You kids have it way too easy these days.
When I was much, much younger someone told me a story about getting aids by pricking your finger on an infected needle hidden in the coin return of a public pay phone. It scared me so much it was over a decade before I was able to even touch a public phone, and even today I still carry around a prepaid card to use. I know it's silly and irrational, but can't get over it for some reason.
