6 items you touch every day that are filthier than a toilet

PottypigOne person in the office gets the flu, and soon everybody in their row has it. And as paranoid as people think they are about germs these days, with their antibacterial lotions and careful hand-washing after even briefly touching their genitals, the truth is most of us still have no freaking idea where we’re picking up these germs.

But if you carried around a microscope everywhere you went, there are a whole lot of everyday things you’d be a lot more hesitant to rub all over your hands.

  • Soap
  • Money
  • Laundry
  • Your computer keyboard
  • Your telephone
  • Your mouth

  1. I once witnessed a scruffy looking borderline homeless woman diggin in her underwear on a main street screaming “they got me!, they got me, oh hell nah, they got me!” I think she was looking for money. Why it was in her underwear and who would dig in there beats the hell out of me..

  2. Jonco? I hate you. Completely and totally. I am now an official germaphobe. Now excuse me while I go wipe down everything in my house with 4 disinfectant wipes and drink a half gallon of Listerine and Lysol.

    ……..*sigh* Ok, i’m exaggerating, of course. But seriously, I probably will try to get into the habit of using mouthwash twice or thrice a day. Up till now, i only used it while getting ready for bed… =/ Oh and I probably will wipe down my wallet, phone, keyboard, and something else that isn’t mentioned on here that I think would be worse than the keyboard…. the MOUSE. And my ps3 controller…

    Now we know why the aliens in war of the worlds died off and why they never saw it coming. They should have all drank from our toilets instead of harvesting our blood or whatever.
