Germaphobic Society

I realize the subject of germs is nothing new. I know the medical importance of washing my hands. I know that anti-bacterial products are the new " miracle water" and I know that there are germs on my keyboard as I type this article....

But, as always I have to share my simple observations with you.

I find it funny that if I sneeze unexpectedly the people around me are grossed out immediately! It's as if I did it on purpose because I enjoy spreading germs. Really? I mean sometimes a breeze of pollution passes by and without prior notice out slips a sneeze. Sorry, Excuse Me, It won't happen again....blah,blah,blah..get over it. Maybe someone should invent individual sneeze guards for the person on the go? I see people wearing surgical masks everywhere for what I suppose is to protect them and me from germs. I have to admit when I see someone in a surgical mask (outside of the hospital) I do clear a path, because I have a feeling they've got something really bad. The masks serve their purpose I guess but I wish they came in more colors. You know what I am talking about. White, green, even blue, should be hospital issued. I want my mask to compliment my outfit! Just a thought...

What about this sneezing into the inside of my elbow thing. I understand how this idea came about, but seriously, sneezing on myself has always been gross and now it's acceptable, even considerate behavior. What? Unless I am wearing disposable sleeves that I can rip off and throw away, I now, truly am, a walking germ! For the rest of the day I am literally wearing every sneeze I have on my blouse. Do you really want to hug me? Do you want me to hold your baby? I guess I could roll up my sleeve, that would make me all clean again, right? Noooooooooooooooooooooo! Here's a thought, carry tissues people! Man prints, woman prints, all colors to match my outfits, why tissues even come in camouflage. I blow my nose, throw the tissue in the garbage, wash my hands, and I'm good to go on with my day. I enter the germ infested world clean, no sticky blouse for me! Hug me, hand me that baby cause I threw my germs in the garbage and walked away.

It's just a thought , but if you are looking at your sleeves right now...I Got Ya Thinking!

HA-CHOO!
