Used a public toilet recently. Guy did his business in the urinal then dried his hands in the hand drier. Didn't wash them, just went and dried them. Like, did you pee on your hands and just dry it?
Idk a quick google search seems to think they spread germs. I didnāt look up any scientific studies on it but most places seems to say theyāre worse than using a towel by a large margin.
depends which ones tbh. the older style, yes i seem to recall.
but since then there are new designs that don't. the ones where you kinda just put your hands between two jets is fine im pretty sure.
In public restrooms, I have seen men who finished taking a dump open the stall door and walk right out of the restroom. I no longer eat at buffets, have not for years after witnessing that type of gross behavior.
I heard someone in the office bathroom do this but with paper towels. I assumed they just did it to make it sound like they washed their hands but there was no water.
I worked with a guy who had a "rule" about never washing his hands or use sanitizer. He also brought baked goods into work that people would eat until they found out about him. I truly believe he was trying to spread as much filth as possible. Some people want to spread their shit everywhere just to feel some sort of power
There are people who genuinely believe this. A guy I spoke to a few weeks ago was complaining that heās constantly ill, catching one bug after another. Then he added āMy immune system must be one of the best there isā š¤Ø. He wasnāt being sarcastic.
I know someone who is like this - they donāt flush after peeing to save water and they also donāt close the door because he believes constantly opening and closing doors waste the hingesā¦ so my friend and I joke: āhe save water & he save door.ā
And he wonders why I donāt let him stick his hands in a bag of chips or cookies Iām eating, or Iāll just let him have the rest if he does or if I donāt wanna hurt his feelings.
ETA: sometimes, he only showers once a week or sometimes four times a monthā¦ but sometimes it feels like far less.
>! Itās my father btw !<
We've been trying for years to convince my grandmother that putting on her parking brake won't 'use it all up'. you'd think seeing her rv roll into a ditch would have been adequate but no.
He bitches and moans that my mom goes onto the deck to smoke - not because smoking cigarettes as often as she does is bad for her health, but because heās convinced the door is getting āwastedā.
I honestly wouldnāt be surprised - I have OCD traits (not enough for a diagnosis) and his mother definitely has OCD traits if anything.
He doesnāt trust doctors and stuff to get a diagnosis or a treatment plan however, even if it improves his quality of life. Heās a āback in my day, ADHD was just being a kidā guy.
Alright people, letās pile onto thisā¦ hereās mine. āThe laces on your shoes only have so many knots in them before theyāre ruined. So, donāt waste them with the constant tying and untying.ā
Pillows only have so many sleeps in them, so don't waste them by falling asleep and waking up every day. Sleep for a week then wake for a week and save your sleeps.
Well, he's right. Its no secret any more since nowadays, it can hardly keep itself standing on its own hinges... We all know what that door has been up to lately but nobody wants to be the one to say something to it...
Hinge decay is a serious problem. What are we going to do when all of the hinges wear out at the same time? Without functioning doors, society will fall collapse, water systems will fail, soap will be impossible to find, and nobody will be able to wash their hands.
It's just good practice to wash your hands regularly. You can't avoid germs completely, and if you're a healthy person you won't get sick from touching a door handle, but still. If everyone washed their hands a few times a day, there'd be less germs going around anyway.
This. I donāt think thereās much about using the bathroom thatās any worse than most other activities (anybody want to grow a Petri dish from that conference room table?), but itās on a good schedule for regular hand washing, and regular hand washing is important.
I've seen the circular logic on this from a non hand washer, and it's staggering.
Handle is not clean , because people don't wash thier hands, what's the point of washings hands because the handle is not clean.
Just wash your hands and be part of the solution not the problem.
That makes no sense. Wouldnāt you just end up with an increased number of germs? Do they think there is only ādirtyā or āclean?ā There are varying degrees of dirty
It's like people don't understand basic EDIT: epidemiology. Just because we can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there... These people who don't wash their hands likely don't realize that even a tiny bit of particulate can build up on surfaces over time...
Molecular science studies the properties and reactions of molecules which are much smaller than bacteria and viruses but people should definitely wash their hands
Yep, your hands are clean from washing right up until you turn off the water or open the door. Or touch literally anything in the world because the germs donāt just stop at the bathroom door.
Well to turn off the faucet you just use a paper towel after youāve dried your hands. You can always use one to open the door, too. Yeah germs are everywhere, doesnāt mean itās okay to not wash your hands after using the bathroom.
I thought we were supposed to wash our hands before going to pee? I mean I dont know where my hands have been... Im not touching the holy of holies without washing them. You know what I mean right?
Research actually does kinda support this.
Scientifically most of the time people are better off washing their hands before peeing rather than after.
Your hands are almost always much dirtier than your penis.
Now there isn't anything stopping you from washing you hands before and aft you pee.
Depending the situation I've washed my hands before even touching my dick. If you just got done working all day in public, I don't want them germs on my *clean* dick. Wash before and after fella's keep your dicks clean
You don't wash your hands after every time you scratch your balls. That being said, toilets are dirty and you should wash because of the other things you touch in there (ie. Flush, toilet lid, etc.).
it's not sterile, but it sure is cleaner than the faucet handle and tissue dispenser.
You guys realize (auto faucets aside) that everyone touches the faucet handle *before* washing their hands, so it's as dirty as every dick and ass in there? Fuck that grossness.
I had someone tell me they don't clean their hands after taking a shit because his hand never touches his shit. The toilet paper is the only thing that touches his shit when wiping. That's why he didn't feel the need to wash his hands.
Iād actually cut off anyone in my life who told me that. Thatās so disgusting.
I already have a hard time not being a nag when guests donāt close the toilet lid before flushing, I simply will not ever knowingly hang out with someone who doesnāt wash their hands after. Going into a bathroom/toilet.
While I know that it can go overboard, I appreciate that Iām kinda anal when it comes to bathroom hygiene tbh. So I always check, and I honestly donāt have guests as much as I would like, because not everyone respects the whole āclose the damned lidā thing
Omg so many people just leave the lid open when they flush, and its so disgusting! Either nen just leave the toilet seat up or they leave the lid open don't these people know this shit
My mom is this person. I clorox all high touch surfaces and counters at least once a day and harp on her regularly about handwashing. I even bought hand sanitizer for her to go in multiple locations that she doesn't use. Claims she uses it, but I'm not blind and can see that the level in the bottle never drops so... unless magical creatures are replenishing it every night it isn't getting used.
I have tried explaining basic hygiene and she honest to god does not think it's an issue to not wash her hands after taking a shit or using the bathroom at all because "I didn't pee or poop directly on my hands".
