washing your hands after going to the toilet

coolhandc

i was in a bar in dublin over the weekend and i saw alot of guys not wash his hands after using the urinal.after telling one of my friends when i got back they said he doesnt either and started defending it.
i think its disgusting people not washing their hands after doing the business,is it so hard to go over to the tap,throw some soap on and wash your hands?!
thoughts?!

My cock is nice and clean.

I only wash my hands after a dump.

geuro

after a wizz, usually a quick splash. if there is a 'toilet attendant' i will normally just walk out and not bother with washing. God damn it i hate those toilet attendants. Give me the guilts when i go to the jacks. a good wash after a dump of course

Personally I think everyone should wash their hands after going to the bathroom.

Not sure if it's worse but I've seen a lot of women walk out of the stall - check their hair/whatever &just walk out...*without* washing hands!!

so gross!!

smashey

I was taught not to piss on my hands.

There should be a wash basin outside the bathroom. The actual filth that you'd pick up from the door handle on the way out is disgraceful.

And on a personal note, I'd be more worried about washing my hands after shaking a strangers hand than I would about washing after using the toilet.

Very valid point

It's probably just as important to wash your hands before you use the toilet as it is afterwards

Yes, some women do it too, but it's mostly guys - don't know why, are they just lazy? Just the action of touching anything in a public toilet warrants washing hands. It's disgusting.

I only use soap after taking a dump.

A splash of water will suffice for a whizz.

Totally agree - in fact, probably more important.

I should have been more clear. I do wash my hands after, I would just worry about the actual point of washing once I touch the door handle.

Thought we were supposed to use the string and the spoon to deal with it?:D


Hate it when people don't wash after using the loo, as that then means that the germs are on the door handles and so you may as well not have washed since to get out of the bathroom you have to get germs on your hands all over again.
Statistically I'd say guys are worse for it but I have heard from a number of girls that quite a few girls don't wash their hands after using the loo either.

It's gross. It only takes a minute - people please wash your hands.

I'll be thinking twice about shaking hands with people from now on....

EDIT: Or maybe I should just ask them whether they've washed their hands since going to the toilet before I let them touch me?

I'm with FB, my knob is clean so i dont need to wash my hands. In fact i should start washing my hands before taking a piss.

Excellent point.

I usually try to open the door with either my foot or just one finger near the bottom of the handle when exiting the toilets.

Also when I used to work as a bouncer I used to almost never shake someone's hands as I didn't know where they'd been. Actually more colds and flu's are spread like that than anything else.

Urine is sterile when it leaves your body.

However, I still wash my hands afterwards.

yes thats sensible. If you take a bit of care at the trough there should be no problem.Its these guys who point her directly at the wall and unload at full throttle who need to wash, as there is a cloud of splashback mist(check your trousers).

Pointing at at least 30degrees and keeping the flow off the backwall, as it were, and well modulated should avoid any adverse hygiene issues.

Commom piss sense to meh.

I'm somewhat similar -- try to use least means possible of touching the door on exit.

I wait until someone else comes into the jacks until I go out, and I use my shoulder to hold the door open.

It's usually no more than a five minute wait.

Sinfonia

I wash before, and usually after, too - teh hands are dirtier than teh cock!

And I try to avoid the door handles on the way out...

But it's heaven for bacteria.

To all the people who defend not washing their hands - are you happy to have food prepared by staff who don't wash their hands? Or would you eat from that bowl of free nuts on the bar knowing that the last guy didn't wash his hands either?

But parts of your anatomy that are kept in the dark via clothing and possibly damp through sweat, urine or other fluids are not necessarily sterile, in fact probably far from it.
And that's not even going into those who are using the loo for a BM and not washing afterwards (we'll hope they did at least wipe).

Have you carried out a survey? Do you spend time in both mens bathrooms and womens bathrooms?

mise_me_fein

Everyone should wash their hands. I mean anyone that doesn't well, they're just taking the p!ss.


I'd say a decent amount of men don't wash. Dunno why not though.

Ditto, and I always have a small pack of wipes nearby (normally in the car).

I think we all may be using the one finger approach on the bottom of the door handle, but at least we know the people that do that wash their hands so its ok

2 stroke

Wash or not wash? depends on which is cleaner, the facilities or my nob.

