Ten Signs You’re a Germaphobe

1. You get why Big Bang Theory's Sheldon Cooper wears "bus pants," and wish you had thought of it yourself.

2. You stroke your cat with the back of your hand.

3. Your hands get washed, like, ten times when you're switching between cooking and cleaning up the kitchen.

4. While watching a YouTube personality rave about the Bangkok street food samples, you're confident you couldn't take a bite without bringing along a local friend "in the know" about certain carts to avoid.

5. Observing your cat walk around messing with your belongings and jumping on counters, you can't help but think: litter paws.

6. Pumping gas requires hand sanitizing wipes before you touch your steering wheel, bank card, and other stuff.

7. If you drop a tomato on the floor or in the kitchen sink, you wash it with a lil soap and water before eating or serving it (see #5).

8. The rule when sharing a drink with your kid: one gets the straw and one gets to open the lid and sip out of the cup.

9. You grip public door handles in awkward places--the top or bottom--to avoid the grasp of the masses.

10. You hold your breath if someone coughs or sneezes near you in the supermarket.
