Public Transport, a cesspit of disease

I am going to go out on a limb here and assume I am not alone in my hatred for public transport. Personally I have to catch the train to and from work Monday to Friday, this journey is essentially a 20 – 30 minute game of sardines, only instead of Olive oil or Brine, you are instead jammed in shoulder to shoulder within a tin can full of rank, stale and disease filled air, and instead of dead sardines to be crammed in with, I am instead stuck with rude, inconsiderate, selfish, disgusting and ignorant people.

Would it be too much to ask for people to consider a little bit of personal space, not to charge in pushing people out of the way to get on the train, and not shove your ass in my face if I am sitting down. It is due to these rank disease filled carriages and the poor hygiene of so many that I am once again suffering from a viral cold or flu.

Now I am a fairly clean and hygienic guy, I shower every day, I brush my teeth, I cough into my elbow rather than my hand and most importantly of all. I wash my hands thoroughly after using the bathroom. That’s right kids, this is a favourite gripe of mine and one that many of my inner circle of friends would have heard me gripe about often.

So here we go again. Please guys, wash your hands your hands after using the bathroom and for that matter before eating. The reasoning is pretty simple, whilst you don’t pee on your hands (and before I go further, urine is actually sterile when fresh so this isn’t that case) as a man you will do one of the following.

1 – Touch your penis

2 – Flush the chain

3 – Touch the door or door handle

Here in lies the problem. If you do any of the above not only are you spreading your own germs to others you are actually putting other peoples germs all over yourself, specifically your penis. Do you really want other peoples dick germs on your own dick?.
When those little back splashes of urine hit your member, then stay there without being fully washed or flicked off, they will attract bacteria, which will then start to multiple, spread and cause disease and increase the spread of say, the flu virus.

So next time you think, its ok to whip out your chopper, have a slash, shake, shove it back in your pants. Before you go to walk out that door, turn the tap on, put some soap on your hands, rub together for 20 – 30 seconds, rinse, dry and then proceed with your day. Otherwise do every other clean person on this planet a favour and stay the fuck inside your home.

Don’t forget the soap part, just splashing water about does nothing but make your hands wet.
