Yesterday I hit my head when I opened my car door too close to it. That's never happened to me before. That I can remember. Then again, maybe I do this on a regular basis and my memory is shot due to head injury.
Ow. :(

Tidbits
As a follow up to my last post about subway newspapers...
Yesterday I saw a woman get on the subway, pick up a newspaper off the ground, and start reading it - casual as can be. Unfortunately she was standing right in front of where I was sitting and I was paranoid the entire time that part of that newspaper would touch me as she turned the pages.
On a totally unrelated note - I saw a woman in the gym changeroom yesterday blowdrying her ass. Then her crotch. Thank goodness she had underwear on. Ew.

Why you don't pick up the newspaper on the subway
I always knew that the discarded newspapers lying around on subway seats by thoughtless, inconsiderate passengers were dirty and full of germs. I just had no idea how much.
Today I was standing in front of a scruffy looking man (definitely not a business guy going to his bank job) who was seated on the TTC. He was reading the Metro and I was reading 24 (they ran out of Metros, ok?) All of a sudden he goes into a hacking coughing fit and uses the Metro to cover his mouth. OK, that's fine with me, at least he covered his mouth. The woman sitting next to him suddenly got up and walked away, and not to get off the train, I don't think. So the guy starts saying loudly "Well sorrrr-y, that's why I used the newspaper, what's your problem, etc." I decided not to move and just ignore it.
Of course, then he goes back to reading the newspaper and as he turns the pages, it brushes my fingers which are holding the pole in front of him. EW! Must remember to Purell when get to office. EW!
Then, does he not finish reading his filthy paper and lay it down on the empty seat next to him!! I mean, come on. You can't even hold on to it until you leave the train and then dump it on your own seat? It's not like this guy was carrying a whole bunch of bags with him or something. Nope, he just lays his germ-ridden garbage right on the seat next to him.
Then when a lady went to sit down on that seat, he picks up the paper - only to move it to another seat on his other side! Then the lady who wanted to sit there had to throw it on the ground. I'm glad that she did. I was so scared for her that she would pick it up and start reading it.
Let this be a lesson to all you who pick up the random newspaper lying around subway trains and read them. You never know where they've been.
