Collateral damage

in Reflections11 days ago

It wasn't long ago when the world was "in lockdown" because of the flu and one of the major priorities of governments and the World Health Organisation was educating people on how to "stay safe," the main focus being around hygiene. That's right, the authorities had to explain to people how to use good hygiene practices like washing hands after using the washroom and being covering mouths when coughing and sneezing. People had to be told that it was best practice to wash hands.



There's some disgusting people out there so I guess a little education around better hygiene is always welcome.

I read recently that only about 70% of people always wash their hands after using the bathroom.

That's a frightening statistic right? Imagine all the things people touch, the hands they shake, door handles they use and so on...and without washing their hands after wiping the asses. Fucken hell y'all! Anyway, that's a whole other matter, serious though it is...this post is about sneezing.

For a long time I've had a thing about sneezing, meaning it gives me the creeps.

To clarify though, it's not the act of sneezing itself, it's about when people sneeze but don't cover their mouth, *sneeze into a tissue. It fucken drives me nuts! You know what I mean right? You're in a room and someone let's out a massive sneeze with snot and spit, some 40,000 fine droplets containing respiratory pathogens, exploding into the air only to be inhaled by you...yep you, and every other poor fucker who happens to be within range.

If the thought of that doesn't make you cringe, you're bonkers.


Here's a slow motion video of sneezing and the extent of collateral damage


Have you ever witnessed poor hygiene habits like failure to wash hands or cover mouths during coughing or sneezing in the office or in public? Have you ever thought that whatever you touch could be covered in shit that has transferred from someone's hand who didn't wash them or had just sneezed into it? There's a trail of shit, snot and saliva that reaches far and wide you know...it's...well, it's fucken shit is what it is!

I see it all the time. You are washing your hands and someone breezes out of a cubicle and straight out the door. Fucking horrifying!

And that's how the fucken trail of shit starts! I can't help but thinking, you dirty fucken cunt, when I see that.

Same here, I think of the canisters, door handles... All the things they will then touch, doesn't bear thinking about!

"The Trail" goes everywhere...it takes circuitous paths but it ends up far and wide.

Never eat shared bowls of anything in the office or about is my view!

That's the golden rule!

Around 50% of the human pigs I see out here on the road skip the wash.

I always use the paper towel or foot to open the door when leaving. Nasty

Ugh, thats foul. So many people just dont even think about it

I wash my hands, and I sneeze into my sleeve or a tissue. I also work in a library. The restroom shares a wall with the office.

We know.

And we are horrified.

Yeah...it's pretty scary to know what's going on out there, people not washing up and all; I mean, it takes 30 seconds right? I don't understand why people don't feel they have the time - filthy pigs.

We also get serenaded by toddler songsters at least once a week. The little people like to sing while doing their business, apparently.

Haha, well that's the next generation of musical "stars" getting some practice...in the shitter where most of their future music will probably also belong.

No doubt lol

You guys have to really consider moving your office..lol.

Oooh gag! The world is a disgusting place. If you actually think about it, we just aren't safe at all. We can do everything within our power to remain healthy, but unless you live in a bubble, you're going to be touching things that a thousand other people have handled before you. I don't know what the stats are for those who don't wash regularly, but odds are, it's greater than we'd like.

Isn't it the job of parents and child rearers to instruct the young on sanitation and disease prevention?....leave it to the government to think they're doing an even half-assed job. lol, now where the hell did I leave my bubble??

I think the education is there, it happens (mostly) but some people just don't care. It's disgusting. Also, kids will follow the lead from parents and if they have bad habits.. well, so will the kids. Disgusting fuckers.

That's one of the reasons I rarely eat out! In my country that sort of thing will be a jailable offence. Every bathroom door will have a sensor and if you haven't washed your hands you won't get out.

Great idea, maybe a guillotine style thing above the door attached to a sensor which, when someone comes along who hasn't washed their hands, the fucker comes down and cuts them in half lengthwise. Then some AI bots can come and clean up the mess as I'm sure there'll be so many meat sacks piling up.

Crikey, looks like I chose exactly the right man as my chief executioner!:)

You did, my CV is pretty solid.

I still see people not washing their hands after WC, and this is disgusting. I do not care their health, but this might affect our health as well.

Totally disgusting and I agree, it's not like I give a shot about them, it's the damage their disgusting behaviour does to others that annoys me.

The wind/sneeze blew, the snot flew, and there you were, covered in goo.

I remember workin as a cleaner for a restaurant.

