Kleeneze catalogue to your door (home shopping)

[what..the?]

I just had one delivered in a resealable bag with a note to say it will be collected next week, I noticed the catalogue was ever so slightly creased and what with me not being able to keep the catalogue for over a week I am wondering if they are reused over and over.

Therefore whats the chance the last person before me read it on the toilet, I'm a bit nervous to open it, am I alone, do I need help?

it would be an expensive business if they made a fresh book for everyone :)

...and the same applies to library books, surely?

If you are so bothered about it think about when you open your mail how many people lick the envelopes. Bet you going out to buy a paper knife now.

[cazzz1975]

most official letters (from companies) tend to be addressed and sent out using an automated machine so apart from some sorting and posting hardly anyone would have touched it

Does it matter ? You leave it immediately outside the front door so they can collect anytime, even if you are out. You may then wash your hands if you wish.

Yes I know most mail is done by machine but there is still the few that are not.

If you're gonna worry about those things,you may a well live in a bubble,and not have any contact with the outside world. Those germs are everywhere!

I'm not sure if my newspaper boy washes his hands much...........

[factor-fiction]

Maybe you need to buy some gloves to use when reading catalogues, library books, restaurant menus, newspapers that have been flicked through on the shelf in the newsagent, turning on taps in the toilet at pubs/shops or turning door handles.
It's not a problem i have with Kleeneze catalogues- mine goes straight back on the doorstep and usually it's never collected so (minus the packaging) it goes in the recycling bin.

Think about any cash you have in your purse. Then think about how many peoples hands that same cash has passed. Then think about how many of those people might not bother washing their hands after they've been to the loo. eeeuuuggghhh.
