My roommate only washes up if he poops, never after peeing. Now every time I’m in any of the common areas I have to wash my hands after touching anything I haven’t wiped down. Thus, I wash my hands twice every time I use the bathroom; once as normal and again in the kitchen because I touched the taps, light switch and door handle in the bathroom which likely have groin sweat on them… /rant

When in public:
Push door open (usually with elbow) Do business Extract paper towel, but do not grab them… Wash hands Get paper towel that has been dangling and begin to dry hands Use paper towel to get more paper towels (not touching the paper towel dispenser mechanism with skin, using the used ppr towel) Use new paper towel to secure the soiled one, and complete doing my hands, and turn off the water… Use paper towel once more to open the door out of the bathroom
This one time I used a bathroom that had a foot handle that you could open and lock the doors with and the rest of the accoutrements were motion activated.
Yes. Even at home. Poo particles everywhere, especially on the flusher.
Take a minute, wash your hands, smile in the mirror to make sure nothing is in your teeth. Straighten yourself up and walk out of that bathroom with your head held high. You deserve it.
How can people not wash after every trip to the restroom? I find it disgusting if I don’t do it, so you can imagine how I feel about others not doing it.
Even if I’m in a hurry, I splash them in water with a squirt of soap and quick scrub. I touch keyboards all day and my hands need to be cleaned. Never mind when I physically worked with IT equipment.
Yes. Especially at work, especially before taking a piss. See, the break room has free snacks, including hot chips. I’ve yet to make the mistake of neglecting to double wash my hands but the fear of god and caspaicin is within me.
No, before
Just seeing the state of toilets and stalls when some people leave… I don’t want that on my hands. When i’m at work I notice many people do their business and bolt out the door if they think they’re alone.
I regret opening this thread and this completly validates me using anything but my bare hands to grab door handles.
Me too. One of the reasons I hate summer is I don’t usually have something with long sleeves to open shuff with.
carry hand sanitizer, but also if it’s the washroom use paper towels to open the door, and toss it on the floor beside the door if they’re stupid enough to not keep a trash can there / within reach.
Usually during. I mean the sink is right there anyway, it saves time, and water.
Don’t waste water like that, just use the pee.
Surgeons wash their hand after peeing. Tradies wash them before peeing. Who would you rather shag?
Also maybe surgeons should be out of the running completely. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25498174/
I think people that over wash also get sick easier from not building up resilience, I still wash in public but more from peer pressure than feeling like my hands are dirty
Every time. It’s about upkeep, not worrying whether I touched anything. Plus, I always blot with toilet paper anyway…
LIFEHACK: do both at once by pissing in your hands! it’s environmentally friendly!!!
Plus, they say pee is sterile.
It’s not, but that’s what they say!
Urine is sterile… until it hits the urethra.
I don’t drink enough bleach for that to be effective though!
Its crazy not to unless the bathroom sink is so gross it feels like it would be worse. What really gets me is folks don’t shower before going into the pool. ewww. I would rather have everyone take a pee in the pool than not shower before. that at least is just proteins as opposed to all the dead skin, bacteria, and oil.
Of course. I am shocked people don’t. But it’s not entirely the act of peeing, it’s the fact a sink and soap are right there. It’s a good idea to wash your hands occasionally, so how about now?
This how I started looking at it. I didn’t piss on my hands and my balls have been wrapped up since my shower. But, youve touched other disgusting things, nows the time to wash them and start clean.
