Do you change your clothes when you get home after being on the tube or other public transport?

I never used to need to change clothes to sit on my sofa or whatever until I moved to London years ago. The tube is filthy! Now, it has become automatic habit to me to change into 'house' clothes when I get home - I don't live in London anymore but another large city where I'm on equally grotty public transport to get around. I really don't think this would have become habit if I was going from my home to my own car on a daily basis, instead of public transport.

Am I normal or a weirdo?

@NurseCranesRolodex how would an average person get covid from their oitdoor clothes? What is everyone doing? Licking them?

Yep, licking my clothes, spitting on, wiping hands on, coughing & sneezing on. Wore a face mask, face shield, full apron but own clothes underneath. Does it make sense now?!!!!! As I said, advice was issued via employers and unions to take clothes off asap when getting home.

All the small people I work with were licking etc, not me! So in an unventilated room with door closed, over 6 hours with another adult assisting the air was full of 'it'!

@NurseCranesRolodex ok well if you worked in covid wards that is a little different from the average bear just going to an office or the shops isn't it?
