So You Think The Hotel Story Was Gross............

BBQMAN

I'm at Sam Club (again!) yesterday to pick up a few things.

So all that coffee I drank that morning starts to take effect and I head to the men's room (much to Sam's credit usually very clean)

So here is the scenario:

We got one guy taking a whizzle, and another in a stall peeling the paint off the walls. I'm talking about a real barn-burner here, must have had too many ABT's for dinner or something!

So I step up to the urinal to "do my thing". The shizzle stall door opens, and Mr. Paint Peeler heads straight for the exit door- grabbing the handle on the way out of course! Mad

To add insult to injury, Mr.Whizzle does the exact same thing!!!!!!

Hey fellas, how about that thing bolted to the wall called a sink, soap and water?

I generally touch nothing (other than myself! Shocked

) in public restrooms. Before I "take care of business" I put some paper towels in my pocket. I turn on the sink, wash my hands, and then leave the water running. Take out the clean paper towels, dry my hands first, then turn off the water- with the paper towels. At this point I grab the door handle with towels on the way out- or better yet let someone else do it.

My step-son used to think I had OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) tossed in with some A-retentive quirks. Then I explained how this whole things works. Now he uses the paper towels too! Wink

Part two of the story: the market this year was able to afford a port-a-let. I see a lot of my fellow vendors using it (who wouldn't). Then they exit and go back to work after having a cigarrette or two.

Guess who has the only hand washing sink at the market?

Be careful out there- it's a very gross world.............................

Side Note: I'm very particular about how and what I touch these days. Our catering clients like the fact that our set-up and methods are so clean.

Being careful has also earned me no colds or flu for the past number of years. Wink

That�s not surprising to me at least. I read sometime back that 1 in 6 people don�t wash after going to the bathroom and a later report indicated that 1 in 3 men don�t.

BBQ MAN looks like you confirmed the statistics.

That story kinda reminds me of a joke I hear one time....

Two guys standing at the urinals taking a whiz. One finishes up and goes over to the sinks and start washing his hands. The other guy finishes up and walks right by the sinks and is heading for the door. The guy washing his hands says "Hey you know, where I come from we were taught to wash our hands after usning the bathroom." The other guy stops and says, "Is that right? Where I come from we were taught to not piss on our hands." Shocked

At the Sam's I use the least and not the one I have our scripts filled at I saw the pharmacist's assistant come away from the urinal and straight out the door.

After I finished and washed my hands, I went out to the pharmacy and spoke to the pharmacist.

"Hello Sir, how can I help you?"

"Could you tell me if you have a hand washing station in the pharmacy?"

"No Sir, we don't!"

"Well perhaps you need to teach your staff to wash their hands after going to the bathroom, and before they handle other peoples meds?"

After a little toing and frowing, the 30 something assistant got his ass handed to him.

Took the wife & another couple out for pizza & a little vino the other night. When we got there a couple previous buds wanted to say adios so I told the others to order & went T.C.O.Buss. While in there chef boy-ardee came in went to a booth, some startling noises came out then a flush. He went to the mirror combed his greasy looking hair then left. At the table I asked the waitress if they had started our pie yet & she said he was tossing it now..I sat there for a couple drinking my wine -thinking, I KNOW they have wash sinks in the kitchen,& I KNOW how hot a pizza oven gets but--- In the end rather than ruin the others appitite I told them I was suddenly in the mood for some boiled shrimp, paid the tab (reluctantly) and left..

Being in the food industry I can say that if I so much as have to touch my nose I wash my hands. It really grosses me out to see or hear of that sort of stuff, thats why I like to eat at home...

As for washing after you go to the pee pot... Hey you kiss your wife dont ya..?? Shocked
