I do it when I’m in a situation where stabilization is useful. Nearly always when I’ve been drinking but also occasionally during a morning trip when maybe I’m not entirely awake yet. I actually fell over once I was in such a daze after jumping out of bed.
I’ve been known lean my shoulder against the wall with a sort of James Dean insouciance, but it depends on who’s watching.

I do this sometimes for no particular reason. You should ease up on the germophobia. Germs are good for your health. They make sure your immune system is tested and fit for fight. There’s a hotel in Germany that specialises in having extremely dirty rooms. People go there to boost their immune system.
