Hell, not just Americans. Just about every part of the modern world is germophobic to some extent. Hospitals here in Australia are sanitized aggressively, and now there are so-called superbugs that are immune to antibiotics. My dad knew of a boy whose mum was something of a gunslinger with the soap bottle. If even the tiniest speck got on him - BAM cleaned and scrubbed. Started getting infections from unknown sources, and his mother didn't know what to do. Took him to the doctor, told her story, but the doctor noticed her habits and said basically that it was killing him. Don't know the end result of the story (or even its legitimacy), but it does have some plausibility when you have an idea of how your immune system works.
That being said, living in conditions that would offend a garbage dump would be just as bad if not worse. Maintaining some basic standards of hygiene without going all Hanners over it is enough.

My response to my wife the only time this came up was "You don't rely on my memory for anything else. Why should this be any different? Look before you stick your ass somewhere."

Am I the only one here who closes the toilet lid because A) It looks nicer and B) I'm sick of things falling into it*?
*By this I mean objects, not asses. I've only done that once and had a good laugh about it. :-P

Aww, poor Faye.
This reminds me of a particular night when I didn't have my glasses on either (-9 in both eyes) and needed to pee after taking out my contacts. My glasses were not kept in the bathroom, but I stored my contacts there since I had to wash my hands before removing them anyway, which is also a possibility as to why Faye didn't have hers on (many of my friends do the same). Anyway, my boyfriend had unknowingly made the toilet back up, and the water was just high enough in the bowl that my butt made full contact with it when I sat down. It was mid winter in Ohio, and our bathroom is always frigid, but it took me a few seconds of sleepily thinking "Why is there such a cold draft on my butt?" before I realized what the situation was. Needless to say I less than pleased.