Dragan

Every night i go out i see dudes not washing there hands.

Kind of disgusting to be honest folks. It only takes two seconds.

And for those of us that DO was our hands, it's only polite as we do need to touch the door handle to leave the jacks just like you do.....god bless pubs with the door left open.

duffman90210

Nah, after using the urinals in a bar or pub, I'd usually leave without washing my hands, purely because I hate having to guiltily search for coins in my pocket to pay somebody who handed me a minimal amount of toilet roll to dry my hands. After a dump though, it's only right to wash your hands, even if it does mean forking over 50cent for a bit of toilet roll. The more you drink however, the less you'll try and find a coin!!

Exactly. The odd time I'd wash the hands after a slash, if I was going to be eating for example.

See below re: money. As for the nuts Q.....never been in a pub that gives out free nuts.

re: your 1st point.......The actual filth you'd pick up off other more common items is twice as disgusting. I'd be willing to bet that the average €5 note is dirtier than the average men's room door handle. In fact, I'd say there's blood on an awful lot of bank-notes, and lots of people, when counting money, lick their thumb before counting it (á lá turning a page in a book).

Your 2nd point is spot on though.

Actually, when there's no-one else in the jax, I usually wipe my knob on that part of the handle, just to sabotage (sp?) paronoid fear-merchants like yourself.

not washing your hands is filthy. Personally I think less of people that dont - kinda like throwing litter - poor personal standards.

star-pants

Really you can look at almost everything in that light of 'who last touched this?'
such as phones / doors / keyboards / poles on buses or luas / (you mentioned money) / things in shops / food items...

you can just wash you hands regularly and wash things in your vacinity (Such as your keyboard & phone & food before eating) and then hope for the best with the rest.

yup i handle a lot of paper money and its gross

Always wash them, think it's disgusting not too.

Not washing your hands is bad enough, but what really pisses me off (excuse the pun) are people who have a dump in a pub/club toilet, and then just leave the cubicle with out flushing the jacks ??
Where the f*ck were they dragged up ?? Or do they need their Mother with them to wipe their arse as well ???

Going into a pub jacks cubicle, to be greeted by someone elses sh*te staring up at you from the bowl, is vomit inducing to say the least :mad:

bowsie casey

I wash my hands in pubs etc, places where strangers are using facilities. At home, I mostly don't after a #1, mostly do after a #2.

I guess it depends on whether I feel the facilities / doorknobs etc are clean. At home I know they are so no big deal.

Nothing like a slash in the field on the way home from the pub (fondly known as the Pit Stop). Whip it back in the pants, wipe the hands on the arse of your jeans and off you go.... no bloody baby wipes or soap needed ! Admittedly, a bit unfortunate if you haven't finished your bag of chips. But hey....you won't die from it !

But only if it's clear. If it's not clear, it's not sterile.

Oh, and from working in the cinema, pub, etc, I've found that the people who don't flush, don't wash their hands either.

As for the blacks in the jacks, I'd say they'd wash the coins they'd get:D

Jaysus, never thought of that...those coins would be fair mucky alright...New resolution: to reduce chance of passing on pissy coins, do not tip man in jax ever again (OK I only did once when I was really drunk)

Although to be honest, anybody working on a till, constantly handling coins would want to wash their hands pretty regularly. Never know whose hands they been through, and where those hand have been...

Jesus Wept

Stickin your hands under the tap for 2 seconds and walking off isn't washing your hands either.

The amount of people who actually wash their hands is incredibly low.

ugh this happened in work the other day... into the cubicle and theres this log bobbing about worst thing was it didnt flush away when I went to leave, and there was someone waiting outside to use the toilet when I was leaving - leaving me to look like an asshole! :mad:

FlutterinBantam

Anthropologically speaking, leaving a thick set of links reposing in the bottom of the pot and not flushing is a throwback from our animal instincts where the male ,say, Tiger, drops a load around his territory,the idea being that an incoming male would happen on this log cabin and go" Meeeeaooow ..better not mess with the cat who dropped THAT heavy load,must be one big mean feline!!!"

So its all in the genes I say.

Soap + warm to hot water... yup yup

And yes I agree with the money thing - any retail place I worked I always scrubbed my hands because they got gross!

Yep, always give them a wash.
