People fart a LOT in my class-there’s some major toxin release going on there. All I have to say about that is if you don’t have a good grip on what your sphincter’s doing, don’t do the plow position. gag
I was in Target yesterday and there was a little kid licking the produce-she’d lick the nectarine, and then put it back. She was eating the grapes, though, right out of the bag.
MOD, we had a girl I secretly called the farter in yoga. This wasn’t just the isolated oopsie that happens to people occasionally. This was something where it was loud, obvious to all (not just those immediately around her), and reoccurring over a dozen times per class if not more. She had to have had some kind of digestive problem. Seriously, I would not leave my house if I were that frequent!
^^It’s tough, because on the one hand you want to be sympathetic to people who have digestive issues (which are often VERY difficult to manage), but you also want to get through a yoga class without wanting to gag from the odor.
I think if I had digestive issues (from not washing fruit, perhaps?) I would probably choose another form of exercise that was more considerate of other people and my digestive issues-twisting and turning your torso in crazy positions is going to put a lot of pressure on your gut, and if your gut can’t take it, maybe yoga is not the best choice at that point in time.
Yuck.
If I pick up yoga, I have this to look forward to? I’ll have to ask my yoga friends about their experiences.
For me the benefits outweigh the annoyances. And germs. 
This is kind of a weird one-off personal situation, IMO. It doesn’t really happen otherwise.
D2 has been going to yoga classes for years. I asked her if this was a problem in her estimation. She said absolutely not!
^^Hot yoga classes? For some reason it’s not an issue I see in the normal temp yoga classes, only the hot ones.
I have a patent pending on the yoga-plug. Seeing now if Lulu Lemon can sew a little pocket in there yoga pants for it…
OMG, if hot yoga were not disgusting enough already.
See, it’s this level of grossed-out that you need to get to to really get you on board with washing stuff. 
ewwwww
I’m assuming the regular ones, since she hasn’t been to a hot yoga class in many years.
Nrdsb, your D’s class is probably not designated as “yoga for old farts.”
@BunsenBurner, I’m really glad I didn’t just take a big gulp of my Cabernet right as I read your post. My computer screen and my black cat (cuddled in my lap, purring away) thank you. LOL.
Always wash my fruit! I cringe when I see people at the grocery store popping fruit in their mouth. I’ve seen people feeding dirty grapes to kids. Besides the fact that they’re stealing, it’s disgusting!
Stealing? Have you seen the cost of fruit these days?
When the grapes are picked and packed not 30 miles from your home and the market wants you to shell out, say, $1.00 for 2 lemons, which drop from trees where you walk, tell me who’s stealing.
Well, in CA, our mailman used to bring us those big grapefuit sized avocados he picked up along his route (yes, fallen from a tree.) To keep this mildly on track, yes, I wash off avocados.
I wash the avocado as well, but how do you pronounce it? (aa-voh-cah-do? ahh-vo-cah-do?)
Oh no, not this again! There is no distinction in those two pronunciations in the West Coast accent! Plus, there’s only one way to say avocado! The right way!
(AH (as in “Say aaah”) - vo (rhymes with hair bow) – CAH (I was going to say, like what a crow says, but then I remembered all you Staten Islanders and New Jersey-ites. So forget that, just CAH), do (as in "Do(e) a deer, a female deer).
