  Before showing my results of the OCD quiz (obsessive-compulsive disorder) from Patrick and Carmella's blog, let me say this... I admit I'm kinda OCD, despite my low score. Not so much a typical OCD who's a clean-freak or neat-freak, I'm more of a "Sanitation-Freak" and "Germaphobe"... I'm afraid of germs and get grossed out by the idea of touching anything that could be contaminated with germs and dirtiness in public places.
  
  Examples of what I do (or don't do):
  -One of the first things I do when I get home is wash my hands
  -I press elevator buttons using my knuckles
  -I don't touch public bathroom toilets
  -I push open public bathroom doors with my elbows or feet
  -I flush the toilets in public bathrooms with my foot if it's a handle
  -I never touch public garbage lids with my bare hands (usually will use a napkin to open it) and will cringe at the sight of other people touching it with their hands
  -I never wear shoes in the house to avoid trekking in dirt and sh*t from the streets (luckily this is a tradition in the Asian culture), but I cringe if guests walk around our house with shoes on. That's when I ask them to take their shoes off. =P
  -I avoid touching poles on subway trains or buses unless absolutely necessary. If it's a turbulent ride, I'll reluctantly hold the pole with one hand, the whole time shuddering and cringing at the thought of nasty germs contaminating my hand....
  
  I also hate the sticky or greasy feeling on my fingers! So if I have to eat with my hands like when eating fried chicken, french fries, and buffalo wings... or peeling oranges, I get really fidgety and the "ick" feeling stays in my mind until I can run to the nearest bathroom to wash my hands clean.
  
  Am I weird?! Haha! Aside from this, I can be kinda messy. Just ask my husband, Mr. OCD Neat & Clean Freak himself! If he took this test, I bet he'd score very close to 100%!
