Rule #7 On How To Avoid The Flu

[Floogeldy]

When you go into a public restroom, do your business, flush the toilet, and wash your hands with soap and hot water, turn the water off at the sink while holding the paper towel with which you dried your hands.

Don't touch the faucet, hot, or cold knobs with your bare hands.

Thanks,

Floog

1. I use my foot to flush. Fuck touching that thing.

[Floogeldy]

4. Me too.

In a pinch, the elbow will work.

5. My rule....

Do not cough or sneeze into your hand. Use your shoulder. Why cough into your hand and then use that hand to spread the germs from that point on, until you wash your hands... (leaving your nasty germs on that sink as you mentioned).

[Floogeldy]

6. You misunderstand.

I'm talking about getting the flu FROM OTHER PEOPLE. If you already have the flu, fuck it.

11. oh I get ya...

I just try to share my rule with the infected others I run into so as to help keep myself healthy...

You have great advice though. :)

[Floogeldy]

21. You are a wonderful person.

7. Holding it until you get home is far more effective.

Adult diapers is a close second.

8. What's the difference between a cold and the flu?

I only ask because I don't know. :shrug:

[Floogeldy]

9. Huge difference.

Cold: Does not cause a fever. Stopped up nose. Appetite.

Flu: Fever, chills, aches, pains, dehydration, misery.

???????

10. what about a cold-flu hybrid?

Hey if we can have human-animal hybrids...

:shrug:

[Heidi]

12. OK. Then I only have a cold.

Never mind.

[Floogeldy]

13. gOOD.

dON'T dIE aNY tIME sOON.

[Heidi]

15. When I do die,

I hope you'll be around to remind everyone that dying is part of life. :)

[Floogeldy]

16. Me too.

And, promise to haunt me? Please?

:)

[Heidi]

18. Deal.

I'll be that scent of turpentine and paint thinner that hangs in the air when you're having a smoke. :evilgrin:

14. What about the doorknob?

Here's what you do:

Walk into the restroom. Scope out the paper towel dispensers. Use the restroom. Grab a big stack of paper towels and put them under your arm. Wash and soap up for at least 1 minute. Do not touch the knobs.

Use the paper towels to dry off. AND...use them to open the door knob.

If there is no trash can near the door....throw the paper towels on the floor.

[Floogeldy]

17. You are absolutely 100% correct.

I do that all of the time. Building maintenance engineers must have something to do, correct? :) It is for a good cause.

Thanks for the reminder, Beausoir.

PS: That's rule #10. ;)

[Beausoir]

20. Well, I don't mean to add to their work..I really don't.

Every washroom should have a trash can near the door.

It's not that hard to do.

If I can reach and toss the paper towels...I aim as best I can to get them into the basket.

19. touch nothing to which funk can adhere

and was your hands often.

People may accuse you of being OC, but you'll get sick less often.
