It’s Hard Being Germaphobic

OK, you go to the hair salon and hang your shirt up on the little mod looking rack so you can wear the thingy they give you. You know what I’m talking about, right? Well, it just occured to me that other people go in there and hang their shirt up too. What if they do something yucky to my shirt like wipe their nose on it? The salon I go to is a bathroom/dressing room, what if someone did something even yuckier?

For all the mean commenters, this IS local. Women in the Park Cities need to consider what is happening to their clothing during a two hour highlighting procedure.

    I don’t know anything about that. I keep my shirt on while getting my hair cut and shoes shined.

    But, what if you get a recycled smock from some other germ carrying non-shirt wearing or non-undergarment wearing patron and then that person’s germs jump directly to your non-shirt wearing person.

    You Are Srewed!

    It’s true, Merritt is germaphobic. She was inquiring about the bacteria-control procedures at the pole-dancing place yesterday. I was satisfied with the response, but I don’t know about Merritt.

    Then again, the leotard-clad Karyn was twisting and writhing in front of me at the time, so I’m not sure I remember what was said.

    Merritt, I feel your pain, and have implemented a personal plan for just this reason. I wear my normal clothes to the salon, and change into an old bleachable t-shirt. I carry a large yet chic bag, and keep my normal clothes near my person at all times (careful to avoid flying hair or other people’s trimmings, “OPT”). Then I can change back into my normal clothes knowing that no one has wiped their nose on my shirt.

    Charles, I was indeed a bit bothered by the barefoot, “love your business and then grab the pole thing.” I mean, who knows where your “business” has been and then I could step in it.

    I think I take offense to that, Merritt, but it’s true that my Captcha words are “sleeping maps.” Do you think Jason crouches over his monitor and quickly conjures Captcha words in anticipation of a comment’s subject? Because these don’t seem random.

    I meant your business in the general sense. But now that I think about it…

    Captcha: More vulgar

    The crouching over monitors is my business now. Wait, that didn’t sound right.

    That’s nasty and germy.

    I quit. Have a nice weekend.
