Mr. Monk Is On The Air - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Monk and Natalie are getting out of their car at Max Hudson's house, there is a woman on the sidewalk walking past the house. As soon as Monk asks, "What station is he on?" the camera angle changes to a view from Max's porch, and said woman suddenly disappears, when she should be seen walking across the driveway. (00:07:55)

Adrian Monk: I don't know how he did it. But he did it.

Question: If Monk is afraid of germs, then why does he keep touching things that could possibly have germs on them like parking meters or books?

Answer: Notice also that in the opening credits scene when he is touching parking meters her also wipes his hand on his clothes each time he does it.

Answer: That's the thing about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It's not something rational. He just has to touch things like that. It's not something he can rationally think through. However, since part of his disorder includes an obsession with cleanliness, he also has an assistant walk around handing him wipes periodically. It's like when he gets a cold and uses both a humidifier (because that's what you use when you're congested) and a dehumidifier (to counteract the effects of the humidifier). He may spout rationalizations after he does something, but his compulsions exist outside of any rational thought whatever.