Let me explain something to ya, cleaning toilets AINT fun. Especially the ladies toilet after a Saturday night. You come in on a Sunday morning to FUCKIN MAYHEM. I won't go into it as it's vulgar....but the stuffs i've seen...worse than poop....

Men are not exempt from this shit either. Let me explain something to ya....when we miss...we MISS! And when we forget to flush...WE FORGET TO FLUSH. And when you get mad lads coming in the toilet one after the other with BARRELS of liquid to be unleashed onto/into the bog....listen...i did not know yellow could be so vibrant...

Hmm, yeah I can imagine that entire scenario to be quite unpleasant indeed; it makes we wonder why people can be such pigs though. Imagine what their houses look like!

Need me one of these grenade lighters! Thanks for reminding me!

Lol...that's not a grenade lighter, it's the real thing, (without the explosives and primer of course).

I must be honest, I rarely wash my hands in anything but luke warm water, why would I want to damage the ecosystem on my skin, most of the bacteria there form part of my bodies defence system, yet the sheeple during the scamdemic rushed to apply hand sanitiser slathering it all over? why? that was a fucking false flag! and don;t get me started on the fucking stupid wearing of face nappies.

Travelling a lot through the world's wastelands, I always laugh at my fellow travellers who still at every opportunity slather ani bac juice over their hands when they enter a restaurant? why? that ain't gonna protect you from the bugs on the chef's hands who has just had a drain blocking dump and gone straight back to the kitchen.

There are some dumb fuckers about

Yep, washing hands is everyone's responsibility; you make a good point about the "chef" scenario. Many dirty fuckers out there.

yes indeeedy!!

A bloody nice train of thoughts you've planted in my head this early morning 🙂😭😭

Yeah, it's true though, there's loads of filthy assholes out there spreading germs.

Hi Galen; as I am a bit late, I have been reading the comments and I agree very much with avdesing. I think that as in many facets of life, there is a lack of education and respect for other people.
Greetings.

Funny, a lack of education and yet humans have "advanced so far?" I think it's apathy not a lack of education.

There may be apathy, I do not dispute that. However, I don't think it costs so much to wash one's hands, I think there is a lack of education (education is learned) and a lack of respect for others (respect is also learned).

And I don't think we are going to discuss the fact that there are a lot of pigs in the world.

Yeah, there's loads of entitled, ignorant assholes in the world, it's full of them and people like that don't put much thought to anyone but themselves.

Now I'm not going to point anything out 😀, I totally agree that the world is full of ignorant assholes. I just hope that tomorrow I meet as few of them as possible, it's not that much to ask (or maybe it is? ).

Good luck, I hope you meet very few, or none...but I think you will. They're everywhere.

You are starting the day, I also wish you the same. Best of luck.

When we are camping and we visit the facilities we often see people that just walk right out and don't bother washing their hands. I know you were in that stall for at least ten minutes buddy... There is no way you don't need to be washing your hands! It's definitely gross. Working in a school I tend to pick up all kinds of germs through the day. I have gotten in the habit of using hand sanitizer before I sit down at my desk anytime I return to my office. It's not fool proof, but it helps.

It's a hard situation to avoid really, however with some effort a person can minimise the risks...but when some asshole explodes a sneeze in a room...not much one can do.

Indeed. I remember when I first started working in the school system I got so sick. I was suddenly exposed to so many new germs. I guess it is pretty typical for new teachers and education employees.

We have immune systems for a reason but it can take time for the body to adjust to new and different things I guess.

For sure!

The pandemic changed us. There are those who have been traumatized by the diseases. It is a fact that many people died who would have been alive if it had not been for COVID. Even very young people.

Hygiene is health, a simple rule that not everyone follows.

I had a neighbor who would blow his nose directly with his hands and then "wipe" his hands on the wall. Many times I called his attention, but he never paid attention. Luckily for me, he moved away.

There's so many disgusting people out there, some out of ignorance and some intentional I guess; lucky for you that disgusting pig moved away from your location huh?

Yes, there are people with bad habits and I don't like that at all, and not only the ones you mention but more, that maybe are not so invasive but they bother me, eating with the mouth open and others that are more disgusting.

I think a lot of it depends on education and respect for others... if there were those two components we wouldn't have to put up with such things.

There are some very dirty people!

Very dirty fuckers out there for sure. Disgusting.

Yes, there are! Many times it even makes me nauseous....

of course, there are all kinds, there are some very correct people but I always find a nasty one.

I wash my had everytime I go to bathroom and even I am keeping napkin on my month while coughing or sneezing. Thanks for sharing this sir !

That seems like a sensible course of action. Well done.
