Do you wash your hands after going to the toilet?

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 It's the same reason I don't eat out of date food; 99% of the time I'll probably be fine, but I'd rather not risk getting a preventable illness.

rovoagho · 02-02-2014 05:38PM

I just splash some on, like Old Spice.

shleedance · 02-02-2014 05:40PM

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:

Diabhal Beag · 02-02-2014 05:43PM

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

shleedance · 02-02-2014 05:45PM

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.

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.

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.

Ya, that's what I said. I've been in plenty of dodgy jacks too and I'm fine. Still wash my hands though.

Every time.

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

When I was in college, the amount of girls I would see who would go to the toilet and leave without washing their hands was shocking, especially since they were studying medical or health science courses. :eek: The HIQA report saying hand hygiene in hospitals is poor doesn't surprise me at all!

Oh I don't know either. Just throwing it out there. I think it's that people pick up meningitis from other people who do be at their own noses, rather than the nose-pickers being the ones who pick it up.
Either way, ew... It's an ISHOO! all right. (Lame sneezing joke).

rwg · 02-02-2014 06:23PM

meningitis from picking your nose me arse

snot true

fussyonion · 02-02-2014 06:45PM

The other night I was in a pub and saw a girl coming out of the Ladies. She said to her friend: "I don't like washing my hands in that toilet, it's filthy".

Barman who was collecting glasses at the table next to her overheard and quick as a flash said "Most people wash their hands in the sink, love."
:pac::pac:

In answer to the question, I always wash my hands. I'm a bit fanatical about it.

anncoates · 02-02-2014 11:11PM

Never fails to amaze me the state that so called educated workmates leave the jacks in. Piss on the seats, unflushed toilets, skids in the bowl etc. F_cking rank.
