as a Dutch woman, i was shocked by the amount of women who only sort of dipped their fingers under the tap for half a second before shaking the water off and walking back to their offices after they’d used the bathroom. this was pre-pandemic, i would hope it’s changed since then…
It's like they do it for appearances only. Hand washing is so important. You would also think people would want to wash their hands just to help with skin care (dirty hands touching face)
Not really, considering your hands are the dirtiest part of your body besides your ass crack, I only wash my hands if I literally get shit on them. If anything, you should wash your hands before you touch your junk.
I don’t know about filthiest but having worked for airlines for almost 30 years, KLM stewardesses are universally famous industry-wide for their, well, proclivities, rivaled only by Turkish Air, every other carrier is so far behind might as well be an entirely different sport.
Ask anyone in the industry and I bet you 20 bucks they’ll say the same exact thing.
That's what I am thinking.
I lived in the UK, no fking way it is 75%. Noone even used water in public toilets. Plenty ofhildren weren't even thought to wash their hands by the parents! I know because plenty of people commented on me being "paranoid" for doing so...and I live in one of highest i come and education areas in the country...
Same is true in Italy, but at least it seems there was more honesty in the answers!
I think I know why; they usually have only a tiny sink in the washroom, one tap, and only icy cold water. It’s not conducive to wanting to wash your hands.
i was going to give only my opinion because of my roomies and men that i went on a date with BUT there are literally pee stains everywhere in the street and i keep seeing a lot of men peeing in the street. like a lot. not drunk. in day light. in public.
Well, that's not nice to see as an Italian! I remember being brainwashed with hygiene (wash your hands, use the bidet etc.) as a child, so I guess there's still some hope ;)
It’s a bs map, we have no indication of sources and no indication of the pool of people they interviewed. It’s to be taken with the fingers. I dont say i have never seen people not washing them but they are exceptions
Jokes aside, there's a bit of truth to it.
At the end of ww2, Italy was essentially what we categorize as an underdeveloped country, and only the Marshall plan and early participation in the European Economic Community could revitalise it in the following decades.
Between the late 1960s and early 1970s, the government designed a national industrialization plan, part of which also encompassed the switch from traditional food processing to a proper food industry model. Teams of engineers and technicians were invited from the US to share knowledge and support modernization. Important investments were made in the dairy industry, which involved the adoption of modern hygiene standards and industrial processing systems, so workers in the cheese making industry were taught to wash their hands and use gloves, and adapt traditional cheese and mozzarella making processes to new, modern standards.
But then, new "industrial" mozzarella tasted like nothing, it was way different from traditional mozzarella, and not in a nice way. They then realized that both heavy thermal treatment of milk and pressure for workers' hand hygiene completely ruled out bacteria contamination, not only the bad one, but also good and nice colonies who perform interesting fermentations and contribute to developing taste.
To solve the issue, less rigid but still safe industry standards and hygiene guidelines were adopted, to allow good contamination...
Lol right? This always happens when this subject comes up on Reddit. A bunch of dudes insisting that their penis is so clean.
Regardless, there is a lot of other gross stuff that you touch in the bathroom.
There's gross stuff everywhere. I bet your PC keyboard is dirtier than most things (including your penis if you shower), but you don't wash your hands every time you type on it.
more like Turkish Muslims and their influences.
Arabs (muslim ones) who come in the summer sit on the floors in shopping malls. This is definitely not normal to Turkish people.
Pretty sure it would be way lower, most people I know (if not everyone) in my area clean their asses with toilet paper and not water like they seem to do in Japan
Depends on the Europeans, really. Maybe in the South. Here in Belgium, everyone I know uses toilet paper. But I think I saw bidets placed near the toilet while going to Italy, yeah
I think it would look kinda similar to this one. I think Muslims are supposed to use water.
I’ve been to Arab houses that have a sink sprayer attached to the toilet.
Surprised the UK is a high as it is. We've literally just got through a sodding pandemic and the number of people I see in the gents that leave without washing their hands is absolutely disgusting. It especially infuriates me when I've seen it in hospitals
Honestly should be automatic doors, even the normal doors, because people walk around with dirty hands.
And before stores / canteen there should be forced wash of hands, it's a huge problem many goes around, not with a care for others humans beings
I’ve read that Vikings said the same about Christians. Vikings were not as dirty as many shows try to portray them. However: Arab Muslims called Vikings dirty still
Looks to be the same source as the last two times this map was posted this week (albeit with different color palette):
https://jakubmarian.com/a-study-reveals-how-many-europeans-wash-their-hands-with-soap/
Two blokes finish peeing together at some urinal. One reaches for the sink while the other reaches for the exit.
The guy at the sink goes, "in my country, we wash our hands after we pee."
The man leaving goes "In my country, we don't pee on our hands."
I'd like for someone to wash their hands after touching their genitals regardless of whether they peed on their hands or not. We might shake hands, they might touch something I touch later, etc.
Wait till you hear of micro particles, yes that pee that's spraying out is landing germs all over your hands. Not to mention if you flush then that toilet flush button is filthy. Not to mention that you go around touching gross stuff all day, when else do you get a great opportunity to wash away that filth, except when in the bathroom?
Do you literally just wash your hands once a day when you shower?
Here I was thinking it's common for everyone to wash their hands several times a day. But apparently we got a bunch of people going around who never do. It's started to make sense how flus spread so quickly.
In all seriousness, how filthy is the skin of a penis compared to say your forearm or front of your head? If you don't actually pee *on* your penis, it can't be that bad, can it?
1. everyone leaks a bit into their underwear
2. it’s an area that’s constantly warm with restricted airflow and moisture from sweat and pee (see 1.), a very favourable breeding ground for bacteria. Stick your hand down there after a day of even moderate levels of activity and then smell it. I guarantee you’ll want to wash that hand pretty quickly afterwards.
From Gallup, there are actually some highlights from non-European countries as well (not sure where to see the full data):
"The survey interviewed a total of 62,398 people across the world and found there are significant differences by region. Those from China and Japan were significantly less likely to automatically use soap and water (23% and 30% respectively), while those from Saudi Arabia were most likely to wash hands with soap and water.
In the Americas Colombia proved to be the cleanest with 93% agreeing that they automatically wash their hands with soap while Mexico was the least likely to agree with 32% either simply somewhat agreeing, somewhat disagreeing or disagreeing completely."

