One of Greg's biggest pet peeves is one of my habit.  If my food lands on the floor or the ground it goes in the trash.  I do not believe in the 5 second rule.  I don't care how clean your floor looks.  If my food lands on your floor I'm going to throw it away.
I gag a little on the inside when I see people eat food off the floor.  I do it even more if that person has a pet.  I have pets and know exactly how dirty their cute little paws are.  My cat has a litter box and the dog will walk through shit.  Your floor is dirty and disgusting the instant they touch it.
I honestly don't plan to change.  I just try to be sneaky about it now.  Since he has such an issue with me throwing away food I drop sometimes food I drop gets transferred from my plate to his.  I'll probably get flack for it, but I wouldn't do it if he didn't make such a big deal about it every time I do it.
Either way.  What's your stance on the 5 second rule?  Do you follow it or is it an on the floor, in the trash policy for you as well?
Oh and because I love Mythbusters.  Have fun watching this little educational video.
I can't seem to upload this because it's not on youtube, but it'd definitely worth watching.
 
Food that lands on the floor gets tossed out. ICK.