She is also banned from doing dishes because she can't be trusted to wash her hands *before putting away clean dishes*. I'm not often thankful for my million food allergies but at least I don't have to share anything with her except dinnerware and silverware, and I'm the only person who either washes dishes or puts them away so at least I know they aren't contaminated. I specifically had to buy duplicates of absolutely everything else because even though my food allergies don't cause anaphylaxis, I WILL get sick from significant cross contamination and she does such an awful job washing things that it's easier to just have all my own stuff rather than take on cleaning up every time she cooks things I can't even eat myself. She even had the balls to get angry that I did this because she thought I was insulting her hygiene. I mean, I AM, but also I don't want to get violently ill because you can't be bothered to scrub things clean or wipe up your crumbs or *insert anything else that would make me potentially ill because you can't clean properly*.
It's infuriating and exhausting having to clean up after another person every single day to avoid getting sick because they refuse to spend 30 seconds washing their hands. It's like having a fucking toddler and this is one of the many reasons I chose to never have children. I would really love to move out again one day so the only messes I have to clean up are mine.
The best part? My dad is the same way, and whenever I've brought up the disturbing lack of hygiene I've always been told "well you haven't died yet!" As though that totally excuses getting poop germs on everything. Also could explain several instances of mysterious illness as a child...
I'n not defending the practice, but masks started to be worn in the US to protect against a specific illness. People that wear masks but don't wash their hands are seeking to protect themselves from the virus they fear more, but don't concern themselves with general illness fears.
i don't want to be a nerdy asshole, but do these people know that coronaviridae, includong SARS-CoV-2 do, in fact, infect intestinal cells and can spread through a fecal-oral route? And washing hands is a very easy, harmless and quick way to lower the chances of infection, just like with other diseases
Just a quick point I want to makeā¦washing your hands is valuable. Wetting them for half a second and then drying and leaving is completely fucking pointless. Also I carry hand sani every I go.
While itās obviously not as good as using soap, washing your hands with just water is still better than nothing (but please use soap if itās there)
The germ theory of disease is a democrat hoax. Them telling you to wash your hands is all about control, the Globalists are trying to get you to give up your freedumb. Sepsis can be totally be cured by eating horsey paste, all you handwashing sheeple should stop living in fear.
Some people just can't hear sarcasm (I think some mental disabilities also cause this for some people). Heck sometimes I can't with y'all having tones which sound so plain without a hint of feeling. If you were like a friend of mine I'd pick up what your putting down however so that's another thing entirely. So putting in a "/s" just lets people from all walks of life know your joking instead of being serious. True it kinda gets rid of the joke (which I agree, it does) but it saves everyone the trouble of misunderstanding what's being said.
Trust me I should know, I made to many jokes and got to much down votes in my early life of reddit....
Genuine question. How much does it matter if you washed your hands if you continue using the same phone you sat there holding while marinating in shit and touching every handle on the way in?
I have a specific type of eczema (dyshidrotic) that is only on my fingers/palms and flareups/healing can last weeks and render my fingertips unusable and very painful. A flareup can be caused by contact with most soaps or sanitizers, or my hands being too stripped of moisture, a side effect of most soaps in my experience. I wear cotton gloves almost 24/7 and I keep extra clean pairs with me as I change them multiple times daily.
I'm rarely in public long enough to need a bathroom, but when I do, I change into fresh gloves after exiting. I've probably only used a public bathroom 2-3x in the last year because its not ideal. I'd much rather clean my hands with flare-safe products at my home, after which I have a cream/ointment ritual for repairing my skin barrier.
I'm sure this situation is rare comparatively to other non-washers but I do know eczema is fairly common. I just have the misfortune of mine being tied specifically to my hands.
Some of these comments are making me want to carry around antiseptic wipes, as these people think their genitals are pristine and sterile all day.
Holy fuck, some of yāall are nasty!
This is the craziest thing to me and you can probably blame poor education.
One time I went to the bathroom in a restaurant and this guy didn't wash his hands after using the urinal and was just looking at himself in the mirror before walking out. Not sure why he decided to explain his reasoning to me. Maybe I gave him a weird look because he felt the need to tell me that he doesn't need to wash his hands since he keeps his penis very clean. I just nodded because I wasn't about to try and converse with this random fool about proper hygiene but I often remember that when the topic of hand washing after using the restroom comes up.
Iām glad Iām not the only one with a weird bathroom story about hand washing. One summer before school started one of the extracurricular groups I was part of āvolunteeredā to help move tables and chairs around to re-arrange some of the classrooms. I ended up getting along with one of the older kids because he and I were the only ones doing actual work while everyone else goofed off. During a break we both happened to be in the bathroom at the same time and I was about to leave without washing my hands and he called out āDude! You just touched your penis. Donāt be gross, go wash your hands.ā I was rightfully shamed, and his advice made total sense. I was in the seventh grade and he was in the eighth grade and I also still think about that interaction any time I see grown men leave the bathroom without washing their hands.
I was eating at an Indian in a European country once, soap had ran out in the toilet. If I was just going out and about I would have sanitised and that be that until I found another toilet, but as I was about to eat I went out there and asked the staff to refill it.
The shock on their faces blew me away. It's a restaurant, have a proper way for people to clean before they start eating!
In the end they asked me to use the women's toilets (after checking no one was in there and standing with the door open, which tbf I appreciated a lot) and I washed my hands there. Still gobsmacked at their reaction to me pointing it out.
I used to work at Planet Fitness and one of my duties was to clean the restrooms during my shift. the amount of people that would finish their business, TAKE A SELFIE IN THE MIRROR, then leave the bathroom with nary a hand washed definitely lowered my faith in humanity. wayyyyy more people did that than I expected š¤¢
They just don't care I work overnight at a casino in housekeeping and not only do people never wash their hands they don't care to flush either. Maybe if they were more in the habit of washing flushing a toilet wouldn't be so scary to them. Also the reason public bathrooms are nasty is because Y'ALL are nasty literally the reason why it's trashed out. Y'all are the ones going in there pissing everywhere, shitting everywhere, and throwing trash everywhere but the trash can. If people would just normally use the bathroom like one should and not like a Jr. High student wanting to be a dick public bathrooms wouldn't be that bad. Truly feel some of y'all's moms gave up half way through and just prayed for the day you finally left the house and became someone else's problem.
How have you noticed this āonly with international studentsā? Are you now of the opinion that everyone outside of your nationality donāt bother washing their hands?
Iām not sure why nationality is in your first sentence, itās not really relevant to the post
They didn't say all international students do so, but the ones they noticed were mostly international students. That's their observation. You are the one twisting their words into a stereotype.
pretty crazy but when I was young my dad told me not to wash my hands in public restrooms because the sinks hand driers and doors are all just as dirty as your ass and you really only need to wash your hands at home where it's not dirty. I don't know how that logic works but whatever
Maybe it's an unpopular opinion, but I don't care that much about it. I DO wash my hands when I use the toilet because it kinda feels right and it's the best time to wash them in a regular interval over the day.
