Default Touching helmets

Why is it that every non MC rider feels compelled to touch your helmet if its sitting somewhere and usualy manage to mess with it. Our dumbass secretarty comes in here an dputs a hand and some finger prints on my visor, then an office guy comes in and leans over and puts his hand on it and leans a bit towards it. I told him its a 500 dollar lid and since I am the doc on site I iwll break his arm if he does it again since I can fix the fracture.

Why is it that every non MD in scrubs refers to themselves as a doc when no real DR's are around?

I've never had that issue. The only ones that ever want to touch my helmet are my kids. I'd leave my helmet on a shelf in my office within reach of anyone who enters my office but everyone kept their grubby mits off. I guess engineers respect personal property?

I ride by several bodies of standing water on the way in... my helmet is usually so covered in dead insects when I get to where I'm going that nobody wants to touch my helmet

Funny thing was the guy I had to remind to take his hand off my helmet was either an architect or an engineer.

I bought 3 of those helmet hangers like i saw at the gap i should bring one here so my helmet is up out of the way :thumb:

Mine too!

But at work I keep mine in a bookcase with a folding lid- and before that on the lowest shelf where almost no one could see it. Nobody even tries.

The only time I worry is when I'm at home and the cat or somebody thinks it's okay to just shove it around or place it on the edge of a cabinet. It COST ME $400! WHO's going to pay for it?
