How many of you really wash your hands after using the restroom?
be honest! Research says most people do not wash their hands! I say we take up bowing like the Japanese.
|
I dont piss on my hands so I dont wash them.............
j/k seriously, I wash before taking a piss |
I alway do in public places, I even open the door with my foot when I leave the restroom
|
of course... unless i'm peeing outdoors....
|
Here we go again. I've seen this same thread a hundred times, let's commence with the "I don't piss on my hands so no need to wash them" bullshit. Lazy bastards.
People, just wash your fucking hands, it's the right thing to do and it takes all of 20 seconds. Not only does it reduce your chance of getting colds and flus but it helps prevent the spread of germs and disease. If you don't know that or refuse to believe me go ask a nurse or your doctor. |

And don't say you always wash, if you just run your hands under water...that's not washing. You have to use soap and scrub.:disgust |
I usually wash it before peeing...it's clean in there...at least cleaner than my hands....

There was an article I read about a public restroom that had a sign saying that was the only sanitary way to exit but I guess you could follow someone out the door too without having to touch the door. |
Always wash my hands after going to the bathroom. If I see someone else walking out without washing I say to them most of the time too. Its always funny.
But seriously its really disgusting not to wash your hands. It takes 5 seconds. |
i wash my hands but ive noticed alot of peeps at gyms dont wash their hands ...they just walk

As far as public restrooms, if they don't have paper towels so I an use them to open the door with, I wait for someone else to open the door, then I go out. When I play poker live, I have my "poker purse." It is filled with vitamins, throat lozenges etc. But more importantly, handi-whipes and hand sanitizer...LOL. I am the moderator of a local poker discussion group that meets every week, and every Wednesday when I show up, I grab like 1/2 a dozen towlettes from the cashiers cage and clean my hands for like 2 straight hours...LOL. The problem with a lot of poker players is that they don't wash their hands. Bunch of degenerate bums in the poker rooms. I'll see them come out of stalls after taking a dump, and go straight back to the tables and then start handling chips. If you're old, and prone to illness, stay the fuck out of casinos. They are just a huge incubator for germs. |

<tangent warning> Seems all my life, all the germ freaks I have ever known have been the same people that catch everything under the sun. Why? I think its because they have no protection...and they take too many antibiotics...they essentially kill too many germs. To this day, I don't care if I am around someone that is sick. I grew up the kind of guy that would go over to a sick friends home and help them out, I rarely ever got sick from it. I think a lot of its a mentality. I tend to not believe I will get sick, so that helps a lot. My only issue is getting coughs. I hate coughs, but that isn't really something you catch as much as it is something you develop from another variable. |
so you want to shake hands?
go ahead, I always wipe with the right hand. its safe. well sorta. |

People that never or rarely wash their hands infect all sorts of things, door handles, salt/pepper shakers, other people's hands during a handshake, even themselves when they happen to rub their eye with their dirty fingers. A lot of people cough into their hands, a couple of handwashings during the day wouldn't kill them. NOT washing them might, or might kill someone else though. I see your point about building up a tolerance, but it doesn't have to (and shouldn't) include the hands. |
At least this gives you an idea of who's hands to shake at the conventions.

I've walked into restrooms where, undoubtedly, the cleanest thing in that place was my penis. For those, I'll generally skip the hand-washing, and if my woman's about, get her hand sanitizer off her at some point in the immediate future. Otherwise, I'll wash and keep the paper towel in my hand until I've finished propping the door with my foot for a ball-and-toss into the trash bin. All sorts of shit growing on your hands... no sense giving them more help than they have already. |
I'm a hand washer. I taunt the shit out of people I notice not doing it also.
|
I always wash my hands no matter what, i am not a total germ freak but i am def. someone that has to look and feel clean at all times and this involves washing my hands.
|
I only wash my hands if my finger pokes through while wiping due to shitty toilet paper.

Sanitizers are for health care workers, not for the general public. I am willing to bet if you ask your DR, he would agree (not that you don't). I just went in to the DR for a rib injury. He noticed I had a slight cold. He asked if I wanted antibiotics. When I said no, he replied with "good call." I also think the pure level of stress some people have these days over door-knobs, hand shakes and planes is enough to amount to sickness as well. Stress tends to shake up the immune system. We have people at our office that apply hand sanitizer all day. They take off the most time from work due to being sick every year. I wash my hands, with soap, after the bathroom, before I eat, if I touch something questionable. I grew up in a normal family with a mother that would say, "time for dinner, kids, wash your hands." I didn't grow up in a family where I wasn't allowed to play on the monkey bars because I would catch a cold. I didn't grow up living in fear of touching a door-knob. I don't get sick that often at all. I get what you are saying about your hands, and I agree. My point is more based around the whole movement to kill off germs nine-hundred times a day. Look at the history of Penicillin and look at the light it was cast in some 40 years ago. Now look. : ) Anyways, good topic. |

minuseonebit, you are exactly the type that is part of the problem. Too lazy to take 10 seconds to pump some soap and scrub your hands under some warm water after wiping your dirty ass. UNreal. |

Conversely though, it always baffles me on these kinds of threads when people actually argue against handwashing, and attempt to justify why they don't do it. It's scary. And people wonder why there's so many people walking around sick all the time. Another pet peeve of mine is people who go to work sick. You've got a raging cold or some sort of infectious flu that has you coughing up phlegm, sneezing your snot into the air, wiping your nose and about to infect everyone else at your workplace... stay the fuck home! Take the time to fight it off and THEN come back to work, idiot! And remember to wash your hands! There, I said it. |
I wash my hands every time :thumbsup

-Some people work hourly jobs. -Discomfort in calling in sick. -Buried with an agenda. When I worked as a support person 5 years ago for another company, I have to admit that I felt discomfort in calling in sick. I felt that they assumed I just wanted the day off. I was most likely correct on this. When I worked as a waiter, it was even worse (think about that). I mean, if I called in sick to the West Hollywood club, they would have said, "fuck you," in no uncertain terms. Think about that : ) I worked so many shifts with a fever and flu. I also grew up in an environment whereas I had a dad that was a "no excuses" kind of guy. If I broke a bone, he would set it. If I got sick, I battled through it. I was a southern boy. That said, I have changed my ways and now realize that when I feel something coming on, I need to stay home. The real problem is that people are most contagious the day of onset, often times people don't realize they are sick. When you are actually sick, you usually aren't contagious anymore. |
I don't usually. Most public washrooms aren't clean enough for me to want to touch anything... Plus, my dick is just as clean as the rest of me, if not cleaner. I'm not in the habit of pissing my hands, so I'm likely to pick up more germs holding a bottle of beer than my penis. Hell, I should probably start washing my hands before I piss.

Although I too in the past have gone to work on certain jobs while feeling under the weather. I can relate to what you said. I've even had the odd boss who came around and saw what condition I was in and sent me home. Too bad more bosses don't clue in and do the same rather than putting the screws to their employees to "be here at all costs", it would certainly cut down on the spreading of illness. I mean really, is it better to have one worker out sick or make him come to work and next week you've got the entire fucking office decimated? The more sensible company policy would be that when an emloyee is sick they stay home until they won't infect everyone else, period. |
Always..

I wash... and hate to shake hands with anyone
Damn Germans always want to shake your hand. I ask if they washed their hand after picking their ass or nose - which ever. They don't off their hand after that. |
