    I go through phases where I can shower 4/5 times a day. For no reason other than I love the after shower feeling of being alive.

    Normally 2 twice a day ,and a 3rd if I am doing something physical.


    Wow, the only time i showered more than once a day was when i was in France and it was 37 degrees and no air con.

    If I touch anything dirty, after dinner, after toilet, after meeting disgusting people at mass.

    Average about 4 times a day maybe. Twice when I'm not bothered.

    -before/after piss
    - after poop
    - after handling tyres/cash/dusty things
    - when they're sweaty

    about 35 times a day

    I hate when customers come into my work to buy lunch and have visible dirt on their hands. What's the problem...wash them before leaving work. I don't care if you're a big macho plumber. You're just a barcode with dirty hands to me.

    Yeh that drove me mad in the shop, the amount of dust on the stuff, some of us wore the latex gloves, and we had the mechanics coming in covered in oil. (oil is hard to get off though).

    Why do you bother going to mass when you obviously have no idea what it is to be christian?

    On the contrary. Piss is actually quite clean.

    Why the feck have I been washing my hands after I go for a piss then?!

    Me,

    Somewhere between 40 and 60.

    Breakdown

    5 times toilet (maybe 15 on a bad day)
    5 times toddler to toilet
    10 times during food preparation
    10 times touching the bin inside
    5 times touching the bin outside
    5 - 10 times touching the cat
    10 times during cleaning chores
    everytime i touch money/keys/screwdriver

    = 50+


    these are aprox could be more or less

    No wonder i have dry hands.

    Wow, surprised you have any hands after all that scrubbing.

    I would wash my hands fairly frequently, maybe 7-8 times per day.
    What gets me is the amount of folks who don't wash their
    hands properly. Me, wet hands, apply soap/gel and wash hands
    until soap is well lathered, making sure to clean hands and nails before
    rinsing well off.

    Most people apply the gel first, then wet the hands, resulting in most of the
    soap or gel being instantly removed, and then the half ass wash their hands..

    Regarding after taking a leak. Remember, unless your hands are being splashed
    with urine, touching the skin on your penis isn't all that different than
    touching any other part of your skin. Does one automatically wash their hands after
    touching their leg, shoulder, arm etc? Unless your penis is sweaty and
    smelly, then the need to always wash hands after urinating is not needed.

    It's only sterile when fresh. Clean away.

    After jacks, before dinner etc. Oh, and everytime my chain falls off my bike:mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 527 ✭✭✭shuvly


    at work, feckin stupid ammount, but obviously not enough, cos us nurses spread the plague....its got absolutely nothing to do with the doctors..(dirty bastards)...or just the public visiting that are not aware of the risk...


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,039 ✭✭✭face1990


    I've never kept count of how many times a day, generally it's just:

    After using the toilet
    Before preparing food
    Probably a couple of times during food prep, especially if I'm handling raw meat
    After touching the bin


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,872 ✭✭✭strobe


    Before I cook and after I sh1t and never in between.

    Is it weird that I'd be much more likely to wash my hands after petting someone else's dog, than after petting my own?

    Maybe I feel like I've already built up a resistance to my own dog's germs! :P
