1/4 Of Men Don't Wash Their Hands After Using The Bathroom
 
:shocked:

Just heard this on Channel 2 news. A national handwashing survey was conducted. :p

So! Do you wash your filthy little mitts after using the Powder Room?

:shrug:

Yeah, I knew that. Whatev. Soo...does that mean in their house, or out in public?
For Me:
Leaving, or out of, the house - yes (duh!)
Until I'm leaving the house - not so much (unless someone is in my house, then of course!)
Non Pee - always.

also, I would like to add, that I don't think it's as gross if the men just pee, then don't wash, as it is for girls. Other than pee, everyone should wash. :)

It's just a good habit to have.

Actual effect is probably more placebo-ish than anything, but because I'm trained to do it, I never leave the bathroom without having washed my hands, and those who don't really gross me out. :sorry: (..Especially when they go straight on to preparing my dinner :shocked: )

Ewww. Have to disagree. :lol: We use tissues to "dry off". I don't know about you, but my hand doesn't come in direct contact with my heynonnynonny. :thumbsup: Men "shake it" and they have to hold it to do that. Who knows where that thing WAS prior to the pee!? Oook! LOL!!! :wavey:

estranged4life 09-21-2005 11:06 PM

I wash my hands...
 
each and every time I use the restroom...Just a habit I always had.

Meh. I guess that's true, but it seems all "dry" to me. Whereas, I wipe twice and three times. :laugh: (TMI)
But, I shouldn't really be in this convo, I'm the least grossed out, clean ledgie, ever.

*seriously, make a poll, and ask people "who seems like the least grossed out ledgie?"
Betcha I would win.*
Though, I hate snot and spit, really bad....in an every day context...
I'm not dirty, I just think there are some especially OCD kids on here.... :shrug: :laugh: (Hi, Diss! :wavey: :xoxo: )

I can't watch people drink milk, either...and has anyone else ever seen "milk strings"? In someone's mouth? So.Gross.
Sex things rarely, if ever, bother me, though. I'm more worried if you came from Vietnam and recently ate a chicken infected with...SRI - 5, or whatev. (Just watched scary program on PBS last night - it's like - super Influenza :eek: Like, you're dead in five days, your whole lungs are taken over)

irishgrl 09-21-2005 11:13 PM

OK, I'll be honest here: out in public or at work ABSOLUTELY. EVERY TIME.
at home: no way, its just me after all.....well, me and a 5yr old boy....
but the only thing Im picky about is that he raises the seat and lowers it.
nothing nastier than sitting on someone elses pee...
but I do it at anyone elses house and I do it out in public everywhere.
AND: I wash my hands before touching food which I think is the biggie.
plus I keep my kitchen clean, I clean with bleach regularly....all thru the house

having said that, I know of one gal at work who DOESNT wash and I find I am disgusted.....

Unless it's been on or in The Road Less Travelled. Then not only is the thing not washed recently, you've got that lingering afterglow of shmutz on it. Also WAY TMI!!!! :laugh:

How about a poll on how many men dribble on the floor?! URP!! :mad: :mad:

We were standing in the unisex Only-bathroom-open-at-the-time Pee-line before the Santana concert, when it came to be my turn (after 3 men in a row) I walked in to find not only the toliet seat up, but I was about to go wading in a pool of pee. So I grabbed a mound of toliet seat covers, threw them on the floor on top of the pool of pee, then grabbed an extra two or three so I could push the toliet seat down. It went crashing down on the pot with a loud KER-BANG! My friends told me afterwards they heard it "Loud and Clear" and knew they were in for trouble going in. It was NAST-EYE!! The smell was enough to gag 5,000 maggots.

Anyone in the middle of dinner? hehe :lol:

That is such a low estimate. Double it.

In public restrooms with volume - a concert hall, amusement park, etc. only about 25% WASH their hands. Take it from Sparky. I have seen it.

dissention 09-22-2005 12:19 AM

There's a reason why I rarely shake hands (and rush to a bottle of Purell when I do). ;)

I pity the fools who eat the pretzels and nuts at bars, too. If they only knew what they were ingesting. Poor schlubs. The real nasty little porkers are the ones who use public restrooms and don't wash their hands. I've been at movie theaters and, when I'm forced to use the john, there's always some random cootie-carrying schmuck who shakes his dick around like it's goddamned sparkler on the 4th of July and then waltzes out while rubbing his hands on his Levis that are two sizes too small for his overweight ass. Makes me think twice about buying popcorn, I could very well be eating some employees dried piss spores.

Reminds me of the PortOSan at the SYW concert I went to!! :p My friend and I HAD to go. And there was no TP and obviously no hand washing facilities. So when we sat down at the concert I offered a piece of gum. And of course we shoved it in, and chomped it. Then we went........ :eek: :shocked: :eek: :shocked:.....WE DIDN'T WASH OUR HANDS AFTER THE UH....BATHROOM!!!" LOL!! Happy to report all was well. Except every now and again, I do this------------> :blob2:

Shudder at the thought...

I wash my hands as soon as I get home, everyday - and every single solitary time I use the washroom (with soap - and if there isn't soap in a public washroom - God forbid!! I'm totally grossed out). I'm totally with takenbythesky - middle of the night, on my way into the shower, every single time.

Oh. But I'm a girl. Was this meant only for the boys?
