Of course I don't do that, and I try to do the wipe thing quickly and discreetly. Even then, I sometimes have people give me weird looks. I really hate that. Do I seem that strange and OCD to be wiping down things that are known to be filled with germs? I wish more people did the wipe-down so I don't stand out, but apparently most Americans don't think about these things.
Not American, but I do think about those things.......I just don't worry about those things. That's what a healthy immune system is supposed to handle, so the things I worry about are related to keeping my body working normally (like not getting dehydrated, getting enough sleep, eating well, etc). Those microbes on those few surfaces are a drop in the ocean compared to all the microbes you're exposed to all day every day (any day), so that's why I don't worry about it. I wouldn't say you seem strange for wiping down those things, but I do think you seem like you don't understand the situation very well if you think that will help.
