    Unhappy Is anyone else afraid of yellow cones?!

    Hi everyone,

    Is anyone else bothered by yellow cones? I met up with a friend today and the cafe we first went to had a section of chairs cut off and lots of yellow cones where something had been mopped up! (you know what I'm thinking!) so anyway I got home and showered for an hour but am really worried I'll get norovirus!

    Not that this is even going to help but I used to ignore things like that til I got my job at a chain drug store and people would v in them coming to get thier prescriptions filled! I ended up quitting my job after seeing three people v in the store! Now I think those yellow cones ALWAYS mean v so I always freak, but even with all that I have never got sick....I think you should be fine but I understand the freak out!

    They frighten me too, I always make a detour allll the way around them. I know it doesn't always mean someone was sick on the floor but I always treat it as if someone did! I always take my shoes off when I get home because, I can only imagine the germs we must track around under our shoes.

    It was most likely a spill, so don't freak out. Even if it was you wouldn't catch it, it had been cleaned up

    “We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving. We pride ourselves on getting as little sleep as possible and thrive on self-deprivation. We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins. We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We never want to be as passive-aggressive as our mothers, never want to marry men as uninspired as our fathers. We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything.”
