The Germiest Places in America

Funny enough, people must know me as some kind of germ-o-phobe. Well, I kind of am one, and I've only gotten worse since MetaBaby was born.

MetaDaddy and a friend, completely independent of each other, sent me a link to an article by Health titled The Germiest Places in America.

Ew. Like I didn't have enough problems, now I have to start worrying about my sink more, which I already obsess about. It really brought out my inner Monk, which honestly, is more an outtie than an innie these days.

Here's a snapshot of the list, but feel free to go there if you really need to know more:

1. Your kitchen sink - Our sink is usually empty, and I clean it often. And yet, ew.
   
2. Airplane bathrooms - It's a port-a-potty in the sky.
   
3. A load of wet laundry - Ya, that makes sense.
   
4. Public drinking fountains - Ya, now I understand why bottled water got so popular.
   
5. Shopping cart handles - Done.
   
6. ATM buttons - I'm going to need more hand wipes.
   
7. Your handbag - I don't care who, when or why...never put your bag on the floor in a public bathroom.
   
8. Playgrounds - I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be that weird mom who cleans the jungle gym and swings. *le sigh*
   
9. Mats and machines and health clubs - Obviously, this is why I don't go to the gym. I knew there was a good reason.
   
10. Your bathtub - This makes sense, but I didn't need to hear it. I'm gonna have to go do some cleaning, now.
    
11. Your office phone - I used to have a bottle of alcohol in my desk...for strategic wipe downs. Crazy or not, those who laughed at me also borrowed it ;-)
    
12. Hotel room remote - Never trust anything in a hotel. Cross your fingers for a duvet because the covers get changed. Otherwise, just sleep without a comforter...you know why.
