The other day I was using one of those touchscreen point-of-sale terminal doodads that you swipe your debit card into. As I was pressing the softkeys on the screen an older lady approached me from behind and the following conversation ensued:
Woman: "That's disgusting! Do you know how many germs are on that thing?"
Me: "Uuuuuh..."
Woman: "You are putting your fingers on that machine that you can see is filled with marks already! What's wrong with you? You should use that pen thing!"
Me: "...you mean the stylus that a lot of other people also put germs on? It doesn't matter. Besides, I usually wash my hands after doing my errands anyways."
Woman: "Your funeral!"
Great rebuttal.