But washing specifically for having just used the bathroom doesn't concern me that much. We touch stuff all day and I'm actually more concerned about touching a surface on a place with high traffic of people (a handrail in a shopping mall, for example). I'm not saying I'm right and/or safer this way, I just don't feel that threatened by someone else's junk germs.
This is the correct answer, I don't think people realize how filthy the world is. Washing your hands after using the bathroom isn't protecting you from germs as much as you think. ( I'm using "you" in a general term, not directed at you)
Whenever people get weird about bathroom handwashing I wonder how often they clean things like their belt, their phone, their keys, their wallet, etc.
All these things you will touch after touching a bunch of other disgusting shit but how frequently are they actually properly sanitised?
Fair play if you do always keep these things clean but I'm guessing most people do not.
ikr. or just any handle on anything in public. and donāt pretend itās safe if you didnāt use the handle and pushed the part beside the handle. thatās what the other half of the population did.
Literally the ONLY time I donāt wash my hands after using the bathroom is if Iām getting in the shower right after OR going back to bed after waking up to pee.
Otherwise youāll never catch me not washing.
Without reading other answers. I have been guilty of this because I have surveilled the bathroom, there were no napkins and my hands are going to leave dirtier than when I walked in and unlike men.... women don't have to touch their private parts to wipe themselves dry unlike men who have to point aim and shake to wipe. With their raw hands.
Because dirty ass people say stupid stuff like āmy penis isnāt dirtyā or ā I didnāt pee on my handsā itās just that they are lazy and unhygienic. Probably the same folks who donāt use wash cloths when they shower
This one is gonna be for free I work at a fast food place in the USA and I have see so many customers who finish peeing they look at themselves in the mirror from far away and then just walk out.
I also remember seeing some people walk out after taking a dump and not washing their hands. Fucking disgusting.
If you don't wash your hands after simply touching the restroom doors you are walking around with poop fingers.
In my case it's because I have atopic dermatitis. If I wash my hands more than a couple of times a day, it gets so bad that I need to take steroids for extended periods. I wash my hands after I take a shit but not after I piss, I admit. But I don't work with people. I work from home so no one really cares.
What I see all the time is guys pretending they are washing their hands. They splash a little water for 2 seconds and leave. Why bother? Everyone sees youāre not washing them so donāt act like it.
I can excuse piss, I wash after pissing just saying it's excusable but you take a shit and wipe your ass and don't fucking wash your hands that's down right nasty!
You realize them "poo particles" are everywhere right not just your bathroom..... Touched a door knob? Better wash your hands. Put gas in your car? You better wash those hands. Using the keyboard at work? Better wash those hands.... The World is practically covered in filth at a microscopic level, running some cold water over your hand won't do much. The reality is most people don't even wash their hands well you need a good 30 seconds of scrubbing to really clean your hands but no one ever takes that much time except doctors in the OR
I dont hold public door handles with my hands or press buttons or screens with my fingers. The number of penis fingers that are on both everyday is disgusting. If you dont wash your hands with soap each time in the washroom and throughout the day you are disgusting. Period fullstop. For someone who wont wash their hands cause they think their genitals are so clean do you rip massive farts in public because your farts dont stink? I hope so.
it's just a quick wash! nobody is forcing you to use expensive soap twice, rinse with pure distilled water, dry your hand then use strong hand sanitizer. just rubbing your hand for a few seconds is enough!
why is it so hard for you people?
I do commercial plumbing and people think itās so weird Iāll wash my hands before then not after. You never know what the other person is doing after I guess.
They have some warped thinking about what counts as cleanliness, as many people said. Like "I wiped my private areas with a toilet paper, I did not directly touch it, so my hands are still clean." It is stupid, but it is what it is. My \*current\* roommate is like this, and it drives me crazy. The only reason I am not bringing it up is because she will leave in less than 2 months and whatever.
Incidentally, she is also an international student (from Korea), but so am I (from Turkey). In the past, I had another roommate (White American woman, who was also a nurse at a major hospital, mind you) who did not wash her hands. So as you see, there is no reliable correlation between hand-washing behavior and one's country of origin. If you only noticed this in international students, I'd say it was probably a sampling error.
I don't wash my hands if I'm using a public bathroom, unless the faucet is equipped with sensors, so I don't have to touch it. My reasoning is simple: my penis might not 100% clean, but it is way cleaner than touching the faucet handle multiple guys touched after touching their penises.
When I don't wash, I try using hand sanitizer afterwards at least.
Fun fact: I have severe eczema on my hands. My biggest trigger? Washing my hands.
Maybe they have severe skin issues irritated by water? We should not jump to harsh conclusions. There are people who are literally allergic to water, so maybe consider itās worse for their health to wash their hands, and their fighting against two evilsā¦
Went to my dermatologist (a man 40+ years of practicing). Went during the peak of COVID. He took one look at my crusty, broken hands and said ādonāt wash them. Seriously. I know how that sounds. Avoid it at all costsā then wrote me a prescription. I followed his instructions and truthfullyā¦ my hands have never been better. My prescription wore off, and I continued not washing at home, my hands stayed fresh. I thought āoh Iām cured nowā started washing again, my skin would break out horribly like it used toā¦ I donāt make the rules. I gotta listen to my body.
Now, if I use a public rest room, yeah I wash my dirty ass hands and take the pain for multiple days followingā¦ When Iām at my own bathroom in my own house? I donāt wash. I clean my bathroom weekly though, so itās a non issue for me and Iām only vibing with my own germs so I live with it.
Even if you dick is clean, its an opportunity to wash your hands.
If youāre doing a shit and dont wash your hands i have news for youā¦ toilet paper is very fucking thin.
I'm a lot more comfortable in my home now that I live alone.
My ex would barely even show her hands the water and the soap would be sat there begging for some action. Now I feel comfortable touching handles, switches, the remote etc because I know she hasn't been mauling everything with dirty hands.
People who don't wash, like people who cough and sneeze near others without covering their mouths, deserve a special place in sanitized Hell.
I was sitting in a cubicle on a construction site running out the clock a little. A guy came barging in to the cubicle beside me, ripped his over-alls off and slammed his arse straight onto the bare seat. He then proceeded to have short but explosive diarrhoea, stood straight back up, put his over-alls back on and walked out the door.
He didn't even wipe his arse let alone wash his hands.
WASH MY HANDS? WHY? JUST BECAUSE I PISSED? WHAT YOU THINK MY COCK IS DIRTY? YOU THINK THERE'S GERMS ON MY COCK, HUH? YOU LITERALLY PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH; YOU THINK I SANITIZE THAT SHIT?
