    Depends if my fingers went through the paper or not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,896 ✭✭✭Hande hoche!


    Yes, yes I do.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,039 ✭✭✭MJ23


    Most of the time.
    When in the jax in a pub, I wait for someone to open the door on their way in so as I don't have to touch the handle. Where possible I try open it with my elbow.
    Hardly ever see lads washing their hands after a whistle, big farmers with dirty hands. So why would I wash mine and then contaminate them by holding the pissy dirty door handle?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,080 ✭✭✭✭Big Nasty


    No. My momma taught me not to pee on my hands.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,147 ✭✭✭PizzamanIRL


    Yes. If you don't wash your hands you're keeping all the germs from touching pissy door handles

    I hate hand dryers or paper towel dispensers that you have to touch to work them.

    Every single time without fail. It's fcuking disgusting not to.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,562 ✭✭✭✭Sunnyisland


    Yes every time , it's disgusting not to.

    Post above just before me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 445 ✭✭rwg


    Yes, but have never really worked out why, cause me lad is usually cleaner than me hands


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,000 ✭✭✭mitosis


    I think you should be washing your hands BEFORE you touch your lad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40 Saggyjocks


    Yes everytime, amazes me how many people don't, and aswell Like the other poster i try my best not to touch any pissy door handles but sometimes that's not possible so I carry hand sanitiser so after washing my hands I go back to wherever I started and sanitise, I would wear rubber gloves in public and change them regularly if it was socially acceptable

    Because no one wants to touch a door handle that has come in contact with your cock hand!

    Ok then can we change the title of the thread for clarity?


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Every single time. Doorhandles are for elbows, prefer paper towels to dryers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,904 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    Yes.

    Don't know about anywhere else but the toilets at work would make you puke, the toilets are always full of shít and never flushed, there's some really dirty people out there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 970 ✭✭✭yawhat!


    I smear my poo on door handles.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    Yes always.

    I have an obsession with keeping my hands clean.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭shleedance


    Most of the time, unless it's not involving anything unsanitary. I always do if the toilets are filthy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 269 ✭✭Me?


    When travelling I bring wipes in the car as some of the toilets at service stations in this country are disgusting. So disgusting I wont even touch the taps to wash my hands.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 519 ✭✭✭thecatspjs


    I do yea. What I don't get though is people just running their hands under a cold tap for a second without any soap, then wiping them dry in their trousers. Does that count as washing? I don't think it does.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 899 ✭✭✭StickyIcky


    What is it with lads pissing all over the seat and floor of toilet pubs?

    Do you do that at your own gaff after a few cans.

    I swear it's like an animal came in and just pissed all over the place it's fupping disgusting.

    Who the fup do you work with? And who the fup doesn't flush a poo after dropping it. I swear to god if I were king of the world anyone caught doing that would be hung from a cage in public without a toilet for a month. See if they ever do it again after that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Meangadh


    People who don't wash their hands after using the toilet are scumbags. Disgusting. You can reason it any way you want, I'll still think you're a hideous individual.

    I wouldn't touch one of those things for quids. Haven't actually seen one since I was really small either.

    Disgusting yokes, my memory is of one that didn't 'dispense' and it was just a length of filthy fabric :(.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 79 ✭✭Donaldio


    I dont even wash my hands after i cream myself which is about 3-4 times a day and i dont even bother to take my trouser or pants down when i do that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Meangadh


    Dyson Airblades, yer only man when it comes to drying your hands in a public toilet after washing them. All other hand dryers are crap in comparison.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    Yes? how is this even a question? if you're older than a toddler and don't do this you're a disgusting person.

    Every time. I hate touching doors etc. I do think the doors into the loo should be pull in push out so you don't have to touch filthy door handle. Makes no sense to me than most of the time it's the other way round.

    Also don't touch buses/lifts/doorhandles unless I absolutely have to, and then with the outside of my coat if I can. Féickin willy hand everywhere *bleugh* :eek:

    There is absolutely no excuse, ever bar no water for not washing your hands. And washing them, not just wetting them under a tap and heading back out again. Happens a lot in the ladies. Willy and cúnt hands everywhere :eek:

    What if they don't touch anything? Walk up to a urinal, open their jeans and close then after? Or flush the toilet with your elbow at home for instance?

    You would swear going to the toilet involved piss*ng on your hands.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 661 ✭✭✭Norfolk Enchants_


    Nah why bother, nothing like your own faces and urine to give your food that certain "je ne sais quoi".

    I'd love one of those! I'd also love one of these puppies:

    No more towels :)

    I wash my hands in the toilet. Saves on water.

    Do all the people who are saying "It's disgusting not to. Anyone who doesn't is an animal" ever engage in oral sex?

    Yea, but I give her a good scrubbin with the hard side of a sponge first.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,151 ✭✭✭rovoagho


    So much OCD.

    While I've seen people flushing the jacks with their foot in dirty pub or club toilets, I'm pretty sure I've never seen someone open the door with their elbow.

    Is there a pub in Dublin where everyone wanders around with their latex-clad hands held in the air like surgeons? Sounds fab.

    Haha good man yerself. You're exempt from my smart-ar$ery so.

    Bringing a sponge and some Domestos on a night out is essential for me.

    I use Harpic wipes on my hoohaa before letting a fella go down on me.

    It wouldn't be necessary if I didn't witness first hand how disgusting some people really are (pissing all over the seat/floor, taking a shíte and walking straight out the door). It's the same reason I don't eat out of date food; 99% of the time I'll probably be fine, but I'd rather not risk getting a preventable illness.

    I just splash some on, like Old Spice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭shleedance


    Keeping your hands clean is one thing, but some people posting on here take the piss. ;D

    I'd worry more about accidentally getting poo on my hand when wiping, than some toilet door knob.

    Yes, let's ignore that bacteria live literally everywhere to some degree. Even in the air. No matter how much you clean, you're still at risk. :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    Not posh enough to wash. Shur germs are good fer ya?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭shleedance


    Kinda reminds me of nose picking. I've read somewhere that apparently people who actively do it are more likely to have stronger immune systems and rarely get sick. Don't quote me on it though.

    It's the bug that spreads meningitis apparently.

    Ah now, no need to get all eye-rolly. There are different types of bacteria that affect the body in different ways. Of course everyone is always at risk, but there's nothing wrong with wanting to minimise it.

    Depends what I've done in the toilet!
    Pee: Generally just rinse my hands with water. I wouldn't have any on my hands but would hold my penis in position.
    Poo: then yes wash properly

    In a public toilet then your probably more hygienic to not wash your hands. Better be covered in only your own germs than a hundred other peoples.

    That's all it does though - minimalise. You're not going to catch superSARS by touching a doorknob, though. I rarely get sick despite being in quite dodgy toilets in my lifetime. :eek:

    Ironically, while I agree cleanliness is key - this kind of stringent cleaning has made various strains more resistant.

    I have no source to back up what I said. That's the issue. I can't say it's actually true.
