stop reading dirty magazines in the dr.'s waiting room

[mopaul]

notice when you go to the dr.'s office for an appointment, people sign in then immediatley start grabbing magazines off the rack.
EXCUSE ME? every sick person in the county has handled those magazines, and every one of them has some sort of virus or germ, hell they go there cause they are sick. how dumb to you have to be to grab those filthy things? don't touch em. you'll get a virulent disease. if you must read while waiting, bring your own magazine or book.

and another great germ spreader....school kids. how filthy are these things? what is the greatest place to incubate and spread deadly viruses? schools. my solution? well....i ain't got one.
just saying. i'm not a germ freak, but i do like to avoid getting someone else's flu germs.

1. Sorry, pal, but you sure sound like a germ freak

to me, lol! Germs are everywhere, you can't avoid them unless you go around with rubber gloves and a mask on or in a plastic bubble all your life.

2. Germs and kids

Our two kids were in a Montessori school last year. They (and we) were sick almost all the time. Ear infections too, of course. We moved them to a home daycare and instantly everyone got better.

3. Money

Currency is one of the biggest means of spreading germs that their is.

I had never thought about the "dirty" (funny) magazines but come to think of it what about the pen at the window?

:scared:

You should make it a habit to wash your hands several times a day (and no I am not a germ freak or obsessive compulsive) especially before eating and after handling currency (like at lunch time).

Remember to say your ABC's to make sure your thouroughly cleaned your hands and the song part at the end is not required.

5. yup

money is definately filthy. Ever spend a whole day working the register at a store? If you don't wash your hands periodically, at the end of the night your hands will be black from all the schmutz on the dollar bills.

Same thing happens at Casinos when you handle the quarters.

4. aslong as you wash your hands whats the problem

When i go out i make it a habit to not get in contact with my hands at all until i got home and washd them.. unless you got wounds or something what does it matter aslong as you dont bite your nails etc,
then go home and wash them

6. Of course the real problem is that you pick your nose while

you are reading them, thus spreading those nice germs in the perfect medium for its growth and health.
