DEAR ABBY: Please let your readers know that it's not OK to floss their teeth after eating at their office desk, or in front of others while making conversation. It's disgusting! Their keyboards are covered with the debris. I'm sure you will agree with me. -- GROSSED OUT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
DEAR GROSSED OUT: You bet I do. Oral hygiene should be taken care of in the restroom, not while standing in front of other people and conversing. And the sink should be rinsed and wiped out afterward. To floss while talking to someone could result in particles of food hitting the other person.
One would think common sense would discourage individuals from flossing at their computers, but if common sense is in short supply, perhaps your supervisor or your employer could "remind" the offenders that the equipment belongs to the company and needs to be treated with respect.
