On time when we were in an Acapulco restaurant the waiter wipes our glasses, then wiped his brow with the same towel. ugh

If people don't care about washing, they don't care which handle they use. We always carry sanitary wipes and use them everywhere. Some stores have begun supplying customers with wipes at the entrance.

Hey that's no joke. When I was working for a local health department, our public health lab ran swab tests on restaurant bathroom door handles and found e Coli bacteria (human fecal bacteria) on them. Nice, huh! I always use a piece of paper towel to open a door and if there are no towels, I use one finger at the bottom of the handle where people tend not to grab the handle. Paranoid and a little Type A'ish perhaps, but there's enough contamination in our environment without literally reaching for this one.

I have read an article about 6 months ago that says people who grew up biting their nails get sick less often than those who don't since they are exposed to all kinds of germs from an early age.

Good point!
A few months back I read an article (I think it was in CR), that the air in most restaurant bathrooms is the dirtiest of all rooms. They then went on to say that all air blowers used in bathrooms just pull air in from the bottom of the blower inside the bathroom and not from the outside!
I stopped using air dryers when I looked under a couple of blowers and saw the intake grille.
Since that day, I only use paper towels.

That’s why hotels should offer two tv remotes.

I bought an "Industrial-sized" package (about 1,000) of "Moist Wet Wipe Towelettes" on Amazon for $20.00(about 2 cents a piece). . .And, keep them in the kitchen and each bathroom (for guests); and, in each car. . .Also, I keep a small "bundle" in each camera bag; and, each piece of luggage (especially the "carry-on"). . .They're not only for "Health & Safety reasons;" but, also for handy "wipe downs" of camera; lenses, etc. . .And, anything else that "gets grubby" in every-day activities.
They have become one of the "handiest" items [Pun intended!] in my tool kits . . .<smile>

The Cartoon carries a Health/Safety message that the Government chooses to ignore.
When did it become the Government's responsibility to make sure people wash their hands?? Doesn't the Government already intrude far too much into our personal lives?? What happened to personal responsibility for the consequences of one's actions? How much more will we abdicate our personal liberties to the Government in the Faustian bargain we undertake when we give them authority over us in the vain hope that they will somehow improve our lives by our doing so? Hasn't worked yet...

Could very well be. I bit mine until I was in the 7th. or 8th. grade. I quit when I became aware of the opposite sex.