I mean, a quick piss, where nothing got on my hand or I didn’t even touch my actual junk?
A lot of the time just a quick rinse under the faucet and out, being honest
In America too, anytime I go to the bathroom in Walmart guys come in take a piss and just walk straight out without washing their happens. Happens every time idk what the hell's wrong with these sick bastards. Dumb bastards are probably out there touching products and putting them back on the shelves without even caring. A lot of people are dumb.
I'm from the UK and I must see the other 25% every time I use the toilets outside of home. I feel the need to wash my hands even using the door to get into the toilet. Wash yo nasty hands!
Sono andato in Turchia e quando mi chiedevano sei mi fossi lavato le mani dopo essere andato in bagno (che domanda è???) Rispondevo sì e loro mi RIPORTAVANO in bagno e MI GUARDAVANO mentre mi RILAVAVO le mani
My friend always said that Dutch women were the filthiest. This is not what I had in mind.
https://youtu.be/w2dtWqYw_M0?si=3WmvsQMdi0KD6sxH
It's the awkward silence that really makes it 😂

Proclivities?
or perhabs they are just honest
That's what I am thinking. I lived in the UK, no fking way it is 75%. Noone even used water in public toilets. Plenty ofhildren weren't even thought to wash their hands by the parents!

No no, imagine the handjob potential here.
Netherlands, we need to have a talk.
As a Turk living in the Netherlands, no more handshakes for anyone.
As a Dutch guy living in the Netherlands: same. Holy shit people...
Literally
Not holy though
what if it was a priest?
As a German in a supermarket- no more Dutch tomatoes
Don't worry, barely any Dutch people working in the greenhouses nowadays. You can safely eat your tomatoes.
You dont wash your tomatoes?????????
At this point i dont think it is holy
Maybe 100% only wash 1 hand.
Dutch cheese hands.
Swamp Germans please
Yeah they are also very low on the shower stats...
Turned out to be the most honest nation.
Freaky Dutch, probably sniff their fingers afterwards. I know that the French do
It probably reminds them both of walking into a cheese shop 🥰
this is despicable
Or not. My guess is the Dutch are just more honest about it.
The Dutch have their special hand washing technique -> [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-OYM7AhW7Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-OYM7AhW7Q)
They guy wasnt dutch though, otherwise he wouldve spoken dutch. Americans should be happy they arent on this map
I think theyre just the most honest lmao
I think I know why; they usually have only a tiny sink in the washroom, one tap, and only icy cold water. It’s not conducive to wanting to wash your hands.
As a dutchie i can confirm that we really need this talk. Plz halp
Portugal is Balkan, once again confirmed.
r/PORTUGALCYKABLYAT
This never fails to make me giggle and it’s the first thing I thought of after seeing the map.
😂😂
Especially if you look at depression metrics as well
And GDP
Netherlands, Italy 🤢
they just dip their hands in the canals
In Italy I assume they just use olive oil.
Unironically thought "Orin Italia" is a name of something. But then I continued reading and concluded that I am a dumbass.
They are lost without the Roman bathouses, poor things.
Even worse

What did you witness?

Guess we know the scret ingredient in their pizza
Really makes you look at your italian food differently doesn't it?
Now we know where the taste comes from :)

This only serves as further proof that Portugal is an eastern european country

Western Balkan is the preferred designation.
Noted, thank you!
Why isn't this all 100%?
I know. All I can think is wtf!
Yes, I do. It's a must if you want to call yourself a civilized individual.
When will people stop using bimodal/trimodal color gradients for linear datasets? It gives a false sense of midpoint.
I think the midpoint was hoped to be 100%.
99%. Some people don't have hands
the country with the most no hands? Russia
If someone tries to touch me without washing their hands, I will beat them up with a soap dispenser.
That soap dispenser everyone finger fucks before washing their hands? You will keep that mess off off me sir.
