Dirty subway hands

It amazes me the things that people do with their dirty subway hands.

It goes without saying that the subway is just gross, a germ factory. You get on a train and you have to hang on to these steel poles to keep from falling over as the subway jostles from stop to stop. Thousands of people with all kinds of colds and flues and diseases have been hanging on to these grimy steel poles day after day after day.

And yet, it doesn't stop some people from using their dirty subway hands to eat food on the train.

There was this one girl the other day that would hold onto the pole and then, once the train got going, she would reach into her bag - with her dirty subway hands - and grab celery sticks. And there was a guy peeling and eating Starburst candy, which are sticky and gooey, and I'm sure every subway germ must have clung to those bursts of flavor before he popped the candy in his mouth.

It truly amazes me (and totally grosses me out) when I see folks eating on the train. Go home, wash your freakin' dirty subway hands, and THEN reach into your bag for some Cheetos!
