And another thing I don't get:
Why is it that we collectively as a civilized society are happy to frequent burger franchises such as McDonalds, Burger King, etc and are happy to eat with our hands? At any other restaurant or café we would expect to be served cutlery to be able to consume our food.
It is rare for me to scoff food without eating irons and if I do ever have a burger and chips it is mainly as a takeaway so that I can go home to use a plate and cutlery. If I don't have such a choice I will make sure that my hands are clean when I sit down to scoff. Having picked up the Norovirus once some years ago I am now paranoid about getting it again. I'm well aware that I could do with losing some weight but losing 14 pounds over two days was an extreme weight loss regime that I do not wish to repeat.
It concerns me when I visit somewhere like McDonalds in that they have iPads for kids to use while eating (and that's another separate issue!) as well as food ordering stations that are all touch screens. How many grotty hands have been there first? How many hands that have not been washed after a visit to the khazi? How many hands that have been swept through greasy hair? How many hands that have been used to scratch various parts of the anatomy? Arse flakes anyone?
It amazes me that so many people are prepared to comply with the regression that eating with our fingers actually is and that it is in some way the accepted, if not preferred, method to consume a burger

We don't take hygiene seriously enough in the UK, most people can't even wash their hands properly. I avoid opening doors & pressing buttons with my hands, I use my shoulder for doors & my knuckle for buttons wherever possible. One thing that really annoys me is when someone in your house has the flu & makes no effort to contain it so everyone else catches it. In Japan & other places, it's routine for people to wear face masks in public if they have a virus, can you imagine that over here? No chance. It's like taking your shoes off before you enter a house, makes perfect sense but it's just not routine behaviour here, which is strange for a nation known for being polite.

Bloody hell Tiger, you sound as OCD as I am about hygiene!
I avoid holding on to rails etc on the train, let others push the door buttons (or use my knuckles), push doors with my elbows and generally avoid all surfaces such as escalator handrails that the great unwashed smother their bodily discharges over. If I have a cold or flu I just hide away, not only to avoid passing it on but just because I don't want fussing around. I'd sooner have some P&Q to let me get over it in my own time.
And as for taking shoes off when going in a house, I do that as a matter of course too, it is all about respecting others and their property.
Sam.

Sam. Think you’ve got a touch of the Howard Hughes there Sam! Not so much that Essex, it may surprise some on here but I actually have strict standards. Sam.

Me too Sam. That’s why I don’t frequent crap forums.
Only interesting ones with friendly, engaging types.
Like this one .........

Toilet flush handles/buttons are the worst, no one flushes after they've washed their hands do they? Toilet seats are no problem, lift them with your foot
Butter & margarine, greasy muck, never understood why people like it.
