Exactly @Zoffiel, don't touch their chair arms or their magazines. Every Dick, Tom and Harry with a snotty nose, herpes cold sores or F**k knows what has either wiped their nose. or worse, licked their finger then turned the page on these items, You then, poor sucker, arrive, lick your finger then turn that same cootie laden page and Ring - a - ding -ding...get sick. My go to technique is to wear a jacket with two bloody big pockets, and keep my hands in them so as not to touch all this bug soup in the waiting room.