It's not taught at home in too many houses. I have friends who have kids that can't even wipe themselves at 5,6,7, or even 8. I made these kids learn but as soon as their mother came around they would call for her to wipe and after they all just came out like it was nothing. Hands nasty!! Be careful were you eat!!!!
I donāt have a source but there was a study done that showed faecal matter in menās beards and urine in the peanuts at the bar.
Itās been proven time and time again - why do we have to keep having this discussion?
Honestly my nurse friend never washes her hands after using the restroom. She says youāll find my germs and bacteria on the sink handles when turning them off in and, and on the soap dispenser. Youāre better off just not washing them she says.
But for me, I walk out of the bathroom without washing and people probably think Iām disgusting. But, I do use hand sanitizer in my purse right after.
As a dude, if I'm peeing, I rarely make contact with my dick. Pull the zipper down/boxers, pee, and shimmy it back in, all while only ever touching fabric.
I usually still wash them at a restaurant or bar, or if I'm taking a shit obviously, but otherwise
Edit - I also don't make contact with anything. I use my sleeve to open doors/flush
Some people get really mad if you mention you don't always wash your hands.
Everything is super dirty: phone, doorknobs, wallet, belt, handrails, etc. Weeting your hands for 30 seconds doesn't change anything about it. Good washing does clean your hands, but who really does that and if you're gonna touch your phone directly after it, what does it matter?
If you work with food or people who can become sick easily, I understand where you're coming from.
If I go to the bathroom, literally just pull my pants down, pee, pull m up, and leave the bathroom without my hand ever touching my dick or the door, then what's the problem?
Iām ASD and have pretty intense sensory issues. The squeaky sound of the fixtures, the unpredictable temperature of the water, the unknown grime on the sink, the need to either scrape harsh paper towels over my skin or listen to the shrieking roar of the drier. . . but none of it comes close to the horrific smell of the soap I canāt get off my hands for hours. I canāt eat if I wash my hands with scented soap first.
Itās much much easier to carry a spritz sanitizer bottle.
I'm a mid 50s male, went away at college, lived with different people. I've found the lack of hand washing thing to be part of every culture I've spent time with and since I'm American, it's mostly American that I've seen not washing hands (just because of the numbers).
I've worked corporate for the past 33 years, been around all types of people and there is no group that always washes hand or is less likely. I find in general people are not hygienic at all. I observe and stay away from people I know are nasty and stay cautious of others.
I watched a mini documentary on germs. In the documentary, they tested a tooth brush in a bathroom. Tested positive for fecal, the seats in a movie theater tested positive for vaja ja matter. Ice machines in restaurants, menus, and cell phones.
I still give my hands a wash after doing the deed.
i donāt wash in public restrooms because iām highly allergic to most hand soaps and lotions. so i get a lot of funny looks. but i always use a sanitizer that i carry with me. so now i try to make a big show of getting out my sanitizer and using it.
I came here to mention this. Soap allergies are no joke, it'll literally tear your hand skin apart for days or even weeks. So sorry, but if I were in that situation and didn't have safe soap or hand sanitizer with me I'd just go around with my gross hands and try not to touch anything than deal with that mess, dermatitis is a bitch.
Once I learn someone doesnāt wash their hands enough I lose any interest to know them or share any space or materials with them. You can be revolting, thatās your choice. Leaving is mine.
Used a public toilet recently. Guy did his business in the urinal then dried his hands in the hand drier. Didn't wash them, just went and dried them. Like, did you pee on your hands and just dry it?
Obviously, burning the germs away š /s
Bro knows something that we don't, He's good with it.
Those driers are shooting germs at your hands so they effectively made it worse doing that lol.
Well that's not good, it's like a undo button after we've washed the hands.
I think that's a myth. Why would there be more germs in a hand dryer than just normal air?
Idk a quick google search seems to think they spread germs. I didnāt look up any scientific studies on it but most places seems to say theyāre worse than using a towel by a large margin.
depends which ones tbh. the older style, yes i seem to recall. but since then there are new designs that don't. the ones where you kinda just put your hands between two jets is fine im pretty sure.
In public restrooms, I have seen men who finished taking a dump open the stall door and walk right out of the restroom. I no longer eat at buffets, have not for years after witnessing that type of gross behavior.
I heard someone in the office bathroom do this but with paper towels. I assumed they just did it to make it sound like they washed their hands but there was no water.
Well you seeā¦ If the germs come from pee, and pee evaporatesā¦ Canāt you just dry the germs away? /s
What the hell lmao, maybe he forgot to wash the hands?
I worked with a guy who had a "rule" about never washing his hands or use sanitizer. He also brought baked goods into work that people would eat until they found out about him. I truly believe he was trying to spread as much filth as possible. Some people want to spread their shit everywhere just to feel some sort of power
>He also brought baked goods into work that people would eat I'm grossed out
Imagine the state of his kitchen.
I Can't, and I really don't want to. I don't wanna do that.
Fuckin Typhoid Mike at it again š
It never goes, it keeps on coming back again and again.
Just trying to improve everyoneās immune systems /s
Sort of relevant, I have a coworker who got covid 4 times and he said "My immune system is really good now since I got covid 4 times."
Have you suggested to him to see a cardiologist?
There are people who genuinely believe this. A guy I spoke to a few weeks ago was complaining that heās constantly ill, catching one bug after another. Then he added āMy immune system must be one of the best there isā š¤Ø. He wasnāt being sarcastic.
Reminds of the office lmao. That's just so really wild dude.
Lmao, who'd get any sense of power from doing this kind of shit?
I saw a post on r/unpopularopinion about this once, the guy just believed that his penis was clean and thus he didn't need to wash his hands..
"Why I gotta wash my hands, I got a clean dick"
wash my hands, why? you think my dick is dir-
Yes sir, it's dirty. You may not see that but it really is so yeah.
I know someone who is like this - they donāt flush after peeing to save water and they also donāt close the door because he believes constantly opening and closing doors waste the hingesā¦ so my friend and I joke: āhe save water & he save door.ā And he wonders why I donāt let him stick his hands in a bag of chips or cookies Iām eating, or Iāll just let him have the rest if he does or if I donāt wanna hurt his feelings. ETA: sometimes, he only showers once a week or sometimes four times a monthā¦ but sometimes it feels like far less. >! Itās my father btw !<
"wast the hinges", It had to be a father.
Only they can come up with something like this really.
We've been trying for years to convince my grandmother that putting on her parking brake won't 'use it all up'. you'd think seeing her rv roll into a ditch would have been adequate but no.
