tallying up my disgust
At various times this year I've started an informal tally. Often, my methodology breaks for reasons that I will outline here, but first you might want to know what I'm actually keeping track of.
Few people wash their hands after doing their business. Considering these people step out into the world, hands unwashed, shaking my hand and making my food disturbs me.
So I've mentally counted who leaves the restroom directly, without cleaning their hands. And the hangup: should I include myself — I'm not guilty of skipping the sink, ever — in the tally once or every single time?
After working this kink out, with your help, expect a counter on the right. And disgust on your face and mine.
