What little thing would you make illegal just because it pisses you off?

Have you noticed how many restrooms now have trash cans located next to the exit doors? This is so you can use your paper towel to grab the handle of the door as you leave, so as not to expose your just washed hands to the germs of people who have just used the facility and DID NOT WASH their hands afterwards. I cannot tell you how many times I have witnessed this in the men's rooms.

I'm not sure which is worse, those who don't wash their hands, or those who dry them without washing them. Get the idea? Sadly, the second happens way too many times.

Always, always use the paper towel to open the door.

About gum chewing. I suffer from dry mouth and it's incredibly uncomfortable (not to mention all the possible dental/oral problems it can cause). I chew gum virtually all day (I'd rather not have hard candy/mints melting in my mouth.) I have to chew gum to stimulate saliva production. I don't chew like a cow, I don't smack and I don't spit my gum out on the floor/ground. Sometimes gum chewers are not being un-professional, rude, crass or disgusting but rather suffer from a medical condition and don't have a choice.

I discovered this when I read 'Mutant Message Down Under' (it's about one woman's journey through the Australian outback)- you can place a pebble in your mouth when you are suffering from dry mouth and your body will quickly start to produce saliva. Maybe you could try this instead of chewing gum all day and it may prevent any type of sugar related teeth problems?

Hey, sir! I'll look into the pebble thing. (I'll probably accidentally choke on it.) I chew sugarless gum and I do have sugarless candy and mints that help with saliva production. It's not fun having to chew all day, every day and I'll have a candy/mint every now and then.

I just want to say again, not all gum chewers are unprofessional, uncouth or repulsive. Some gum chewers have a medical condition that can't be helped. (I'm not saying you said this krf.)

I was just trying to read a news story on MSN. I had to keep going to the next page because they only wrote maybe 2 sentences on one page. I went through about 20 pages, and gave up on the story, and clicked out of it. Stop doing that dumb sh!t!!

If my mouth is dry I can also just think about those Jolly Rancher Apple Green hard candies and I instantly get saliva. Gotta go now and find a bib.....

No Jolly Ranchers in the house! Ack. I'm off to get a pickle! (That doesn't sound right.)

I despise that! I have been on some site that have a Click To Read More thing and no. I don't click and say buh-bye.

 

[pegasus216]

I just get mad, and don't even want to know the story any more.

I totally agree with you. I make a note of the websites that do that crud and don't go there anymore.

Right there with you! If it ain't on one page, I won't click forward.

Re; clickbait titles. When I was writing for that news site, this became a real issue for me. I would write good, informative titles and then my editor would replace it with a clickbaity one. It's one of the reasons I no longer write for them.

Ewwww

I heard a toilet flush last night and a guy on one of the wards immediately came out of a washroom (he was a health care worker).

Now either he washes his hands first, then immediately flushes the toilet and leaves, but I somehow doubted it. I wanted to direct him to the alcohol hand sanitizer on the wall - he should know better.

The unnecessary apostrophe. You know the one's I mean.

The unnecessary apostrophe. You know the one's I mean.

THE APOSTROPHE
Playwright George Bernard Shaw thought apostrophes were unnecessary and declined to use them in words like don’t, doesn’t, I’ve, that’s, and weren’t. He did use them for words like I’ll and he’ll, where the apostropheless version might cause confusion. He made clear his disdain for the little marks in his Notes on the Clarendon Press Rules for Compositors and Readers, where he said, “There is not the faintest reason for persisting in the ugly and silly trick of peppering pages with these uncouth bacilli.”

Bacilli~~~ ha.

Autocorrect that thinks it knows better what ducking words I want to use in every pile of shut sentence.

i don't understand why anyone even uses autocorrect lol. now voice to text, there's something that's extremely frustrating. sometimes the crap it comes up with isn't even close to what i said.
