Wash ya damn hands people!

It's as bad as people who don't bother to flush the toilet after they go in a public facility. I mean really. I bet these people don't do that at home?
 
I always wash my hands. The not washing the hands is not just millennials there is always someone who never washes their hands does not matter what age they are.

Edit:

I remember a story from Luke Smith at Bungie back in the day when he was on 1Up where he said before he went into a meeting with someone he didn't like, he would piss and not wash his hands, so when they shook, the other person was basically touching his dick.

Man, I miss 1Up
 
Doesn't a certain exposure to germs in fact create a better immune system than someone say, living in a plastic bubble?

Ergo it's good to not wash your hands after the potty.
 
Maybe it's something that I have observed as a phenomenon, but it often seems like when I am at the sink and someone else has just finished up they will kinda run their hands through the faucet and leave. However, if I am just at the urinal, or whatever, they will just leave the room.

People seem more worried about appearing dirty than actually being dirty.
 
I've always noticed this.

But I find that in secondary schools and universities it's kinda looked down upon so people do it anyway even if they don't want to.

In public toilets like in a shopping centre it seems to be a very very common occurrence though.
 
LOL at all of these reactions. I was just asking to see if they employed the same belief at home because if they live alone, maybe they feel it's just themselves they have to deal with.

Let me ask something else then. What exactly about touching your junk is filthy versus say touching your face which is much more susceptible to germs, things in the air, etc.? Do people wash their hands every time they touch their face or their hair, etc.? I see many say the word 'gross' but I'm wondering how the actual filth of this comes into question.

It's not that you have a filth ridden junk
It's that you make the choice to not spread your junk all over the place. I wouldn't grab my dick and shake your hand. Just like wiping my ass then shaking your hand. Just out of decency. You might get splash back on your hands from a urinal, or when you shake. Sam with wiping your ass. You might get poo particles on your hands while wiping the area.

I wash my hands because it's a good habit to keep your hands clean before eating/after/and taking a shit.
 
I remember when I was in college I went to the restroom and there was someone clearly taking a dump. They walked out the stall and didn't wash their hands. At best this person didn't wipe their ass and she walking with a crusty ass and at worst they did wipe and didn't wash their hands afterwards and had shit residue on their hands. Less than 3 minutes later I saw him shaking hand with a bunch of people. By the way this wasn't a student, it was a professor.

Which itself is not as bad as the people who leave the entire floor covered in slushy shit. Which is kind of an impressive feat. I have to wonder how it happened. Maybe they got up when they thought they were done, but shit kept flowing out of their ass, and they turned around to reach the flush but they slipped on their own shit and fell over while they continued to spray shit out of their ass. That's the only way I can imagine it.
 
It not just touching your junk, your touching all kinds of stuff covered in shit and piss and god knows what when in a bathroom.

Also if people don't wash their hands when they go to the bathroom I'm gonna go ahead and guess they don't go out of their way to do it at other times so when the hell do they ever actually wash their damn hands.
I don't know what kind of bathrooms you frequent but the only thing I touch when I go in is myself and seat covers along with the toilet paper. Most sinks use touch-less faucets it seems these days or ones I can tap with the back of my hand. Door handles are always the question mark and I do my best to touch as least as possible.

But I avoid bathrooms at all costs when possible and always wash again when I get home or use sanitizer I have in the car.
 
Seriously. If you have access to water, fucking wash your hands. Always creeps me out when I'm at the movies too.

Also magically changed genders
 
Not washing your hands is the extreme end of things but even if they do, a lot of people don't do it thoroughly enough. Like, I was taking a dump at work and some mistery man sits down in the next stall, has an audible case of diarrhea, wipes 2-3 times and holds his hands under water for like 2 seconds. Might as well just wipe all that shit over your face if that's how you do it.

Door handles obviously, stall door if you touch it, the air itself. Also just regular stuff outside the bathroom is covered in nasty stuff since a ton of people don't wash their hands.

And still have the problem of if a person is too damn lazy to wash their hands when they're already only a couple of feet away from a sink they sure as hell aren't doing it often enough.
 
I heard from a gaffer that in Europe they hire people to make sure u wash your hands. Or did they hire people to watch you shower before u go swimming? Either way there needs to be some sort of washroom enforcement
But who watches the washroom Watchmen?
 
I see this happen every once in awhile and it is fucking gross. Call them out on it next time.

We've also had this thread several times before.
 
