Isn’t this romantic? You’re
dating a guy, and he invites you over to his apartment for a home-cooked meal,
complete with candlelight, and plans to watch the latest romantic comedy out on
DVD. You’re a lucky girl. And this guy sounds like a winner.
But wait. Make sure you stock up
on hand sanitizer and anti-bacterial wipes before you head on over to his
place. Why? Because a new study has found that bachelors have a higher number
of bacteria on certain surfaces in their apartments than bachelorettes do.
Topping the list of highly
contaminated places? The coffee table. Seventy percent of the coffee tables
tested in bachelor-occupied apartments had the type of bacteria on them found
in animal feces. Guess they didn’t listen when their mothers told them not to
put their shoes on the furniture.
And how about that remote control
he’s going to use to queue up the movie? It's found to be the surface with the
highest number of total bacteria. Just don’t let him make the old arm over the
shoulder move on you. You wouldn’t want his hand to touch you.
Here are a few other places you
should be wary of when you're in a bachelor’s abode:
His bedside table was also found
to have a high concentration of fecal bacteria on it. Hope he stores his
condoms elsewhere.
The toilet seat can be a breeding
ground for all sorts of bacteria, especially if your boyfriend shares his
apartment with other males, who aren't neat and lift the seat.
Doorknobs -- both coming into and
going out of -- the bathroom and the apartment. These would be good places to
pull out those wipes.
Underneath the bed can be like a
black hole: remnants of girlfriends past, dust bunnies, and maybe even a few
potato chips that got away.
Kitchen sponges have been accused
of being the number one source of germs in any home because of the moisture and
the crevices that enable bacteria to grow. Wonder when the last time that guy
of yours replaced his.
His mouth is pretty dirty, too.
But so is yours. Try not to think about it while you smooch away. Most of your
shared bacteria is harmless, unless of course he's suffering from the flu or
another communicable disease.
What in a bachelor pad has
grossed you out before?
