But in other places, it's place-dependent!

Ought to be the 5 millisecond rule.....

Just sayin'

they don't even have a rule!

Your floor, not so much...

Of course, I've been known to drink five day old coffee.

In my house, yeah. At work or other public places, nay.

my own home, yes, but I also take the precaution of wiping whatever it is off on my sleeve just in case.

Elsewhere, no.

Not even if it only falls out of my plate and onto the table instead of the floor.

She who must not be denied.

And I'm rather liberal in my construction of 5 seconds.

I know there's no science behind it whatsoever, but I've just never been the germophobe type.

I've never been a germophobe and I'm rarely sick. Yet I find people who go all out with germophobic tendancies who keep on getting sick.

But if it goes an hour or two, who's counting?

then you risk the broth from the chicken noodle soup evaporating and then you have to hope the dried up noodles don't stick to the floor. That ruins lunch every time...

I should have noodle better.

But I'm still stickin' to MY rule, so there!

You're doing it wrong.

Just sayin'.

I'm only kidding.





Or am I?
