It’s good for friends to know of minor issues you have but for them to explain to new people the reason why their hand is not being shook is a little embarrassing…to say the least.
*After chatting for a while*
N: What’s your name?
ND2 student: *insert name1*.
N: I’m *insert friend’s name).
*They shake hands, the guy turns to me.*
N: This is Annie.
Me: (Noisy background) I just eaten with my right so you’ll have to shake the left.
N: She doesn’t touch anything without washing her hands.
I pretty much hid my face at that point. Honestly, there was no mental questioning of the guy’s hygiene. It’s just, after eating I have to wash my hands before I touch anything. Feeling cleaning is top priority in my books. 
Anyone else had a similar situation? Feel free to share with me your stories.

If you knew how often I washed my hands (not very often, to be honest) you probably wouldn’t touch me with a ten-foot-pole.
It’s a good thing I only know you on the internet!

@Kaylee: Gosh, this post makes me sound like a hygiene lunatic. I’m really not that bad, honest. o:)
