Guys and girls this is a strange question but how many people go to the bathroom without washing their hands?

[Anonymous]

I think this is the grossest thing ever. Even in the girls room at the bar ill see girls leaving without washing there hands. I know a lot of guys don't after they pee but how about number 2? Sorry for the odd question but I'm just wondering.

Thank you people who said that they wash there hands you must not get sick often and be germ free!

In public: always with soap after.

In general: Definitely after defecating,always.

I wonder if this questions relates to the one recently posted by a male asking why women are 'so obsessed about certain things' and then listed among them 'cleanliness'

Guys:

There are germs in moist hot areas of your body. When you touch those areas you get germs on your hands.

There are germs sprayed when you sneeze, so you wash your hands. There are germs sprayed when you pee. WASH your hands!

And ladies : yes, more and more women are neglecting to at least rinse after the bathroom.

I wash before I use a public bathroom because I've had to touch the dirty door knob .

At home : unless I've been doing something I only rinse and only after , but I wash with soap before cleaning my teeth or face.

I also wash my hands before and after I eat.

I don't scrub to the bone- just wet, suds, rinse. It's not that difficult. It's just like brushing your teeth or getting a meal- it's part of the human animal's upkeep.

I never get colds or flus.

I do not use hand sanitizer and I often eat with my hands so : I am not a neat freak or OCD just healthy.

[Fitzroy]

Soap is about creating bubbles that trap grease and dead skin which carry germs and then rinsing those suds off.

Just touching the doors and surfaces we touch all day in public is enough to use the bathroom visit as an excuse to rinse off all those germs.

[Asker]

This is true there are germs on everything!

[Fitzroy]

If you feel tired,grind your teeth,drool in your sleep,have itchiness in eyes,ears,nose, are gassy, not everyone has these things. They are relatively common but not healthy. They mean you need to wash your hands more and wash what you eat.

Always. Maybe I'm weird but I couldn't not, I even have to wash my hand before I eat and after. If I haven't washed them in a couple of hours then I do. Even if you think you haven't touched anything you will have come into contact with germs so just do it! Takes like 10 seconds jesus-.-

[MyNameIsJonas]

It depends. After number 2 of course. If I am just peeing then I don't need to wash my hands. My penis is actually cleaner than the average human mouth.

Let me explain: link The human mouth carries thousands of germs, around 37 different bacteria's and small organisms.

My penis however is cleaned on a daily basis (sometimes twice) and never kept confined for long periods of time. I don't need to wash my hands after I touch my penis I need to wash my hands before I touch my penis. However I would also wash my penis after a woman has put her mouth on it.

(:

[whateverdude]

if I am just urinating and touching my penis then I normally do not wash my hands but if I have to use the restroom for other reasons then I do at least for the courtesy of the other patrons in the bathroom

[Phoenix52]

I wash my hands all the time. Yes, I use soap too. Hygiene is very important to me.

As far as #2 goes, I'm thinking most actually do rinse their hands in the least. It should be a habit.

[Anonymous]

I always wash my hands really well after both. I can't stand people not doing it. Like it just totally grosses me out. I also always wash my hands before eating and try not to touch my face too much or let anyone else because I don't know where their hands have been(but I'm a bit of a germaphobe. lol).

[John83]

I always do. I think it is gross when someone does not. It makes me not even want to touch the door when the person in front of me doesn't wash their hands. I'm surprised how many people posted saying they don't wash their hands after peeing.

[taster]

Always washing after "number 2"...as you put it... is a very good idea...is practiced by me and should be by everyone...with peeing? eh..sometimes I wash before, sometimes after, sometimes both..and sometimes not at all...(:(:(:

[LexiNinja]

That's disgusting o.o you have a d*** dude.

[taster]

Yes and it is clean..which is why I sometimes wash before peeing...but thank you for your input..(:(:(:

[Malcom_Reynolds]

I can pee without washing my hands, that's not overly unsanitary, assuming no spillage, but other than that, I always wash my hands.

To answer your question of how many people don't wash their hands: Far too many.

[drummerdude25]

I always do... but like you, I notice people in public (fairly often in these situations) that just simply don't seem to care. It's disgusting.

[Anonymous]

If we are being COMPLETELY HONEST HERE. most of the time, I don't...but that's because I NEVER get anything on myself...that's gross. I always do if I am in public, but not because it's for me, it's so that other people don't think of me as weird and gross. If I'm at home...i don't wash them...i haven't touched any pee or #2, so my hands are just as clean as they were before I went to the bathroom. nuff said. that's what TOILET PAPER if for guys...i mean come on...lmao

[Asker]

Well I'm not sure how much schooling you have had but once you wipe yourself even with toilet paper there are now germs on your hands that make you sick so time to rethink what your doing!

[heathercx]

Surely when you go for a pee you come into contact with it as much as you do your poo, so why only wash your hands after number 2? Gross! Unless you touch your own crap.

[Asker]

Ya sounds to me like she won't wipe herself after she does number two or pee at all and even lets say she did not then she still is touching germs around the bathroom like the stall handle and the door this is called a dumb person!

[Opinion Owner]

well you guys are just jugdy...jeez. I'm just being honest. I know a LOT of people that don't wash their hands and the other half don't admit to not washing them...soooooo yeah. and as far as the 'germs' go...i NEVER get sick, so it's whatever. I'm not gonna argue with you guys. I wipe, I just don't wash. god. I never said I didn't wipe. learn how to read.

[Asker]

Ya but sick or not your spreading germs around. To not wash your hands after you poop just wow I mean again I'm guessing you have no education.

[Opinion Owner]

you're assuming I have no education whatsoever? yet, I'm the one who is using grammar correctly. And you know what they say, assuming makes an ass out of you and me. sorry for giving my honest opinion on the question. you asked the question, you don't have to harrass everyone who doesn't necessarily act the same way you do. that is all.

[Asker]

No its good I wanted you opinion but your not getting what I'm saying there are germs on your hands even after you wipe yourself. Feces will get stuck under the nail bed weather you see it or not. So what is your education because you didn't answer that question? If we are talking about grammar you capitalized every other word in your original statement.

[Asker]

Here is an article from a trusted source maybe then you will change your mind. link

[Opinion Owner]

I read it. I probably won't change my ways. but it's whatever. good talk, good talk. yes, this comment is heavily drenched in sarcasm. kay, bye.

[Asker]

Thats OK I respect your ways I didn't expect you to change just giving you some good insight!

[Asker]

I just hope you don't work with food and are not making my hamburgers lol

[Anonymous]

I hate seeing women leave the bathroom without washing their hands. It's their body and their nasty germs but it just makes me so uncomfortable.

[Asker]

Ya me too.

[Anonymous]

Can't control other people

But I can control what I do so when I pee I don't touch my penis but still wash my hands with soap

and when I do #2 I still do soap and water

[Anonymous]

I wash my hands after using public restrooms always.

[palek]

My father taught us all not to pee on our hands, so I never wash them after peeing. And I can't afford toilet paper so naturally I was my hands after I poop,

[jacquesvol]

[palek]

Hahahaha! ; - )

[Asker]

Wait you don't use toilet paper?

[palek]

Times are tough and toilet paper is an item I can do without. And the hand works just as well.

[Asker]

They are but in my opinion its something you can't do without. I know some very cheap people and even they buy it.

[palek]

I have a friend who's unemployed and he uses old towels and tosses them in the wash every day after he's done irrigating his bowels, but I'm not about to waste all that water.

[Bella1993]

Always. I always wash my hand well. With warm water and soap. It's gross if people don't.

[ihatework]

yuck, I wash my hands after doing either.
