In a surprising turn of events, a domestic disagreement has landed one spouse in the proverbial doghouse after a seemingly innocent act of spit-shining an apple. The incident unfolded during dinner preparations when one partner, aiming to showcase their affection and old-fashioned cleaning method, decided to spit-shine an apple before serving it.
Unimpressed by the gesture and concerned about hygiene, the other spouse expressed their displeasure. What started as a lighthearted debate quickly escalated into a full-blown argument, culminating in the "spit-shiner" being humorously escorted to the doghouse for the evening.
While this event highlights the importance of hygiene and mutual respect in relationships, it also underscores the need for clear communication and understanding between partners. Though this couple's spat has already become a neighborhood anecdote, it serves as a reminder that even small actions can lead to larger consequences if not handled with care and consideration.

G Papa Tango, can you make a list of such things we all used to do that are now considered impolite or unhealthy?
Certainly! Here’s a list of things that were once common practices but are now considered impolite or unhealthy:
Spit-Shining Objects: Cleaning items like apples or shoes with spit, which is now seen as unhygienic.
Sharing Drinks: Drinking from the same glass or bottle, which is now discouraged due to concerns about germs.
Double Dipping: Dipping food into a shared sauce or dip more than once, considered impolite and unsanitary.
Smoking Indoors: Smoking in homes, offices, or restaurants, now largely banned in many places due to health risks from secondhand smoke.
Not Washing Hands: Not washing hands before meals or after using the restroom, now a basic hygiene practice.
Coughing/Sneezing without Covering: Not covering your mouth or nose when coughing or sneezing, now considered very rude and a health risk.
Physical Punishment: Using corporal punishment on children, now often viewed as inappropriate and harmful.
Not Wearing Seatbelts: Driving or riding in cars without wearing seatbelts, once common but now illegal and unsafe.
Ignoring Personal Space: Standing too close to others, now recognized as a violation of personal space and comfort.
Eating with Dirty Hands: Eating without washing hands first, now understood as a way to spread germs.
Using Handkerchiefs: Reusing cloth handkerchiefs for colds, now replaced with disposable tissues for better hygiene.
Not Covering Food: Leaving food uncovered, leading to contamination, now avoided by using covers or containers.
Barefoot in Public Places: Walking barefoot in public places like parks or streets, now considered unhygienic and unsafe.
Using Public Drinking Fountains Directly: Placing the mouth directly on the spout of public drinking fountains, now avoided to prevent germ spread.
Handling Cash without Cleaning: Handling money without washing hands afterward, now seen as a way to spread bacteria and viruses.
These changes reflect a growing awareness of health, hygiene, and personal boundaries in modern society.
