    I am armed with hand sanitizer and wipes at all times.

    I recommend professional help.

    Meh... I'm a fan of hand sanitizer, too (home and work). I use it more at work (handling dirty money, working with the public, etc.) and every so often, I'll slap some on the community pens/phone/keyboard/register keys/etc., as well. Why should I get your creeping crud and take it home to infect my family if I can avoid it?

    I have single pack wipes in my van, too. I mostly carry them to use after shooting... but they've come in handy otherwise, as well. I might need professional help, but it ain't for that. :lmfao:

    Pro Tip:
    Use the proper socket tool to get nuts off.
    A proper penetrating lubricant can help relieve tension as well.
    Using pliers to get nuts off can damage the nuts.

    I can agree with this....wholeheartedly. Right tool for the job.

    As an aside- the rise of the use of hand sanitizer has paralleled the downfall of the U.S. as a world power....we have lost our grit.

    I never expected this thread to grow like it has, so please let me set the record straight. If you ever happen to meet me, I promise I won't be wearing a hazmat suit and I won't be acting like Monk from the TV show. That cashier was licking her fingers like she just finished Thanksgiving dinner, and I just wasn't down with that. . .and for the record, she was not hot, and from the looks of her, the miles she had on her were rough ones.

    Nobody ever told you that they ALL are good looking when the lights are off? :laugh:

    If you seriously watch an atm for a half hour, you need help. Yes it was ridiculous for you to ask for another pair. Just imagine what they did to those as they brought them up.

    This thread reminded me of the folks I have seen that wear glasses that lick them to clean them. That is truly disgusting.

    And for all the hype about safety precautions for Ebola, Flu, Enterovirus, etc., they never mention the one thing that is common throughout society; (paper) MONEY! I wash hands thoroughly after touching cash, but I see everyone else going their merry way not even thinking about all the things that impregnate money. Remember 99.8% of $100 bills have cocaine residue? I wonder what bacteria is on 99% of bills.

    Excerpt from TIME:

    "Also found on bills: fecal matter. A 2002 report in the Southern Medical Journal showed found pathogens — including staphylococcus — on 94% of dollar bills tested. Paper money can reportedly carry more germs than a household toilet. And bills are a hospitable environment for gross microbes: viruses and bacteria can live on most surfaces for about 48 hours, but paper money can reportedly transport a live flu virus for up to 17 days. It's enough to make you switch to credit."

    I probably would not have asked for new pliers, but I would have certainly noticed. And while I don't carry hand sanitizer around, I do wash my hands after being around lots of people/crowded places with stair rails, etc that get touched by everyone and their brother as well as before and after eating. Only time I have asked for something new was when the guy handing me a cup at fast food joint proceeded to stick a couple of fingers on the inside of the cup as he handed it to me. I'm sure there is worse done when they prep the food, but just wanted to bring his attention to it. I didn't get loud, or anything, just politely asked for a cup in which he had not inserted his booger hooks.

    So, no, I can't see asking for new pliers in that situation.

    How do you know the dollar bill you got in change didn't spent last evening in some stripper's crack? Yes, I know that would be a plus for some guys but, none for me thanks! Is Lowes the only place that cashier works?

    I respect everyone's opinion. It doesn't bother me if you're fine with an associate picking their nose and handling your painting supplies. I'm sure those booger brushes will work wonderfully.
    The problem is that you'd have to live your life in a bubble if you were truly bothered by it. You can't see what transpired before you got there. You don't know who was touching something or what they touched just before that. It's a ludicrous approach to take on life.

    Well, first thing a young man learns is that all girls have cooties!! Don't want cooties on your new pliers. I mean, you should never ever let a girl lick your tool!. . .
    Knowing that you're a rule-breaker, what does that say?

    To the original post, I have to say it's time for some sand removal.
