Cleanliness

Today before I had my lunch I went to the loo to relieve myself and to wash my hands before I ate.

When I was going into the temporary (renovation is still going on in the office) lunchroom, all my colleagues had started eating their lunch which the office boy took away for us from the Jawa shop. I was thinking ‘oh my, this bunch of people did not even bother to wash their hands before they eat when everything is so dusty in the office’. I let them finished their lunch first since there was insufficient space to accomodate another person on the table.

Only after they finished then the office boy and I had our lunch.

Before the day was over, my colleague NE told me that while she was eating her lunch at another area outside the temporary lunchroom, that bunch of people came out and asked her how come she could sit there when the construction workers were leaning on the chairs not long ago. She did not answer them.

We came to this conclusion: Cleanliness for one person may not be for another.

P/S. I have seen people in public loos – young and old who went to the loo, came out and walked straight out from the loo without washing their hands. And these loos do not have any water pipe inside the loo itself
