Dilemma

The burning question*: Is it okay to keep a tissue up your sleeve?

It’s Monday, so let TheJournal.ie distract you from the ‘serious’ news with one of life’s REAL dilemmas. (*not really)

WE KNOW HOW you feel. It’s Monday, you have the whole week ahead and you have a lot on your plate.

So do like we do here in TheJournal.ie HQ and get stuck into a serious debate on one of life’s most pressing issues.

Possibly.

This week: It’s cold and flu season and every second person is sniffling. As a result, there is a roaring trade in tissues. (We’ll take the ones with added balsam please).

But what do you do with your tissue when you’ve blown your nose? Do you keep it up your sleeve or do you immediately discard it every time (the ‘catch it, bin it, kill it’ school of thought)?

Vote here: Where do you keep your tissue?

E - Can't we all just get along? (157)
