Pet Peeve

I have a serious pet peeve and its not that Instanbul will not let you use your laptop while in the bathroom.

Its that so many people do not wash their hands when leaving the restroom. I was in the mall not too long ago and a man finished doing his business in one of the stalls, I was at one of the 4 sinks washing my hands when he walked out without washing his. As I walked out of the restroom the guy was several feet in front of me and happened to be walking in the same direction I was headed to meet back up with my wife, the next thing I know he walks up to his girlfriend and wrapped his arms around her. So I stopped. He was probably a high school age guy, so he was doing what a lot of teenage guys do best, feeling up his girlfriend in public. I kind of laughed to myself, I seriously wanted to walk over and ask the girl if she knew where her boyfriends hands had just been before he decided to come share the love.

A recent study claims that 90% of women wash their hands when leaving the restroom and only 75% of men wash their hands. I don’t know where they came up with their data but I would have to disagree based on personal observation of all them men who do their business and walk right out the door!

  1. Tardiness….if you are late too many times, we can’t be friends anymore. I believe that you think your time is more valuable than mine.

    Licking fingers at the table – it’s called a napkin folks

  2. I HATE to be micromanaged. Word to the wise. If I’m taking care of something, let me. Ask questions, all you want, but don’t go behind my back asking questions if you can’t ask them to my face. It won’t be hard. I’m not that ugly!

  4. @ Mandy I agree with both, not as much as the washing of the hands but close.

    @ Polly – I have to agree with you too!

  5. I HATE bad breath. How much energy does it take to keep mints, gum, mouthwash, or breath spray in your purse, pocket, or car? How do you not know when your breath stinks???? YACK. hate it.

  6. Yes yes yes.. I have to agree. Hand washing is a big one. 2nd would be not using turn signals.. holy crap that really annoys me.
