When I eat my food, I like all parts separated. For example, I don't like brocolli juice seeping over to my chicken, or my corn sliding over to the stuffing. I have to eat with plate separators or only put two food items on my plate if there are not plates available with the separators in them, around. I hate to see people eating candied yams with a spoonful of collard greens mixed in nasty.

You don't like a clean butt?

I can eat mashed potatoes without corn, but I can't eat corn without mashed potatoes. I mix them on my plate. It's a habit from when I was a kid, having roast, potatoes and corn on a Sunday afternoon. I'm 41 and still do it. I make some great mashed potatoes and sometimes I make them with corn in them.

The only corn I eat alone is on the cob, but that's rare. I have a phobia of breaking a tooth eating corn on the cob (although that's never happened to me)0.

Wow, that's horrible. When I was younger, I assumed most nurses and doctors are just as germophobic as I am, but I've learned that many strangely are not.

I never confront them about it, but when any of my friends' kids go to the bathroom and I don't hear the faucet run afterward...I avoid their kids for a while. I actually had to pretend I was full as I was eating a shared tray of nachos my best friend made because her kid ran to the bathroom, didn't wash his hands, and would pluck shit off the nacho he didn't like, letting it fall back onto the remaining nachos.

I used to not worry much about that sort of thing (I washed my own of course, but didn't pay attention to others washing theirs) until 10 or so years ago I had the privilege of working at The Olive Garden and cleaning their bathrooms. You would think at least 50% of people wash their hands before going back to eat, but no, not really.

there was a microbiologist on TV who was against the proposed introduction of hosing down shopping trolleys each day with anti-fungal/anti-bacterial spray. He said without regular contact with a wide variety of "germs" our immune systems become very weak (something to that effect). I suspect those working in healthcare have a pretty good idea of just how harmful or NOT harmful most of them are. YES scrub your hands and arms before surgery and yes wash your hands in between patients and after you use the bathroom, that's important.
There is such a thing as over sanitising, and I think it's potentially detrimental.

Yes, but if you are cutting cake for a group of people after working in a school all day, who knows what the hell is on your hands.
If you want to eat with dirty hands, then rock on... but if your are fixing something for me:
If I wash my own hands before touching food, why would I want your germs?

I agree with JustErin: I have a hard time eating other people's cooking. Mainly because I'm not sure how clean they are when they cook.

chocolate1 said:

I wouldn't eat at a BBQ if I saw the host carry in the cooked chicken/meat in the same dish he carried it out in raw. That's about it!

ZombieKitten said:

But if they did that with no regard for germs where you could see them, imagine what "dirty" things they do when no one's looking!

chocolate1 said:

I think that might not be a disregard necessarily, it's just ignorance of cross-contamination - that person might even be very clean and just never realised until you tell them (ie. my husband - handwasher )

ernestsewell said:

I do - there is just something about the image of someone leaving the toilet seat with an unwiped posterior that I find unpleasant. Another idiosyncrasy, I guess.

ZombieKitten said:

That's fair...

I gave it a bit of thought as I really didnt believe I had any at first

Can’t sit down on a toilet that isn’t mine… I put paper all over the seat and then hover

Can’t take a shower in a strange bathroom without wearing flip flops! (I take em with me when I visit folk in other cities)

Won’t take a bath in a strange bathroom

Outside shoes can’t be worn inside

I must to wear slippers at all times when in the house..

I have to wear socks with slippers

JOYJOY said:

Me too.

I welcome good salubrious bacteria, but I HATE bad pathogenic bacteria.

WaterInYourBath said:

Im not alone!!

thejason said:

OMG me too! One time as a joke for my b-day my friends gave me a whole bottle of that shit!

WaterInYourBath said:

Oh I am a FREAK about germs! Its starting to drive my hubby crazy! He doesnt she the shit I see at woork! Poeple are just plain GROSS! If you guys only knew..

tinaz said:

I believe you...

JOYJOY said:

Please. I won't take a bath in my own bathroom.

Baths are just bacteria soup.

Genesia said:

Me either! I don't think I've taken a sit down bath in prolly 10 years. Sitting in dirty water is just . . .

SCNDLS said:

And what do you do when you have a man who thinks taking a bubble bath together is romantic? "Here, Honey. Scrub yourself down in the shower with this lye soap - and then we'll talk."

thejason said:

<--planning Easter craft project ESPECIALLY for thejason.

SCNDLS said:

This is why I shower FIRST then take a soak!

tinaz said:

I do the opposite. I soak then rince in the shower.

I loooove baths.

Genesia said:

Please, stop.

When I see couples bathing together in movies it completely disgusts me. You couldn't pay me enough to soak in a tub for hours with a virtual stranger. I also don't get public showers like in a gym OR jacuzzis. I be giving some major side eye to the women in my yoga class who run to the showers and hop in like it's right.

JustErin said:

That's what I'd do too, if I did it regularly. Baths aren't relaxing enough for me to go through the hassle. Shit, I'd rather lay down somewhere. I love me a good, long hot shower tho

SCNDLS said:

OMG. Don't even get me started on the showers at our corporate gym.

I know the women I work with think I'm Filthy McNasty because I don't shower after working out. For crying out loud - I shower every morning, so I'm clean to begin with. I just use baby wipes on any parts that might potentially be "ripe" after the workout and shower when I get home.

You can't tell me my own bacteria are ickier than getting in there with everyone else's.

Genesia said:

And you have NO idea the last time somebody cleaned that joint so that's bacteria + germs x infinity

I never showered in the locker room even in high school. Fuck that.

-I shower too much.
-Bathrooms make me feel nasty. If its not my bathroom im cautious about everything lol
-If one nails breaks, they all gettin clipped
-I will NOT eat bacon if I didn't cook it.
-I can't watch anything that has underwater creatures in it. I will get dizzy.
-I'm scared to sleep on my back.
-I can not drink Lipton tea without milk. Nor can I eat pb&j without milk.
-I get nauseous whenever i'm at a funeral, walk pass a funeral parlor, see a hearse. I never sat through a whole funeral service. My body gets too weak and my mom always has to take me out.
-Ringing phones scare me.
