You're killing people and you don't even know it. (PSA)

STOP FLINGING BACTERIA AROUND with your WET HANDS (!)

We take a break in our regular programming to bring you some very important information, and also to make me feel like I contributed to the advancement of humanity:

I was in a public washroom the other day, and I witnessed the most atrocious act of manslaughter I have ever encountered (on that day):

A guy washing his hands pressed the soap dispenser with his dry, dirty ass fingers, turned on the water with his other dirty ass hand, and then proceeded to rub his hands under the running water for a maximum of 5 seconds, and used his "cleaned" hands to turn off the tap, which his dirty fingers touched. He then sauntered out of the washroom doors without attempting to dry his hands.

There are several problems with this:

  1. You're gonna end up eating some shit like E. Coli and die from AIDS.
  2. You're gonna make people who touch shit you've touched come into contact with E. Coli and die from AIDS.
  3. You're gonna kill babies who don't have properly-developed immune systems cuz they're gonna suck their fingers after they touch something that you've touched.

Luckily, there is an easy fix.

HOW TO: prevent yourself from killing other people

Might I also add that to turn the tap off for the final time (the first being before you lather with soap), use a paper towel to avoid coming into contact with the dirty tap.

KEY POINTS:

  1. Wet hands before applying soap.
  2. Rub hands with soap with hella force and for a long amount of time before rinsing them under water.
  3. Dry your hands: bacteria thrives in moist environments.

That's it for now. Have a good day!
