I have to go to a buffet today, how do I avoid getting other people's germs?

[Tommy2000GT]

I realize the utensils like the tongs are pretty gross because everyone touches them. Their hands could have been touching their mouth, nose, face, or privates. I thought about holding the tongs with a napkin but that would look too weird.






Trolling again?

Stop.

Bring gloves and insert a condom in your mouth before eating.

 

[T9D]

You have the answer, but you don't want to do it, so basically enjoy licking someones privates :thumbsup:

 

[KeithTalent]

Just bring your own tongs.

I use my butt to operate the tongs so my hands stay clean.

 

[MongGrel]

Just bring your own tongs.

Seems the practical solution.

 

[ElFenix]

reach right in with your hands

 

[PottedMeat]

Bring gloves and insert a condom in your mouth before eating.

OP, just put the condom over your entire head.

I guess the feasible thing to do is to wash my hands everytime after I get the food but before I eat. That means I probably have to wash my hands like 9 or 10 times.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Stay home and never go out again, that's the only way. Even then, it might not work.

9 or 10 trips to the buffet? don't worry after 4 hours or so the manager will probably come out and tell you to go, now.

Lift the tray of food you want
Dump food from tray in the trash
Get manager and tell them the trays empty
Wait by tray for the refill
Eat clean food
Rinse and repeat

The feasible thing to do is to stop whining and just go eat.

don't eat with your hands

I was going to post something about putting a plastic bag over your head, but considering some of your threads I don't want to be responsible for your death.

 

[dbk]

Thank you..you never fail to entertain..

AT would be sued.
Anand (AKA The Boss) would flip out, login to the forums and pull a LoKe.
Everyone would be banned.
The forums would close.
Where would we go to get our fix of Alky's awesomeness?

No thanks.

i heard that you can get aids from a buffet

so i never go to them anymore

 

[NoTine42]

Avoid the chocolate fountain.

(I enjoy going to the occasional buffet, but after having a kid, the thought of Hometown Buffet's chocolate fountain makes me shudder)

just bring some hand sanitizer in a squeeze bottle you huge pussy. Get food like a normal human being and then disinfect your hands before eating

 

[Drako]

I hear self immolation will protect you. Give that a shot.

 

[Markbnj]

Stop obsessing about things you can't control and embrace the germs. They're all around you. They are the training ground for your immune system. You don't want a pussy immune system, do you?

That's what I do when friends want to go to Hometown Buffet.
