Why do people feel the need to touch mirrors?
I am not talking about little kids fingerprints, they touch everything in the process of learning. I am talking about almost full grown teen and adult fingerprints.
You have seen it in public restrooms and probably cleaned them off of mirrors in your own house. What possible reason can there be to touch the mirror?

People touch EVERYTHING. It’s only the fact that the mirror reveals the evidence of this that leaves you the illusion it is singled out for special abuse.
Well..better than kiss marks. Now that’s revolting. I’m too sexy for this mirror…LOL
Leaning against it for stability as you apply makeup?
Wiping steam off it after a shower (at home, at least).
Wiping off steam is a good one. Everyone does that.
You know how sometimes when you’re brushing your teeth and the toothpaste particles fly all over and onto the mirror? I can imagine some people (not me though! I swear!) trying to wipe off the toothpaste and getting fingerprints all over.
That’s Candyman comin to getcha
(Just FYI…if you have a blow dryer handy it clears and dries the mirror in just a few seconds.)
I go with people touch everything. What came to mind is being on a road after it snows. You can see the tracks of cars that have gone before you. Unbelievable where some of tracks head off the road, and how often.
Next time I touch a mirror I’ll try to remember it.
This may sound dumb but….I’ve rarely seen a mirror cabinet in the bathroom having a handle.At the very best, there’s a very small one. People gave to grab the mirror if they want to open it. It can easily happen that some decide to grab it from the corner and leave their fingerprints.