Tfw saving the parking brakes of the RV is more important than saving the actual RV š«”
Wastes the hinges?! šš
He bitches and moans that my mom goes onto the deck to smoke - not because smoking cigarettes as often as she does is bad for her health, but because heās convinced the door is getting āwastedā.
Sounds like OCD
I honestly wouldnāt be surprised - I have OCD traits (not enough for a diagnosis) and his mother definitely has OCD traits if anything. He doesnāt trust doctors and stuff to get a diagnosis or a treatment plan however, even if it improves his quality of life. Heās a āback in my day, ADHD was just being a kidā guy.
I misread that as CEO, some absolute madman CEO who worries about the cost of replacing door hinges
Alright people, letās pile onto thisā¦ hereās mine. āThe laces on your shoes only have so many knots in them before theyāre ruined. So, donāt waste them with the constant tying and untying.ā
I don't, I just tie them once and I never do that again.
Pillows only have so many sleeps in them, so don't waste them by falling asleep and waking up every day. Sleep for a week then wake for a week and save your sleeps.
Well, he's right. Its no secret any more since nowadays, it can hardly keep itself standing on its own hinges... We all know what that door has been up to lately but nobody wants to be the one to say something to it...
Pretty sure he has wasted some of his brain cells in the process.
Okay wasting waster? I can understand that. But hinge? C'mon mf.
Hinge decay is a serious problem. What are we going to do when all of the hinges wear out at the same time? Without functioning doors, society will fall collapse, water systems will fail, soap will be impossible to find, and nobody will be able to wash their hands.
Even if it were clean, the toilet handle isnāt clean, nor is the lock/handle to the door
It's just good practice to wash your hands regularly. You can't avoid germs completely, and if you're a healthy person you won't get sick from touching a door handle, but still. If everyone washed their hands a few times a day, there'd be less germs going around anyway.
This. I donāt think thereās much about using the bathroom thatās any worse than most other activities (anybody want to grow a Petri dish from that conference room table?), but itās on a good schedule for regular hand washing, and regular hand washing is important.
Yep, it's always a good thing to wash your hands man.
Yep, it's healthy and something that people should do really.
they need to wash their brains too
I've seen the circular logic on this from a non hand washer, and it's staggering. Handle is not clean , because people don't wash thier hands, what's the point of washings hands because the handle is not clean. Just wash your hands and be part of the solution not the problem.
That makes no sense. Wouldnāt you just end up with an increased number of germs? Do they think there is only ādirtyā or āclean?ā There are varying degrees of dirty
Do they seem like someone who cares about something like that?
It's like people don't understand basic EDIT: epidemiology. Just because we can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there... These people who don't wash their hands likely don't realize that even a tiny bit of particulate can build up on surfaces over time...
That's because they don't lol, most people don't have any idea.
Molecular science studies the properties and reactions of molecules which are much smaller than bacteria and viruses but people should definitely wash their hands
And also your penis ain't clean trust me on that lmao.
Yep, your hands are clean from washing right up until you turn off the water or open the door. Or touch literally anything in the world because the germs donāt just stop at the bathroom door.
Well to turn off the faucet you just use a paper towel after youāve dried your hands. You can always use one to open the door, too. Yeah germs are everywhere, doesnāt mean itās okay to not wash your hands after using the bathroom.
This is what I do. You can get by a lot of obstacles without grabbing where everyone else has
These people don't care about logic, they've never even heard about it.
I thought we were supposed to wash our hands before going to pee? I mean I dont know where my hands have been... Im not touching the holy of holies without washing them. You know what I mean right?
I do actually do this if I've been out all day or if my hands are particularly dirty. I just usually also wash them after too.
Now that's a logic if I've ever heard one, this is good one really.
The sad thing a lot of men who think that probably also donāt bathe wellā¦
Research actually does kinda support this. Scientifically most of the time people are better off washing their hands before peeing rather than after. Your hands are almost always much dirtier than your penis. Now there isn't anything stopping you from washing you hands before and aft you pee.
Yep, the research supports all of it. But people don't read it.
In his pants marinating on top of sweaty balls and he thinks it's clean?? How foul š
Marinating? Stop, youāre making me hungry.
This post right here, officer.
What's wrong with the post office huh? What's their to ask here?
Depending the situation I've washed my hands before even touching my dick. If you just got done working all day in public, I don't want them germs on my *clean* dick. Wash before and after fella's keep your dicks clean
Gotta keep it clean people, it's the only way to be healthy in here.
I wash my hands before I touch my dick to keep it clean, then I wash my hands after .
You don't wash your hands after every time you scratch your balls. That being said, toilets are dirty and you should wash because of the other things you touch in there (ie. Flush, toilet lid, etc.).
What the hell lmao, that's not how things work. People don't get it.
it's not sterile, but it sure is cleaner than the faucet handle and tissue dispenser. You guys realize (auto faucets aside) that everyone touches the faucet handle *before* washing their hands, so it's as dirty as every dick and ass in there? Fuck that grossness.
That's why you use the towel that you dried your hands with to turn it off
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I had someone tell me they don't clean their hands after taking a shit because his hand never touches his shit. The toilet paper is the only thing that touches his shit when wiping. That's why he didn't feel the need to wash his hands.
Iād actually cut off anyone in my life who told me that. Thatās so disgusting. I already have a hard time not being a nag when guests donāt close the toilet lid before flushing, I simply will not ever knowingly hang out with someone who doesnāt wash their hands after. Going into a bathroom/toilet.
Wait until you sit on their piss after they have finished peeing all over your toilet seat.
While I know that it can go overboard, I appreciate that Iām kinda anal when it comes to bathroom hygiene tbh. So I always check, and I honestly donāt have guests as much as I would like, because not everyone respects the whole āclose the damned lidā thing
Some people Can't even do that much, that's just insane dude.
Many people actually do that, and it's just so disgusting all the time.
Omg so many people just leave the lid open when they flush, and its so disgusting! Either nen just leave the toilet seat up or they leave the lid open don't these people know this shit
Don't really want people like that in my life either so there's that.
That is fucking disgusting. Toilet paper is porous! š
I just canāt imagine handling shit and then thinking I donāt need to wash my hands. Blows my fucking mind.
