Sweat alone is water-soluble. Most places that get sweaty also get greasy and/or are bacteria factories because they are nooks and crannies that hold the moisture and are dark and warm. Legs don’t hold the wetness and have good airflow. They don’t get smelly or greasy. Even without shaving or exfoliating, they lose a…

For drying it after a shower too?

Because water is an incredibly effective solvent (except for dissolving oil, which is great, because my skin makes oil for a reason). If you don’t mean sterile, but not having any dirt detectable by sight, smell, or touch and being free from any skin infections or issues related to hygiene doesn’t count as clean, what…

But the fact that germs are everywhere just means that you’re never going to be sterile anyway. The point of cleaning isn’t to kill germs (soap doesn’t really do that) but to keep grime from building up to the point where it becomes a refuge/food source for germs to multiply out of control. Water alone is already…

Me. And I don’t even wash my legs!

Yes?

I am, in most respects, a pretty dirty person. I don’t wash my legs and almost never sweep. And yet, I would never consider sleeping in a bed without a flat sheet. I don’t even agree with sleeping on a regular, non-pullout couch without putting sheets on.

If it’s working for you, great!. But even if you’re clean, you’re still shedding skin cells and your bits are still producing excretions. In damper climates, that can lead to funk in a hurry. I find I need to wash my towel every 1-2 uses.

I use a new one every shower, because I dry my bits pretty thoroughly and also have long hair that gets the towel pretty soaked, and I find they start to smell easily. My husband uses his 4-5 times and doesn’t have a problem.

I don’t wipe with my legs, nor use them to open doorknobs, handle food, or grasp other people’s legs to greet them.

I don’t wash my legs but do wash the middle of my back with a facecloth and a sort of flossing motion. I certainly don’t care if others do or don’t. I just do it because I get occasional breakouts there and trade coconut-oil backrubs with my husband. Plus, wearing a large bra size, the wide and tight bra band can trap…

I’ve just lately started deliberately washing behind my ears because a hormonal change has made me more oily and I noticed the arms of my glasses got a smell if I don’t. But I also don’t wash my hair nearly as often as I shower, because my hair has oddly gotten drier. Before these new developments, though, I figured I…

Because it’s terrible for your skin.

I actually like the look of that, but please tell me those were not the homeowners’ records?!

I thought it might be if they had a history of rivalry. Once I read that they were friends, I disappointedly admitted it was clearly nothing.

I’m Canadian and (in my province, at least) servers have the same minimum wage as everyone else. I generally tip 20%. 25-30% for excellent service or an unusually small meal cost for the amount of work. 15 % is for really bare-bones service. Mistakes that are sincerely apologized for don’t lower the tip. Service that…

That’s not a potato bug; that’s a sow bug.

Canadian, but I guarantee there are a lot of insulated and forcefully, willfully ignorant people who grew up in both our countries yet manage to keep this idea from their brains.

Not crochet.
