I always wash my hands- especially in public bathrooms- to protect myself as much as to protect others. I even use my shirt sleeve to open and close the door if it's one I can't shove open with my foot or elbow. Call me germophile, but I think it all started in a pscyh class in which the prof informed us about the germ factor in public bathrooms. He even pointed out that when you flush a public toilet- especially one that doesn't have a full lid, the flushing action atomizes the germs with water vapor into the air. I often hold my breath and squint (eyes are a mucous membranes) after flushing and then get the heck out of there!
And I always keep my fingers out of my eyes, nose and mouth!
What, me a germophile?
(And, no, DS, I would only do that if I had enough alcohol in my piss to pickle a frog!)
are you ok thoughts arrive? You seem in a very angry mood this evening...
I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!

True, I haven't taken into account how nasty public restrooms are.
I won't even flush the toilets with my hand. I use my foot.
I have recently been working at an abatior installing Dyson blade hand dryers, Wednesday I spent the whole day in the men's toilet bloke and let me tell u what a disgusting thing human beings are, half of the men didn't wash there hands after a wee or a poo. And they were all Asian, Indian, Arab, makes me realLy wanna eat meat. And the storys the cleaned told me would make u puke.
Whatever did humans do before the advent of plumbing.. How did we survive!
We didn't really. When handwashing was discovered as a good thing, the life expectancy was probably 40 years, tops. Flu outbreaks, cholera, plague, etc. Here's a history timeline:
This is gross but true and one of the many reason hands need to be washed,not to an OCD level but certainly after using the toilet and before food.
I was in a cafe,the waitress was handling/serving all sorts of food.I went to the bathroom and she was in there,she bought a tampon from the dispenser and went into the toilet,she came out having, I assume used the tampon,she checked her hair and makeup but left without washing her hands
“There should be a place where only the things you want to happen, happen”
If you don't get pee on your hands, touching your penis is no different than any other part of your body.. That said, piss is sterile.
I'm no germaphobe but I know damn well that when my balls/dick are sweaty and wreak of dirty vinegar, that shit aint as clean as lets say, my elbow.
that said, I wash my hands every time Im done in the bathroom. But I really dont care if a guy doesn't. I dont find it gross. If people in the 1800's survived off of bathing in dirty water, then I'm sure a "dirty" hand isnt going to kill us.
will be good if at public toilets had that Antiseptic bottles they use to have at hospitals..

I wash my hands in the shower in the morning. That is about it. I teach school and I am around snotty, nasty kids all day. I live on a farm which involves many outside "chores" that sometimes leave me a little less than clean. I also often backpack for extended periods of time which requires me to go without a shower, much less washing my hands with soap. How many times a year do I get sick? Zero. Last time I went to the doctor for being sick? Can't even remember. I think I was like 19 or something and my mom was making me wash my hands after I went to the loo.
I think it's gross when people don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom!
When I'm working I wash my hands quite frequently throughout the day, as I work with young children. Not only to follow the workplace policies, but also to protect my own health. I'm exposed to all sorts of illnesses and I don't have paid sick leave, so if I get sick then it costs me $. Then I also risk bringing home illnesses to share with my family.
I don't use hand sanitiser, but I do use soap and water.

I'm with you. It is not radical science that washing your hands helps prevent spread of illness. If hand washing wasn't a good idea, why do doctors do it before surgery and between visiting patients?

Yeah, that one too!
Say, how did we get on to this subject anyway? What's next? An ontological discussion of anal retention?

My tips: wash you hands BEFORE picking your nose, rubbing your eyes, and sucking your fingers. If you do that, you're free to touch away..
Another habit says its long overdue
Another habit like an unwanted friend
I'm so happy with my righteous self