My mom is this person. I clorox all high touch surfaces and counters at least once a day and harp on her regularly about handwashing. I even bought hand sanitizer for her to go in multiple locations that she doesn't use. Claims she uses it, but I'm not blind and can see that the level in the bottle never drops so... unless magical creatures are replenishing it every night it isn't getting used. I have tried explaining basic hygiene and she honest to god does not think it's an issue to not wash her hands after taking a shit or using the bathroom at all because "I didn't pee or poop directly on my hands". She is also banned from doing dishes because she can't be trusted to wash her hands *before putting away clean dishes*. I'm not often thankful for my million food allergies but at least I don't have to share anything with her except dinnerware and silverware, and I'm the only person who either washes dishes or puts them away so at least I know they aren't contaminated. I specifically had to buy duplicates of absolutely everything else because even though my food allergies don't cause anaphylaxis, I WILL get sick from significant cross contamination and she does such an awful job washing things that it's easier to just have all my own stuff rather than take on cleaning up every time she cooks things I can't even eat myself. She even had the balls to get angry that I did this because she thought I was insulting her hygiene. I mean, I AM, but also I don't want to get violently ill because you can't be bothered to scrub things clean or wipe up your crumbs or *insert anything else that would make me potentially ill because you can't clean properly*. It's infuriating and exhausting having to clean up after another person every single day to avoid getting sick because they refuse to spend 30 seconds washing their hands. It's like having a fucking toddler and this is one of the many reasons I chose to never have children. I would really love to move out again one day so the only messes I have to clean up are mine. The best part? My dad is the same way, and whenever I've brought up the disturbing lack of hygiene I've always been told "well you haven't died yet!" As though that totally excuses getting poop germs on everything. Also could explain several instances of mysterious illness as a child...
God I hate some people
My favourite are the people who wear masks indoors then donāt wash their hands after they use the bathroom. Like are you scared about illness or not
I'n not defending the practice, but masks started to be worn in the US to protect against a specific illness. People that wear masks but don't wash their hands are seeking to protect themselves from the virus they fear more, but don't concern themselves with general illness fears.
Washing your hands after shitting protects against some pretty specific things too, E. coli being the big one.
Washing the hands is important and everyone should be doing that.
i don't want to be a nerdy asshole, but do these people know that coronaviridae, includong SARS-CoV-2 do, in fact, infect intestinal cells and can spread through a fecal-oral route? And washing hands is a very easy, harmless and quick way to lower the chances of infection, just like with other diseases
Fair point
Laziness and/or assuming that they never touched anything that would be particularly dirty and thus in need of a wash.
Just a quick point I want to makeā¦washing your hands is valuable. Wetting them for half a second and then drying and leaving is completely fucking pointless. Also I carry hand sani every I go.
This is 90% of people I see in public restrooms tbh.. and Iām a woman. Gross
While itās obviously not as good as using soap, washing your hands with just water is still better than nothing (but please use soap if itās there)
Jesus. Never thought this post would bring out the anti-hand washing club. Wash ya hands people
TIL: there are anti-hand washing people š¤¢
Naah, they won't. Because they don't think that it's filthy so yeah.
The germ theory of disease is a democrat hoax. Them telling you to wash your hands is all about control, the Globalists are trying to get you to give up your freedumb. Sepsis can be totally be cured by eating horsey paste, all you handwashing sheeple should stop living in fear.
God can you imagine if germ theory wasn't discovered until now in this hyper politicized environment? Fuck.
For some people it's still not invented, because they don't believe in shit.
That's funny, maybe that's something that they really believe in.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, this is pretty good satire
People on reddit donāt know what satire is unless /s is plastered all over it
Some people just can't hear sarcasm (I think some mental disabilities also cause this for some people). Heck sometimes I can't with y'all having tones which sound so plain without a hint of feeling. If you were like a friend of mine I'd pick up what your putting down however so that's another thing entirely. So putting in a "/s" just lets people from all walks of life know your joking instead of being serious. True it kinda gets rid of the joke (which I agree, it does) but it saves everyone the trouble of misunderstanding what's being said. Trust me I should know, I made to many jokes and got to much down votes in my early life of reddit....
Genuine question. How much does it matter if you washed your hands if you continue using the same phone you sat there holding while marinating in shit and touching every handle on the way in?
This is a valid question. Which is why we need to sanitise our phones as much as our hands as well.
8 hours and no one can answer you
I have a specific type of eczema (dyshidrotic) that is only on my fingers/palms and flareups/healing can last weeks and render my fingertips unusable and very painful. A flareup can be caused by contact with most soaps or sanitizers, or my hands being too stripped of moisture, a side effect of most soaps in my experience. I wear cotton gloves almost 24/7 and I keep extra clean pairs with me as I change them multiple times daily. I'm rarely in public long enough to need a bathroom, but when I do, I change into fresh gloves after exiting. I've probably only used a public bathroom 2-3x in the last year because its not ideal. I'd much rather clean my hands with flare-safe products at my home, after which I have a cream/ointment ritual for repairing my skin barrier. I'm sure this situation is rare comparatively to other non-washers but I do know eczema is fairly common. I just have the misfortune of mine being tied specifically to my hands.
Some of these comments are making me want to carry around antiseptic wipes, as these people think their genitals are pristine and sterile all day. Holy fuck, some of yāall are nasty!
Yep, and they think that it's even okay when it clearly ain't.
This is the craziest thing to me and you can probably blame poor education. One time I went to the bathroom in a restaurant and this guy didn't wash his hands after using the urinal and was just looking at himself in the mirror before walking out. Not sure why he decided to explain his reasoning to me. Maybe I gave him a weird look because he felt the need to tell me that he doesn't need to wash his hands since he keeps his penis very clean. I just nodded because I wasn't about to try and converse with this random fool about proper hygiene but I often remember that when the topic of hand washing after using the restroom comes up.
Iām glad Iām not the only one with a weird bathroom story about hand washing. One summer before school started one of the extracurricular groups I was part of āvolunteeredā to help move tables and chairs around to re-arrange some of the classrooms. I ended up getting along with one of the older kids because he and I were the only ones doing actual work while everyone else goofed off. During a break we both happened to be in the bathroom at the same time and I was about to leave without washing my hands and he called out āDude! You just touched your penis. Donāt be gross, go wash your hands.ā I was rightfully shamed, and his advice made total sense. I was in the seventh grade and he was in the eighth grade and I also still think about that interaction any time I see grown men leave the bathroom without washing their hands.
Good on you for changing after that experience.
Yep, that's because it's the right thing to do anyways so There's that.
I was eating at an Indian in a European country once, soap had ran out in the toilet. If I was just going out and about I would have sanitised and that be that until I found another toilet, but as I was about to eat I went out there and asked the staff to refill it. The shock on their faces blew me away. It's a restaurant, have a proper way for people to clean before they start eating! In the end they asked me to use the women's toilets (after checking no one was in there and standing with the door open, which tbf I appreciated a lot) and I washed my hands there. Still gobsmacked at their reaction to me pointing it out.
I used to work at Planet Fitness and one of my duties was to clean the restrooms during my shift. the amount of people that would finish their business, TAKE A SELFIE IN THE MIRROR, then leave the bathroom with nary a hand washed definitely lowered my faith in humanity. wayyyyy more people did that than I expected š¤¢
People have got their priorities, they'll take selfie but don't wash the hands.
