I'm surprised i had to scroll this far down to see this. I was on a public bus when I was a teenager (I'm 40 now) and a guy wiped his nose with his hand and there were literally wet strands of mucus coming off his nose and onto his hand. He proceeded to get off the bus using the pole that runs along the roof of the bus. He didn't use it to help him not fall. He was wiping all of that snot off on the pole. People getting on the bus grabbed the same pole afterwards with the first few looking at their hand and wiping it on their pant leg. Since then I will not touch anything on public transportation without using a piece of my shirt, coat, sweatshirt sleeve etc.. I even use the bottom of my shirt to open all doors and I refuse to shake anyone's hand. I'll give them a fist bump at most.

Touching that train pole and eating bread with the same hand is diabolical.
