Handrails

I noticed the other day that if a handrail is available when I’m walking down a flight of stairs, I’ll use it. Even if I have nothing in my hands and I’m walking slowly, I still use the handrail by default. And that’s kind of gross because I see how often people don’t wash their hands in public bathrooms.

So, I think I may start living life on the edge: I’m not going to use the handrail unless I absolutely have to. It’s worth the risk of falling.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
