Who's Dirtier -- Men or Women???

If you'll pardon the pun -- food for thought!

Women's offices tend to be dirtier than men's for the following reasons. First, they tend to use hand lotion more often, which gets on surfaces and traps germs. Then, they tend to be around children more often then men, and we all know how easily kids transmit germs. And finally they use makeup, which tends to absorb germs. Then it rubs off the face or gets scattered by brushes and sponges...

Women's purses can pick up a lot of germs. Gerba's study found fecal bacteria in one-third of the handbags tested...

Food in desk drawers also harbors lots of microorganisms, and it is more abundant among female office workers... 75% of women had munchies in their desks...

"I was really surprised how much food there was in a woman's desk," he said. "If there's ever a famine, that's the first place I'll look for food."

The average office desktop has 400 times more bacteria than the average office toilet seat...

That's it, I'm wearing NBC gear when I do desktop deployments.




I wounder if I can get my company to pay for the gear. I'm sure all the dust that exists in old computers qualifies as a bio-hazard.

Babies and young children are sh!t factories. And the women constantly have to handle that.

I'm sure you'd see the same thing with the rare single father of an infant/toddler.

I got some extra nbc suits that I can sell ya.

I'd still rather sleep with a woman than a man.

BTW, The germ phobia we have today is absurd. Your body NEEDS to be exposed to bacteria on a regular basis or your immune system turns on the body and causes the wave of auto-immune diseases we have today.

In fact, scientists are calling for an end to anti-bacterial soaps and disinfectant sprays for this reason, and also because they create stronger bacteria.

My wife and I were talking about that just the other day. We don't get the whole fear of "dirt". Neither one of us lives in fear of germs, bacteria, cancer, or whatever the fear dujour currently is.

The way some people on this board act, they'd be positively moritified if they saw me on a day to day basis.

It's true. I had to work as a night janitor some years ago and women's bathroom were MUCH dirtier then men's.

 

[bleeb]

Wow.

Not at all surprised by this. When I met my wife, we worked at Expo 74 in Spokane as "groundskeepers", which, among other things, meant we had to clean restrooms...the women's side was ALWAYS far filthier than the men's side. Granted, we men may dribble pee around the troughs/toilets, but the women were just plain NASTY with the things they'd do or leave behind...

I agree.

I swear, most women are addicted to the stuff. It's like the manufacturers put drugs in it...

 

[Syringer]

I'm addicted to hand lotion. But for different reasons.
