    I think most of us are guilty for not cleansing the paws after unloading some waste? Though, it is a bit nasty when someone drops the kids off at the pool and then proceeds to pick their fingernails with their teeth!?! :(

    I mostly try to use the sink afterwards............mostly. :p

    You'd be inclined to wash them after a poo. The poo might get on your hands and under your nails.

    With a pee it is not necessary for a man to wash his hands. All he does is hold the shaft in place or if he is hardened then he doesn't need to hold it.

    So you wouldn't be washing them after a pee, only after a poo - if necessary.

    Why did you assume people's attitudes in the Poll? ;)

    To be fair, we should be washing our hands before we take a piss.. My willy is cleaner than most things I'd touch during the day.

    Ill much? Course i wash my hands after the loo,it only takes two seconds. Remind me never to go to your house if your making a meal..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 913 ✭✭✭Ronan Keating


    Wimmin' would be doing the washin' after the wipeover. The woman can end up getting poo on their hands after a pee. Men can't.

    No, unless I feel my hands are dirty... why, do people piss on their hands? Why do you clean them?

    I would wash my hands fairly regualarly, but for example, if you have showered and cleansed well, and minutes later you take a leak, what
    exactly is dirty when you finish? Assuming you ain't pissing on your hand, what is dirty? All you have done is
    touch the skin on your organ, the skin, which is fairly clean

    Now, taking a dump would require cleaning the hands moreso.
    But, a leak is just a leak, and providing you don't piss on
    your hands, then is it ALWAYS necessary to wash the hands?

    If it is a communal bathroom the chances are there are faeces/aerosols everywhere. So someone who doesn't do it usually fecks it up for the rest. The majority of the time it probably will be ok but there will always be a chance of infection.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 426 ✭✭ddef


    A simple 'Yes' or 'No' poll would have sufficed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Ha ha.........I'm not using me as a bloody example, I always wash my hands (Put hands in toilet and flush :pac:)

    I find it pretty manky when in the nite-club you see fellas just leave without washing their hands. Probably got more to do with not getting snagged by the guy at the door trying to spray you and give you chewing gum.....

    This reminds me of the Air Force v Army debate.

    When the Air Force officer was in at the urinal he did his thing and then washed and dried his hand whilst noticing an Army NCO that had his pee, buttoned up and was leaving the loo.
    Unable to resist he said in a haughty voice "in the Air Force we are trained to wash and dry our hands after we have urinated!" The Army NCO responded with "in the Army they train us not to piss on our hands" and left. :D An oldy but a goody.

    Washing your hands after using the loo is the natural reaction for millions . Unless you have an opposite form of ocd the question is slightly noorotic , null and void .

    What if you don't get any shít on your hands after taking a shít? You don't need to wash the hands then.

    Ah yeah, but the very nature and aspect of wiping an arse leaves you open to more. Molecules and all that. It's little more risky... I would air on the side
    of caution mate, and give a rinse/wash...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,649 ✭✭✭Luap


    No I wash my hands before the loo, I'm not a gentlemen!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 913 ✭✭✭Ronan Keating


    Well if she'd lick the anus I don't see her having any problem with a few dodgy fingers. :>

    Oh dear.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 913 ✭✭✭Ronan Keating


    Seriously though. There's a big difference.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,492 ✭✭✭Thomas828


    Yes, every time. Unless I'm out in the country in the middle of nowhere and it's been dry and there aren't any decent puddles around.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,273 ✭✭✭racso1975


    if it's that cheap ass toilet paper that rips and ends up with your fingers covered in crap............then possibly


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,406 ✭✭✭Pompey Magnus


    Yeah I do of course. Reminds me tough a couple of days ago I was in a pub toilet and a little Japanese fella came in and washed his hands before using the urinal. Odd that.

    In public you wash your hands before the toilet for one simplistic reason. Man does not want to catch the diseases of the uncleaned which would be found on door handles etc.

    He would not want to have his foreskin ravaged by little specimens of disease thus washes before and after and as soon as he gets to a safe sink - the clean one at his house which carries his germs.