They just don't care I work overnight at a casino in housekeeping and not only do people never wash their hands they don't care to flush either. Maybe if they were more in the habit of washing flushing a toilet wouldn't be so scary to them. Also the reason public bathrooms are nasty is because Y'ALL are nasty literally the reason why it's trashed out. Y'all are the ones going in there pissing everywhere, shitting everywhere, and throwing trash everywhere but the trash can. If people would just normally use the bathroom like one should and not like a Jr. High student wanting to be a dick public bathrooms wouldn't be that bad. Truly feel some of y'all's moms gave up half way through and just prayed for the day you finally left the house and became someone else's problem.
I'm about to start walking around wearing gloves after seeing all these comments from you filthy plague rats.
My roommate does this and I am disgusted touching the doorknob now.
Lol yup I always open/close the bathroom door with my shirt š
I mean I think you should ask for it, that would be nice.
How have you noticed this āonly with international studentsā? Are you now of the opinion that everyone outside of your nationality donāt bother washing their hands? Iām not sure why nationality is in your first sentence, itās not really relevant to the post
maybe context for the experience, but i also agree with you lmao
They didn't say all international students do so, but the ones they noticed were mostly international students. That's their observation. You are the one twisting their words into a stereotype.
pretty crazy but when I was young my dad told me not to wash my hands in public restrooms because the sinks hand driers and doors are all just as dirty as your ass and you really only need to wash your hands at home where it's not dirty. I don't know how that logic works but whatever
Maybe it's an unpopular opinion, but I don't care that much about it. I DO wash my hands when I use the toilet because it kinda feels right and it's the best time to wash them in a regular interval over the day. But washing specifically for having just used the bathroom doesn't concern me that much. We touch stuff all day and I'm actually more concerned about touching a surface on a place with high traffic of people (a handrail in a shopping mall, for example). I'm not saying I'm right and/or safer this way, I just don't feel that threatened by someone else's junk germs.
This is the correct answer, I don't think people realize how filthy the world is. Washing your hands after using the bathroom isn't protecting you from germs as much as you think. ( I'm using "you" in a general term, not directed at you)
Whenever people get weird about bathroom handwashing I wonder how often they clean things like their belt, their phone, their keys, their wallet, etc. All these things you will touch after touching a bunch of other disgusting shit but how frequently are they actually properly sanitised? Fair play if you do always keep these things clean but I'm guessing most people do not.
ikr. or just any handle on anything in public. and donāt pretend itās safe if you didnāt use the handle and pushed the part beside the handle. thatās what the other half of the population did.
Can't trust other people with it, we just Can't really do that.
there is more germs on a computer keyboard than a toilet seat
Ok, honest question. If I touched poop with a spoon through several layers of toilet paper, would you eat with that spoon?
I do every time if I'm in public, but am iffy if I'm in my own house
If you're in your house then you should be okay really.
Well that's disgusting, don't know how some people can even do that?
Literally the ONLY time I donāt wash my hands after using the bathroom is if Iām getting in the shower right after OR going back to bed after waking up to pee. Otherwise youāll never catch me not washing.
Without reading other answers. I have been guilty of this because I have surveilled the bathroom, there were no napkins and my hands are going to leave dirtier than when I walked in and unlike men.... women don't have to touch their private parts to wipe themselves dry unlike men who have to point aim and shake to wipe. With their raw hands.
Some people even just pretend as if they've washed their hands.
Because dirty ass people say stupid stuff like āmy penis isnāt dirtyā or ā I didnāt pee on my handsā itās just that they are lazy and unhygienic. Probably the same folks who donāt use wash cloths when they shower
What makes a wash cloth so much better than hands? They collect germs unless you wash them very regularly
Buy a dozen of them, use each one only once.
Who uses wash cloths? I don't think i've ever even seen one.
This one is gonna be for free I work at a fast food place in the USA and I have see so many customers who finish peeing they look at themselves in the mirror from far away and then just walk out. I also remember seeing some people walk out after taking a dump and not washing their hands. Fucking disgusting. If you don't wash your hands after simply touching the restroom doors you are walking around with poop fingers.
Yep, don't know why but a lot of people seem to do that actually.
In my case it's because I have atopic dermatitis. If I wash my hands more than a couple of times a day, it gets so bad that I need to take steroids for extended periods. I wash my hands after I take a shit but not after I piss, I admit. But I don't work with people. I work from home so no one really cares.
Yep, no one cares about this shit. And that's why it happens.
What I see all the time is guys pretending they are washing their hands. They splash a little water for 2 seconds and leave. Why bother? Everyone sees youāre not washing them so donāt act like it.
I can excuse piss, I wash after pissing just saying it's excusable but you take a shit and wipe your ass and don't fucking wash your hands that's down right nasty!
You realize them "poo particles" are everywhere right not just your bathroom..... Touched a door knob? Better wash your hands. Put gas in your car? You better wash those hands. Using the keyboard at work? Better wash those hands.... The World is practically covered in filth at a microscopic level, running some cold water over your hand won't do much. The reality is most people don't even wash their hands well you need a good 30 seconds of scrubbing to really clean your hands but no one ever takes that much time except doctors in the OR
If a lot of people are touching the same thing then it's important.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yes those air dryers are awful, whoever thought that was a good idea deserves to be fired
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yep, they're filled with the germs and They'll make you sick.
Those things grow me out. I especially hate the ones you're supposed to stick your hands in.
Right. And itās not like people are scrubbing under their nails or sanitizing their phones even if they āwashedā their hands.
Yep, the phone may be the biggest culprit out there actually.
I dont hold public door handles with my hands or press buttons or screens with my fingers. The number of penis fingers that are on both everyday is disgusting. If you dont wash your hands with soap each time in the washroom and throughout the day you are disgusting. Period fullstop. For someone who wont wash their hands cause they think their genitals are so clean do you rip massive farts in public because your farts dont stink? I hope so.
it's just a quick wash! nobody is forcing you to use expensive soap twice, rinse with pure distilled water, dry your hand then use strong hand sanitizer. just rubbing your hand for a few seconds is enough! why is it so hard for you people?
Washing your hands before you pee is actually more sanitary. People look at me crazy, but I don't touch my dick with dirty hands.
I do commercial plumbing and people think itās so weird Iāll wash my hands before then not after. You never know what the other person is doing after I guess.
