is it me or is this just gross? My mother has always done this when going through papers, looking at papers, etc.
I noticed that a lot of teachers do this too when passing out papers to kids or like in nursing school, the instructor did this. Am I just too picky??
What does everyone think of this?
This has been a pet peeve of mine for a long time. Especially at Wal-mart where the cashiers have to keep the merry-go-round of bags open. I will open the bags for the cashier just to avoid getting a bag that was "licked via finger".
I use SortKwik or Tacky Finger fingertip moistener or even lotion to avoid the fingers in the mouth.
Considering everything that we are exposed to every day - whether we are aware of it or not, I never gave it a second thought.
Do you handle money? Through how many unwashed hands have all of those bill and coins you are carrying around passed?
Here's another one for you: doorknobs.
That's why God gave us an incredible immune system.

I do it but have tried to change this habit. I find my finger in my mouth and think, where have my hands been and gee I hope I washed my hands good. I hate when people lick their fingers when preparing cups for foutain drinks. I've refused cups that people have done this, yuk other peoples saliva on my drink cup.
