I admit I’m a bit of a CLEAN FREAK. I’m often PARANOID about picking up COOTIES from JUST ABOUT everywhere–on the train, in restrooms, from public computers, et al.–so I wash my hands often, probably more so than most people. I probably should LIGHTEN UP a bit; I guess I just think it’s BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.
What do you think? Would you call yourself a CLEAN FREAK? Do you know anyone who is?
