- I would unravel a little bit of the toilet paper and throw it away (in case the person before had touched it) then I'd unravel the toilet paper that I would use.
- I never actually sat on the toilet to pee. I squatted.
- If I had to sit (for obvious number two reasons) I would put soap and water on a paper towel and wipe the entire toilet seat. Then I'd take a dry paper towel and wipe it dry. Next, I'd put not one, but two toilet seat covers.
- I never used my hand to flush the toilet
- I would meticulously wash my hands afterward. But before I washed my hands, I would crank out the paper towel (so I wouldn't have to touch it after I washed my hands).
- Using the paper towel that I used to dry my hands, I'd open the door (so I wouldn't have to touch the filthy door handle).
Some non-restroom germ phobe stuff I did included:
- At restaurants, I would wipe my silverware down with a napkin.
- I constantly carried a hand sanitizer with me and used it like a maniac.
- I never opened doors with my whole hand or I used a paper towel to open it.
- I NEVER drank water from the water cooler at work (this actually reduced the number of times that I got sick during the year). It's disgusting. People are always filling their water bottles and there was constantly lipstick on the spout.
- I never ate anything that dropped onto the table. Let alone the floor.
- My kids pick up crumbs off the floor of my car (that looks like it's a week old) and eat it (I know, why aren't I shop vac-ing my car).
- My son plays and drinks poop infested water.
- The Princess actually touches the toilet seat when she pees (aaahhh!) and she touches everything.
- The kids eat everything that falls on the floor or table.
- They suck on the wash cloth after I've used it to wash them (Yuck! It's touched their bottoms!).
- They touch everything and constantly have their hands in their mouths.
- I'll catch the Princess itching her butt (inside her panties).
