Hi,
It is funny what some people think is an average day. This list must have been compiled by asking female office workers who regularly fly interstate, stay in hotels and visit playgrounds on their way from the gym to the shopping mall.
In any case, the point is there are some grossly germ-infested objects out there.
I have heard that bowls of snack food in night clubs and bars contain high levels of germs - mainly from men not washing their hands after using the bathroom.
It really makes you want to carry around a pack of wet-wipes.

Geoff,
I truly hate it and find it appalling how men cannot wash their hands after using the bathroom, obviously these men were dragged up and not raised up! That is so sick! Thanks for the reminder
