It's sad that people are so content to be disgusting slobs,....Not just truckers, but just about anywhere you go these days, people are filthy animals.
Some truckers are by far the worst offenders though.

haha, just look at the girl's bathroom seats. It's worse than the men's bathroom.....I have a theory... methinks some people put the paper towel down on the terlet seat when they take a crap, when the business doesn't provide the wax paper ***-gaskets. Maybe they think it's better than lining the seat with terlet paper because it's thicker.

Lord have mercy..... is everyone potty trained by a pack of wild dogs these days????
I swear, the more I see of today's "New World" the happier I am that my personal clock is winding down. I'm gonna have inscribed on my tombstone... "Had Enough, Gone Home".

Actually wild dogs are better behaved.Lord have mercy..... is everyone potty trained by a pack of wild dogs these days????
This one's been hanging out here for the past few days. It acts like it owns the place. But it's a nice dog so the other night when it was unexpectedly cold, I let it sleep in the half-heated garage. In the morning when I put it back outside, it hadn't pooped or peed anywhere in the garage, meaning that even a stray dog is more civilized than some people.
Looks like Duck might have another dog.
As for handwashing, yes, I do wash my hands, but no more during cold/flu season than any other time. I do not have or use hand sanitizer.
There are healthy bacteria on the skin that protects from bad bacteria. Overuse of cleaning agents and sanitizers kills the good bacteria and leaves a person open to infection. Also, elimination of all germs weakens the immune system by not allowing it to "learn" pathogens.
I had a mild cold last year that lasted for three days or so. I hadn't been sick for four years previous to that.

I am not a germaphobe . I do wash my hand after the restroom of course. I live in the city and the first thing i do is wash my hands when I get home.
As for colds, If I am home I take a me day. Bed rest vitamin C, Chicken soup, Orange juice, Ginger ale. ( Canada dry is my favorite for some reason). Liquids, Liquids, Liquids. No milk, No dairy. Flush, flush, Flush.
And sweat. Sweat it out. Pee it out. all the way out.
Rah, Rah Ree, kick it in the knee, Rah, Rah Rass! Kick it in the other knee.
Sorry the last part was a flash back to high school. LMAO.

Back in the day,
when tongues were clucking over the children,
my wife's grandmother (where part of our kids Cherokee stems from, BTW) used to say,
Dirt will kill them...
but it will take tons...
and it has to fall on them.
And when somebody asked her,
WOW!! YOU HAD NINE KIDS!!??
She would deadpan...
Well,
we didn't want a big family...
but we didn't have a television.
We REALLY need a boot-in-the-ass smilie here.

I was always under the impression hand sanitizers do nothing about viruses; that they only kill bacteria. Since colds and flus are caused by viruses, then hand sanitizers are worthless against them.
I have seen a lot (too many) of people bypass the restroom sink in favor of sanitizers. Bad idea. Wash your stinking hands, as BW9 says, with soap and hot water and scrubbing. That is what gets viruses off you.
And there are some obvious things as well, such as eating nutritious foods and getting enough sleep each night. A bit of exercise is beneficial right at the start of a cold, at least for me. If I get a bit sniffly, I go jogging. Clears it right up usually. If it doesn't, chow down on some habeneros.

I have also heard ( iam not doctor big surprise) I have heard that after multiple application of sanitizer will built up a film on the hands and trap germs. Wash your hands people!Great question. Alcohol can deactivate viruses and I heard even "kill" them, so they do work. But I agree with you that we shouldn't squirt sanitizer in lieu of hand washing.

True!! And as Rig Jockey pointed out, washing gets rid of film. But I still use sanitizer after washing my hands religiously in the office because its a habit now.
