I have never washed my hands as much as I did when I was a bank teller. Money is nasty. I can't even tell you how many times I found/received money with blood on it. 😷🤢
So for science fair, some kid took samples from all over the school to see which had the grossest areas. Like what would grow the most nasty shit.
Anyway it wasn't the bathrooms. That's what I keep thinking as I continue to read this thread.
Was it the door knob, elevator button, or a stairwell handrail? I remember seeing or doing this experiemet once, and those were the danger zones.
I also saw a blacklight experiement, on stairway and escalator handrails, within the LA Metro Subway Station. I refuse to touch those things now.
Refuse!
rosiebear nailed it - the water fountain. I told my kid to never touch that thing again. It was so nasty. The floor of the cafeteria was bad too. The bathrooms were actually the least disgusting of probably 15 things.
We (PTA) actually just had newer water fountains installed that will fill water bottles and apparently those aren't horrifyingly disgusting, which I guess makes sense. The handles are probably still not great but it has a push button at the top and the water fill part shouldnt touch anything but people are gross so they probably mash their water bottles all around that instead of avoiding it.

Or how she wanted to host an exchange student and use the stipend she'd receive for the student's needs (after assuming the student would receive transportation and free lunch assistance) to help finance her house renovations.
And then she had the thread deleted after people told her she was an asshole.

I work at school and fill up my water bottle using the fountain daily. I always thought the water from the sink in our office tasted funny. I suppose I'll just go with the sink now!
I do want to see the overlap between people who are grossed out about non-dish items in the dishwasher, and people who use a disgusting dish sponge.
I microwave my disgusting dish sponges for 1 minute. All grossness killed. I would probably do the same with a pouf if I used one to bathe, but I think those things are disgusting.
I am not grossed out by non-dish items in the dishwasher if they are being washed separately.
I wash my hands for 30-40 seconds every time I wash them in my home or in public.
I don't think anyone wants to see the Venn Diagram for pathogens that are on your asshole and pathogens on your dirty dishes.
I used to work in the lab at a water treatment plant. The amount of acceptable fecal coliform in water will gross people out along with everything else that is allowed to be in public drinking water.

My ILs are big fans of reusing the same wet dishcloth to wipe counters, tables, etc., for a day or so and keeping it hanging over the faucet. Bacterial breeding ground! No! They think I am a weirdo because i use a new dishcloth each time.
Also I didn't want to just waltz in here like nothing's happened-I've read the entire thread and wanted to apologize for my part in any of the many wrongdoings noted in this thread-whether it was a "like", an insensitive or cruel comment or a mean girdling pile on.

This needs to get more attention. She's up on my list with @majorwife, who has said some bullshit regarding infertility. And NQB herself went though it so it was even more appalling. I will never understand how some of you can go along your merry way with some of these posters after some shit like that.
I personally think she is cracked and often wonder how the hell she is a lawyer. Like @kirkette said, NQB was a major contributor to the bs that Kirkette was mean and scary. She got that ball rolling and then just walked away like she had no part in it.
She also posted on the Disney board about her and her husband leaving the toddler son (son -#2) In the hotel room to go watch fireworks on the beach.

I think that covered everything.
I do the "sing happy birthday in your head twice" thing when I wash my hands, and then add on a little extra for good measure. I hope that's a legitimate timing method.

Not anymore. I just know the method I use takes that long. But yes that is what the CDC recs

"DH bought Ben a light saber and he played with kids who also had light sabers. We got back to the room around 9 but left a sleeping baby at 9:30 to go check out the fireworks on the beach outside our room. Unfortunately we could mostly just hear them and not see them. No surprise it was hard to sleep after all that excitement so we watched some Disney Junior and finally went to sleep at around 10.

Now I'm going to count to 40 seconds every time. My husband was in the hospital recently for something unrelated, but tested positive for E coli and they did not play. Everyone who came into the room had to gown up and wash with soap and water when leaving. Even nutrition when delivering or picking up a tray, or the aides who came to press the stop button on the IV when it was done. Since I was there 12-14 hours a day, I basically sat around in the equivalent of a trash bag.

I'm reading this as the fireworks were on the beach, but they stepped outside their room to watch them. Like on a patio? Is that not what happened? I admittedly didn't read the thread.
