I worked in a fancy pants grocery store for a few years, and the samples of product were plentiful. Around mealtimes the sample vultures are out in full force, snacking their way around the store. Most disgusting things that I’ve seen people do when confronted with free food that they are required to help themselves to? I saw one man that didn’t like what he tasted, and spit it back into the tray. Little children with snotty noses, and filthy fingers picking through cheese cubes till they find the one that tempts them. Using a toothpick, and instead of tossing it in the garbage, they replace it in the box. GROSS!!

Public handrails. I’d rather fall down the stairs.

I know a couple people who literally grab cereal out of the box with their hands. It drives me crazy, its so disgusting. I mean it seems like its more difficult than just pouring it into a cup or bowl. *shudders*

I hate that people who insist on not sitting on the public toilet are the ones who leave it the messiest of all… Wiping up other people’s pee grosses me out to no end. (However, I have no problem changing my brother’s kids’ diapers).

Also, dog poop on shoes. Ugh.

shopping carts are one of the worst for me. if some supermarkets hadn’t begun the practice of providing disinfectant wipes i would have started wearing gloves.

I used to have a supv. who would lick her finger to turn pages. She had triplets who were always “down with” something. “Where’s your rubber fingertip?” Ewwwwwww…

Tooth roots. I shudder even thinking about them. I had to have my wisdom teeth out and the oral surgeon tried to FORCE me to look at the X-rays. It was traumatizing.

I know a lot of people who absolutely refuse to sit on public toilet seats–or on toilet seats of friends’ houses! Me, I could care less! The skin of your behind is not going to transfer germs directly into your system, and your hands get washed right after anyway… Unless people like that touch their behinds and then their eyes/nose/mouth often? Just seems a bit like overkill to me.

along with coffe pot to coffee cup, how about water cooler tap to water bottle? particularly since my office water cooler tap looks kinda grungy…
