It's kinda surprising how it's nearly 2010 and people.... Older Adults mostly..... can't wash their hands. How hard is it really? 30 sec to wash hands. Some people don't even use soap and pretend with just water.

someone need a hug? :D may I suggest latex gloves when touching doors and hands. If you tell people they are filthy and disgusting I am sure they will understand. As for touching, i don't even like touching myself... uhm...:huh:

Eh, the human body is a resillient thing. Sure door knobs and other peoples' hands are crawling with germs but so what. There are germs everywhere. They are unavoidable. What grinds my gears is the people that are so paranoid about germs that they slather their kids in Purell and then wonder why they are so sick all the time when they get older. Kids will get dirty and eat germs and it's good for them. They may get sick at first when they are little but that's what their bodies need to build up their immune system so they can fight it off next time. I will admit that I've never been a big hand washer. I wash my hands after using the bathroom but don't always wash my hands every single time before eating. I am very very rarely ever sick beyond a slight cold now and then. I was sick quite often as a child though so I have a good set of antibodies built up.

I guess everyone has their quirks. You guys hate touching dirty things. I hate it when people leave time left on the microwave at work. And when they take up a spot on one of the large shelves in the refrigerator with a tupperware dish that could easily fit on one of the smaller shelves below. Neither of these is really a big deal when you think about it, but both make me angry for some reason.

Ha. Amen to that one. I would much rather work on a project by myself so I don't have to hope everyone else holds up their end. But sadly, all schools these days do assign group projects because generally you will be working with groups of people once you get out of school. The difference there is if someone doesn't hold up their end in a job, they can get fired. If someone doesn't hold up their end in a school group project, the worst that can happen is they get a bad grade, which usually results in the rest of the group either getting a bad grade also, or having to do a lot more work than they should have had to.

Yes, I need a hug :( lol. Its not that people are disgusting/filthy, I just don't like being touched by people I don't know. I'm not a big cuddler, or one for PDA, i've always been that way since I was a baby. Don't know why.

You know you touch yourself guy, don't lie!

buying most things from Soopers is hit or miss.... :lol:
Frankly I am not sure why you'd think their chicken might be good to begin with. You are a braver man than i.

I think you are easily approachable Eric, and perhaps they gents are trying to impress you with their larger displacement. I think they are hitting on you. :cool:
