[...] In 2013, researchers at Michigan State University carried out a thankless, if mildly creepy, study. They observed how more than 3,500 residents of their college town used the sink at various restrooms after they carried out their business.
Some 10 percent of people observed chose not to wash their hands at all, which is simply not an acceptable way to end a trip to the bathroom. But even the vast majority of people who tried to wash their hands managed to totally flub the proper routine. Almost a quarter of people washed their hands without soap, for instance. And only 5 percent washed their hands for at least 15 seconds or longer, which is actually lower than the 20-second minimum of handwashing recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

> I'm a nail-biter.
I was until about age 30. (long ago)
Now I'm just sayin' . . . it is my personal experience, I don't know why these two things are strongly connected in my mind.
I switched to a Southern Baptist church, played piano in early service. After a while I noticed I had stopped biting. Was a lot less stressed out. More calm. I was surprised. But never went back to biting even after eventually moving and going to other churches. (Also I'm a preacher's kid) I don't know why I connect these two things together.
The lower I set my standards the more accomplishments I have.
