Washing hands

[pntballa18]

I think it is really nasty how many people don't wash their hands now. No one at my school does, when I go to the movies no one washes their hands after going to the bathroom, and so on. I want to find out if there are people besides me who actually care about touching other peoples crap on their hands.

[The_Q]

I wash my hands about three times an hour.

EDIT: I thought this was in ChitChat, where it belongs. Move it.

Not washing your hands after going to the bathroom or before making food (something like that), to me, is absolutely disgusting. I'm not obsessive about it or anything like that but I do carry hand sanitizer around with me, which to you might seem a little weird, but it's stopping me from getting sick more often.

[pntballa18]

Yes, It is digusting. I dont know how some people could go to the bathroom without washing your hands.

[Snapps]

I always wash my hands.

Everyday and after every bathroom.

You guys don't have it nearly as bad in the bathroom as us girls do. Honestly, some women are disgusting. Imagine walking into a bathroom, going into a bathroom stall and it's filled with yellow pee. Not only that, but there's no toilet paper in bowl either.

Okay so you figure, it's just pee so people don't really care. At my school, some girls don't flush the toilet after taking a dump. I've seen on MULTIPLE OCCASIONS toilets full of period/blood and they don't flush that either.

And you guys complain about people not washing their hands, try being a girl for a day

wow, that must mean you have the handle flushes...wow. never see those in any place but home anymore. at least i dont.

but thats off-topic. yes i do wash my hands, i find it extremely gross not to.

For guys, the penis is one of the cleanest parts of the body. The scrotum is not as clean because of the bacteria-spawning sweat that is excreted, but other than that the whole area is shielded from most any kind of dirt or bacteria or what have you.

After wiping, unless you're really careless, your hands should have been completely shielded from everything but the toilet paper.

That said, if washing my hands takes much more effort, I might not do it unless I know I'll be interacting with others much, out of respect for them. It's a whole psychological issue, then, since I don't want to risk the chance of the other people not seeing it the way I do. My girlfriend knows how often I wash my hands (all the time when I'm around her) because I DELIGHT in teasing her with extremely cold hands.

Oh boy...

I'm pretty much obsessive compulsive about washing my hands. No, seriously. I had to cut down a LOT. I used to wash my hands so often that my hands got dried out, broke out in hives whenever I used any kind of lotion, were red, itchy, and painful. I washed them three times in the morning before school alone, at least twice during the school day, and god knows how many times after school. I've always been paranoid about sharing germs. I don't share drinks or any type of utensil that anyone has eaten off of. It's really weird thing for me.

If you've been to a chinese food place and eaten there, you basically know how they have those little bowls of those white mints with the colored stuff inside. Other restaurants have them, too. Well, my mom told me this woman who she was friends with said "People go into the bathrooms, pee, dont wash their hands, and use their hands to grab a handful of those mints from those bowls. I'll never eat those mints again." Thats probably what started it. The idea of eating something that has remains of urine on them is one of the most vile things. ever. Washing my hands is completely necessary. If I don't wash my hands more than twice a day I feel extremel gross and dirty.

[pntballa18]

you washed your hands so much that you got hives? wow. thats like 40 times a day.

[Tasselfoot]

Hey Jurs... just because this is gonna mess with your head for days....

There is not only feces on almost everything you touch (in your house or otherwise), but there is cocaine on something like 40% of all $100 bills.

Enjoy.

PS - moved out of CT. I'm going to greatly enjoy when we get a real CT topic that revolves around bodily functions.

I wash my hands almost every time after going to the bathroom. Sometimes if I'm in a hurry I won't (if I know they're clean).

I try to wash my hands before eating if I'm going to be picking up food, but really only if I've been doing something that would cause it (handling change or money, typing on a public keyboard, etc).

I'm with guido. My penis is squeaky clean. Sometimes I don't even touch it throughout the whole process, and if there's an automatic flush, then there's no need for me to. When I need to, I do...but I don't do it just b/c I was in the bathroom.

[Squeek]

I can FEEL whether or not my hands are dirty and it makes me want to wash. Everytime I get to my destination after driving, I wash my hands. Before every meal, after every potty break, etc. Many times a day.

I used to be a counselor for a Sports Camp over the summer and I FORCED the kids to use soap. They normally did not. They thought just passing a hand under the faucet for a second was good enough. Idiots. And people wonder why I spend a minute lathering soap on my hands.

I work at a pizza place where absolutely everything is DISGUSTING, and is thusly washed at every given opportunity. The most disgusting thing of all, of course, is the human body, so that includes us. Not washing hands and handling food can literally be a firing offense.

Actually, urine is virtually sterile. It can even be used to clean wounds. Urine should be the least of your worries.

I usually only wash my hands before I eat at a public place or when they are visably dirty. I usually never wash my hands before I cook for myself, unless I have reason to doubt the cleanliness of my hands. If I am cooking for other people, I always wash my hands out of courtesy.

In case you are wondering, I rarely get sick.

Sigh.

I've gotten better about washing my hands after using the bathroom, especially at home. I don't really like the soap in public restrooms, so I rarely use it. Then Bath and Body Works came into my life and gave me the "Any four anti-bacterial soaps for ten dollars" special, so I stocked up on wonderful-smelling anti-bac hand gels (the ones that don't need water) and I know that's not as good as actually washing your hands, but it gets the job done.

By the way, Chardish, I'd rather clean a thousand men's rooms before a women's after working at Arby's. Women don't want to sit on the seat, because of that whole "ZOMG BACTERIA" thing, and women, for obvious reasons CAN'T AIM, so they piss all over the seat, the floor, the wall. It's disgusting. And then there's The Box. Women in public restrooms are NOT courteous about making sure their feminine items are wrapped up in toilet paper or anything to keep them from making a huge mess in The Box. It's gross.
