GERMS!
I'm not sure when it happened but I've been a germaphobe for some time now. However when I was a kid, I would eat raw hamburger meat, jump into a garbage dumpster, and drink from a stranger's glass.
Now the raw hamburger meat was a "perk" of working at my dad's grocery store, since the butchers made it to sell so there'd be some left over.
The reason I was jumping into garbage dumpsters, if it was overflowing, the stock boys would take a big piece of cardboard, lay it on top of the garbage and jump on it to compact it down.
Drinking from a stranger's glass was one time only. My parents were having a pool built in our backyard and my mom made lemonade for them. They had finished for the day so my friend and I were playing in the backyard. That's when I spotted the half filled(empty) glass and since it was summer, I was hot and thirsty.
Nowadays, I worry about the temperature of my oven when cooking. Can't tell you how many times I've burnt french fries and veggie burgers.
At work, I use the paper towel I've dried my hands with in the bathroom to open the doors between it and the office. Thankfully I no longer feel like I need to use hand sanitizer since it's not good for you.
One reason I'm this bad now is that I've seen people use the bathroom and not wash their hands when they're done. Another is the news specials about germs and where they are found.
