Waiting to pick up a couple of cases of wine at the wine shop I couldn’t help but feel that my OCD tendencies were being triggered…..
People are funny…it seems so simple and straightforward, but there are those who willfully ignore physical distance boundaries…and then there are those that are just utterly oblivious.
And then, on the way home, we passed a fellow on a motorcycle who just made me shake my head. He was in partial squid gear (t-shirt, jeans, running shoes, and helmet…), but for gloves, and I kid you not…we really wouldn’t have even noticed if he hadn’t slowed down and waved us by…with is blue nitrile gloves on.
Seriously.
How do people not understand the purpose of nitrile and latex gloves?
They are single use; single purpose use … per use.
They are designed to keep your hands protected from exposure to…whatever…and then you take them off (carefully and properly) and you throw them in the garbage (not on the ground, not in the gutter, not on the floor!!!). If you put on a pair of nitrile gloves and then wear them for an extended period, you are not protecting yourself…you are collecting and spreading. You are just as well off with bare hands as you are with gloves if you just keep the gloves on.
And really…on a motorcycle?
Why!
There was absolutely no point.
