I wonder if Howie Mandel has this problem?
The
reason I bring up the star of “Howie Do It” and “Bobby’s World” is because the famed
germaphobe knows his way around the fist bump, and this simple act of tapping
your knuckles against those of another man – or sometimes woman – has been
causing me a lot of headaches recently.
I’ve got a light dusting of OCD, so
washing my hands is a pretty important thing for me. I do it a lot. Not to the
point that it holds me back from living my life such as it is, but I still
think I wash my hands more often and more thoroughly than the average man.
Anyway, one thing I don’t do
thoroughly is dry my hands. I prefer a good air dry. I’ll use paper towels if
they’re available, but I tend to get carried away. Before I know it I’ve gone
through a couple dozen of them, and somehow my hands are still not 100% dry. Like
the Great Pyramids of Egypt, I can’t explain this, it just is.
