    Please don’t put your fingers on the holes of public dispensers, that’s just fucking disgusting for everyone else. You can pull bacteria back into the container, but it also just makes the hole dirty regardless.

      You might like to know that those dispensers are likely never washed. Same with any condiment containers in any restaurant, at the most occasionally wiped down with a dirty rag.

        Yep, that’s why I use packets when I can, even though they aren’t the best for the environment. People need to stop treating public stuff like it’s their own personal crap.

            You don’t care about the comfort and safety of others?

            These are pretty simple and basic things we can do to not be disgusting and cause issues for other people. But if you want to live that way, it’s entirely your pererogetive as well. It’s people like you that caused Covid to become so bad, such a selfish attitude.

              It’s not that. It’s that I don’t wander around the world thinking of every possible disgusting thing that may have happened to the food going in my mouth.

              And get fucked BTW. I isolated, masked and got vaxxed. COVID killed my mother.

        For home use sure, not for public dispensers, and yes I avoid them when possible. It’s shitty for the environment, but I’ll get ketchup packages instead for example. Some of my family is immuno compromised, and it’s hard enough without people treating public stuff like it’s their own.

            So my kids gotta be put at risk because you pick your nose than decide to go and wipe the extra ketchup off the dispenser?

            Public doesn’t mean treat it as your own, it means we’re all using this, be respectful. Some people just throw garbage on the floor of their house, do you think that’s acceptable in public? Because that’s what you’re saying.

                It’s not intended for people to stick their dirty public fingers in it. I wouldn’t even use it at home that way since it would dirty the rest of the stuff in the bottle, and it it takes longer to use at home so it has a longer chance to go off. There’s also far better ways to pour out measured or limited amounts, you would be far better off using a dish and dipping it.

                This comment is actually turning out to be a very good indicator of who is more disgusting than they thought.

                You can also drink milk straight out of the container, that’s its intended use, but do that to a public container and you’re gonna be punched in the mouth. Public items are a mutual agreement do not misuse it, but people like you treat stuff like it’s their own and everyone else has to suffer.

                How’s it out of proportion to call out someone who doesn’t even have the basic decency to keep public things clean for others? Do you also wipe your nose and open doors too? Because that’s its intended use too……

      Soy sauce is so loaded with salt nothing can survive in there. Doing that in public is a bit rude, but not dangerous.

        That is just completely false.

        And don’t give stuff a chance to breed on the outside too. It’s not rude, it’s digusting. This also doesn’t just apply to soy sauce, it’s general life advice. Dont stick your fingers where other people will ingest from.

        It’s sad this even needs to be stated.

          You mean to say bacteria live in saltwater?! AH! Soy sauce is 128 to 172 grams of salt per liter, oceans are ~35, closer to the Dead Sea than normal sea water. I dare you to culture a halotolerant organism in soy sauce. You can borrow my chemistry shit! (It ain’t much…)

          Germaphobe thought is always about what’s possible, not what’s probable. My wife almost never refrigerates dinner, covers it and leaves it on the table or stove until the next day. Now lecture me using the numbers we all learned for our teenage food handling cert. “Food kept under 140F for over 3-hours should be destroyed in a furnace at 5,000F. 🤓” We should be dead and we don’t even get upset tummies.

          This’ll make you puke: I use hair ties I find in parking lots. AH!

            …. Soy sauce is literally made with a halotolerant bacteria. And it can also go wrong.

            Assuming high salt means safe from bacteria is a plainly foolish way of going about stuff. Especially since it’s made with bloody bacteria… so how could it be made it nothing could live in it genius?

            It was in the link I provided even

              AH! GERMS! ER MER GERD!

              Crazy thing about bacteria and other microorganisms, and this is gonna bake your noodle, they have to be able to live inside of us to be harmful. And the harmful are a tiny subset of those animals.

              Did you take 2-seconds and look up “Lactobacillus plantarum”? I know you didn’t. I did because I’d never heard of it.

              https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3911214/

              Huh. It’s already in my gut and tested as a supplement.

              Are you breathing now?! Stop that! You just sucked in bAcTeriA and FunGI! AH! For god’s sake and your own health, NEVER GO OUTDOORS AGAIN!

              You germaphobes are a bizzaro world version of anti vaxxers, no conception of real threats, but goddamned you’re know sCienCE because GoOGle! Please, live in fear, don’t let me stop you.

                Providing knowledge makes me a germaphobe? Fucking strange logic dude.

                You also constantly have flu germs in you, that doesn’t mean you’re safe from exposure to higher levels.

                You have no concept about how any of this works, your other comments just let us know exactly how disgusting you are. It’s not germaphopic to point out you’re just a generally disgusting human being, and someone not wanting contact with you isn’t a germphobe. You’re just so filthy you’re a risk to anyone.

                This may shock you, but a lot of humans even have “Clostridioides difficile” in them, and may not show any symptoms, but they can also infect other people. You’re disgusting.

                If someone comes up to me covered in mud, and I ask them not to touch me, that doesn’t make someone a germaphobe. If I asked a clean person not to, yeah that’s germaphobic.
