Sometimes I work at this huge crappy retail place that requires everyone to wear a little radio with an earpiece. I’m also the only adult not in management, fuck me.

Woke up the other day with a mild crusty situation in my ear.

They provide no accommodation for just sanitizing that earpiece.

If I go back I guess I’m bringing some wipes and hand sanitizer

    I get it from myself (once a year or few years) if i am not diligent in cleaning my own earbuds.

    Putting 70% alcohol on a cotton swab and wetting the crust for a minute will get rid of it and heal very quickly!

      Agreed. Somehow get it more often when sharing resources with teens. Childcare workers and parents of young kids can tell me what I’ve missed. I do still think it’s crazy.
