I've been known to walk around outside in my filthy bunny slippers, and I get all my waxing done at the cheap double-dipping places, but there are just a few germy things that I cannot stand the thought of. What are yours?
Nut Dispensers
I’ll eat a stale gum-ball any day, but the thought of those old crumbly nuts macerating in their own oils just makes me ill. Besides, they always end up tasting less like nuts, and more like lead poisoning.
Sinks

Kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, any sinks. I read once that sinks are one of the dirtiest places in the kitchen. If I touch the inside of one of them, it’s another hand-soaping. Dishes that end up sitting in the sink must be scoured on the bottom before being put on the drying rack.

Doorknobs

I hate opening doors if I have to use my hands. I try to either make use of my jacket sleeves or at least touch them with as few fingers as possible. Push-to-open doors are the best.

Escalators
I hate touching them. Especially in train station and malls. Ew. Dirty.

Automatic Toilets
…when they go off when you least expect it…
Restaurant Salt Shakers
They say these are dirtier than a public bathroom!

Ketchup Squeeze Bottles In Restaurants
I’ve seen what goes on in restaurants. Even when I worked at one of the snottiest places in Chicago I saw pieces of melted Saran-Wrap in people’s calamari, and cigarette butts wedged in soy pots. I have no delusions that deep-cleaning of the ketchup bottles is a viable part of side-work at your average diner.
Pay Phones
Do people really still use these anymore? I’d rather ask a stranger on the street to borrow a cell phone. And why does everyone think it’s a good idea to cram into phone booths and take photos? Hopefully they will soon become rare enough to validate this practice.
Feet

Feet are useful. I get that. But I’d like them to stay as far away from me as possible. If I touch my foot, or anyone else’s, that’s a hand washing. Or a fierce scrubbing at the point of contact.

Restaurant Ice
A Chicago Sun-Times article printed last year showed that restaurant ice often contains more bacteria than toilet water…
Port-o-potties
No. Never, ever, ever. Not even if there was no other alternative. For miles. Days, even.
The last time I was in one, I needed a lobotomy to forget the experience.
No. Just no.

Shopping Cart Trauma
OK, WHY aren’t you thinking about those gross shopping carts? We’ve been warned! In L.A they have pre-shopping wipes for the handles. I live in Chicago…and I NEVER remove my gloves; then I come home and wash my gloves!

ELEVATOR BUTTONS!
You know that those suckers are NEVER washed! All day long, touched, touched, touched! Gives me an anxiety attack just thinking about it!
