Faking washing hands in pubs

Paco Rodriguez

It's so pathetic. Has anyone seen this carry on? While at the urinal a some guy just turns the tap on and then the drier....without actually putting his hand under either.

So he's conscious of needing to be seen be hygienic but doesn't want to bother cleaning his hands. I don't understand this behaviour, can someone please explain?



Very good witty comment need not apply.

Corvo

I have never seen this, honestly.

lertsnim

I've noticed it a few times. I too don't see why they bother.

tomwaterford

why? were you watching what other people were doing in the jacks...hardly any of your business like?

theteal

You sure that's a pub, op?

Nib

Did he not give you a tip, OP?

Paulownia

Not have I but then I duck in and out of the gents minding my own business

It's their business I have on my hands once I touch the toilet door!

Buona Fortuna

I tend to mind my own business in the jacks

antodeco

I do that at the urinal. Just stand there pretending to go, so I can use the tap and drier

eyescreamcone

I hate when I wash my hands and then someone who doesn't bother paws all over the door handle. I sometimes delay at the dryer until someone else opens the door for me.

Don't touch the handles in the men's toilets.

The_Valeyard

I've seen fake taps and sinks in the jacks before




Are those Dyson had drivers really that much better than the usual ones?

bradlente

Urine trouble now opee

Armistice

Do you mean the finger wetters who literally just wave the tips of their fingers under the tap once and then wave them under the dryer for a split second? I see them all the time in work.

There are also the ones that just don't wash. Seems to be common enough. Just wizz and walk out the door. Probably will shake hands with a few people that night.

Until you put your hand in too far, and your fingers touch the pool of other peoples hand water at the bottom. Convince yourself you've somehow caught aids or something from it.

Not even that. They just turned the tap on and then the drier.

There's no need to wash your hands after you pee on them.

It's science.

I though I was alone in this!

northknife

Maybe he gave his mickey a jolly good scrubbing before he went out for the night and didn't want to be spending so long washing his hands after holding his flute

Anyhow, how much did you make on tips last night and do those small cans of lynx really last as long as they say

Think he is that awkward guy who watches you pee

PizzamanIRL

I don't know. I just walk in, piss, wash, dry and leave. I don't notice this stuff.

It's a bit silly though, touching stuff getting more germs.

Micky Dolenz

I'm too busy looking at cocks and cracking, this is where the big lads hang out, to notice.

Sniffing the toilet roll. Obviously the unused ones though. Otherwise that would just be weird!

You're some man, Howard! What did you do with the bottles of piss?

The_Valeyard

Have bought condoms from those machines when younger (once everyone left)



Who here can admit they bought some Toppets, toothbrush, mints, stimulants, vibea ring, etc from this machines?


Anyone?

Hooked

So, to recap.

We pee. We turn the tap on (who everyone else who's peed has touched) and then we wash our hands.

We take these clean hands and touch the same tap again. Magic.

And then we pass under a hand dryer to seal in all that pissy goodness.


Shall I be honest? I've never given it too much thought. I piss, I leave. I touch my own knob (mostly the hinge end, it's not like I'm poking around under the hood) and I'm gone.

Im still here. And so are all of my mates that I've drank with for the last 20 years.

What about respect for other people. I am sure they wouldn't be shaking your hand or letting you pass them a beer If they knew you had micky fingers.

ringadingding

I've done this, had a slash, got to the sink to find no soap, no dryer and no paper towels.
Tap is already on before I've assessed the situation.
At which time I bow out of being forced to wipe wet hands on my jeans.

I honestly wouldn't worry a whole lot about it.. I've worked in dozens of bars & clubs over the last twenty plus years, and anyone who has worked in one will tell you ~ they're the filthiest places you'll ever visit.. If most people seen a pub or a club when the doors are closed and the lights are on they'd be horrified.

Someone not washing their hands after a pee really doesn't bother me too much, like I do think its pretty dirty but they're not making the kip you're in any dirtier by not washing, trust me.

