As you saw from my last post we were in Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia last week. Having a child with cancer, you instantly become a germaphobe. You just can't risk having your child catch some bug resting on a faucet or a door knob because some dumbo wipes his donkey and doesn't wash his hands when he's done. As my oldest daughter says all the time, "What's your problem??!"
In Busch Gardens, the sinks are all touch-less. You put your hands under them and the water just pours out.
That is not the case with the soap dispenser. You have to use your hands to dispense the soap. You're touching other people's germs in order to wash your hands. Sure, you can use the back of your wrist.
And when you're done washing your hands, you get to grab a paper towel from the.......manually dispensed paper towel dispenser. More transfer of germs. Why would you have a touch-less sink, but force everyone to use their hands for the soap and paper towels? I know they exist. We have them at American Amalgamated Corrugated Conglomerates of America. And it's difficult to do this with your elbow. Trust me, I've tried.
Needless to say, this is the worst gripe I have with Busch Gardens. Everything was fabulous, and I don't use the word fabulous very often unless I'm talking about the new RuPaul special on Bravo or the new line of Bottega Veneta men's messenger bags.
What are you pet peeves with cleanliness?
