dear lord, i hate touching the doorknobs at my high school. they're a little greasy and gross. or maybe it's in my head. i don't know. but i feel like soaking my hands in Lysol every time i open a door.

dull insight of the day: office hours suck.

Don't even get me started on the doorknobs on bathroom doors. I always take advantage of my height and push open from higher up or pull along the edge of the door if it isn't closed completely. I avoid touching those wet doorknobs as much as I can.

I don't know but, I guess there are some people who are into wet knobs...I'd prefer a wet gaping axe wound, anytime.. Shocked

Ha, yeah, I developed the same sensation eversince SARS! It doesn't help when I've noticed the majority of the female population going to a dump in the public loos (obvious from the sound what they're doing) and exit without washing their hands... Assuming that the male half is the same... gross. But surely high school door knobs have to be better grade than elementary or kindy doorknobs? I've noticed (you may wonder how I have the time to notice all these things) that many kindy kids will do a dump (I've seen the remnants in the toilet bowl or on the floor next to the toilet bowl) without even using tissue paper let alone wash their hands!

Gross out Friday...Sorry, couldn't resist the grossness...Perhaps you can invest in that aerosol disinfectant if you get the germophobia...

A recent study conducted by SNU found that approximately 12% of Korean doorknobs were home to dangerous concentrations of the bacteria that causes this nasty affliction:

My, aren't we domineering today! I bet you talk to your misbehaving students the same way. But I fully support that order. I'm tired of wincing before I look at his posts anymore. And he hasn't told us what that ghastly disease is, has he? Whenever I see it, my natural instinct is to curl my own fingers into a tight, protective fist... "don't worry, fellas. i'll never let that happen to you!"

Fine, I'll stop posting the lamprey mouths + fingers photoshop. You two are so squeamish.

Why? Is it because you thought some stranger's fingers were horribly diseased & disfigured, and it was making you nauseous? Same for me. But he was lying, you know. Those really aren't lamprey mouths.




She's got a lamprey mouth and a... a... I'm not sure what kind of booty. But it wouldn't really matter, because even as it stands we'd have some serious, SERIOUS complications. Shocked


Now let's look at happy photos of clean doorknobs, the kind you'd never catch the dreaded lamprey-mouth skin disease from.





Tested & certified: Better than 95% lamprey-mouth skin disease-free!
