        okay but my hands go near my butthole when I wipe. the sides of my pants aren’t anywhere neat that? I’m confused why a germaphobe would care

          Hands go near butthole. Hands now unclean. Unwashed hands grab sides of pants. Pants now unclean. Wash hands. Pants still unclean.

          The part you’re missing is the irrational part: the instant and binary transfer of unclean-ness on contact.
