I thought I washed my hands rather a lot but I have to answer no to all of those. I always wash my hands before I eat anything, when I've done anything mucky, like messing about in the garage and obviously when I've been to the toilet. I have to admit to being more comfortable in winter when I can go out wearing gloves.

You sound like you're closer to being OCD than most people here. I was on the till in two charity shops a few years ago when I was volunteering. Sometimes it was fun, other times I wanted to hide in the back room.
