Anyone hate getting food on their hands?

Post Reply New Topic

This is the reason that I have lunch at my clubhouse, whenever I can. Their food has to be eaten with a knife and fork.

I assure you, no sarcasm intended either.

Oh, definitely! but I absolutely MUST clean my hands afterwards........

YES!

My mom noticed when I was about 3 that I had a thing about not getting dirty. I would play in the dirt with other little kids and barely touch it with my hands. and then go to her with my hands held out to clean and complain about something being on my hands.

I also do not like touching something metal that is wet, I do not like fingerpainting.

I will eat sandwhiches but I hate BBQ, Pizza is ok but i dont like messy pizza's.

Yes! if I ever eat something with my hand as soon as it gets greasy I go to the sink and wash it.

I don't mind eating food with my hands, but I don't like the dirty or greasy feeling afterwards. So as soon as I get up from the table, I go to the sink and wash my hands with soap and water. Some people think it's a little strange, but I usually say it's an old habit that just won't go away. Most of the time, whoever ask me seems satisfied with this answer.

Usually i'm not too bad about getting dirty or having food on my hands, usually i lick it off, the food that is. What i'm really bad for is grease, i just can't tolerate it, i refuse to handle anything that is greasy.

Only specific things: butter and cream getting on my skin just makes me freak!! ! And if I get any in my mouth, even the tiniest bit, I not only gag, I actually get the stomach heave as well. That also happens with blobby fat from meat. Ugh, just typing that made me shudder.

I don't mind finger food like Fish Sticks or Chicken Fingers but I get REALLY nervous when I have to crack an egg. I hate being messy!

Buffalo Wings (I hate for that very reason)

I cannot stand getting sauce, such as from ribs or wings, on my hands. I do it anyway with wings but i go through many napkins in the process to try to keep my hands clean and have to use a wet wipe when i'm done.

A few other things i can't stand to be on my hands:
fingerpaint
chalk (huge shudder)
and dirt (on my hands or my feet), i will IMMEDIATELY wash it off with water. This is ironic though bc i am a horticulture major, so dirt is going to be a major part of my life... oh well, i'll have to use gloves.

THANK YOU!! !! ! Until VERY recently, I NEVER used such language publicly. I used it about 4 times in my life, 3 times last year! I decided it would be my next step towards "normality" as it is one of 2 VERY obvious differences I have left. There are other differences, they just aren't so obvious.

Anyway, I decided to stop that. Had I continued, I would almost certainly have been accused of sarcasm here as well!

BTW guys! He didn't mean it sarcasticly. It is clearly the truth.

As a kid and in my early teens, I never used "swear words" like most of my friends did. I started using them when I was about 14 in an attempt to fit in better; it felt so weird and unnatural to me! And in fact I remember someone saying to me, "It doesn't sound right when you say it. You say it too nicely, you're too proper!"
Now I probably use them too much... it's one of my little "quirks" that I think it ridiculous now that there are certain words people think "obscene" or unacceptable... I mean, they're just words, made up of letters of the alphabet. Good old Anglo-Saxon words, used by Shakespeare and Chaucer, for crying out loud! Why are the clinical/medical/Latin terms for certain things acceptable while the old earthy English ones are not?? Yet another example of our society's biophobic desire to transcend the body and it's embarrassing, messy functions.
Two of my favorite words are "obscenities", in fact...

i don't like anything on my hands....food, water, lotion.
i also don't like getting food on my food (ie. food touching)

or gloves/mittens. Don't like them either. I need to feel things

I've got two problems with eating food with my hands. First I'm paranoid about dirt and have to have washed my hands often several times before I eat. Second is I can't stand grease. One of my pet hates is grease marks on papers or books, and so whilst I can eat with my hands, again I'll have to wash them immediately after eating.

My kids must hate me, because I project my concerns onto their habits. Drives me nuts to see them eat something like ribs and then go straight off to do their homework with (as I see it) fat dripping off their fingers.

I hate anything on my hands.
