusting, but good to know. http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/06/14/8-germiest-public-places/?intcmp=features Quote
ejp626 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Posted June 15, 2013 Reminds me a lot of the Fear Monger Shop ads that Garrison Keillor used to run on his show. Might as well keep people in a perpetual state of unease. Indeed, some studies show that going too heavy on the hand sanitizer is a real no-no and is just going to result in more super-bugs. You just can't win... It's taken some time, but my wife is more comfortable having the kids exposed to germs, which is generally better for them -- and her mental health. Quote

Notice how much stuff this article is trying to sell you? From this side ot the Atlantic, Americans are viewed as being a bit too fetishistic about cleanliness. Mind you, I've got to say that it's a pleasure to have a piss or a crap in public loos in America, but nowhere else I've been in the world. MG Quote
Quincy Posted June 15, 2013 Report Posted June 15, 2013 It looks like going to a diner and having iced tea would be just about the germiest thing you could do. Quote
ejp626 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) Well, you could eat a sandwich from a truck stop rest room. (Futurama in-joke. Sorry.) Edited June 15, 2013 by ejp626 Quote
king ubu Posted June 15, 2013 Report Posted June 15, 2013 You know, some merikins insist on buying but shrinkwrapped CDs ... do you boil them before you touch the e.coli popuating it? Quote
PHILLYQ Posted June 16, 2013 Report Posted June 16, 2013 At work, I always see guys use the bathroom, then take a piece of paper towel to open the door. I get a laugh out of it, as I'm sure those folks don't get sick any more or less due to the paper towel usage. Me, I grab the handle barehanded! You only live once:) Quote

You only live once:) I've seen people do that at my office as well on occasion. I don't do it myself, but on the other hand I can't disparage it too much after having witnessed someone exit the restroom after taking a crap without washing their hands. Quote

When, after a morning's heavy buying in HMV Ueno, I headed for the toilet and found a hole in the floor with no visible means of flushing... Or maybe that's what you meant. Actually, they were mostly pretty good, I've got to say. MG Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) The free roasted / salted peanuts and bowl at the bar is filled with germs.... IMO Edited June 18, 2013 by Soulstation1 Quote
papsrus Posted June 18, 2013 Report Posted June 18, 2013 They forgot to potato salad on that list. (Although I guess it goes without saying) I had some (what turned out to be) nasty potato salad on Saturday night. I'm just coming to now. Damn that potato salad. Paps (burp) Quote
