What About Bob? What About ME...

Amongst the many things that have lately been spiraling out of control for me, such as my funk in blogging from being overwhelmed by all that's been going on and in my mind, my classic obsessive-compulsive germaphobia has started to reach very possibly ludicrous new heights........

I knew in the back of my mind I was up shit's creek without a paddle, or perhaps a blow torch (Even though I convince myself I'm just being smart & not insane in these situations), when just a few months ago I got stuck, trapped if you will............in a bathroom.

See, the trouble is the average person sees this.......

Grab it & go, right? Go handle your burrito, or your Johnson & then your burrito. Maybe some dingleberries & chips, no worries.

I see something kind of like this......

Exactly like this, actually. The doorknob has sharp teeth, dripping with germ goo & out to kill me fuckin' dead! And it's threatening me - "I gotcha, bitch!"



Shit. Balls.

I was CORNERED, paralyzed & terrorized by a DOORKNOB.
No paper towels to grab it with, so I'm standing there observing it from afar like a Rubik's cube or gigantic Geometry problem, but slobbering with fangs, and dripping with a flesh eating fungus.

W.T.F!!


I think most people would remember Bob Wiley...

Bill Murray looks so much like my inner child when my parents told me I wasn't circus material in this picture. Though he needs a banjo & a hobo stick.

He has a panic attack getting onto an elevator, and eventually annoys his shrink so much, he takes him out to the woods & straps a bunch of dynamite to his crazy ass. I know, who hasn't seen that scenario played out? That's why I'm trying to address this now.

The hand washing (now complete with laundry obsessive-compulsion too), the hand sanitizer, the looks in public - "Is she hosing down with lube?"
(Lube shower's on Saturdays, sister. Get with the program. It's like the naked bobsled run....minus the bobsled)

The scare tactics. They scare even me - "Think about this............ Some dude with his hand in his butt crack, or H1N1, coughed & breathed all into his hand, put his hands all over that menu & now you are too, and are gonna eat a burrito!?!!",*Smiles & looks like a walking ad for Purell*

This stuff is as good as holy water, people. It'll cleanse you, rid you of demons, and burn the shit out of a vampire's face! Goes great with cheap, stale bread.

No, wait, that's the wine. I mean, the blood. You know it's really blood right? Maybe I should save that story of magic, tragedy, and leprechauns for another post.

On a side note, I'm actually pretty sure you could kill a leprechaun with Purell.

And luckily, I know better than to put a flame too close to my hands from the time I came so close to lighting them on fire & smoking them. Acid was a wild ride, man.

If anyone ever sees or receives an award for falling off topic, I want ya'll to remember me.

Let's jump back on the crazy horse.

Germaphobia - "Smart thinking", or "Somebody call the doctor".

Maybe time will tell, and I'll be all like "I told you so", in my Hazmat suit, standing in the corner eating an apple all annoying like.

(Don't ask how I'd get the apple under the face shield. This is my vision. Don't ask me those f-ed up questions.)

  2. Holy Shit Balls and shiny man junk, LilPixi! You do have a marvelously humorous way with words. This post is one of your best yet. It had me laughing like a cross-eyed retard with Turrets Syndrome, the whole freakin' time.

    You're right. People are filthy little animals. They fiddle with their fleshy burritos and bearded clams, not bothering to wash their bacteria covered hands and go out and infect everyone else in public with their (sometimes literally... crap).

    I know how people are. I worked in the public arena for a long time, touching the same handles, money and so forth that their grimy meat hooks would latch onto and I'd get sick, as a result, about 3 or 4 times a year- even with washing my hands like an obsessed loon. Since I've been on disability for about a year now, I haven't been sick even once. The reason, of course, is because I'm not in close proximity of the general public as much.

    I say we should get t-shirts made to say WASH YOUR FILTHY HANDS, FUGLY FUCKERS! Suitable apparel for four star restaurants, ya know. Take care, LilPixi. I look forward to your take on the survey. :)

  3. JDUB - I'm definitely psyched I found you & your blog. You have no idea. I love what it's all about.

    Kelly - See, it's proof of what's being spread around out there.

    I'm sure eventually sickness is inevitable (because many bad bacteria are airborne), but so far it seems I haven't contracted any viruses since I started becoming super anally hand conscious. It's a lil beyond anal, but anytime I did get sick in the past, I'd up taking crazier sanitary measures.

    Then I heard on a tech show last week that since 1980 the human lifespan has increased 7-10 years due to hand washing & better sanitary precautions.

    But again, no way clean hands can always save us. We can literally breathe in some of these viruses.

    On top of that, I think I should maybe stop watching Discovery Network TV as well. lol

    I'm looking forward to it too. =)

  4. I started getting weird about door knobs also. Now I have to use the bottom of my shirt to open. When I don't I get grossed out so I know the feeling AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TAKING A SIP FROM MY STRAW. I've had many foul things in my mouth (believe me) BUT I can't allow for the straw sharing thing to happen. I picture germs sliding up the straw like a a vicious army. What can I do?

  5. I definitely will never share drinks, and I think some people have gotten really offended by that, but really, no thought disturbs me more & I've always been that way.

    Geez, I'm lucky I'm not anti-kissing, lol, but I am anti-funkmouth.

    I picture the same thing. lol. Better safe than sorry really applies to the whole germ thing.

  6. Jesus, do you know how much I love "What About Bob?"? hahahaha...
    "God damn, son of bitchin' Bob!!"
    hehehehe...I could quote that movie all day, and probably will if given enough wine and sangria...

    It is funny that, as I have gotten older, i have become more OCD about germs...I mean, to the point of, if I see a guy washing his hands in the bathroom, I think to myself, oh great, he's probably been jerking off in the stall...I'm not touching that faucet without at least a dozen paper towels...hahaha

  7. My apologies if I'm a lil slow sometimes responding. Sometimes I don't see the comments right away & I have terrible ADD. lol

    It is such a great movie, isn't it? A laugh & a smile through every moment of that one, it's a classic.

    Ah, so, you know where I'm at. ;~} I too am skeeved out by even touching the faucets.

    This is another reason I'm like a walking ad for hand sanitizer.
