This was the main reason I switched. I grew up with margarine, and I thought it was exactly the same, except much cheaper. Then one day I saw an episode of Good Eats and learned how differently things bake between the two. Went out and bought some butter, and I never looked back.

These garbage people are why those virus/germ/zombie apocalypse scenarios are believable. The horror of it is, clean people will be the most likely to survive, but we will also be the least likely to want to live in a wrecked world with no functioning water treatment plants.

Also? You aren’t just washing your hands because of what might have gotten on there while you were in the bathroom but because of everything else you’ve touched between the last time you washed your hands and then (money, doorknobs, elevator buttons, crosswalk buttons, etc.) I think of it as a chance to reset my…

Why are Mofos so nasty? It takes no time to wash your hands. I will use up every paper towel in the office before I touch a door handle. This is also why I try to avoid shaking hands. In fact, please just don’t touch me at all.

Alright you fuckers. Here’s a list:

I can do you one better if we include women (and their periods) on this topic. Leaving “residue” and “detritus” in the ladies room, and not washing their hands ,either. That right there is a whole other level of biohazard and germ warfare.

Right? I too work in a suit and tie professional environment. I go halfway around my floor to use the single occupancy bathrooms because they are generally cleaner than the communal ones, but even there I’ve witnessed some truly vile shit. It’s like, were all adults, no? Not only are we adults, we’re well educated,…

Disgusting. Do you want people to touch you, your food, your doorknobs, or your desk after touching their genitals? Because that’s what you’re doing when you don’t wash your nasty hands after using the bathroom. Dude, it is a scientific fact that frequent hand washing—after bathrooming and before eating—lessens the…

These non-washers are the reason I have to wash my hands 3 times every fucking time I go to the bathroom. When I enter, because some nasty fuck-ass put his piss-shit hands all over the door. After I’m done, because I’m a Gods-damned professional. And after I get back to the kitchen, because -again- fuck-asses. If it…

I’m crackin up at this because I just had this conversation with my mother in law last week. We see and say the same thing. I see some use the bathroom and go clean (no pun intended) out without any handwashing whatsoever. Five minutes later they in the hallway shaking someone’s hand. But the kicker is - my mother in…

Please, please, please don’t flush “flushable” wipes

I’m the same way at my job. I’ve never had so many sick days until I got to my current job (cold, strep, pinkeye, stomach virus, you name it). My OCD and paranoia is so ridiculously cranked up that I wash my hands after making it through all the doors with napkins. These crazy seeming rituals have extended to…

I wish I could give this article more stars.

I went to the movies with some friends once, after the movie two of us went to the restroom. He peed and then walked out. I was confused. I said, “dude, wash your hands.” he goes, “why? it’s clean.” Moments later we were all parting ways and he extends his hand to shake mine. I said, “oh hold on.” I stuck my hand down…

Your reference to community bowls of anything could also be expanded to encompass potlucks at the office. If folks aren’t washing their hands after a trip to the restroom at work, god only knows what’s going on at home when they’re cooking.

I feel like this is the definition of “treating the symptom but not curing the disease”.

The meal plans are shockingly expensive! I was required to have one my first year in college and scrapping the money together was a nightmare because I was paying for my books and meal plan on my own as financial aid did not cover it. My room was covered by not food. For a single semester the meal plan was over $3000.…

Campus populations are somewhat of a captive market, and schools have proven willing to allow corporations to move in and engage in outright predatory practices. Mandatory meal plans and huge markups on shitty food that you can’t avoid without leaving campus. A crappy personal pizza that costs twice what you could buy…

People joke about subsisting on ramen but having been somewhat food insecure for a semester and having had that as a dietary staple ... ugh.

Europeans need to drop the wide-eyed, innocent act. Oh, is that considered racist? We have no concept of that here. Yeah fucking right. Liars.
