Eww--This Has Got To Be Gross

Computer keyboards can be filthy too

nova I agree and what gets me is parents taking the kids out when they're vomiting and have diahrea, I know if I was sick I wouldn't want someone biggar than me hauling me out shopping.

One of the major grocery stores in my area (Kroger) provides a big container of disinfectant wipes at the door for people to use on the cart. I do use one when I get a cart because of all the sick kids I see being pushed around by parents who apparently never think of what germs their kids are spreading to others.

Door knobs are bad, even sink knobs... that's why some places have those motion-op faucets that turn on when you stand in front of them and the paper towel dispensers that eject paper towels when you stand in front of them. Of course you still have to touch the door, but that can be done with your back lol. I've heard horrid things about desks - like a desk at work? The computer keyboard, monitor, tower, in and out box, file cabinets... hmph. I had a container of lysol wipes under the desk when I worked and I still shudder to think of how dirty the desk was.

yup

Makes me think I should wash out my tote bag soon...LOL

Like I said, I've never been a germaphobic. I sometimes wonder if the reasons for so much more germs and bacteria, or at least stronger strains due to people being a bit nutcasy about antibacterial products--it's making people more sensitive to germs and bacteria,don't you think?

I didn't mean to write that sounding as tho I meant you personally. I thought about that later in the evening and thought I should have been more specific...I meant "you" as in everyone. Us, all of us, everyone...we have all been healthy while carrying those unbeknownst germs around! I'm not germaphobic either.. I just do the best I can to stay away from the germs but am not obsessed with it. I traveled alot years ago with my 2 little kids...in truck stop, rest areas and other "overly public" facilities alot... cleanliness was a must during those times and it just stuck with me all these years. I would have loved to have the antibaterial stuff and the wet wipes and stuff like that back then! But you have the opposite point of mine...mine is since we all do all we can to stay away from the germs so we are healthy, the opposite being your point of... maybe we are to healthy and might be overly sensitive to germs...makeing use more susceptible to the germs of H1N1....could be very likely. Guess we have to choose the better of 2 evils and hope for the best but plan for the worst!

I do happen to have a cell phone but ironically never use it and never take it with me..just not into cell phones--I have it though for emergency usage only I'm lucky that I use a cloth tote bag as a handbag, so at least I can wash that out from time to time

I actually remember hearing somewhere that there's a lot of germs/bacteria and all kind of nasties on....gulp....a computer keyboard

Noooo!! I had not thought about that! That's it I'm going to clean it now...Eww!

I try never to put my handbag on public restroom floor, not so much for fear of germs...which never thought of before seeing this video but a fear that someone could reach in and under and steal the purse/handbag..I know silly right?

well as I said, I've never been a germphobic type person. I never use anti-bacterial type cleansers or soaps as I think that's the reason people are more sensitive now to germs and bacteria....still I did think it was "interesting" what kind of germs might be in one's purse/pocketbook.

LOL--yeah kind of aware how gross public bathroom floors can be--that's why I try to hang up my tote bag on a hook

I can't help thinking though that people have gotten a bit germphobic in general though especially with all the anti-bacterial products to disinfect things

ROFL.. I can see that too..

When I think of all the people I see walking on the street with cell phones glued to their ear, it makes you wonder if they are aware how dirty they are

I've never shared make-up with anyone..LOL. Good thing you threw away that makeup sponge

It does seem people have forgotten some very basics like hand washing, doesn't it?

Yes, some people got a bit fanatical about germs and bacteria thing with using so many antibacterial products, and bleach? Ick...I can't even stand the smell of it--did you know the active ingredient, chlorine isn't exactly healthy to use? So your friend may have been affected to inhaling the bleach all the time as well.

No doubt you are right. She is doing much better now that she has quit using bleach but she will never be completely normal.

I've used a cloth tote bag for eons and can sling it over my shoulder like a shoulder bag,and also can clean/wash it out from time to time

I sure wish I had a doctor like him...LOL

I sure wish I could tape his show...my DVD/VCR though doesn't have a TV tuner in it...the manual says there is a way to hook it up, I guess directly in my converter box (have no cable)--but never got around to doing that--I have so many things hooked up in the back of my entertainment center it's not funny

Sounds like the back of my computer, pye! I decided to move my computer into a much less used room of my house...took one look at the back of it, and said "self, that is a job for your son to do when he comes home." There must be a thousand wires back there, with a bunch of goodies I never use, like video cam, microphone, Majic Jack, etc.! Would you like me to send you the link for his daily e-mails? Cheers!

That's a brilliant idea about cleaning off the toilet seat with a sanitizer! Ever notice women's public bathrooms are dirtier then men's? In the past, when I'd be out and on those rare occasions the women's bathrooms were closed off for some reason say in the library, I'd used the men's room...it was cleaner!!!

LOL--I take it you're not an Oprah fan then? Hate to say it I am...LOL. Well for years I've been using cloth tote bags that I can sling on my shoulder so that means I can wash them out without a problem--come to think of it...could stand to wash it out soon

I never even heard of any of those diseases before that video and yes, who would think one could have such germs/bacteria in something simple like a handbag or cell phone
