Maybe this is a cultural thing, but the idea of a solid food hitting the floor and it suddenly being off-limits is alien to me. I was taking a pill for pain this morning. I dropped it on the floor and picked it up and swallowed it with water anyways, and a classmate I was with had this reaction like I had just eaten a worm. Does it supposedly cause illness or bad luck, because I’ve never gotten any in all my years…

      You can handle floor grime, but gotta wipe off the pocket germs?

        No, I just don’t want the floor meatball flavor tainted by the floor fish I had before. Do you think I’m some sort of barbarian who would mix the two?
