Germaphobia

Ever since my university life started, my germaphobia has gotten progressively worse, in particular because of public washrooms and showers.

The dorm janitors are pretty nice and clean the showers every week, so there's no reason for me to believe that some flesh-eating virus lurks there. Still, every time the tip of my clothes or towels touch the walls, floor, or curtain, a wave of mental agony surges through my mind. I always shower with sandals on.

Today was the worst. My clothes spilled out of their basket a bit while I was reaching out for them from behind the curtains and the cuffs got wet on the floor. I'm paranoid now that some deadly bacteria has already seeped into my skin and I'll wake up with typophobia-like holes on my skin.

HELP

RE: Germaphobia

Did you know that your keyboard may contain even more germs than your toilet bowl? Do you often wash it?

RE: Germaphobia

I always wash my hands before using the keyboard.

Also, I kinda have a personal philosophy of: "If I can't lick it, avoid touching it if possible." Which is why I get a bit of anxiety when I have to open a door or closet.

RE: Germaphobia

Good answer. Now to the next question: do you touch anything else in the toilets after washing your hands (such as the tap or the door handle)?

You know KFC right? It's all good stuff right?

Well, apparently, the Ice cubes in the drinks have more bacteria than Toilet water. Uh oh.

But everyone CAN lick their keyboards. The only way not to be able to do it. Is by not having a tongue.

Sometimes Moderator's are cruel, but sometimes also funny.
