I was gonna say the same but if thats the way he wants to live its cool i wasnt gonna say anything. Im OCD about keeping my room and house clean, car clean, PC clean, me clean, ect. Thats prolly his thinig or grew up that way. Hard to change habbit.
Sorry to hear about your dog. Had a lovely doberman the other week that would have made a great pet but had to give him to the dog warden.
As for the glove thing, I normally work for a company called Zorba Delicacies when im not in college, this means handing the entire countrys choices of dips for superstores, ASDA, Tescos, Morrisons and Iceland. We make every dip imagineable. Cheese and Chive, Garlic onion and herb, Tzatiki, Seafood etc, so I'm washing my hands about 100 times a day, changing my gloves about 400 times and touching un cooked dairy products. As a result, I like wearing gloves when i touch something not human and i clean my hands ALOT!!!