Me, I'm a washer. I try to time someone else opening a door for me, then I'll hold the door with my foot. I know that makes me a hypocrite but I'm a germpphobe in general anyway.

I was out with 8 good friends sat night. Can't think of once I shook hands with any of them. Passing beers? The bottles and glasses we drink from are kept in the dampest, dingiest places and often not washed properly. The whole hygiene thing is done to death as far as I'm concerned.

Like I said. This is all a bit OTT.

Maybe I'm just a bit 'meh' about it all. Can't see how it's a pressing 'life or death' hygiene issue. We touch our bits. We touch a lot of other unhygienic stuff daily.

My dogs lick their bits one min and are licking me the next. I just don't her hung up on it. Some people let their dogs into their beds FFS.

What about sex? Oral, anal, all the other fun stuff (with a significant other). Do we stop to worry about who's washed what when bumping uglies? Or when we're lying in bed afterwards?

Bit more to be worrying about that lads that don't wash their hands after a piss. As for the OP, what's with lads 'faking' the wash... No. Just no.

The Strawman Argument

I know a guy who only buys his condoms from the machines in pub bathrooms because he's too embarrassed to buy them in a shop, he's 27.


I always wash and dry my hands pretty thoroughly. There's definitely a lot of people who just rinse their hands and acknowledge the dryer but I'd imagine they do that in any situation where they've been trained to wash their hands, I'd blame their parents and primary school teachers for not training them properly.

Anytime when I go to a public bathroom and someone is already in a stall or goes into one, I turn on the hand dryer to drown out the potential sound of any farthing or subsequent plops.

Jesus. How do you manage to leave the house in the morning?

Yeah I've noticed it too. In fact it's endemic. This wouldn't be the time or place to go into details but I once got a (mild) dose of food poisoning at age 18 as a result of me not washing my own hands. Years later and I had a couple of jobs where hygiene was essential, handling food, sterile rooms for specialist manufacturing, that sort of thing. So I don't actually mean to "check out" other men in the pub jacks, it's just something that comes kind of instinctively to me from experience.

The fact that men will turn on the tap, leave it run while they fix their hair/check their phones/etc, then pull out a dry paper towel to dispense directly into the bin without using it is just baffling.

I mean FFS if you're going to go to all that trouble going through the motions in order for some random stranger not think you're a lazy filthy slob who literally eats his own sh!te off his own hands, then just wash your Goddamn hands for Christ's sake! It won't hurt you, you know.

Oh yeah, always always always either open the jacks door with my elbow, or if not possible pull my sleeve over my hand. Just because there isn't big brown scutter stains up and down the walls doesn't mean the people who don't wash their hands don't leave bacteria behind to share with the rest of us.

That's all well and good, but what do you do about the sound of guineas, sovereigns, and shillings?

I do this too. I call it my pervy technique. I wait and follow some other bloke in to the jacks and try and hang back until I can follow him out the door without having to touch anything. Got to get close sometimes

Pinch Flat

I've trained myself just to wash my right hand - does all the holding and shaking. Saves water too.

Wow, how much does that end up costing? Those things are miles more expensive than a shop/pharmacy.

Don't go to pubs or, if you go to pubs, don't go to the toilet. Problem solved.

Going to a public bathroom in a pub and you are worried about what you touch on the toilet door? :pac:

I don't see what the problem is. I have an incredibly clean penis.

Grandpa Hassan

Reading this thread you'd think that shaking hands with someone who hasn't washed their hands after taking a whizz, or touching a toilet door, could result in death!

Don Kedick

In the womens toilets they always wash their hands and have a close inspection of their faces to check if they need a make up or lipstick top up. There's always a nice smell, unlike the mens, that's why I only use womens toilets.

You take out your cock and hold the shaft, how is that bit of skin somehow contaminated in a way that the skin on any other part of your body is not?

- You shower in the morning.
- You put on boxers, jeans and go about your business.
- Several times during the day you take your clean cock out and have a piss.

If anything you should clean your hands before touching your cock.
