Personal Hygiene is not an option...
By Melli (2000/10/05)I am tired of trying to understand human nature. I am tired of humans period. But what I am really tired of is people's little regard to personal hygiene. I could understand if you are homeless or insane and can't help but smell or not having a bathroom to wash up at. What I don't understand is the rest of you! How many times to I have to re-live this scenario...I go in to a public bathroom, which I hate, and wash my hands BEFORE I go potty. As I am standing there playing with the bubbles and the water, I watch in horror as yet another one of my esteemed colleagues (snicker) walks out of a stall, greets me, and proceeds to walk out of the restroom--WITHOUT EVEN PRETENDING TO WASH THEIR HANDS!!! I am disgusted that these individuals are roaming around, touching doorknobs, shaking hands, eating food. For the love of God please, at least pretend to wash your hands. Humor me, and just wet your hands! People, don't be alarmed, but these are the same people who are sorting that letter you just got from grandma and held up to your lips! Remember that postcard that your friend sent from France that you posted up in your office? Touched by these disgusting peed on hands! Now I know why people go nuts and wear gloves whenever they leave the house or why they wash their hands like 30 times in an hour. Our fellow humans are pigs. I have even seen a homeless person take the time to wash her hands after using the rest room. They are already dirty, but they still wash up.
Another thing that bugged me at work last night...Why do people from central Illinois have a southern accent thicker than that of my old friend Meg who was from deep in Mississippi? Just because you are from a southern part of a state it doesn't make you a southern belle. I doubt that residents of southern New York sound like Scarlatte O'Hara. Give it up, and don't make fun of my Big City Chicago accent! Freaks.
