Now, every time i order for an iced tea at Bennigan's i would always think of how much germs there is on the lemon wedges they serve. :-(

Normally one finger tip is used on the elevator button and due to that the number of germs will be much less on it compared to other items in the list. That is why it is not appearing in the top list.

Grocery store shopping carts, according to a recent US study, have the equivalent number, type, and diversity of bacteria, viruses, etc., as public toilets.

why is it that a guy comes down on an elevator everyday to work and goes home uses the elevator, stops halfway and uses the stairs to his room which is on the top level of the building? And when it rains he uses the elevator all the way to his floor... :-D

I still agree on the elevator button as one of the germiest place :D

It all dependes on the floor as to which appendage or part of the body I use :O)

Where is the Elevator's button in the list? As per the link pasted below, it should have been there on top.
