Me too

I also wash my hands before & after putting the groceries away.

I have a habit of rinsing jars, cans anything before putting away even stuff to go in the freezer. And eggs before I use them I’m hopeless.

I do too and also when I’ve opened my parcel deliveries.

Some people still wear face masks in shopping centres. Nothing wrong with that if they want to. Except, they never seem to use hand sanitizer after shopping or using the self checkouts etc.
I always carry a hand sanitizer in my bag and in my car boot before I go home.

I wash eggs before use.

I also wash my hands before & after putting the groceries away.

I sanitize my hands before I start shopping and after I've packed my goods.
I carried sanitizer in my bag even before the pandemic. Always moisturise my hands as well to minimise effects of santizer.

Don't forget the correlation between antiseptic use and decreased immunity where micro organisms develop a resistance or tolerance to antibacterial agents.

A prime example of this is the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus (Golden staph) bacteria in a hospital setting, the exact place you would least expect a bacterial infection due to stringent hygiene practices.

Hand sanitizer is alcohol based. Not antiseptic. I guess it depends what type you buy.

Not always.

Hand sanitisers can also contain the following:-

Benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride, cetrimide, chlorhexidine, hexachlorophene, phenol, o-phenylphenol, propamine isethionate, dibromopropamidine isethionate and triclosan. The bolded being alcohols themselves.

Many of these antibacterials are "heavy duty" used in a hospital setting and are in dermal and hair washing products.

“…and 13 per cent of men and 11 per cent of women skip the soap after defecating.” Eewww.

Washing means using soap and water. Only using water is merely rinsing, it is not washing.

Nope you are not hopeless we all do things that some people think is a bit on the weird side.

 

[mOiOz]

Nobody mentioned how filthy money is... I won't touch anything else before I wash my hands. That's the only thing I used sanitizer for when I was out shopping.
When I see tradies and visitors come out from the toilet in my home, I automatically say, "There's a tap in the bathroom and laundry available!" situated on either side of the toilet!

The shells of eggs are porous. You need to ensure you thoroughly remove hand wash of any type before handling eggs at all

 

[PepeLePew]

I don't leave home without a mask, use the wipes supplied in supermarkets to wipe down a trolley before use, always carry my own reusable bag and pack my groceries myself, use sanitizer on my hands before leaving the supermarket, use my elbow to press buttons on trains & traffic lights, open doors using the bottom of my shirt or a paper towel if available. The thing though that grosses me out the most is seeing women of all different ages and nationalities NOT wash their hands after using public toilets. I will use toilet paper to lift up/put down the lid and press the flush button. My children all think I am paranoid but so far I am the only person I know who has not had Covid.

 

[Jash]

I have watched women walking out of public toilets without washing their hands. Absolutely disgusting & gross.

Yes, that's true. I tend to look for the 70% denat alcohol ones.

I was told many years ago that hospital Doctors walk around with staph in their noses (which is painful). Probably due to what you are saying.
