Default magazines in waiting areas

Do you thumb through them? Or do you not due to worrying about germs and who has touched them with who knows what on their hands?

I do look through them but I usually have hand sanitizer in my purse so I use it after Im done

ETA: Im not really worried about catching a cold/flu from the mags so much as some sort of skin infection. Im not sure if the sanitizer kills that kinda stuff but I use it just in case

I always have reading materials in my van and take them in ... there is always SOMETHING I am wanting to read but don't take the time at home ... so can't remember the last time I looked at a mag in a waiting room ... hadn't even thought about the germs ..

I have a whole STACK of books on Autism/Aspergers that I bought earlier this year ... and am slowly getting through them in my "waiting times"...

I HATE going to the doctor and am usually so nervous that I don't want to be bothered with anything -- I just want to be seen and then LEAVE! lol

I usually browse, and don't really worry about it too much, unless it's in the middle of a really bad flu season. I don't think that coming into contact with a few germs once in a while is all that harmful. I definitely don't want my immune system to be so lax that I catch everything, so I figure the little that I might come into contact with on a magazine are only strengthening my system. I may be totally wrong, but reading a magazine in a Doctor's office hasn't killed me yet, so I'll continue to take my chances!

ETA: I do wash my hands quite frequently, so that's part of why I don't worry too much.

I consider myself sort of a germaphobe, but Im not that extreme. I also carry sanitizer with me, so if I get freaked out I have it.

emmasmommy - hate to break it to you, my DH works in the dental industry and their offices are some of the dirtiest and germ infested doctors offices. Im more careful there than anywhere else.

I normally bring my own book, but if I don't, I browse. Really, if I had to worry about everything being germy, that's just way too much worrying to do IMO.
