You know, I've been thinking about this off and on lately, mainly because I've been working at schools all summer. I wouldn't call myself a germiphobe, but I've been more aware of what I touch and where I've been.

I carry around the antibacterial gel, but I've also been working with computers and phones that haven't been cleaned since they were given to the teachers! There's all this black gunk that's just built up on the keys, and the ear wax clogs the holes in the handset (as well as makeup) and gets on the holder where the handset goes. It really is gross and I wonder how these teachers can use or allow their students to use these when they're plainly sticky and black. But I guess it's really something that people don't think about. How often do you think about cleaning your phone?

It makes me wonder, though, if people wash their hands after going to the bathroom as often as when they touch their pets. Who knows what your dog's been rolling in, even if you don't see the junk on their coat?

I guess I just wanted to throw this out there. I can't really think of a whole lot to add.
