Like I said, I didn't brush my teeth at work. When I went to the office, I tried to go in and out of the restroom as fast as possible, touching as few things as possible, and didn't linger to do things like brush my teeth, eat or play chess.

I didn't keep anything at my office, there were no lockers, no drawers, and the desk itself was messed with by the night cleaning crew.

You don't need to brush your teeth after every meal, that's a cultural thing. As long as you brush when you wake up and before you go to bed, that's ok.

I've been in some dirty public bathrooms, but those were typically in the expected places like bars and the like. However, this is starting to sound like you just have a mental thing about public restrooms. Not that I'm a therapist or even play one on TV.

  • Just because I won't brush my teeth thrice a day?

    Wow... calm down, armchair therapist. Just do your thing and let others live their lives.

    Most people do NOT brush their teeth after lunch. It's just a cultural habit. See the comment that sparked this.

    • You said this, "When I went to the office, I tried to go in and out of the restroom as fast as possible, touching as few things as possible"

      which really comes across as you work in a disgusting place, or you might have a bit of an overreaction
