Good and Bad News
Okay so if you didn't know already i'm kinda ocd (obsessive-compulsive disorder). I'm not proud of it, but it explains a lot of the silly things i do. One being my lack of water consumption. Now see if you can get the logic in this.
I don't drink water or fluids much because I HATE, repeat I HATE going to public bathrooms (heck, sometimes I don't even want to go to my own!). Since college, I've found that WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too many people for my liking don't wash their hands! This is kinda gross, but no matter if it's number one, two, or the monthly friendly visit, they just don't do it. Even here, one would expect the PLEASE-YOU-DIRTY-FOREIGNER-TAKE-YOUR-SHOES-OFF-WHEN-YOU-ENTER-MY-HOUSE Japanese to be different, but surprise!, they aren't. At school, once in a while when they know I'm in there they'll do a perfunctory flicking of the hands under cold water, but PLEASE what does that do! What does momentarily flicking your hands under COLD water do? Maybe, if it was hot water I could cut them some slack... Thus, the inevitable tissues I use to turn on facets and open restroom doors.
The interesting part is that I had no idea that this phobia of public restrooms was actually causing me harm. I literally stopped drinking water on a daily basis because unconsciously I knew I would have to use the bathroom if I did. If it wasn't for a friend that pointed out the connection between the two, I would have never noticed.
So, the good news is that I drank tons of water this weekend and today. To the point where my pee is the color of water. ;) Good, eh?
The bad news is I've had to go to the bathroom like 20 TIMES today! eeeeewwwwwwwww!
Side note: I can now walk around my apartment without fear of frost bite. :) yippee!!!
