manicmonday Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Haagen-Dazs iced Frappuccino is sooo good. Nasty sick people who cough in their hand and then try to shake my hand. Yuck. When I am sick I always cough into my left hand, because it is customary to shake hands using the right hand. Doesn't anyone else think to do this? Yeah, I'm the freak who when I cough or sneeze in public, I always go to the bathroom. That way it's not out where people can see me, I can clean my hands with my own soap in my purse and use hand sanitizer. Thank God I only get sick maybe once a year. But yeah, people who are gross, make me want to hurt them. Quote The dick has no conscience and the heart has no rational abilities.

But yeah, people who are gross, make me want to hurt them. It simply isn’t possible to run into the restroom every time I need to cough or sneeze, so I’ve never tried that. It does leave a funny image in my head though. Jumping up in the middle of class, or running away in the middle of a conversation. See, usually I don’t plan my coughs or sneezes. They just happen with, maybe, a seconds notice. I wouldn’t even be out of my chair. It does make me wonder how you manage to always make it to the restroom., or how you explain running to the restroom at odd moments. I carry wipes with me everywhere. I always wipe the equipment at the gym down before and after I use it. I also wash my hands constantly, and I usually use paper towels when opening public restroom doors. Cough into your upper arm sleeve. Rapists aside, nobody hauls you off by the arm so it makes the most sense to me. I don't cough in my sleeve because my kids tend to climb all over me when I sit down. My hand is easier to wash off. If there is anything worse than me being sick it is having one of the kids sick.

I also wash my hands constantly, and I usually use paper towels when opening public restroom doors. I'm very rarely sick, thank heavens. Also, the people who know me know I'm very picky and don't think twice about it. The other people, I don't really care about them. You are griping about people coughing into their, I'm taking care of my coughing. It's my solution, it works for me. I'm a clean freak to the max and while it drives most of my friends nuts, it's also hours of amusement for them. I don't use public restrooms unless I need to cough or blow my nose or sneeze. I don't use them to relieve myself. And I'm better than I used to be. Quote The dick has no conscience and the heart has no rational abilities.

I don't use them to relieve myself. And I'm better than I used to be. I'm not saying it is a bad thing, it is a great thing. I'm just a little unclear on your ability to get to the restroom every time you sneeze or cough. I sneeze and cough at times when I am not sick as do most people, and even when I am sick I never know when I'm going to need to sneeze and cough. I'm just a little curious as to what you do when you are standing in the middle of a store and need to sneeze or cough. Or, if you are outside somewhere and something tickles your nose. What about in the car? It strikes me as odd that anyone would be able to make it into the restroom for something as spontaneous as a sneeze or a cough. I agree with going to the restroom to blow your nose, but that is a planned 'event', not a reflex. As for never using the restroom in public, I wish I could say the same, but I do not work or go to school at home and find it difficult to hold my bladder for a full 8 to 10 hours.

manicmonday Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 I don't think I cough as much as maybe other people do. It's never been a problem. I held my bladder on a 24 hour bus ride, I can go 8-10 hours no problem. Even when I worked out of the home, I never used it unless I cleaned it myself first. I'm strange I already know that.

Bath and Body Works makes scented anti-bacterial hand wipes. I keep them in my daughter's diaper bag to use after I change her if there is no sink around. I like the Country Apple scent. Yum.

It is customary in Tae Kwon Do to shake hands after sparring. The other night about half of the class was suffering from the cold/sinus crap that occurs this time of year. It really grossed me out.

Lethalfind Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 My Mother was really appalling when it came to throwing things out before they went bad OR securing them in sealed containers. Therefore when you pulled out the flour or the cereal and thought you saw a black something or other in it...you probably did. I got to the place where I was hyper sensitive to even just color variations in things because all too often I had found some kind of bug in my cereal. I make sure things like this are sealed in zip lock bags and I throw things out rather then keep them to see what kind of experiement they might become. The other day I was eating cereal and found one of the rice krispy thingys was a little darker brown, even though I could see what it was, I couldn't eat it. My Dad used to put things back in the fridge like cheese without making sure they were wrapped, so when you took it out it was dryed and cracked, I am complusive about putting things in zip lock bags or covering them with foil, or Saran wrap. That just annoys the shit out of me when their left uncovered. Quote I am a pathetic piece of shit leeching single mom.
builder Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And those extra bits you turn your nose up at are extra protein sources, Lethal. Protecting your kids from this sort of thing actually weakens their immune systems and exposes them to attack from outside pathogens. Why do you think babies eat dirt? Why do they put everything they come across in their mouths? It's called self-innoculation. Wrap your kids in saren wrap, if you will, and then watch them catch every airborne bug going around. Oh, and saren wrap actually transfers carcinogens to protein foods like cheese and meat products. Did your parents' supposedly try and kill you with their lack of hygiene? Apparently not.

quarky Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 An old mate of mine has a habbit of rubbing his hands together when ever he sees an attractive woman.

Lethalfind Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 My daughter and I went out too eat the other night. It was a restaurant that hosts kids from her school and donates part of the proceeds back to the school... I had to ask someone to come and bus the table so we could sit down. I saw the rag he wiped the table off with and it was all I could do to NOT heave on the spot. I think I might have to come up with a new quirk for this one, I might have to start carrying my own bleach wipes everywhere we go. Quote I am a pathetic piece of shit leeching single mom.
Phantom Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 Body Hair. Hate it. About a year ago I had my legs, under arms, eyebrows, and bikini area lasered. I'm Swedish so it was never bad to begin with but I hate "prickles." Driving. Most of the time I carpool with friends and family or have Hubby chauffeur me around. I was in a hit and run accident in October 2002 when a semi almost killed me. Now I have a panic attack anytime I cannot get out of driving. Make-up. Can't stand it. Have to wash it off the moment I get in the door. Public Places. My back must be to the wall so no one can be behind me and all exits must be visible. Home. Germs fear me. Home must be impeccably clean and decorated. Since I spend most of my time here, it's only normal. Breath. Must be in check every 5 minutes. The others are way too personal and disgusting. Mostly involve personal hygiene or sexual neuroses. Quote Blah.

Your posts are usually hard to read because there is too many grammatical errors. Since we are getting technical, then your verb-subject agreement is also wrong. It should read, "...because there are too many grammatical errors." Hey, I'm not having fun if I'm not causing trouble! Quote Blah.
