ask yourself when the last time anyone might have cleaned the lines.
think of the filth that's been growing in the beer lines of your local pub or saddledome.

I think of that when I see gas station slurpees. How often are the machines cleaned? And how often are the nozzles cleaned?

You all are ruining everything!

Plus think about when you’ve got someone in there weezing the juice.

I have a friend that is a public health inspector. The only thing that he doesn't do as a result of what he knows - he doesn't use hotel swimming pools.

I hate when you are on the bus, or whatever form of public transit and you can see the imprint of someone's oily grubby face/head on the window where they were leaning on it.



Also -- the number of women that don't wash their hands in the bathroom is pretty gross. We are supposed to be the fairer sex! Wash your hands princess! Just knowing how many don't wash their hands is enough to make me scrub mine when I'm in there.

Sliver? Have a cat in the house? You're talking to the originator of the Garage Cat, remember?

(that was Sliver, I think )

I've also heard you never ever use hotel jacuzzi tubs. The water settles in the pump, probably the dirty stuff. You think the cleaners cycle the pump with water for awhile? Hell no. So when you turn it on it's blasting used water at you.

I've always thought toothbrushes are disgusting

By far it's cell phones AINEC. I laugh at people who are germophobes, especially the ones who use an extra paper towel to open the washroom door. Those are the same people when you hand them a cell phone to take a look at the newest photos they eagerly grab it. The same phone that has been jerked off with a hundred times. The same phone that's partaken in thousands of ####s. The same phone that probably been last sanitized (actually wiped down and cleaned thoroughly) at the phone factory.

Cell phones are by and large the filthiest thing you will ever touch. Even your own. And yet I have yet to see a single human ever refuse to hold someone's phone when it's handed to them. Next time you see that guy in the washroom who has to plaster the toilet seat with TP or use a napkin to open the door, hand him your crusty jizzy pooey cellphone to show him the latest Instagram photo and watch as he holds it without a second thought.

The nozzle, itself, for sure. They're nasty. The only thing you really need to fear at a dispenser are the Black Widows who like being around any units that have a diesel line on them.

Any sort of keypad. ATMs, debit machine, etc etc. Those are nasty.
Also...any hotel glass/cup that isn't individually wrapped.

Finding hair in my food is disgusting. Bad enough with home cooking, but finding it in a restaurant or prepared meal puts me close to Vomitville.

I have a theory that all hypochondriacs are germophobes but not all germophobes are hypochondriacs.

Probably not much bacteria on them though, just gas.

On the handle? I think it's dirty.

I also agree 100% with the cell phone comment above. I don't touch other people's phones and I clean mine with Lysol or alcohol wipes every couple days.

[Fuzz]

Dirty as in grimy, ya but any bacteria isn't going to live very long with all the fumes and spillage.

Young children are pretty gross. Cash too. Cash is not as gross as kids are though.

[Coach]

Avocados.

By the time a piece of mail arrives, lets say 3 days on average, are the germs that someone licked onto the envelope still viable? It's am honest question. I really don't know or care too much about germs.

[GGG]

Some days I go lick door handles in Lake Bonivista.

Wow, some of you guys are delicate.
