Do you wash your hands after going to the toilet?

    I took notice over the pass few weeks of the amount of people who don't wash their hands after using the toilet facilities.

    It's sickening when you are stood there washing and drying your hands and some animal whose after laying a cable, casually exits the gents without bothering to wash their hands.

    Sometimes when I see this, I consider not washing my hands too; so the germs on my hands may do battle with the germs left on the door handle and in some strange way protect me from catching 3rd party dysentery/AIDS.

    So do you, (honestly now), wash your hands after using the toilet?

    No. My cock isn't dirty. I wash my hands after having a crap though. I'd be more worried about the door, tap and toilet handles.

    After a poo...Always or if I use a toilet that is not in my own house.

    But rarely after a piss unless iv pissed all over my hands. Which happens from time to time :(

    No but it's proper manners to flush after use

    I wash my hands beforehand , and after,
    Geez, you just wash after, That makes to sense,!!
    You just entered a room you put your hand on the door handle to enter that room
    a handle that has endless germs on it from people who have not washed there hands
    So you now proceed to touch your body with hands covered in germs????

    And afterwards you wash your hands and exist room via same door and touch same handle


    YOU'RE ALL NUTS

    :P

    My regular facilities have automatic taps, hand driers and soap dispensers.

    IMO entrance/exit doors should be avoided and instead an offset entrance should be used.

    It should be a regulation in public buildings.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvUei_ZP13E this is a funny little cartoon discussing the problems with public toilets. (A bit off topic I know,) Still...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭Where To


    Yes. . . . . . with my tongue.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 972 ✭✭✭supernova84


    I wash my hands but never use the dryer. Rumour has it that germs like the heat of the dryer. I just shake my hands franticly and any remaining wetness I just rub my hands on my jeans. All this while using my shoulder to barge open the exit door of the facility in question.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 741 ✭✭✭therewillbe


    Yes. Heres one,I was standing waiting for my son to exit a cubicle and this guy comes out and gets his pecker out and starts washing it:eek: I say to him to get it back in as a child was about to wash his hands,Well the look on his face. I was fuming .He was not of Irish decent so maybe this is a cultural thing?? FXXXXXG FOOL.

    I normally just flick it out with a resounding cracking noise.

    Yes. I hate people who don't wash their hands, especially after a number 2. Real loathing hatred. :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,543 ✭✭✭JerryHandbag


    Yes of course, I am an obsessive compulsive hand washer.

    In fact I'm just going to wash my hands now after touching this filthy keyboard.

    I just pictured this happening at one of the mcwasher things in mcdonalds, made me giggle for some reason :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,148 ✭✭✭orchidsrpretty


    I rarely do at home but always in public/work toilets. I work in a clinical enviourment and we have a ultra violet light beside the sinks to check if we have washed our hands properly. It takes about 60 seconds to do it right, so I can't imagine many people that do wash their hands do it right.
    When I use a public toilet I always use tissue to turn off the tap and open the door.

    I wash my hands before I go to the toilet. I know where my dicks been, when it was washed last and what it's been in contact with and its all good - I've no idea where the rest of the sh1te I handle daily has been and I don't want the wee fella catching somthing nasty..

    I think (but I could be wrong) that germs can develop and multiple in warm, sweaty places. So you don't really know where your dick has been.

    Anyway, I always wash after, and will try and wash beforehand too (time allowing). I've lived with a girl who didn't wash her hands after going for a piss. It was ... disturbing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    Always - I wouldn't feel right if I didn't. I don't touch toilet door handles or flushing mechanisms with my bare hands.

    I wash and wash and wash but I just can't seem to wash away that feeling of shame.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,041 ✭✭✭cocoshovel


    Yes, always. I wash my hands often like after eating too etc.
    Every single day I see loads of people just stroll out of the toilets after taking a piss in college without a bother. Pigs

    Is there actually people here admitting that they don't wash their hands after taking a piss? You're all filthy dirty vile animals. I work with a guy who fits into this category and I have christened him PERCY PISS-HANDS. Just like ye all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,458 ✭✭✭senorwipesalot


    Always,and people who dont make me sick.
    I open jacks doors with my shoes on the way out like some kind of toilet ninja.

    Before , esp after chopping chillies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 219 ✭✭Randy Anders


    I always wash my hands after taking a piss but there is really no need. All your doing is holding your shlong, it's just like any other part of the body. There's prob more germs on your face sure!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,145 ✭✭✭LETHAL LADY


    I blame the parents. Its something that was drilled into us growing up. When I use a public toilet, after washing my hands I use a piece of tissue to open the door on the way out, you would be amazed at how dirty womens toilets can be.

    I do if they are dirty, but they are usually OK I use toilet paper.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 711 ✭✭✭snuggles09


    there's that old thing that goes around about there being more germs on a tooth brush then on a toilet seat..does everyone wash their hands after brushing their teeth:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 746 ✭✭✭ladypip


    I always wash my hands after uggghh the thoughts of all those germs would drive me mad throughout the day if I didn't. I also use tissue to open the door in public toilets.

    Whoever doesn't wash their hands after is a scum lord fact!!!!

    any warm, sweaty places mine's been have been absolutely lovely - any diseases I might catch from said warm, sweaty places are welcome as a price fairly paid.
    Anyway, all this foppy, watery, pernickety, Niles Craneish, ghey, soppy, get up the feckin yard ya sappy bollix, anally retentive, poncey new age mannish, greasy little shyte ya cod-ological wankster, poncey nonce "ooh, I wash my hands fifty times a day", crap has its place - In a hospital. Otherwise, warp up your immune system, reach for your inner John Wayne, ignore your peanut allergy, your OCD and your inner woosey and take a big, long, not gonna wash nothing pi55 like our caveman ancestors - no Dyson Airblades for those boyos. You probably pick up more germs touching all those rank dispensers and taps and doors than any amount of pi55 and go would expose you to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,973 ✭✭✭SafeSurfer


    YES. I wash my hands.

    Smell much?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,073 ✭✭✭Pottler

    No, actually. I shower daily, my flute is immaculate, no cheese here thanks, and my wee smells of chanel No.5.:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit


    30 seconds in the microwave after every piss. Wimpy germs can't survive the heat.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 666 ✭✭✭A0


    It depends. Sometimes there's no toilet paper so I use my hands... better wash them after!

    Rule number 1 of toilets.
    ALWAYS CHECK FOR AMPLE TOILET ROLL!

    Mind you don't warp your immune system with your anal retentive over-washing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,220 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    I almost always wash my hands after going to the toilet. The only time I wouldn't wash them is if I was in a mad rush and had to leave the room straight after the deed. I find it odd how many people have said they don't touch the door handle when exiting the toilet. I have never seen anyone cover their hand or use their foot to open the door haha.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,587 ✭✭✭Pace2008

    What ****ing goober came up with that one? Any less than 3 shakes and you end up with piss streaking your trousers.

    Always...

    Another thing that gets me is the state of mens toilets. I mean it's undeleivable the state they get into... What on earth do some lads get up to ??

    Jesus the urinals are big enough not to be pissing on the floor, as for the toilets :eek::eek: Piss everywhere, on the seat, under the seat, on the floor.. Toilets hardly ever flushed..

    It seems to be that if someone else is cleaning up, just let fly anywhere and everywhere, I'm no girly wimp but damn it's just disgusting, pity the poor folks cleaning them..
