And I'm with you on the hand blow dryer. YUK! I usually just leave with drippy hands! And what am I supposed to use to (a) turn off the faucet (my elbow!? )and (b) open the door. And its nice to know I"m not the only one out there that does that!

I'm still thinking. Just kidding. I was going to say the public restroom door thingy....Yeah...I do that too. And the blow dryer for hands. I'll wipe my hands on my jeans before I'll use one of those! Armywife...I'm with you. I have a favorite Chinese buffet place. ;D I just close my eyes and eat. One time I even found a piece of a *chore girl* in my food! I can't stand to touch paper and get that dried paper feel right after I've had my hands in water...eeek...gives me the willy's. I absolutely cannot even think about getting out of water after swimming and walking in the sand and then having that sand dry on my feet without freaking out!! I absolutely hate that feeling! There is a commercial and it shows a little girl sitting at a table dangling sandy feet and I freak!! To me it's like nails on a blackboard thing to most people, which doesn't bother me at all!

Humm where to start . . . When grocery shopping, I tend to get stuff stuck in my head. I think "I need brown sugar" so I get some. The following week, I think "I need brown sugar", so I get some. Of course, I get home and realise I don't need brown sugar, I bought some last week, but the next week "I need brown sugar" pops back into my head".
17 boxes later, I'll give up on brown sugar and think "I need paper towels" . . . .
Use a shopping list like a normal person? I write them up, and always forget to bring them.

Your comments about your shopping quirks reminded me of mine. I am the exact opposite. There is something which prevents me from shopping beyond an immediate need. So if I have 10 napkins left at home and I am in the napkin aisle staring at the napkins I don't buy them because I don't need them today. As a result of this weirdness, I practically live in the supermarket. Everyone know me and says hello to me. ;D And whoever it was that said that they have to wet both hands, I am the same way. ;D As to public bathrooms, I don't touch either. And after a flush, I get out of the stall ASAP. I read that the flushing shoots the bacteria into the air. Gross right?

and EWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I'll just stop flushing!! Just make sure you are ready to run, flush, hold your breath and go!!!!!! ;D Although with the electronic flushers this is more difficult. You have to just hold your breath from flush to exit. ;D And then go home and shower...

I just saw on t.v. (unfortunately didn't finish watching it to get the results) where 2 guys placed toothbrushes all around a bathroom. Some close to the toilet, and other's at different distances, to see if the toothbrushes did actually pick up bacteria from the flushing toilet etc.
Now I wish I had watched the end of the program. I might have had something intelligent to say. ;D

Okay, I actually started life as a biology major . For a micro-biology class we had to go around a swap a bunch of different stuff and culture. Actually, the back of the toilet (like where the hinge on the seat is) was pretty clean. Couldn't get much of anything to grow on it. Now if you want gross, just touch a pay-phone (thank GOD for cell phones, only MY germs) or a door handle.
