IKR. If there's anything visible on it, I don't eat it, but otherwise... Fair game. I had a biology teacher who spent like two months of classes describing the various germs, virus', bacteria, and worms (tapeworms and the like) that can hurt us, and proceeded to freak the frell out when I ate a candy I dropped on the floor, just to frell with her xD
I have more of a problem with people who complain about like, the slightest pain - and do it seriously. I mean, I'll QQ but usually I'm just complaining for the sake of complaining, or joking or whatever - but some people are like I have a headache, omg, I'm going to die, I need pain killers, I'm going to die, oh my god I sniffled, do you have any cough meds? I feel horrible, omfg... It's like, back in my day I drive a two or three inch nail through my foot? My dad sits me down, yanks it out, and pours alcohol in it. Smack a bandage on it and call it good. Nearly cut off my nose? No big deal, go to the doctor have em clean it up. Third degree burns up my arms? Meh. Fracture my heel? Just keep walking. Hurt my thumb? Run it under cold water and call it good. Never cry or complain about that stuff. None of this yearly doctor visit BS, drugs for every god damn thing, crying because you got a papercut. I had never even been in a hospital (excepting birth, and the nose situation when I was very young, of course) or seen my doctor (again, aside from one appointment when there was suspected chicken pocks involved...) until my bloody fourteenth year.
Germ aversion is silly and annoying, but I think these people who burst into tears at the slightest discomfort are more so.
