For me, it would be magazines in public place.
I REALLY, REALLY want to treat myself to flipping through Oprah's latest, but thinking of all of the hands, and spit-fingered page turners makes me not indulge.
Also, band aids that (I guess) have fallen off, and you see just randomly lying around.

Shoes worn in the house - it's culturally ingrained to gross me tf out.

OMG. Women who don’t wash their hands after using the restroom in a public place. I don’t care if you flush with your foot, for Pete’s sake wash your damn hands!

Smokers cough. I work with several smokers and they are always hacking, makes me gag. They do not seem to be smart enough to figure out the correlation.

If there is a used bandaid or a clump of hair anywhere on a pool deck or in a pool, I will stumble upon it. Never fails. 🤢

Double dipping grosses me out. We recently went to dinner with some friends and we ordered my favorite dip as an appetizer. The husband of my friend double dipped. I couldn't eat another bite after that.

And when we are at a public pool, it bothers me when people walk into the restroom barefoot! I'm weird I guess!

Dirty socks that don't belong to me. For some reason, they totally gross me out.
I do, however, wear shoes in the house. I hate having them on but have to both for back issues and foot issues.

The bathroom thing of course but touching shoes is what popped in my head first. I have to wash my hands when I put them on, put them away, fix laces that came undone, etc.
Next, would be handrails. I don't really hold on to handrails but I'll use them as a guide or balance - run the back of my hand along the rail, not the palm.

You know that thing that people with sinus issues seem to do where they inhale through their nose with their throats open and then essentially swallow what they just sucked back from their nose?
So so SOOO gross. that sound make me want to crawl out of my skin. "I'm literally listening to you swallow your snot!!"
Not necessarily a germ thing but still...

Not to mention how gross the handles are on the door. I prefer to use a hand sanitizer after I have exited the restroom. In fact, if at all possible, I will hold it until I can return to my home bathroom. Public restrooms ick me out. Did anyone have a mother who made you hover over the toilet in a public restroom and not allow your butt to touch the seat?

Being offered a bite of someone else’s food that they have already bitten into or a drink from the same cup/can/bottle. No thank you.

Women who don’t wash their hands after using the restroom in a public place. I have a friend that says she uses hand sanitizer AFTER she leaves the restroom. That's not ok IMO. You quite possibly contaminated the door handles. I am grossed out by the animals at work that leave water or coffee spills on the counter, never clean their messes out of the microwave and rarely toss out their moldy food from the refrigerator.

Cats on the kitchen countertop. If I know your cat has free reign in the kitchen with its kitty-litter paws touching food prep surfaces, I will politely decline to eat what you bring to the office.
When we had a couple of cats, they were trained early to stay off the counters (hello spray bottle LOL), but I still didn’t trust them alone in the house. They got locked in the basement with the litter box when we weren’t home.
And even though I never saw them on the counters, I still Clorox-wiped the heck out of them before I started cooking!

Most of the time the faucets are automatic, the soap dispenser is touched *before* I wash and paper towels are usually pull out too. If I must use a hand dryer with a button I use the back of my hand or elbow to turn it on. Door is opened with paper towels or with the smallest amount of skin contact as possible if it's a pull door. So, yeah, I'll judge you for making excusing for not washing your hands. As for hovering, no idea what my mom taught me but I only hover in the nastiest of gas station bathrooms, my butt hasn't complained yet. I'm not perfect though.....I foot flush

Seeing chefs, kitchen staff, wait staff outside of a restaurant smoking. Then having them come in smelling like smoke. GROSS. (not to mention potential non-handwashing)
Seeing kids chewing/teething on toys, shopping carts, or even products in the store and parents putting them back on the shelves.
As I have gotten older, I do not touch door knobs. I just cannot.
And, I am starting to get more grossed out in public bathrooms, so I avoid them like the plague and carry LOTS of hand sanitizer and wipes.

For some reason I really hate to see young kids playing or crawling on the floor of some public place, like a store. That floor is so filthy, ugh!

I see your magazines in a public place and raise you pens in a public place. Nope. Not happening if I can help it.
