Skit about refusing hand sanitizer from @ryanisreallypolite

The creator portrays a man who is internally spiraling after a woman in his group refuses his offer of hand sanitizer. Through a voiceover monologue and a montage of scenes, he judges her for being unhygienic, observing her touching public surfaces and eating candy with her hands, culminating in a dramatic sequence where she and a friend joyfully eat candy and play a hand-slapping game while he looks on in comedic horror.

Transcript excerpt
