 |                         | Fact or fiction: Men own the germiest                          places in the office. 
 Fiction (We were                          surprised too.)
 
 Women's office spaces are three                          to four times germier than their male counterparts'                          office space. How is this possible? Well, women tend to                          have more stuff in general on and around their desk and                          workspace. More stuff translates to more potential                          places with germs.
 
 There were over 100 surfaces                          tested for germs. Here are a few examples of which                          gender has it worse:
 - Telephone:                          Women had more germs than men
 -                          Mouse: Again, women more germs than the men
 - Desk (the actual desk surface):                          Men more germs than the women
