Re: What's Your Phobia(s)?
I've actually been told that the fear of touching public bathroom fixtures and door handles is not an invalid fear. These are very clear dangers if you are not careful. Did I mention that I wear gloves when shopping using a shopping cart? Once again, this is a very valid concern I have. I look really stupid sometimes with the gloves but I'd rather look stupid than be sick.

I read not too long ago that the average steering wheel of a car has more germs than a typical toilet. Yikes!

I heard that too. Fortunately I am the only one that drives my car; though, I still wear driving gloves.
(man, I'm thinking I may need help)

Driving gloves?????????? Did you wake up thinking you were in England a few decades ago???? LOL!!!!
I assume you do not live in the South. I can just imagine a guy in Louisiana or Mississippi in July driving around with gloves on in 100 degree heat.

Menus at restaurants..... how grody must they be.
Luckily, I'm not even remotely a germ-a-phobe, so I just sail through life without worrying about it too much. I know this one guy who is filthy, filthy, filthy... only bathes a few times a year, and lives in complete and utter filth. I figure if he's still kicking with all of the living organisms that must be around him, I should be fine.

Re: What's Your Phobia(s)?
Eddie and I stand at the door of the church and shake people's hands as they go out - hundreds of people. As soon as we're done, he heads to the restroom and scrubs. Half the time I don't even think about it. I am the least germaphobic person around.
I guess that's why I don't mind the mission field. I just don't think about it. And guess who is the ONLY one who doesn't get sick on missions trips? MOI!

I was recently in the office of a college counselor, talking with him and my son about the testing needed to enter the college this fall. He has a sign on his desk that stated, "Thanks for understanding a no handshake greeting."
He told me that he just returned to work that week, after 4 months.
3 of which were spent in isolation at a hospital because he contracted a rare form of a staff virus.
He had shaken the hands of students for years as a gesture of greeting.
The specialist told him that one of the students most likely had the virus on them from their shower or bathroom in their dorm.
He told me that he will not shake hands again, it almost cost him life and his left leg.
So to wash your hands afterwords would be a good idea.
Never touch your mouth, nose or bite your nails after shaking hands.
That is the most common way of contracting the germs...

He comes occasionally. We all know when he's there. Without looking.

That is why my wife always carries a bottle of the clear handwash. It may not take care of all the jerms. But it does wash some of the junk off.
I was recently at a resturant where you can see the cooks with their hats on behind the grille.
I went to the bathroom, and watched the cook come out of a stall.
He walked right past me and out the door.
I proceeded out the door and tapped him on the shoulder.
I told him please for the love of pete go back and wash your hands...
I could tell by the look on his face, that it was his normal practice.
It was a very nice italian resturant and I have not been back since...
