A Life SO Ordinary

Dear Prudence,
OK, I'll admit that I am a bit of a germophobe, but here's my question: Is it really necessary for people to lick their fingers when paging through a stack of documents? Every time I have to sit there while co-workers do this to a stack of documents that I know will be handed to me, I cringe. The other day, a co-worker came into my office and regaled me with the tale of her weekend bout with the stomach flu. Then, she licked her way through a huge stack of documents that were my projects for the week. I was appalled! I sat there after she left this giant biohazard on my desk wishing I had some of that hand sanitizer stuff. Is there a polite way to ask people not to lick their fingers when touching things that they are going to give to me? Shouldn't finger licking to turn pages go by the wayside now that there are things you can buy at office supply stores designed for that purpose?
I saw this in an advice column and had to share it. It makes ya wonder!
In other news:
I might be getting a new car.
Not new.
But it will be to me! How cool is that!
SO COOL!
