Cell phones will kill ya

[wraithfodder]

Well, 'experts' say they won't, but somewhere down the road the brain damage will show.

Beside the fact that people yakking on phones while driving show the same mental capability of someone who's drunk, the authorities still let people talk on phones. Every day I see people shoot red lights, stop signs, etc. while yakking blithely on phones.

But the latest story is a no-brainer. Cell phones breed germs. Who hasn't seen someone place a cellphone down on a counter in the bathroom at work (or worse, heard someone talking in the stall on the cell phone, I mean, REALLY, can't these people stop yakkng for ANYthing??). But studies show that germs love cellphones. No different than the average phone. I see people at work sneeze into phones all the time, and if they borrow mine, I clean it with alcohol. Who needs that gross stuff?

I'm sure iPODS are just as bad if not worse ;)

I doubt iPods are as bad... you don't hold an iPod to your face. At least you don't if, like me, you haven't gotten a chance to update to the video version. And while people may borrow my phone, I can't think of anyone asking to borrow my iPod. *shrug*
Just a thought.

Well, I was in a ladies room once and a woman put her car keys, purse and iPod right down on the floor next to the toilet. I was just 'eeeuuuuuu'. But actually, you want germs, try shopping carts. Man, I've kids chewing on 'em and worse. MONK would never go grocery shopping without latex gloves ;)

Okay... that woman... very strange. My iPod goes *in* my bag when I'm in the restroom. And my bag goes on the coathook.

Shopping carts... yeah, ew.

I'm pretty sure Monk would look into a grocery delivery service. It would save him a ton of angst. :)

Yes, I can't imagine putting anything on a public bathroom floor that you'd pick up with your hands.

I'd love to see an episode of MONK going shopping for food... I'm surprised he can touch anything in a grocery store as hey, can you imagine how many people might pick up one jar off the shelf to read ingredients? :)
