Do all you people feel icky and dirty that like your thighs touch all the dirty nasty furniture, bus seats, park benches etc.
It’s 74 degrees and I am still wearing full jeans because I just cant imagine the thought of my body touching someone’s else sweat riddle pile of disgust on a park bench or at a Starbucks etc. How does one not feel that? With arms it’s easier you can wash them but I cant keep washing my legs several times a day

It does seem a bit extreme as dirt/bacteria is a part of life, but I get that sometimes you can't get out of your own head. Would you feel weird carrying a towel or some sort of cover around that you can put down before you sit? I cant imagine never wearing shorts/dresses all summer!

like

If that’s the fear, I legitimately feel that you should try and work with someone on that. Imo this fear is unfounded and invasive in your life. It’s totally valid to want to stay clean, but if you’re actively worried about getting a bacterial infection from specific clothing then that sounds kind of stressful and not super healthy tbh.

Take a shower each night

Sounds a bit extreme tbh, maybe more of a mental habit that took over during COVID. Use public furniture that seems reasonably clean, obvs not going to sit or touch a pole that has a visible mess, but when I hop on the train I certainly grab the pole. Now afterwards I reasonably wash my hands when I can, esp before eating. Fwiw, the Sun kills so much bacteria so park benches and other outdoor stuff

How do you handle sex then? Do you disinfect your partner before commencing the deed?

Hello fishes, I joined Nagarro on 24th of August. But still no project is assigned yet. Basically I am on bench. Now I am about to get an offer from ServiceNow. I really wanna join ServiceNow as it's a big product based organisation and the competition is really high compared to Nagarro. ServiceNow is giving me a joining date of 1st October. As I am still on bench, will I get released by Nagarro soon ? Because no project is allocated to me.
