Toilet Talk: Hand Washing

Wed, 20 Mar 2013 19:24:01 -0400

I usually don’t wash my hands after using the bathroom. I’m the youngest of five, and I think somewhere down the line my mom just assumed one of my sisters or brothers would teach me about personal hygiene (they didn’t). In the seventh grade, a boy I had a crush on said I had gross teeth. I said “I brush my teeth every day” Just every day. Not twice a day. No flossing. Mouth wash? Nope. He pointed out the rules and turned away from me to talk to the pretty girls next to us in the bleachers. I felt the crimson shame creep up my face.

Hand washing is one of the most important rules to good hygiene. But old habits die hard, and I just can’t always remember I’m supposed to soap up. I sometimes wonder if all these times I think I’m having a hypochondria-related cold, it’s really just my body fighting off infection from nasty poopy-peepee hands. Or from my nasty barely brushed teeth.

I probably have super human immunity by this point.

I get irritated whenever someone else is in the bathroom at work. Just like if 2 chatterboxes come into my elevator on the floors below me at work (Why did you stop talking as soon as the doors closed? You ruined my peaceful solitude and made it weird in here. I mean, the awkward air is palpable. Thank goodness the doors opened and you can resume your painful small talk. Fuckin’ weirdos. “Have a nice day!”). When other people are in the bathroom, it means I have to get to scrubbing.

Now, partially because I have guilty conscious, and partially because I gotta show these women up, I really scrub. Like, the full “working as a server in a restaurant” scrub. 30-45 straight seconds. And I like to give judgey face to the women next to me who are basically just rinsing their fingers.

“That’s all the effort you’re putting in? Gross.”

Kevin Champeny created this awesome Candelier.

Created for Jellio, the Candelier is was made using just over 3000 hand cast acrylic GummiBears. “At 18” diameter, it creates quite a focal point in any room it is installed in.”

When I was 10 years old, some moms in my fifth grade class organized an end of the year pool party for our entire grade. It was one of the first times I can recall being sent into a tailspin of anxiety for weeks, because it meant I had to wear a bathing suit in front of my classmates. After many…

This is v.v. good.

5 Ways You Can Improve the World With Almost No Effort by Marshall Lemon

#1 on this list was “smile.”

This sounds easy, right? But not everyone can do it and have it be effective. For example, if you are say… a man in your 40s with scraggly hair, dirty clothes, and a beanie with a yellow and brown smile directed at a girl walking past, she might just be creeped out. And by a girl I mean me. Every time I take the Metro. ::shivers::

There’s been a lot of internet chatter about women receiving unwanted attention on the street, with one of the most annoying and insulting calls being to “smile.” Ugh. The worst.

However… goddamn is it true that smiling at people makes the world a better place. I’ve started a little social experiment. In the morning, while I wait for my bus, I smile. I smile at people walking past. I sit on the bench and peer into cars and smile until someone makes eye contact. 100% of the time they smile right back. It’s incredible to see this transformation. A human in their car, brow furrowed as they think about the stress the day is going to bring, the annoyance at having to spend all day shuttered up in some office while there is a gorgeous LA day with rare crisp air on the outside. I flash them a genuine smile, with this unspoken message of “Please be OK. Please cope with today. Everything will work out.” And BOOM.

They smile back. Almost always, they seem to be surprised at themselves. Like, a curse has been broken. And at least for the next 5 minutes, they can look at their surroundings with hope. Maybe it will be OK.

There are still many people who won’t look around. They won’t make the eye contact. It’s OK We all need time to reflect. But when they do look, oh, when they DO, it’s magic.

So sure, not everyone can be a Smile Magician. But if you’re born with it, you gotta use it. I’m a nonthreatening person. I take advantage of this to try and brighten others’ days. I somewhat purposefully dress the way I do so that I am the least terrifying I can be. Soft and cuddly, like the human version of the teddy bear they give to kids when they undergo a traumatic experience. It costs me nothing and has the biggest and best return:

Happier people.
