I was at a local pharmacy today, waiting my turn in line to check out. I was pleased that they are encouraging proper social distancing by using tape on the floor to show people how much distance they should keep from each other. And then I see him, over there at the photo computer, with the fucking USB cables in his fucking mouth, slobbering all over them. His fingers were in his mouth multiple times as well in between touching his phones and the touch screen monitor.

This was a middle aged man, mind you, not someone’s infant or toddler. And there he was, spreading his germs all over this public computer terminal. What the fuck ails these types of people‽

Well, COVID-19, shortly.
