Day 12 – Something I Am OCD About

This one is easy! Hands-down, it is hand washing! It just totally does me in to be in a public bathroom (and that's a whole 'nother post entirely!) and to have people leave without washing their hands. It is especially problematic if there are no paper towels because I am, then, forced to touch the contaminated door handle with my freshly-washed hands after the offenders have touched it with their "potty" hands. ICKY!

One thing that gets to me the absolute worst is food handlers that wipe their noses with their hands and then carry on with food prep/handling without washing their hands before coming in contact with the food. I understand that sometimes a person get an itch that they have to scratch or whatever, but after doing so, they should wash their hands. I don't know anyone that wants a booger-burger...and even if someone else does, I sure don't!

I have called food handlers on it many times, telling them to wash their hands and never mind about what I ordered because I don't want it anymore. One in a local KFC had the nerve to argue with me on it because "I don't handle the food". Sure, fine, but she was handing me back boogerty change. OY!

So, my biggest OCD thing is demanding proper personal hygiene and not having people share their mucus with me, because I don't want it. I don't want to see it. I don't want to touch it. And I sure don't want to eat it!
