How 'germ-conscious' are you?

Blurgh,

I was just wondering how 'germ-conscious' you guys are, so that's like how fussed you are over germs (e.g. not sharing food with others)?

I'm completely obsessed with it, I don't share food with anyone (even my own family :L - it's like a challenge for me to eat from the same butter tub as them LOL), share drinks - and if people get too close to me, it's just ewww even their breath annoys me LOL.

But ye, I only got germ obsessed 'cause of the whole Swine flu thing which made everyone panic and think that they were gonna get it, so yeah I was like -washes hands for 20 mins ;) -.

But yeah, are you lot germ-conscious or not really bothered... seriously, if you can pick up a piece of food off the floor and eat it, Ewww.

i'm not germ-conscious at all. cleaning requires doing. i'm impatient. i don't like sharing cups or bottles but that's it. i'll even eat from someone's food they've already bitten but won't let them do it to mine. i can eat food that i drop on the floor, what a waste lol obv if it's not in a dusty or dirty place

A little, I wash my hands thoroughly and frequently, I try to avoid touching bathroom door handles with my bare hands but I'm happy to share food/drink depending on the person.

Not at all. Dettol adverts are annoying and people who use it deserve the illnesses they're inevitably going to get. Doctors do not support it and germs are good for building a natural, healthy immunity. I won't share food with some people, though, but that's usually because I don't like what they're eating :P I guess it depends to what degree you consider comfortable when sharing food.

I won't eat something that someone else has literally drooled on, but I don't mind eating something that has been placed on the same fork someone has eaten off, though if the fork has been placed on a kitchen countered covered in stuff I won't use it, so I guess that's out of hygiene, but not necessarily germs - cross-contamination.

I'm only a little germ conscious. Sharing drinks I don't really mind, depending on the person. Sharing food is okay with me ishhh. I wash my hands quite a lot. I won't eat food if it drops on the floor, regardless to how long it's been on there or if it's a really clean surface! :P

never share drinks, thats just eww.. dont mind sharing finger food (chips etc.) but would never let someone bite a burger then bite it after.. vile, dont eat dropped food all apart from that i'm not very germ-concious

I would say I am to an extent I hate using public toilets and I carry hand gelaround. I don't really mind sharing food tbh but I hate sharing my drink

I never eat off the floor-throws up- nor pick up things that have fell on the floor (eg. fork etc) I wouldnt share a drink with someone, but sharing food is ok i suppose. I shared a pizza once with ma friend..

If the person has a cold or something, I am SO conscious, I cannot stand colds.. haha,

But usually I wouldn't careless with sharing food or drink or anything like that, haha :P

The only think I don't like, is straws.. I can't use the same straw as someone else, but I could drink out of the same cup...

Weird, right? :S

LMAO same tom. When people have coughs and they don't cover their mouths i'm like :l
but yea it's not something that enters my mind really. I share my food and don't mind drinking from a bottle after someone else has.

Maybe a little. Sometimes i don't like sharing food with other people. And i hate touching door handles :l

Not all the time. I won't eat other people's food but people do eat mine.

I'm not that germ conscious but if someone doesn't cover their mouth whilst coughing or their nose whilst sneezing it's pretty disgusting. I always wash my hands after using the toilet, preparing food etc though, I'm not fussy about sharing water bottles with people etc.

NOT Very i dont see hwy i should be

i don't share drinks, or bite someone elses food, or anything, i'll let them take my food and eat it, just not someone elses..

I'm not conscious at all. Go toilet, don't wash hands. Play in mud, don't wash hands. etc etc

I ain't eating with you then Mr!

I always wash my hands after the toilet, and after science lessons, mud etc. I share food with others and have their food, not keen on sharing drinks but I do sometimes.

it depends on how hygienic the other person is. If their greasy little kids who look like they haven't showered in a week then I wont stand within 5 meters of them. Dont mind sharing food if someones got good hygiene.

I don't mind sharing food or drinks but it depends on the person really. I wash my hands quite a lot but I'm not thats germ conscious :P

I wouldn't say I was very germ concious. I keep handsanitiserin my school bag but only because it smells of lemons. I like lemons. I have this thing with people touching my food though, I hate it. I especially hate it when people eat food and don't close their mouths and they end up spitting it all over you - lovely way to spread your germs.

I'm OCD about certain things so germs are a big thing to me. I'd only share a drink/bottle/glass with someone I know very well. I was my hands frequently and take antibacterial gel with me everywhere if there are no sinks when I'm out and about.

The thing I'm worst with is public toilets! I can't touch anything. Like, I'll open the cubicle door with my hand covered and when I'm flushing the loo I'll use the loo roll to touch it with then throw it down after it. They really freak me out, so I use them as little as possible.

Saying that though, my room is an absolute tip with half full glasses everywhere that must be collecting germs so I can't be that bad... On that note, I might go clean it! D;

veryvery germ conscious around food and drink not with sharing as such but i'm obsessed with germs being on food which is desknfces it's annoying to say the least.

I used to be a lot when i was younger. But now i'm a lot less, better to live life than to fear it

I really am, to the extent where I don't like to use other peoples toilets and cutlery.

I will not share any food or drink. Actually I will share food in a situation like I have a chocolate bar and I give them a piece. I will not take a piece from them or let them take a bite into the bar itself or even touch it or I will not have any of it anymore. I rinse out my glass before I drink out of it, I wash my hands after the toilet (which should be done anyway). Toilets in public places don't bother me so much until I walked into a cubicle which the toilet is just covered in **** which is where I feel sick and is the reason I don't actually use public toilets.

I don't like sharing drinks or food with other people, I find it pretty disgusting and I can't eat food that's been dropped on the floor. I always rinse glasses out before I drink from them and I don't like eating at fast food places.

I am really germconcious. I hate sharing drinks except with my best friend I even hate sharing drinks with my family. I always wash my hands and even carry handsanitizer around with me :$ If I drop something on the floor i'll eat it but only if it's in my house.

I'm quite germ-conscious, I don't like using public toilets or even toilets at other peoples houses and I refuse to eat at other peoples houses too because of various reasons. I get really picky about these things sometimes. I hate eating in the canteen because its so filthy.
