    I don't think you are over reacting at all
    Most of these behaviours are grim - even at best of times. Coughing without covering mouth, wearing outside shoes in the house, touching a bin and then prepping a meal

    I think now, with how paranoid we all are, peoples regular grim habits have become more apparent and it is causing a lot of people to worry


    I can't speak for your bin but mine is full of stuff that was in the house anyway. The stuff was not toxic when it was outside of the bin and it didn't turn toxic the minute it was put in the bin.

    Unless you are spilling stuff all over the bin lid and leaving it, I would wager there are more germs on your dishcloth or teatowel than on your bin lid.

    And as for describing the wearing of outside shoes inside as 'grim', you sound very delicate.

    You can speak FOR bins?  Is this a super-power?

    I am unimpressed.

    I made friends with my Microwave yesturday.


    With love, POSR <3
