Not just plastic bags but paper ones, and to turn the pages of
newspapers and books.
It's a really disgusting habit!

I have to admit that I am sometimes guilty of this "disgusting" habit...but
I fail to understand what is so disgusting about it since no one else has an
opportunity to use them after me. I always try to open plastic bags first
by rubbing my *dry* fingers and thumb together. Sometimes that will not
work and the only way I can open the plastic bag is to lick my finger. I
seldom do that with magazines or newspapers, but rare times when I do will
be for the same reason--the pages don't want to open. Note: these are
always my *own* magazines or newspapers. I never do it with items that
belong to someone else (or, worse, to a motel or doctor's office).
