How do you wash your hands?

Snapper1

Just wondering what the majority of people do.

There's 2 possible scenarios:

1. With dirty hands, you twist the tap on, run your hands under the water, turn the tap off with wet hands (thereby getting water on the tap and causing gunk and stuff to build up behind the taps) and then dry your hands with a towel.

2. With dirty hands, you twist the tap on, run your hands under the water, dry your hands with a towel while the water is still running and then turn the tap off again with dry hands. (thereby getting the germs you put on the tap while you were turning it on, back on your hands!)

Its a 'lose-lose' situation! What is the world to do!

I suggest u use ur mouth turn on the tap and then use ur hands to turn it off.

U may also want to try ur feet.

chilipop

Always the first scenario I must admit
thank **** I have a Mum to wash up after me.

if ur in the gents of a pub, you'll probably grab the door handle on the way out... the same handle all those who didnt wash their hands use.
I suggest you shoulder the door open (as long as its 'push'!).... otherwise, just wait there til someone else opens the door for you....

THE GGEEERRRRRMMMSSS!!!!

Weird Question!

I just wash my hands, you don't need details.

You could just get someone with dry hands to turn on and off the tap though!

Just leave the tap running all the time. It's not like water costs anything.

Germs schmerms,
did you know that people only started getting asthma and allergies after tape worm medicine was widely available, and these "conditions don't exist in the third world where they do have tapeworms,
so sometimes it's better not to be getting overly dramatic about germs, yet perhaps asthma is better then ****ting dead worms out your ass, your call!

Ro: maaan!

I've always thought that tap thing myself.

People seem to care more about door handles. I've seen a few people use tissue to open the door on the way out...

If my hands are "dirty" (i.e. caked in dirt), then I wash my hands, wash the tap, then wash my hands again, then turn off the tap. Otherwise I'm not overly concerned about the addition of a few extra bacteria to the millions already all over my hands.

I just smear my hands with dog food and get my pet dog to lick 'em clean.... then I dry them on his fur....

It's an interesting topic though... You see some people wash their hands like mad, only to dry them on a dank smelly old (germ infested!) towel....
It's good to be a little dirty people....

Turn on tap, wash hands, wash tap, turn off tap, dry hands, dry tap, pour bleach over hands to remove any unkilled germ, turn on tap, wash off bleach, wash tap, turn off tap, spray tap with disinfectant. That's my routine anyway, only problem is you can get some disinfectant on your hands, but you could always wash them afterwards!

I used to do number 1 but now I turn tap on, wet hands, put soap on hands, massage hands, rinse off soap, turn off tap and then dry hands.

If you're at home you should be more worried about what's lurking on your towel, than the tap!

Besides, if my hands are dirty, I just use my forearm to turn the tap on.

The best setups are the bathrooms with the auto everything. You put your hands under and it wets them. Then it dispenses soap. Then it dispenses more water to rinse off, and then blow dries my hands.

What? You used to wee on your hands?

What is happening to the world?

chilipop

My sentiments exactly ~Keyzer ps wasnt it crap my comp thread got closed down

Push down tap plunger and wash hands, after about 20 seconds the tap will turn off by it self, due to the plunger raising up. That way your hands will never get dirty while washing. But the plunger will...

Put hands under sensor, tap goes on. Take hands away, tap goes off. Nothing gets dirty.

I kick the tap until it starts to flow

mukki

slightly off topic but if your chopping chillies , make sure to wash your hands with soap and a scrubber before you go for a piss :eek: , and again afterwards

Third_Echelon

and the moral of the story is.... dont wash your hands...

tinkerbell

And the other moral of the story is - germs won't build up if you clean your sink regularly.

chilipop

This is my 100th post hurrah bring on the 2nd star,
but I would like to say, the more germs you add to dirt, the more bacteria COULD grow

Giblet

I don't wash my hands after pissing because I don't piss on my hands.


Think about it.
