[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm with you, OP. I recently got sick (bad head cold, not Covid) because some friends' kids have all been passing it around, unbeknownst to me until after the fact.

I've found that people with small kids also seem to have immune systems that are probably higher charged since they are exposed to so much so often. Unlike those of us who are not around kids constantly.

I also refuse to eat any food at potlucks (hate them in general, anyway) that were obviously made by kids. Like cupcakes with little fingerprints in them, cookies with finger-smeared frostings. Why do people think others want to eat things their kids have licked their fingers on and then smeared around?! If an adult did this they'd be horrified.

Once I went to a colleague's house for a barbecue. Her DH came inside and wiped his sweaty armpits with the kitchen towel and hung it back up. I immediately lost my appetite.

This is OP - and omg that husband story is horrifying.

I know we all have our disgusting habits - and the disgusting things we overlook with the people we live with because if we didn't, we'd lose our minds (or run away). But have the social awareness to keep those in check around other people, man![/quote]
