I'm a clean freak and a germaphobe - I have hand sanitizer in my pocket.
He had a mania for washing and disinfecting himself. . . . For him the only danger came from the microbes that attacked the body. He had not studied the microbe of conscience which eats into the soul.
I've been profoundly germophobic since I was a young child. I don't want to kiss anyone but my girlfriend for my whole life.
I used to wash my hands every ten minutes. I couldn't step out of the house unless I had gloves on. I wouldn't smoke a cigarette unless I opened the pack myself, and I would never use another cigarette out of that pack if someone else had touched it.
Friend Tim shakes hands with Perfect Specimen of Mankind. Will never wash right hand again.
I don't like dirt. Cleanliness is high on my agenda, but I don't have a phobia of dirt. I'm just not keen on it. I don't really like dirty people or houses or smelly things.
I don't like to use toilets - ever.
I'm a germophobe, so I don't like people talking over my food, breathing, spitting, anything. Just let me eat in peace.
I'm always in a hotel room, and I spend a good portion of my day setting it up so it's comfortable for me. Whether that means making paths out of towels so I don't touch the carpet or removing the comforters or just not touching things. Even sitting on a plane with a bunch of other people - it's really hard for me.
I'm a little bit of a germophobe - not that bad!
