What are your 'hygiene horrors' - slightly irrational things that just send you insane?

[Legacy]

I have realised today that two of mine are:

• putting 'outside things' on the kitchen table e.g. DH comes in with the picnic bag we've had sitting on a field (of cow dung, for all I know) today and plonks it straight on the kitchen table - drives me mad! I always put it on the floor or a chair.

Similarly, having suitcases on the bed. I just think of all the places those suitcases have been, all the dust, dirt etc and I don't want to think of it going on my nice clean bedspread. (This could be related to an incident with an early boyfriend of mine, when he put my suitcase down on the pavement in a pile of dog poo? )

• newspapers on the sofa. If you looks at how much newsprint comes off on your fingers and then imagine it rubbing off on the sofa, and then your clothes....

My DH just things I'm loopy, but these things REALLY annoy me!

Anyone equally mad?

Rinse obviously

cant let anyone share a drink with me dosen't matter if it's a bottle of water a can of pop or a cup of tea if anyone asks for a swig I give them the lot I dont want to share floaters not even with Dp or DC
Also loo door has to be shut at all times I'm often heard screaming is that door shut cos even though it's clean it still has the toilet smell :O

Oh, I rinse veg after peeling atm, but only because I'm pg (listeria and toxo paranoia) - in a non-pg state I wouldn't bother.

Hate public phones - hate mobiles too, though, for other reasons (we recently, reluctantly got one but 9 times out of 10 I forget I have it), so am between a rock and a hard place.

Public toilets freak me out. Only use them in EXTREME situations. Used to leave public loo unflushed than have to touch it to flush until a friend of mine told me she pushes flusher down with her foot. Works a treat!

Thought id pop in for some insperation to sort my house out.

How on earth does anyone have the time to clean, i mean exsessivly? I have 2 young ones and everytime i go on a mission everything is all undone and i am too exughsted to try anymore!
Cant iorn because ds thinks its something to climb, cant mop floors untill in bed! Clean toilets with lil ones around? geesh impossable! Everything i do its a huge mission (cries)

scurries off for more tea ready to slump down piled with mess and seeks for more insperation

I have complete cod tendencies when it comes to hair i sit and pick every last one out the bath or shower before i get in and god forbid if it touches my food the whole lot is in the bin.

Same with greese i refuse point blank to do the dishes beucase dp insits on leaving dirty dishes in the sink and then cold water gets poured on them and goes rank.

DP reads cookery book whilst on the loo. I think is foul. Dont care if he reads anything else...but just not cookery books which are (sometimes) used in the kitchen. Ugh.

eww hae the water in the snk left too

I feel whole, I'm not a nutter after all, there are other people in the world that think like me!!

I can't bear washing up without rubber gloves on - eeewww

Blimey!! Just read through all of this and am now feeling suitably slatternly. Personally don't use public loos but kids do in emergency. Don't mind bags on kitchen table espec if unpacking food as it's better than pup slobbering over food, can always clean table after!! I do have a slight thing about clean towels due to appalling hygiene standard of my parents whilst growing up (v long list that would make most of you gag in horror) and hate it when dh bites his nails then throws it on carpet if he thinks I'm not looking!!!(might be grounds for divorce if he keeps it up)
