    I work in a doctor's office. Proper sanitizing is my job because it's part of patient care. Like one of the people I work with is responsible for counting how often I clean my hands every month. If she doesn't "see" me clean my hands a minimum of 40 times, I can get in trouble.

    In my personal life I wash my hands before cooking/eating, after I use the bathroom, after changing diapers or cleaning up puke, and when they need it.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I hate the way washing my hands seems to dry them out. It's a really weird and bothersome feel. Because of that, I pretty much never wash my hands.

    Yeah, I'll admit it.

    Yeah, when I was a server, I cleaned my hands a LOT. You're supposed to wash your hands every single time you bus dishes. You can end up washing your hands 50 times in one night. (Unless you have a restaurant which has those wall mounts of hand sanitizer.)

    (SPOILER)of course, I was always allergic to the sterilizer water that restaurants use for towels to clean tables...my hands would crack and bleed so badly, and it didn't help all of the hand-washing I was doing.

    Hey guys want a fun confession?

    I worked in the food court at Target for a year way back in the day.

    You were supposed to wash your hands and wear gloves and things.

    Do you know how often I did either of those?

    If you guessed "never" you're pretty close to correct

    That's really disgusting.

    If you've ever been out to eat, someone has touched your food with their bare hands. But I always made sure my hands were clean if I was going to do that.

    I understand that bit, but some of these guys come in with grease and oil actually dripping or flaking off their hands.

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    I wash my hands pretty often because I don't like them getting dirty or like getting my phone and laptop all germy.

    Unless you regularly put your hands in one (or several) of your bodily orifices while making food, I am not at all disgusted.

    The only time germs bother me is if I'm at work and someone returns multiple books about some kind of illness.

    Doesn't bother me at all. I wash my hands when at the appropriate times - around food, after using the bathroom, etc - and that's about it.

    I'm not anal about it, 'cause being nervous of germs is silly. :3

    My job requires me to wash my hands often, to the point that they dry up too easily because the work soap is rubbish. I have a prescription moisturiser (Epaderm) at my desk. I'm basically responsible for all IT equipment, which means I regularly carry around extremely old, dusty IT equipment which has been used by one of the thousands of people within the building on a regular basis. There have been times I've put my hand into a laptop carry case to pull out a laptop and immediately froze and slowly pulled out my hand, no longer wanting to touch the very sticky casing of the user's laptop. I don't want to know what people do with these things, but when that happens, you immediately wash your hands. Don't get me started on the keyboards.

    Otherwise, yeah, when I go loo I wash my hands and when I have to put in or remove my contacts, I wash my hands. When I have to handle raw chicken I'll wash my hands, too, but that's not a frequent thing.

    As for germs that aren't on me but are instead on an item or a workbench, yeah, I don't like that. If I can see or feel that something that should not be there is there, I'm not keen on it. So, in other words, I wish Danielle would control her jam better when she makes a sandwich. I mean, seriously, I don't even know how she manages to leave a dollop of jam somewhere whenever she makes one. It's not cool. I don't think so much about germs as I think about not wanting to have jam on my hands.

    That, son, is how babies are made.
