Do you hate public areas?

I'm not so nit-picky but I understand your concerns about germs. They're pretty unavoidable when I work as a cashier. I'm touching cash (which is totally germy), credit cards (which are likewise - full of germs - the amount depending on how often people use their cards and where they take them..) and of course touching dirty clothes! (I work at a dry cleaners; I am constantly tagging in and bagging people's unclean clothes). Germs are all around me! I try to use hand sanitizer when I can but it's not always available to me, unfortunately!

hi, for you is like a phobia, i am right? I am one who don t like to much public areas too, but not because of germs. Just because i don t have to much time, but of course that i go to shopping, in supermarket, or to office, i can t choice to stay in house all time. But is a problem here, if you will avoid go in public places, soon you will lose your imunity, and when you will go just because you need in a public place you really carry germs from there, because your body can t fight with germs.

java how the heck do you exist if you cannot go out in public areas, and you sound a bit extreme. It is one thing to be concerned about germs. but again we can keep clean and wash our hands and all but still must go out into the real world. Of course people walk on streets and malls , what the heck do you expect them to do, fly? if you are not down there on your hands and knees how on earth could you get germs. you do sound phobic and I would see a mental health clinic about that.I suppose you have no germs on your feet, you walk germ free, this is rather a silly way to be do you not realize? to begin with we all have germs on our bodies,you are covered with them so do not run off yelling eek.How do you open doors into anything, with your elbows?no I dont think public areas are gross, they are just areas.As long as you keep yourself clean and wash your hands why be afraid to go any where? you need some mental help. I would start thinking of more intelligent things, and I sure would seek some help as you are going overboard on this.

Yes, it is very gross when you take the time to think about it. We just don't realize how infected this world is with germs. I don't like it when I go to grab a buggy from the store and there is paper/tissue in the buggy. I will not pick this buggy. I look for an buggy that is empty and clean looking. That is why when I walk into any grocery store, I will take the time to grab an wet sanitizer from the container. I will wipe down the top of the buggy with this. I usually will let my daughters ride in the buggy. I don't want me or my kids catching any germs. It is very disgusting when I go out. I am very funny about using an public bathroom anywhere. I am also funny about sitting on the toilet seats too. I never sit on them. I don't allow my kids to either.

Why should we hate public ? I think as humans we should like to be together..I really enjoy being with others.But today many people disgrace this public things,destroying and polluting things..But I think we should protect public property while we using them..

i agree it has both pros and cons because let's face it there are some really disgusting people out there in the world that act like their parents never taught them anything like how to clean the toilet seat or to wash your hands. So i usually tend to try to avoid public restooms but at the same time it is a necessary evil because.. If you gotta go.. you gotta go and it does give your immune system a boost and you build up a defense to all the bacteria that infests those public areas.

hi, I agree with your public areas are storage places of germs and diseases.I too hate using public toilets. But i dont hestitate in using door knobs and sidewalk as you have to pass these things when ever we have to go out of house.I understand your feelings as i too have the same problem and except toilets i use other things.

Yes these public areas are full of germs and that can infect any one in that area. But I think that these can only infect people with weak immune system. The germs found in such public area are not fatal nor can they have any effect on healthy person. I don't think of these things.

nope, i go and gone. they are public not private so i just let it pass even some scenes annoying have no control over it.

hi...i think you are a extramally carryful for your helth...and it is also a good habit...so ,,but i am for that your reasons to hated the public places...i hate the public areas have many people to communicate so it is easy make me taciturn so hated pubilic places.... ....

Well, the only place I really do not going in public is the restroom. Some of those places can be disturbingly nasty. So I avoid it whenever possible. I never really like using the restroom outside of my house. You don't really know what kind of parasites could be lurking. Other places can be disturbing as well but really, just some things cannot be helped.

Your what WE call "OBSESSIVE AGORAPHOBIC" in your daily life I see. MY ONLY PROBLEM with PUBLIC AREAS is: that "THEY'RE DEPENDENT ON PEOPLE KEEPING THEM CLEAN & SANITARY lets face it, SOME OF US ARE LAZY AS CHIT!!LOL But we ALL carry (THIS INCLUDES YOU Java09) germs /bacterias ON /IN OURSELVES that have the potential make OTHERS ILL. So after YOU read this, U need to go take a SHOWER an try to SCRUB THEM OFF...just kidding?! Take a deep breath and THANK GOD U DON'T LIVE ON THE STREET!!!

i do not hate those things or those areas. but i am aware that is the dirtiest place that we could be or we could hold on...so if i can i avoid using such facilities like public toilets, holding public stairs or door knobs i really do so (especially i do not have an alcogel in my bag) in that way i minimized myself accumulating so much germs that may result to sickness...anyway in minimal germs we still have our immune system to fight for them...so that is my only concern to avoid getting sick.

i just hate when people are too crowded that you can't breathe at all or you can smell other peoples' like in market...

Hi Java, For ma, i don't hate public area, it's the people's behaviors in the public area makes me sick. They throw the garbage everwhere, and they don't care!!. But i love to go to the park where have trees, lakes,kids, and many good people who cares about the good environment. Thanks for reading and responding my discussions! Have a nice day!

I don't hate public places but I hate people smoking in public places.One should maintain minimum decency in public.I love to travel in buses ,trains.

there is not choice to touch the item when you want to use public utilities. for example, i have to hold the handle when standing in the bus or turn the door knob if i want to enter the room. human won't get sick easily

Java09... That's not a real problem for me. Because I have do that to continue my daily life. So, if I stop to make contact with public area, that's mean I should have my own tools to do my daily activity. The important thing for me is keep my self clean. What is mean? If you mean you scare about germs in your hand, I would wash my hand before I want to use my hand to touch my body or if I want to eat. Yeah... if we could keep ourself clean, the possibility to get sick is little. That's what I did 'till now. :)
