Dirty Silverware

I have a thing when it comes to food, any surfaces used to prepare food, and any dishes or utensils used to serve or eat food. Call me obsessive compulsive, but anything that will come in contact with food or drink has to be clean. I cannot abide dirty dishes or utensils. If it's going to go in my mouth, I want to inspect it. That may be a bit silly, considering how filthy mouths are, mine in particular. But still, I've had one too many incidents in the past of finding something gross on food I've been eating, or the dish/utensil I've been using to eat/drink with. I'm very thorough when doing dishes (no dishwasher). I automatically inspect dishes and silverware when pulling them out to use, even in my own home when I've been the one to wash them. I do the same in restaurants, and when eating at someone else's home (though I'm more surreptitious about it). It's an automatic habit. If something doesn't pass my inspection, I don't use it. Maybe it's a good thing food preparation areas tend to be hidden from view in restaurants. I might never eat out again if I saw too much. :P