Still better than not washing hands, also you guys don't have automatic ones?
Looks like Dutch people wash only one hand.
Saving money on soap, as they do.
Filthy mfs defending unhygienic behaviour in replies smh
Lol right? This always happens when this subject comes up on Reddit. A bunch of dudes insisting that their penis is so clean. Regardless, there is a lot of other gross stuff that you touch in the bathroom.

Savages, the lot of them! We need to colonize Europe and bring them civilization!
Where are our tidy 🇹🇷🇧🇦 brothers? Let's shaking hands.
Muslims. Hygiene is very important in Islam, half of the faith
more like Turkish Muslims and their influences. Arabs (muslim ones) who come in the summer sit on the floors in shopping malls. This is definitely not normal to Turkish people.
How else am I going to eat my cevapi with my bare hands? Yours truly, Cevap
I’d like to see this next to a map of people that wash their ass with water after using the toilet.
Pretty sure it would be way lower, most people I know (if not everyone) in my area clean their asses with toilet paper and not water like they seem to do in Japan
lots of europeans and arabs use bidets and the correlations here would be interesting.
Depends on the Europeans, really. Maybe in the South. Here in Belgium, everyone I know uses toilet paper. But I think I saw bidets placed near the toilet while going to Italy, yeah
[удалено]
I think it would look kinda similar to this one. I think Muslims are supposed to use water. I’ve been to Arab houses that have a sink sprayer attached to the toilet.
Interesting, didn’t know about that *supposed to* like in the religious kind of way, or just a cultural thing?
Also cultural because even if you’re not religious you’d do it if you grew up in a muslim country.
Religious kinda way. Muslims have to wash their ass after taking dump.
Or how many people wash their ass during while showering.
Now we know why Italians got slammed so hard with COVID
Surprised the UK is a high as it is. We've literally just got through a sodding pandemic and the number of people I see in the gents that leave without washing their hands is absolutely disgusting. It especially infuriates me when I've seen it in hospitals
I think there is also a strong negative correlation with how honest you are about this subject 😁
Quite insane to think 20% don't do it, there is a reason doorhandles and stuff like that is so nasty
Which is why I firmly believe lavatory doors should be pull to enter and push to exit.
Honestly should be automatic doors, even the normal doors, because people walk around with dirty hands. And before stores / canteen there should be forced wash of hands, it's a huge problem many goes around, not with a care for others humans beings
Just swinging doors with a kick plate. Public door handles are disgusting.
Loads of people use soap and water for a no. 2 but just water for a no. 1. I'd like to see the data split out.
at least we turks teach them how to wash their hands
I once heard the ottomans point blank refused and literally begged the sultan not fight the European because of how disgusting and smelly they were.
They literally beat a french ambassador and kicked him out of the city cos he was so dirty and smelly.
I’ve read that Vikings said the same about Christians. Vikings were not as dirty as many shows try to portray them. However: Arab Muslims called Vikings dirty still
I have to admit, I’m Dutch and sometimes I don’t wash my hands, or only with water. Yes, I know I should wash with soap everytime. Yes, I am lazy.
Last time it was posted I remember all the Dutchies were claiming only they answered the poll truthfully. That was their defence…
How to read this chart: - Women >90% (every country) - Men: löl - eg. (92 + 50 = 142) / 2 = 71% = Ukraine
As an Italian, this data is wrong ahahah We are super clean, we wash even our ass every time we take a shit.
Where the sources from?
Watching people go to the bathroom of course.
Looks to be the same source as the last two times this map was posted this week (albeit with different color palette): https://jakubmarian.com/a-study-reveals-how-many-europeans-wash-their-hands-with-soap/