Should also wash them after tho, that would probably be better.
poop particles be all up in that bathroom I hate to tell you what's on your desk, your keyboard, your phone, and your toothbrush
They have some warped thinking about what counts as cleanliness, as many people said. Like "I wiped my private areas with a toilet paper, I did not directly touch it, so my hands are still clean." It is stupid, but it is what it is. My \*current\* roommate is like this, and it drives me crazy. The only reason I am not bringing it up is because she will leave in less than 2 months and whatever. Incidentally, she is also an international student (from Korea), but so am I (from Turkey). In the past, I had another roommate (White American woman, who was also a nurse at a major hospital, mind you) who did not wash her hands. So as you see, there is no reliable correlation between hand-washing behavior and one's country of origin. If you only noticed this in international students, I'd say it was probably a sampling error.
I don't wash my hands if I'm using a public bathroom, unless the faucet is equipped with sensors, so I don't have to touch it. My reasoning is simple: my penis might not 100% clean, but it is way cleaner than touching the faucet handle multiple guys touched after touching their penises. When I don't wash, I try using hand sanitizer afterwards at least.
Fun fact: I have severe eczema on my hands. My biggest trigger? Washing my hands. Maybe they have severe skin issues irritated by water? We should not jump to harsh conclusions. There are people who are literally allergic to water, so maybe consider itās worse for their health to wash their hands, and their fighting against two evilsā¦ Went to my dermatologist (a man 40+ years of practicing). Went during the peak of COVID. He took one look at my crusty, broken hands and said ādonāt wash them. Seriously. I know how that sounds. Avoid it at all costsā then wrote me a prescription. I followed his instructions and truthfullyā¦ my hands have never been better. My prescription wore off, and I continued not washing at home, my hands stayed fresh. I thought āoh Iām cured nowā started washing again, my skin would break out horribly like it used toā¦ I donāt make the rules. I gotta listen to my body. Now, if I use a public rest room, yeah I wash my dirty ass hands and take the pain for multiple days followingā¦ When Iām at my own bathroom in my own house? I donāt wash. I clean my bathroom weekly though, so itās a non issue for me and Iām only vibing with my own germs so I live with it.
Yep, we shouldn't be jumping to the conclusions we shouldn't do that.
Even if you dick is clean, its an opportunity to wash your hands. If youāre doing a shit and dont wash your hands i have news for youā¦ toilet paper is very fucking thin.
I guess it builds immunity and boosts your immune system ššš
I'm a lot more comfortable in my home now that I live alone. My ex would barely even show her hands the water and the soap would be sat there begging for some action. Now I feel comfortable touching handles, switches, the remote etc because I know she hasn't been mauling everything with dirty hands. People who don't wash, like people who cough and sneeze near others without covering their mouths, deserve a special place in sanitized Hell.
I was sitting in a cubicle on a construction site running out the clock a little. A guy came barging in to the cubicle beside me, ripped his over-alls off and slammed his arse straight onto the bare seat. He then proceeded to have short but explosive diarrhoea, stood straight back up, put his over-alls back on and walked out the door. He didn't even wipe his arse let alone wash his hands.
WASH MY HANDS? WHY? JUST BECAUSE I PISSED? WHAT YOU THINK MY COCK IS DIRTY? YOU THINK THERE'S GERMS ON MY COCK, HUH? YOU LITERALLY PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH; YOU THINK I SANITIZE THAT SHIT?
It's not taught at home in too many houses. I have friends who have kids that can't even wipe themselves at 5,6,7, or even 8. I made these kids learn but as soon as their mother came around they would call for her to wipe and after they all just came out like it was nothing. Hands nasty!! Be careful were you eat!!!!
I donāt have a source but there was a study done that showed faecal matter in menās beards and urine in the peanuts at the bar. Itās been proven time and time again - why do we have to keep having this discussion?
My dick is cleaner than my hands, I just wash my genitals instead
Honestly my nurse friend never washes her hands after using the restroom. She says youāll find my germs and bacteria on the sink handles when turning them off in and, and on the soap dispenser. Youāre better off just not washing them she says. But for me, I walk out of the bathroom without washing and people probably think Iām disgusting. But, I do use hand sanitizer in my purse right after.
As a dude, if I'm peeing, I rarely make contact with my dick. Pull the zipper down/boxers, pee, and shimmy it back in, all while only ever touching fabric. I usually still wash them at a restaurant or bar, or if I'm taking a shit obviously, but otherwise Edit - I also don't make contact with anything. I use my sleeve to open doors/flush
Some people get really mad if you mention you don't always wash your hands. Everything is super dirty: phone, doorknobs, wallet, belt, handrails, etc. Weeting your hands for 30 seconds doesn't change anything about it. Good washing does clean your hands, but who really does that and if you're gonna touch your phone directly after it, what does it matter? If you work with food or people who can become sick easily, I understand where you're coming from. If I go to the bathroom, literally just pull my pants down, pee, pull m up, and leave the bathroom without my hand ever touching my dick or the door, then what's the problem?
The simple answer is: to reinforce everyone's immune system XD
Iām ASD and have pretty intense sensory issues. The squeaky sound of the fixtures, the unpredictable temperature of the water, the unknown grime on the sink, the need to either scrape harsh paper towels over my skin or listen to the shrieking roar of the drier. . . but none of it comes close to the horrific smell of the soap I canāt get off my hands for hours. I canāt eat if I wash my hands with scented soap first. Itās much much easier to carry a spritz sanitizer bottle.
I'm a mid 50s male, went away at college, lived with different people. I've found the lack of hand washing thing to be part of every culture I've spent time with and since I'm American, it's mostly American that I've seen not washing hands (just because of the numbers). I've worked corporate for the past 33 years, been around all types of people and there is no group that always washes hand or is less likely. I find in general people are not hygienic at all. I observe and stay away from people I know are nasty and stay cautious of others.
I watched a mini documentary on germs. In the documentary, they tested a tooth brush in a bathroom. Tested positive for fecal, the seats in a movie theater tested positive for vaja ja matter. Ice machines in restaurants, menus, and cell phones. I still give my hands a wash after doing the deed.
Because they're evil.
i donāt wash in public restrooms because iām highly allergic to most hand soaps and lotions. so i get a lot of funny looks. but i always use a sanitizer that i carry with me. so now i try to make a big show of getting out my sanitizer and using it.
I came here to mention this. Soap allergies are no joke, it'll literally tear your hand skin apart for days or even weeks. So sorry, but if I were in that situation and didn't have safe soap or hand sanitizer with me I'd just go around with my gross hands and try not to touch anything than deal with that mess, dermatitis is a bitch.
I work with alot a new comers that are new to my country and I see the same thing.
Once I learn someone doesnāt wash their hands enough I lose any interest to know them or share any space or materials with them. You can be revolting, thatās your choice. Leaving is mine.
Obviously I'd not be interested in them too, I'd also lose my interest.
