It can be caused by germs that get onto your fingers that you have picked up from a number of places, but usually onces that are frequented by a high number of people. If you constantly rub your eye, you can practically force the germs into your eye, and therefore can cause Pink Eye (conjunctivitis).
I just had conjunctivitis and usually I never rub my eyes but the night before the symptoms arrived I had been upset and rubbed my eyes so I believe that either germs or makeup had been rubbed in and caused the irritation.
Hope your eye gets better!
Oh, and I did not get a prescription, I was told to buy "Polysporin" eye drops, which are apparently located behind the pharmacist's counter (not on normal drugstore shelves).

Germs cause it. You could have picked it up at the grocery store, the mall, the convenience store, church, school. Any where.

Bacteria spread by human contact.

it is cause by all sorts of germs

Someone with pinkeye touched something with thier germy hands, then you touched that thing and rubbed your eyes. Probably a doorknob or something.
