Odd (to me) opinion I saw on TikTok

I would never think about rinsing an already clean glass before I handed it to someone.

If it's in my cupboard or a clean dishwasher, it's clean.

Some people are just nuttier than a fruitcake... that is what I have concluded.

Living on a farm with livestock, your opinion of clean changes. The one thing both my husband and I were adamant about for our kids, was that they wash their hands well when they come in the house.

Washing a clean glass? That's obsessive.

That is not even based in reality.
Other people's food I completely understand, if you haven't seen them cook it then you have no idea what their food hygiene is like...do they cross contaminate food?, is defrosting chicken juice dripping onto salad in the fridge? did they use leftover rice from last week?, did they leave things on low heat on the stove for 3 hours? food poisoning is real and can make you really sick and is sometimes fatal.

But no-one gets sick from a smudge on a glass, a few specks of dust or even a dead moth.

I remember when I was in my 20s and I poured my current boyfriend a glass of wine (in the special, not very often used wine glasses) and then I saw him looking into the glass...I asked him what was wrong and he said "nothing's wrong...I'm just watching that moth with the little scuba tank on"

Weird in my book. And I store most of my glasses upside down so no real chance of smuck getting in the glass. Not that I even worry about that. My mom always put her glasses upside down and I just followed her way.

That's why we are alive today!! Eating all that food that baked in the sun for hours!  Our immunity systems are great now.. lol 

My niece has a weird thing that she does regarding glasses from cupboards.  She has to blow in it before using it.  Every single time.  I first noticed it when she moved in with me for a short time.  Then several weeks later, I saw my younger sister, her mother, do the exact same thing.  Guess I learned where my niece picked it up.

I asked my sister why she did it.  She said it just felt better to blow out any dust in a cup or glass.  I asked her if she had done that to MY coffee cup before filling it that morning.  She said she probably did since it was a habit that she just did without thinking.  I am more grossed out by her blowing in my cup because you can be sure that there were minute particles of spit that went into my cup.  I told her from that point on, I would get my own coffee at her home, thank you very much.  She thought it was weird that I thought it was weird.  You want to blow in your own?  Have at it.  But not into mine, please.  And this is the sister that was always complaining that when one person was sick in her house, everyone got sick, every time, no matter how much they tried to stay away from each other.

I would also find it weird if someone handed me a wet glass.

It's unusual to say the least and I don't want to be handed a wet glass.

This is the category I would consider myself. Life happens and my house is typically decently clean, but no one would be using me as a role model for a clean house. Life happens and cleaning the house falls into a lesser priority than experiencing what is happening/not making myself miserable trying to attain a perfectly clean house.

That is odd. Why would someone need to rinse a clean glass?

I could understand it if there was open shelving involved. Open shelving doesn’t seem super clean to me.

I bet she doesn’t really believe that and is just saying it to get engagement and clicks on her TikTok.

I’ve read that you aren’t supposed to store glasses upside down. That they’ll pick up more schmutz and germs from the shelf surface than from being exposed to the air.

I store glasses right side up in a closed cabinet (because that’s what I have) and I wouldn’t dream of rinsing them when they come out of the cabinet. Or blowing in them. =shudder=

Not a germaphobe, but not a total slob, either.

I’m married to a rinser. I have to ask him not to rinse my g
mug if he pours me coffee.
