Hand-washing ~ too much, or not?
There are people who wash their hands a lot, according to some. I also wash my hands to excess, as per others. And, I use a paper towel, or tissue, or something when I open a public door, and if I have nothing with me I might use my shirttail. I have this tube of antibacterial hand cleaner in my handbag or my pocket ‘at all times’ just to be on the safe side, to clean my hands if I didn’t have a tissue, etc.
This reminds me of a hand washing incident ~ mine!
When I was working at the psychiatrist’s office and was spotted coming back from the restroom with a paper towel in my hand that I had used to open the door as I came into the office, the doctor teased me about being obsessive-compulsive with my hand cleaning. I proudly said, “Well if it needs a name, I guess that would be it!”
And I might add, rather proudly, I have very few colds, etc., even during times when ‘the bug’ is going around. So, I rest my case!
Have a good day, y’all!
