I like the what the thread is called and agree with most. Nothing will change my mind anyway.

Im pretty sure those 3 things are possible at potlucks lol.

I've reluctantly participated in them in the past, but then I caught a Norovirus at one, and I will never again participate in a pot luck.

Lol. Are people actually reading this thread thinking that the people who think kids or toilet seats or chewing with an open mouth are disgusting have debilitating germ phobias?

You’re bringing up life expectancy? How serious of a topic do you think this is?

I'm not a germaphobe at all. I actually would be somewhat more concerned about inadequate exposure to germs than I would be about exposure to many of the things in this thread. That said, young children are gross. Anyone who disagrees has never watched one carefully.

On the topic of food, I can't understand how people like mixing sweet and savory stuff together. Like berries in salad, cranberries on turkey, or cheese on apple pie.

Maybe disgusting is too strong of a word, but it always grosses me out.

Wow, how ridiculous is that. There are signs everywhere there asking people to step closer and somehow you’re painting me with that brush? To be entirely forthright, the small member stereotype didn’t even cross my mind until you brought it up. I just thought people needed to step closer and didn’t.

These threads always surprise me with how many people are neurotic germaphobes who have presumably never left Canada. Imagine if our grandchildren's generation is as anxious as ours is compared to our grandparents. People will never leave their homes.

All three things are awesome. I draw the line at peach slices in sandwiches.

Right? With debilitating fears like this we are doomed for sure. I always knew people who don’t like cranberries in their salad would be responsible for the downfall of civilization.

Sharing food...eating off other's plates.

Sharing cosmetics like lipstick or lip balm...this is more prevalent among young women or older teenagers.

I’m not painting you with a brush. I prefer painting people with rollers. You get better coverage.

You can find something to be disgusting or gross without being a germaphobe about it.

Incorrect sitting position on the toilet, I think. or their butt’s exit doesn’t just quite line up right.
