Forget about the Swine Flu…I have been wearing face masks and not shaking hands for a long time. Ever since I had pneumonia (like ten years ago) I have been super-paranoid about germs.
For the past couple of years I have worn a face mask when I fly…much to the embarrassment of my family. I always politely tell the strangers who sit next to me that I’m not sick, I just don’t like germs.
If someone goes to shake my hand, I kindly say, “Sorry, I don’t shake hands.” I also keep hand sanitizer in my car and in my purse. Rude? Maybe. Do I care? No.
When was the last time I was REALLY, REALLY, REALLY sick or even had a cold? Other than this minor yuckiness, I really can’t remember.
Oink, oink.
