I've never been too concerned about germs, but do use common sense. A female friend once asked why I washed my hands before peeing. I told her my junk just stayed in my pants, but my hands touched door knobs, money, things in stores, and all sorts of germy things. So much better washing before than after. She thought that made sense.

^^^ McLovin
Got you beat.
I retired after 38 years with 0 days used for sick pay.

(The reason being is that we were paid for unused sick days.)

That’s impressive!
But did you really not once stay home sick?

My wife is a bit of a germophobe. (She goes full concours doing dishes).
But she also likes going out to eat at restaurants.
I try to tell her that those are mutually exclusive things.

^^^Nope...I always thought that an extra days pay was worth more than sitting at home.

It was a great incentive for employees to 'suck it up'.

We do not get paid out and the sick days roll over every year, I currently have 712 hours..... Have taken maybe a few every year if that.

I was at a swimming pool where they had a small food service, serving hotdogs hamburgers etc. I ordered a hotdog and when the kid put the hot dog on the counter, I said is it it is a cooked? He put his finger on the hotdog and said yes.🙄

The gal fixing my drink was having trouble with the frozen latte dispenser. It was plugged up and she proceeded to stick her little finger up the metal valve to unplug it.

She had no plastic gloves on and handed me the drink and said 'Thank You'

She was very good looking and with tats, so I said nothing. I did not drink it.

Many restrooms now have that little thing at the bottom so you can open it with you foot.
I use the pinkie finger of my non-dominant hand.

I don’t think I owe her an apology. I asked her nicely if she would scan it with the small 3”x3” barcode reader instead of handling the drinks. It almost seemed like she didn’t know how to do that, when I’ve seen it done multiple times before. She then made a snide remark of people touching it before it got in the cooler. I can imagine fewer people touched the drink getting it to the cooler then she touches in one day of ringing up items. Like I said, she was not the sharpest tool in the shed and was barely functioning.

The young lady was no spring chicken.