These threads always make me giggle.
Same people who throw a fit and send their food back if they find hair in it. just take it out and continue eating. Donno how you guys survive trying to live in such a germ free bubble.

Swear its the same people who get sick like 5-6 times a year.

Things that likely have more germs than your "junk". Your House door knob. The door handle of your car, the steering wheel in you car. Hope you wash your hands before shaking mine after a car ride. Gross!
Then theres the restaurant, better hope there is a push door to get inside, cause any door handle is filthy.

I'm for washing hands. I don't throw a fit if I find hair in food. I get sick once every couple of years.
 
There's a fundamental conceit to this question - That I handle myself when I go to the bathroom. I mean, when I poop that's another story, but if I'm peeing, I've devised a simple method to cleanly take care of business without touching the little guy. I mean, if I touched him, I'd have to waste time washing my hands.
 
There's too many people at the office that don't wash their hands, like, ever.

Of course they're always the ones bringing homemade food in for luncheons, and have downright disgusting cubicles (like should be forced to clean the food stains up disgusting)

Needless to say I don't participate in luncheons anymore. Or touch anyone's hand
 
The only time it's acceptable to not wash your hands after using the bathroom is when you wake up in the middle of the night and have to piss.

Especially if you sit down to pee, then you practically don't even touch anything.

You're essentially saying that you shouldn't get germs off your hands because there are things with more germs. Which is absolutely moronic. By that logic we shouldn't bathe or shower either. Because hey, we are just going to get dirty again, right?
 
In my office, I see grown ass dudes not wash their hands - and I keep a mental checklist of whoever is nasty, so I can not shake their hand, and avoid touching stuff after they do it.

Super gross...
 
I've seen this my entire life from all ages. The amount of men that walk out without approaching the sink is disgusting. I always use a paper towel to open the door on my way out if I can't kick it open.
 
Happens all the time at work. People take a shit, flush, straight out the door.

And I'm there shaking my fucking head seeing them shake hands at work and touching all the communal shit. Kinda infuriates me, but then I also wash my hands frequently in hopes I don't mistakenly touch my face and catch their ass-viruses.

Edit: there are specifically a few people in my department that do this (I can see their shoes), so I don't eat any food when we have team events, team potlucks, etc. One co-worker approached me about not being a "team" player, and I told him the reason I don't eat things that the entire team has been digging their hands in, and his response was: "What are you, some kind of germaphobe? That's why we have immune systems"

My response:

oprah.gif

I mean judging by this post I'd probably wash my hands after too

Just wash your goddamn hands
 
Some people do it, some don't. I don't see that ever changing. Some people are just oblivious of it - or that's what I hope is what's happening.

OP, do you wash your hands every time when you're at home as well?

Disgusting.

Yes of course every time. Holyshit some people in here...

Urgh I know where you are coming from, but not for going to the bathroom. You are disgusting man. Everything has germs on it - Yes, doesnt mean you have to be filthy. Also you are wrong about the getting sick point lol

Is your dick a snake? How do you shake your piss off? How do you clean your dick when you are sitting down without touching your dick? Toiletpaper in both hands or what?
 
There are people who don't do this in the office bathroom and I'm just flabbergasted by it. I know who you are! HOW CAN YOU JUST WALK OUT?!
 
Exactly. Your smartphone holds ungodly amounts of bacteria, yet people still grab their curly fries and lick their fingers while posting Facebook updates.

Not me.

Truth be told I'm probably oversensitive to germs, but having worked in the restaurant industry and seeing firsthand that an 'A' rating means nothing in some places, I don't take my chances.

Before my hands touch food, I'll go to the bathroom and wash them. I don't touch the sink or doorknob again unless it's with a paper towel or my elbow or something. When I return to my food I make a conscious decision to not use my phone until I'm done. This is assuming of course I'm required to use my hands to eat and not silverware.

I'd read it as less people being prudes and more imploring people to use a scientifically verified and foolproof way to prevent sickness that is pretty universally agreed upon.

It doesn't take that long! What kind of life are you leading where the 30 seconds it takes is some burden?
 
Are you asking this question like you think it's unlikely? Because I do wash my hands every time at home,

Oh god people are gross

Do you think your dick is gross? Because when I'm at home and not immediately shaking hands with people or had raw sex before i don't give a fuck. Its just skin.
 
I can't believe how some grown ass men (I imagine women do it too but I haven't seen it for obvious reasons) just walk out of a bathroom without washing their hands. I stopped interacting with a guy at work after I saw him walking out without washing his hands a couple of times. Gross!
