Change received this morning...

[FromTexas]

So, I pay for my stuff at the store this morning and I received my change. A dollar bill is handed to me and immediately gushes slightly to my hand. I look down and it looks like someone has blown their nose in the dollar bill. I immediately hand it back and say make new change from the bottom of the stack and I will be back in a sec. I get the new change after washing my hands.

However, I knew Kwillia needed this information. So, Kwillia, you handle the cash when you pay with it and make change? Are you washing your hands everytime you touch money that so many people have touched and done things you don't know to?

Also, how the hell did someone take this dollar bill (obviously recent.. it was wet) and not notice when they put it in the drawer?! Who blows their nose in a dollar bill?!?! So.. thought I would share. I hope this is early enough for the lunch crowd to see it all.

I bet it was at WalMart, wasn't it? I cannot tell you how many times I have been there when the cashiers are eating, drinking and god knows what else behind their counters And a lot of folks these days have artificial nails - THOSE REALLY LONG ATROCIOUS ONES!!! Who knows what kind of lovely snot goblins and their kin make home under there before they transfer to tender!

Always keep antibacterial solutions with you!

You sure someone didn't blow that dollar??

ewww that is a gross thought

FT, first off... I am not a germ phobic... Secondly, I wash my hands with soap and water frequently because it does reduce the amount and variation of germs one picks up throughout the day. The other piece to this "how can I help reduce the odds of picking up FT's cold after handling his dollas that he used as snot rags" puzzle is to not touch your face or enter any oraface with your grimy hands that begin accumulating little nasties the moment you finished washing them. Got it...

OK, thanks. The cannoli I just took out of the bag went in the trash. EEwwwwww, snotdollar.

If it's true that your bathroom is actually cleaner than your kitchen, imagine what public places are like... money, condiment and napkin bins, restaurant seats, shopping carts, hangers in stores, handles in the frozen food section, the pharmacies alone in WalMarts and Targets and such - just the things people touch while waiting for scripts...

That is just plain nasty

Kwillia, I was just helping you out. After all, a man handling his trouser snake which he probably cleaned that very morning should be much less offensive (if they forget to wash their hands) than the dollar bill which has been touched by hundreds of people who have touched their trouser snakes, wiped their rears, coughed up phlegm into their hands, and done other assorted deeds who have touched that one dollar bill. This is just a PSA to help out.















And it has absolutely nothing with spreading around the grossed out feeling I had grabbing that dollar bill this morning because misery loves company.. not one bit... scout's honor (boilerplate notice: I am not a scout).

Admit it, you are feeling guilty because you are one of them that pees, shakes, tucks, zips then leaves bypassing the "wash" step altogether.

My ex husband use to wash his hands BEFORE using the bathroom. Reason being, his "unit" had been in his pants and was clean and he wanted to have clean hands before touching it.

He was good for a laugh once in a while.

This is why the nearly lost art of snot rockets should be brought back. No fuss, no muss, no snotty material left over.

Note to self: cross FT off of lunch invite list.