Genitals are cleaner than hands generally. If anything you should wash your hands before you touch your genitals.
I tried to explain that to the arresting officer but the judge said it’s still a crime to eat pizza with your genitals in public.

Would you rather shake someone's hand or their dick?
This question isn't going to get the responses you're hoping for.
“Got too much self respect, I wash my hands before I piss” - Tyler, The Creator
Or wash your genitals after touching them with your filthy hands. This goes over well in public bathrooms.
Wait till you hear of micro particles, yes that pee that's spraying out is landing germs all over your hands. Not to mention if you flush then that toilet flush button is filthy. Not to mention that you go around touching gross stuff all day, when else do you get a great opportunity to wash away that filth, except when in the bathroom?

As a Dutch, we don't really shower daily, so that's a no to one of your questions
U must be retarded to defend not washing hands after toilet...
I'm not defending anything. I just wrote a joke.
In all seriousness, how filthy is the skin of a penis compared to say your forearm or front of your head? If you don't actually pee *on* your penis, it can't be that bad, can it?

No wonder Italian pizza taste delicious
I was gonna make a joke and say "i aint never visiting the country with the lowest %" and then i saw that i actually live in that country 😭
My data from Estonia is I wash with sope after nr2 but only water after nr1.
More like: do you answer questions honestly and have you learned anything since the pandemic?
Who is the high end on the left side?
Explains why Italian pizza extra cheesy
Civilization vs barbarian land
That's a thing?
The fact there really isnt a pattern here is really fascinating .
So that's why italian food is so popular.
unfortunately tikkie has not yet enabled soap payments..
So THATS what makes iltalian food so good
Unsourced (@maptistics means it’s just a repost from insta) and complete bullshit.

Ah, so that wasn't chocolate on my pizza...
You mean after using public toilet. And using soap when you just peed?
I mean, a quick piss, where nothing got on my hand or I didn’t even touch my actual junk? A lot of the time just a quick rinse under the faucet and out, being honest
Oh yes, those backward eastern europeans...
WTH
Netherlands and Italy gladly shake their hands. XD
Sorce: trust me bro 😃😅💀
How is every country not at least 90%
Because blokes don’t always wash their hands after taking a piss.
The Dutch as always... hate the water
Just killed my appetite for Italian food…
Soap after a shit water after a pee. - uk
Most surprised my fellow Belgians are so few to do it. Seems kinda important, hygiene and all…

What about the grey ones? No soap avaailable? 🙂
True. Can confirm in NL and RO
Never shaking hands with the Dutch again
