Ew.

Okay, so I'm at my favorite local Mexican restaurant on yesterday. I love going to El Cazadores because the food is good and it helps me brush up on my Spanish. I took three years of Spanish and I was pretty good at one time, but now I'm reduced to reading the closed caption on Univision. To hear it spoken requires a lot of concentration on my part now which usually results in me replying, "Que?"

Anyhoo. I decided after arriving to step to the restroom to wash my hands. I excused myself from the table and told The Mrs. I'd return shortly. I get to the restroom and there are three people inside: one is a teen in one of the stalls, an employee is washing his hands and the other is a guy using the urinal. The restroom is so small, that I'd prefer to refer to it as a "restcloset."

So, after the employee finished washing his hands, I stepped to the sink. The man, who was done at the urinal, was waiting on me to finish washing my hands. The teen comes out of the stall and never even looked towards the sink. He bolted straight to the door as the guy and I stood in disbelief.

What is it with people who use the restroom and do not wash their hands? That is one of the nastiest things a person can do if you ask me. Just because your "particulars" are yours doesn't mean that they are clean. Besides that, you touched the door coming in, the stall door and the toilet handle yet you're germ-free?

So, of course, once I was done washing my hands, I left the restcloset and proceeded to walk to my table. As I'm walking to my table, my eyes are darting back and forth trying to locate Teen (raised by a) Wolf. Then I see him with his hands wrist-deep into a bowl of chips. His only concern at the time wasn't his filthy hands, but locating the salsa in which to dip his newly contaminated chips.

To quote Nicki Minaj: "Ew."

That's the only word that came to my mind. Did his family know that his hands were just a few minutes removed from his genitals and the handle he used to flush the toilet? If so, would they have cared? After all, they could all be a family of Neanderthals.

I don't know what goes through a person's mind when they avoid the simplest of tasks at the risk of being offensive. If you don't care about the germs you ingest yourself, then at least care about the people around you who may come in contact with you with a handshake. If I'm offending you, then good. Because it's about time the favor is returned to those too nasty to understand that washing your hands after visiting a restroom is expected, not optional.

C'mon, lady! Use then wash.
