Faking washing hands in pubs

    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.

    I have never seen this, honestly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,071 ✭✭✭✭lertsnim


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,768 ✭✭✭✭tomwaterford


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,590 ✭✭✭theteal


    You sure that's a pub, op?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,088 ✭✭✭Nib


    Did he not give you a tip, OP?

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

    I tend to mind my own business in the jacks ;)

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

    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.

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




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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,910 ✭✭✭bradlente


    Urine trouble now opee


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59 ✭✭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.

    Think he is that awkward guy who watches you pee


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 464 ✭✭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


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,079 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 591 ✭✭✭Paulownia

    I could have sworn you were looking at my willy!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 698 ✭✭✭Paco Rodriguez

    I think perv is the word you were looking for

    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?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,452 ✭✭✭✭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?

    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.

    Jesus wept
