i think the world is hygiene obsessive.
LOL to a point. That's what your immune system is for. However, it's no excuse for people not even doing the basics. That's why I pretty much refuse to shake hands of people here - it's vile. [b'>And if I see people in the bathroom going to leave without washing I normally do say something.[/b'>
And if I left the bathroom without washing my hands and you made a comment I would tell you to mind your own *#@& business!
I was once in Liverpool Street Station in London, where a radio station was broadcasting live and had set up cameras in the sink area of the men's and women's toilets. If they spotted someone leaving without washing their hands, they would announce it over the PA system, e.g. "EXCUSE ME, THE LADY IN THE RED COAT AND BLACK BERET WHO JUST LEFT THE TOILETS!" (woman looks around, to see who is watching her/calling her) "YES, YOU, NEXT TO THE NEWSAGENT'S" (now all the people around her are looking at her) YOU LEFT WITHOUT WASHING YOUR HANDS, DIDN'T YOUR MOTHER TEACH YOU ANYTHING?"
Maybe a similar system for the malls? ;)
