Or this is one of those hyperannoying “I see you fell for this bait, I did too, now you have to post it yourself and tag the next 25,000 people who reply to yours so that they have to do it, too” memes.
@awk It is amazing that when I was young, traveling the subway 5 days a week, I only got sick once in a while. How many more germs can you find in one place?
Not whatsoever! Rarely wash my hands(unless food prep is involved) and if I drop a piece of food on the ground I stick to the 10 s̶e̶c̶o̶n̶d̶ minute rule!
@sicc574 Obviously you don’t have pets because then you’d know food doesn’t stay on the floor long enough to get past the 5 second rule much less 10 minutes.
@sicc574 I want to shake your hand…not! I’m with you on the floor to mouth rules though. I hate to waste food. But, I do wash my hands regularly throughout the day, especially and always after bathroom breaks.
@sicc574 If food hits the floor here, it stops being food. I don’t eat things that visibly have cat hair stuck to them, and even if I just swept, anything that hits the floor will be covered with cat hair immediately.
@accelerator@sicc574
Amount of time that something is ‘safe’ after it hits the floor is directly proportional to its value. If I drop a radish I may rinse it off or I may throw it in the chicken bucket, aka compost bucket. If I drop a t-bone steak you bet your ass I’m going to pick that sucker up and rinse it off.
Eggs however are a whole different matter.

Some years ago my sister and I were taking a Trader Joes Cranberry Pie out of the oven at our mother’s house and it slipped onto the floor. We actually picked it up and served it anyway because at that time her floors were immaculately spotless!
I’m 110% full blown OCD, (not to mention another 1/2 dozen or so other disorders. It’s ok, I don’t bite, not any more anyway since they keep me so… medicated)
Really, it’s that bad, I have a small bottle of hand sanitizer in the pocket of EVERY coat I own, one in my truck, a small one and a medium size one in my back pack that goes everywhere I do. I’d make… well… beg my wife to keep one in every pocketbook she has and one in her car too.
That was before COVID. Now I just stay home. Really. All the time. Part of the reason is only 1/2 of one of my lungs functions, I have bronchiectasis, and my immune system is somewhat… fucked.
My pulmonologist keeps telling if I have another serious flare up he’ll put me in the hospital under the care of a virologist and I’ll have to start getting blood transfusion therapy. I really don’t want anyone else’s blood put in me, I’m sure you can guess why.
My boyfriend always tells me I’m afraid of germs bc he thinks I wash my hand a lot but as a girl I think it’s just proper hygiene. I wash my hands after going the bathroom and touching gross stuff like the garbage can (outside one, the inside one is kept clean). But I think that’s the difference between men and women, women wash their hands after going the bathroom and men don’t. As a good friend told me why men don’t wash their hands after using the bathroom (while out in public) is bc the public bathroom is gross and after you wash you hands you get them dirty again by touching faucet, door, ect. Their dick is the cleanest thing in their so they use it (the urinal) and wait for someone else to walk in so they can walk out.
So now anytime I have to shake a man’s hand the first thing I think is “did you wash your hands after you touched your dick today”
@Star2236 My wife and daughter were in the restroom of a fast food restaurant several years ago and an older woman told my daughter that women don’t have to wash their hands after using the bathroom because they don’t have to touch their private parts.
Only when ot comes to bodily fluids and food prep.
@kjady i would say only when bodily fluids are used in food prep
@jaybird
@jaybird @kjady Sooo, no blood sausage for you then?
@awk @jaybird No and I don’t eat blood filtering organs either.
Only when it comes to stuff that goes into my ears.
Everything is covered in semen!
@edguyver14 I think you meant to post this in another tab.
@awk @edguyver14 Or, perhaps this was supposed to be an inPrivate window search that inadvertently ended up in a meh forum post. Hey, it happens.

@awk @edguyver14 @werehatrack Hahaha! I’m going to give you a like for this one. Talk about going viral.
No, I’m the opposite. I like my immune system to get challenged. At least when there isn’t a novel virus pandemic going around.
@awk The problem is, kids just don’t eat dirt nowadays, like back in my time. (I don’t thinking kissing cell phones does the same job.)
@awk @phendrick Or boogers for that matter!
@sicc574 Disagree. Every one of my children ate their boogers. Until I caught them and yelled at them.
@kalma @sicc574 then they just hid it from you.
@cornchip @kalma @sicc574 Or, wiped them on the back of the couch.
@accelerator @cornchip @kalma @sicc574 Or stuck them to the underside of the dining table.

Yes, diagnosis-level OCD, not “OMG, I’m so OCD!”
Not whatsoever! Rarely wash my hands(unless food prep is involved) and if I drop a piece of food on the ground I stick to the 10 s̶e̶c̶o̶n̶d̶ minute rule!

Time saver… food and floss at the same time!

@accelerator @chienfou Eggs are an always pick up and eat for me too… Just hate it when I have to get a straw out to finish it off
@accelerator @Kyeh @sicc574
Yeah, got to love it. Mom’s floors were probably cleaner than my counters on most days!

@Star2236 Real men wash their hands after peeing. Chemists do it before.

@Limewater
What a horrible older women. And that’s why you don’t talk to strangers lol
Yes? No?
I suppose you could say I have a healthy respect for what they can do, and a realistically cautious attitude.
