Stupid Lady Alert!!

Okay, I was going to be nice, but I had to title this post "Stupid Lady Alert!!" because some people just deserve to be called "stupid"!!

I just got home from the market because I had to buy some yummy summer fruit for our beach day tomorrow. I picked out some plums, nectarines and apricots because they are all my favorites! I was walking around the fruit area looking at prices on apples when I saw the "stupid lady"!

She was taking her dripping, raw chickens (only bagged in the original package) and putting them in the fruit scales to weigh them!! Then she set them on top of the fresh fruit while she bagged them!!

I was in complete disbelief! Are people really this stupid or just careless? How many people will get sick from the fruit now? I told the checker and he just made a comment about "how she must not know about cross contamination".

So, wash your fruit really well!

Eww, eww, eww! I was at a buffet line at work and saw a lady repeatedly licking her fingers before picking up the next serving spoon. It was so sick. Shouldn't grown-ups know that isn't appropriate?

SUPER GROSS. Thanks for the heads up. I rinse a fair portion of my fruit in vinegar with water because it kills 99% of bacteria. Just an idea if you're feeling preoccupied about germs on fruit. Plus, it might get contaminants (like pesticides) completely off your food.
