Do you wash your hands after using the Bathroom?

don't read this whole post:
What I do is a come in, pull the lever of the towel thing a few times, and then wash my hands, go do my thang, and then come back, take the towel thingy, use the paper towel i got to turn the faucet on, off, and leave. I leave completely clean & it's pretty cool :cool:

Seeing the people that walk around that are hella dirty kinda makes me paranoid. I don't like feeling dirty, and especially hate when my hands are sticky from sweat or a stupid soda (which I shouldn't drink anyway).

I like clean. :)
 
How can you recognize a chemist?

They wash there hands before using the restroom!

Really, all of you non-soap users are lazy. If you bother to rinse, why not throw a little soap on your hands too? Stop doing a half-assed job.
 
I'm a frequent hand-washer, but there are exceptions. Some bathrooms are so gross that I refuse to touch anything with my hands. It's sort of like playing soccer. I lift the seat with my feet, use my elbows to open and close doors, etc.

I also keep a mental list of "unclean" coworkers that don't wash their hands. When possible, I avoid direct contact with them or try to replace handshakes with ceremonial bows, etc.

In other germ news, I read somewhere recently that the average cutting board has more (and more dangerous) bacteria than the average toilet seat.

Nah, just means that when you shake hands with them after they use the restroom, and they feel wet ... it ain't soap and water.

:eek: if you get ... stuff on your hand (that isn't soap and/or water) from using the restroom they need restroom lessons. ;)

if I touch anything within 10 square feet of a toilet, I have to wash them.

Yeah, especially in the men's bathroom. Who knows what has been soaked, and where? Maybe someone went trigger happy and painted the walls.

However, sometimes I don't wash or rinse my hands if I think the sink looks horribly disgusting, and that I run the risk of making my hands even dirtier by washing them in that sink. :eek:

Oh, and to open the door, I grab the very top of the handle because I'm under the delusion that less people grab the top end and reach for the bottom. I also use only one finger....
 
i try to avoid public restrooms altogether but if i am in a pinch i ALWAYS wash my hands with soap and try to touch absolutely nothing.. i like that the faucets in many don't even need you to turn the knob/handle anymore :). At home i usually wash too but i rinse sometimes if i'm rushing.
 
Men, think about what happens when you take a leak. You grab your schlong, which has been safely and cleanly tucked away in your pants all day, and let her rip. To grab it you use your hand which has recently touched 1000 dirty doorknobs, gas nozzles, boogers, floors, and various other germ infested surfaces. You then zipper up and wash the germs off of your hands, but let them crawl around on your manhood until tomorrow morning's shower. What is so dirty about a wiener?

I propose that you either:

A. Wash your hands before going
OR
B. Washing your wang after going

OR
C. Both, if you feel so inclined.

So basically what you're saying is: Why are you so afraid of the bathroom doorknob, but don't give any concern over your own knob?

Exactly. Think about it. you step out of the shower totally clean and immediately cover your unit with two layers of clothing (well, one if your the free, easy, and breezy type). There's nothing inside your underwear that spreads germs, but you touch it with your filthy, dirty hands and let the bacteria stew all day.
 
Always wash, with soap, and make sure not to touch the door handle on my way out. Well, in public at least - at home I'm not quite as worried... ;)
 
i wash, but some of you people! sheesh! a tad afraid of germs are we? ever heard George Carlin's take on why he never gets sick and why everyone is gonna die? It's from 'You're All Dieased'. Anti-bacterial-ness is why supergerms are gonna kill us all! ;)

When was the last time you cleaned the doorknob at home?

Of course if you don't wash at home and go straight back at the computer, think of all the germs hiding in the keyboard amongst the crumbs.
