Germaphobes have been around since way before Covid, but they’ll probably be even more obnoxious post pandemic. I still remember a pain in the ass temp employee obsessed with the cleanliness of the computer and he spent at least an hour cleaning it down every day rather than working.

That’s why I bet he’s still a temp to this day, way too high maintenance for a permanent job to deal with him
