Do you wash your hands after the loo?

Duggy747

I think most of us are guilty for not cleansing the paws after unloading some waste? Though, it is a bit nasty when someone drops the kids off at the pool and then proceeds to pick their fingernails with their teeth!?!

I mostly try to use the sink afterwards............mostly.

Midnight_EG

Why mostly? Do you usually wash your hands in the toilet?

jd007

WTF??:eek:

Christ there been some strange threads on here today..

Ronan Keating

You'd be inclined to wash them after a poo. The poo might get on your hands and under your nails.

With a pee it is not necessary for a man to wash his hands. All he does is hold the shaft in place or if he is hardened then he doesn't need to hold it.

So you wouldn't be washing them after a pee, only after a poo - if necessary.

OutlawPete

Why did you assume people's attitudes in the Poll?

To be fair, we should be washing our hands before we take a piss.. My willy is cleaner than most things I'd touch during the day.

Ewwwww!!
Yes I wash my hands all the freakin time.

SadieSue

Yes of course.. its manky otherwise.

alwaysadub

Ill much? Course i wash my hands after the loo,it only takes two seconds. Remind me never to go to your house if your making a meal..

Ronan Keating

Wimmin' would be doing the washin' after the wipeover. The woman can end up getting poo on their hands after a pee. Men can't.

Tar.Aldarion

No, unless I feel my hands are dirty... why, do people piss on their hands? Why do you clean them?

I would wash my hands fairly regualarly, but for example, if you have showered and cleansed well, and minutes later you take a leak, what
exactly is dirty when you finish? Assuming you ain't pissing on your hand, what is dirty? All you have done is
touch the skin on your organ, the skin, which is fairly clean

Now, taking a dump would require cleaning the hands moreso.
But, a leak is just a leak, and providing you don't piss on
your hands, then is it ALWAYS necessary to wash the hands?

Mrmoe

If it is a communal bathroom the chances are there are faeces/aerosols everywhere. So someone who doesn't do it usually fecks it up for the rest. The majority of the time it probably will be ok but there will always be a chance of infection.

ddef

A simple 'Yes' or 'No' poll would have sufficed.

Duggy747

Ha ha.........I'm not using me as a bloody example, I always wash my hands (Put hands in toilet and flush :pac:)

I find it pretty manky when in the nite-club you see fellas just leave without washing their hands. Probably got more to do with not getting snagged by the guy at the door trying to spray you and give you chewing gum.....

REXER

This reminds me of the Air Force v Army debate.

When the Air Force officer was in at the urinal he did his thing and then washed and dried his hand whilst noticing an Army NCO that had his pee, buttoned up and was leaving the loo.
Unable to resist he said in a haughty voice "in the Air Force we are trained to wash and dry our hands after we have urinated!" The Army NCO responded with "in the Army they train us not to piss on our hands" and left. An oldy but a goody.

Washing your hands after using the loo is the natural reaction for millions . Unless you have an opposite form of ocd the question is slightly noorotic , null and void .

What if you don't get any shít on your hands after taking a shít? You don't need to wash the hands then.

Ah yeah, but the very nature and aspect of wiping an arse leaves you open to more. Molecules and all that. It's little more risky... I would air on the side
of caution mate, and give a rinse/wash...

No I wash my hands before the loo, I'm not a gentlemen!

Well if she'd lick the anus I don't see her having any problem with a few dodgy fingers. :>

Yes, every time. Unless I'm out in the country in the middle of nowhere and it's been dry and there aren't any decent puddles around.

racso1975

if it's that cheap ass toilet paper that rips and ends up with your fingers covered in crap............then possibly

Pompey Magnus

Yeah I do of course. Reminds me tough a couple of days ago I was in a pub toilet and a little Japanese fella came in and washed his hands before using the urinal. Odd that.

Ronan Keating

In public you wash your hands before the toilet for one simplistic reason. Man does not want to catch the diseases of the uncleaned which would be found on door handles etc.

He would not want to have his foreskin ravaged by little specimens of disease thus washes before and after and as soon as he gets to a safe sink - the clean one at his house which carries his germs.

caseyann

Wash before and after

firstly - :eek:

secondly, kinda a good point.

thirdly - "i don't wanna do that!" (this only applies to avid satc watchers..)

eman66

Well, there's a sign on the back of the cubicle door saying "Please wash your hands. Advice Line: 1890 336677". Suppose I'll have to start wiping my arse when the "Please wipe you arse" sign goes up.

