i had a friend that owned a tanning salon, actually i new 2, and both told the same story.

they quite frequently have people that will piss and crap in the garbage can. these are woman doing this, not guys.
my wife works part time at JC penny, she says that every now and then woman will pee in the dressing rooms.
i remember when i was a kid and working in places like that. when cleaning bathrooms, the womans almost always worse.

i will turn my head and sneeze or cough towards the ground. my take on it is, if i sneeze or cough in my hand, then touch something, thats just as bad or worse.

this one gets me. standing and peeing into a toilet. i dont kn wo about the rest of you, but i know when i stand and pee, pee splatters everywhere. i have even felt it hit my legs when wearing shorts. so if i go into a clean bathroom, that does not have a urinal, i do sit, especially at home. if the bathroom is nasty, all bets are off. if my wife is going to clean the bathroom, the least i can do is not have her clean up my pee splatter. go ahead, call me a girl if you like, but i just dont like the pee splatter.

Used to work with a guy that would dig in his ear with a ball-point pen , then he would click it and knock the wax off onto the table.

It depends on the method of execution... If one pisses on the sides of the toilet bowl, it gently streams down to the pool of water. It's quiet and clean. I avoid sitting on public toilets unless I really need to...

Most people don't seem to know that it is not proper to blow your nose in front of other people. Hello - that is disgusting to those around you. I always leave the room or at least walk far away when I blow my nose.
And if you are coughing and/or sneezing into your hand DO NOT shake someone else's hand on parting! You will surely give them your cold. Explain why and simply walk away.

Yesterday a customer came walking in with his bottom lip sticking out. In the 5 minutes he was here he walked over to our kitchen sink and spit at least 6 times.

He is a regular customer that pays his bill promptly. YUCK!

For a long time living here, this is the first time I heard this. Around here, people do it all the time. For the first several years, I couldn't eat my meal when people did this in the restaurant (or any eating place), but I slowly have to get use to it and keep telling myself that "I didn't hear it. I didn't hear it". The worst are those who blowed their nose, then put their napkin on their plate (after they finish the meal).

Dear Breadnazis,
Please enlighten us as to how you break/slice bread without touching the rest of the loaf.

Is it some kind of zen thing?

I once noticed while at work, that a lot of people apparently "pick and flick" boogers at the inside of the stall door facing them while they are sitting on the can. This is apparent, because when you sit down and look up, you can see all the shrapnel stuck to the door.

One day, I sat down and looked up. Someone had taped a hand-written note on the inside of the door saying, "please do not wipe boogers on the bathroom door...the cleaning people will appreciate it". Then, smeared directly on that hand-written note, was a long, green, slimy, bloody booger!!!

Unreal...

Very easy.

Step 1. Grab the end of the loaf with one hand (the end that you are cutting off to become your "slice").

Step 2. Grab a knife with the other hand and cut the loaf.

If you don't want the "end" piece, just discard it and repeat steps above.

Imagine how you cut a steak to take a bite. The steak is the "loaf" and your hand is the "fork".

Was in the bathroom on campus.... Could tell someone was in the stall taking a sit.... While I'm washing my hands, dude walks out with a cup of coffee in his hand. Finishes the coffee, tosses the cup, and then washes his hands...

Sid, where's the problem? He washed his hands before he left the bathroom... that's the main thing we all want from him, right?

Is it the fact he was drinking coffee while on the throne?

If so, that's nothing... and not gross if you do it right.

1. Walk in the stall and undo belt and pants with one hand (coffee in other hand).
2. Drop trou. If you need to, you can put the cup on floor (or top of full TP roll or dispenser) to accomplish this.
3. Drink and dump. (Nasty floor or TP/dispenser only touched the bottom of the cup.)
4. Set cup back on floor or roll/dispenser while doing the TP thang... aka wiping.
5. Trou up. Fasten everything.
6. Pick up cup, open stall door.
7. Finish the story any way you want, but wash hands before leaving bathroom.

Did I miss something?

Maybe coffee isn't that important to you.

It is to some of us... especially in the morning.

While having lunch at the Machine shop, one idiot would pull out 2 earplugs and put them on the table neatly in the middle; i.e large base down with pointed end cone up.
We were all gathered on a tight table.
I could not look that way, I would of puked.
Another welder-idiot- would pull his nose hairs out at the table.
I am scarred. I'm sure.

There is a use for cleanliness, but as the saying goes "for every reaction, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

In India, where antibiotics are (also) overused, there are new strains of TB not cureable.
Staph and strep are fast becoming ultra-resistant as well.

We live amoungst...and are made of...bacteria and virii:
Humans are a cocktail of bacteria and human cells
Early exposure to germs has lasting benefits : Nature News & Comment
Provirus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"It is thought that proviruses may account for approximately 8% of the human genome in the form of inherited endogenous retroviruses."

I never buy bulk-open veggies- nor anything as such.

Must be wrapped, untouched by human hands.
Open market = free for all bacteria and viruses.
This , conclusion comes from experiencing and witnessing, the non-evolved homosapian.
