The hugs I do not mind; they are too rare. It is the endless nose-blowing right next to my desk, and the germ-laden papers that continually pile on my desk that make me crazy. This is my excuse for taking an eternity to correct anything; I am waiting for the germs to die. As a self-professed germaphobe, this is one of my biggest difficulties in teaching middle school.
