    Not sure if I am the only one, but ever since the pandemic, even if I step outside to get the mail up about 500’ away , I just have to wash my hands immediately when I come in. Go to the store? I just feel really gross after. It’s surreal. I guess I’ve become a bit OCD as a result.

      I’ve just always been this way. I will catch myself going to wash my hands going from room to room in my house sometimes, but even I think that’s weird when I realize I’m doing it. I unapologetically wash my hands after handling anything like mail or packages as well. Might be slightly OCD in that regard. On the plus side, I didn’t get COVID until a few months ago for the first time.

        Y’all are correct to wash your hands after touching mail and packages. I’m a mailman, and if I don’t wear gloves, I have to scrub my hands a few times to make them even visibly clean at the end of the day. That, and I’ve totally seen other mailmen leaving the bathroom without washing (mostly older white men).
