Considering that I often blow my nose into the tiny drink napkins, and place said napkin into the cup, yes I think they should always use gloves...

Thank God, I'm not the only person who does that...

I clean when I'm bored

Wiping down all surfaces, scrubbing the burners on the coffee pots, organizing the pretzels (I know), and general tidieness.

What else am I going to do when everyone is asleep but me? :-)

- Whenever she came through to pick up service items/trash, she would put on plastic gloves (which she would take out from another Costco-sized box).

Anyone else had a Germaphobe FA on their flight?
She's not germaphobic. She just likes cleanliness, and that makes her my kind of FA^ I wish there were more like her.