I'd always wash hands after a leak and after I've flushed the jax.
BTW, if a person is healthy, fresh urine is harmless and (I could be wrong on this bit) sterile.

Dave!

As a rule, I never wash my hands, ever.

Son Of A Vidic

I am not anal by nature, but this is one thing I am anal about......forgive the pun.

Mint Sauce

urine is sterile when it leaves your body, so you could argue theres no need to wash your hands even if you do pee on them

still wash em my self though

neil_18_

Ye of course..... Not even just for my own sake, but for the sake of the people im with whos belongings i might touch lol...

A worker in my college didn't wash his hands after a píss the other day, and i had to open the door after he had covered the handle in píss:eek::(

Hank_Jones

I sometimes wash my hands a few times after going to the bathroom.
Honestly can't remember the last time I didn't wash my hands after using the toilet.

Ronan Keating

I don't wash them before I enter the church. I purposely sit beside someone I hate and hope that the priest will let us offer the "sign of peace".

I did it just a while ago there. God it is great. You know that smell you get when you don't wash them after taking a dump. Sweet devine.

Scarily, I'm the same, I hate when your in a public bathroom and see someone leave without washing their hands, all i can think about is all they might tough, handles, cups, stair rails etc, actually feel sick at the thought. It only takes a few seconds ffs, and by the way, wshing your hands without using soap is NOT washing your hands. I hate those who dont bother with soap and just barely get their hands wet and think their great. Grrrrr :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Or if you're in a bathroom and there is no soap, really irritating.
I always think about people smoking to be honest, they go to the toilet and then go smoking.
So they are basically putting their pissy hands up to their mouth, yuck.

==========================================================

The best way to remember to wash your hands is, after you'v picked up the hospital bug's that are flying around. That will stay with you and I promise you will never go or do anything without washing your hands.

If you go into a public house and into the loo, you can see the punters who come and go using the toilets and don't even bother to wash their hands.
they are more interested in checking their appearance than doing the most important thing, Washing their hands! :cool:

There was a survey carried out here a few years ago, where they tested ice-cream samples from various places. Much of it had traces of sh1t in it thanks to some dirty arse-wiping non hand-washing bastards handling the stuff.

Next time you're thinking of buying one, take a long sniff of the flake in your 99 before you hand over the money.

Ponster

coliform bacteria

This is why men should wash their hands after being to the toilet; it has nothing to do with urine and how much of it gets into contact with your hands.

I've said this before: your boxer-shorts region--from belly button to mid-thigh--is crawling with germs known as coliform bacteria. These bacteria originated in your intestine, and some of them are deadly. Remember punji stakes? They were sharpened sticks that the Vietcong concealed point up along trails and daubed with excrement. If you stepped on one you had a good chance of contracting a fatal infection. Similarly, an otherwise not-so-serious gunshot or knife injury could kill you if it perforated the intestine and allowed coliform bacteria to spread around your abdomen.

But you know this (or at least you ought to). What you may not know is that washing will not make the coliform bacteria go away. They're holed up in the pores of your skin and nothing short of sandblasting--certainly not your morning shower--is going to get them out. Showering merely gets rid of the ones that have strayed onto the surface. The bacteria won't do much harm if they stay put, but when you urinate your fingers come in contact with Mister P. long enough for the coliform bacteria in your pores to hop aboard. Your fingers subsequently touch lots of other infectible items. If you don't wash your hands with soap and water (soap gets rid of the skin oil that the bacteria stick to) . . . hello, Typhoid Mary.

It now dawns on you: jeez, if merely touching my privates is enough to transmit bacteria, it doesn't matter if I pee or not! Just so. Urine itself is actually fairly sterile. Cecil has read reports of it being used during wartime in poor countries as--I'm not making this up--a sort of battlefield Bactine. (U.S. doctors generally blanch at this.) The lesson to draw from this, however, is not that you can go forth dripping (yuck), but rather that just because you didn't pee on your fingers doesn't mean you can skip washing up.
