Why Don't People Wash Their Hands After Using The Bathroom?

Not lying, was drilled into me as a kid to wash your hands after going to the toot so I have always done so (being a recovering OCD person I probably wouldn't be able to handle even TRYING not to-it's second nature to me)

Yeah so that's cos of OCD not because you're a clean person you can't help OCD its not a conscious thing.
Most girls like to wipe their vagina and have a little sniff im serious it tells them if they need to do any work on it

For real ick!!!!

Incredible stupidity and crassness being shown here by some. As I noted, many of us understand that the sink faucets, door knobs, etc. in public rest rooms are full of germs. We compensate for that by using a paper towel on them after we've washed our hands. But we still wash the shit off our hands. Why don't some of you?

I'd like to know if those of you who are barbarian enough to brag about not washing your hands after using a public rest room, wash up at home? Do you use your own sinks, in your own home? Just curious.

And for those of you who maintain that we are covered in waste matter, why does this mean that we shouldn't wash our hands after taking a crap? Even discarding the logical benefits of clean hands, wouldn't you simply be repulsed by having traces of shit on your hands? If touching all you must, by necessity, touch afterwards? And what about the smell? When you raise a cup of coffee or something to your lips, wouldn't you smell that fecal matter from your earlier visit to the rest room?

I'm suspecting that at least some of you are trolls here, but still it's quite disturbing to think that people are actually defending this uncivilized conduct.

It is gross & there really is no excuse for not washing your hands especially after a shit!!!
I know my sons father doesn't bother to wash his hands after he takes a dump & it makes my skin crawl & I honestly found him repulsive to the max from that discovery day forward, it's a real turn off!!!!!

Yeah for real not all of course but many ive met do it.
Strangely enough many girls like the smell of their own vaginas and im not going to disagree with them lol

100% agree with that.

I remember reading a study once about restaurant mint bowls. A surprisingly high percentage of them contained traces of human feces carried by patrons who hadn't washed their hands.

Scrub, scrub...superbug.
"Kills 99% of known germs!" is the modern mantra, and it'll be the death of us.
Here's some advice though.
Use TP and get your shit on it. If you get some on your fingers, then wash.
Piss is pretty safe so no worries there.

Not only you should wash your hands, but also wash your ass and preferrably also shave your ass and balls too. That'll keep you clean like nothin. You get almost a spiritual joy because you are clean of the earthly matter, fecal matter that is AND hair.

Hell, half of their staff are INTENTIONALLY fucking with your food any way...

I've resolved the problem in my office by just cuting a hole in the middle of my office chair and sellotaping a carrier bag underneath. And i always pull my pants down before i sit at my desk.

That way i can easily take a dump at my desk without having to use the office bogs. The boss accepts it because it's great for productivity.

I simply wait 'till i get home to wipe my arse, and wash my hands.

...simples...

Ahhh... the art of using the public toilet and touching the least amount of contaminated surfaces possible.... hovering above the toilet seat in your best Kung Fu horse riding stance.... trying to hold your breath, or at least slow your breathing to a minimum, and then maybe even using that last piece of tissue to open the final door back to freedom!!

It is seriously gross though... and I do realize that we pick up germs from all the uncouth persons, even if we do wash our hands... but seriously it has to be better at least trying!

I wash my hands after I shit. Piss no. My piss is cleaner than anything else that I ingest during the day. I use sterile technique when handling door knobs and anything else. I try not to touch too much in the bathroom.

How else do you believe the very necessary gut microflora spreads from person to person? It's this, vaginal birth and cunnilingus.

Because its o overrated!

urine is sterile?

What I'd like to know is, who are all the mouth-breathers in this thread who can't manage the simple task of using toilet paper to wipe their ass without getting shit all over their hands?

I absolutely can't figure this one out. Don't people use enough paper? How is this possible? And if they feel fecal matter on their fingers, how can someone not wash it off?

That brought back an old memory. When I was in 7th grade hygiene class our male teacher told us to use urine to get rid of acne. The class in unison proclaimed: Ewwwwwww. He said to take a cotton ball, dip it in urine and...

None of the kids did it. Well, they didn't admit to it, at least.

Who told you people in third world countries don't care about their cleanliness? Have you been there? Style up or research your data before writing trash to the public.

yeah it's important that people understand the low levels of handwashing around at this time (combined with high levels of sodomy) and that means you don't touch your face or open wounds/cuts unless you've thoroughly washed your hands. I always wash them when I come home from being outin 'the world'. I also eat at home, my own cooking cos I know about hand washing.

What dont kill ya makes ya stronger

LOL!!!! Reminds me of the Sociology paper I had submitted while in Community college many moons ago.
Part of the study required observing and noting real time statistics and the only conclusion I came up with it was that it was indeed a fact that most humans are filthy.

Normally I wouldn't even waste my time replying to such an asinine post, but the OP has struck a nerve and someones gotta put this retard in her place...might as well be me.

OP...you post this drivel about hand washing like its the coming apocalypse and you chide those that dont wash their hands.

How dare you insinuate that people who don't wash their hands are doing so out of laziness and stupidity! Know whats lazy and stupid? People who post threads and include ZERO FACTS TO SUPPORT THEIR CLAIMS.

However, I did the research for you and to be honest...every point you have made can be refuted with a simple Google search geared towards the Science of bacteria and virus'.

I can't attach a link, but got my info from UCLA at Berkely Biology department. The same claims are echoed by WebMD as well.

First, no health organization on the planet considers toilet seats or bathrooms to be dangerous vectors of infection. Not one.

Why? Because the biology of bacteria and viruses make transmission in a bathroom setting almost impossible.
Both organisms are highly unstable when outside the body and die almost immediately.

Hep A,B,C, Herpes, Syphillis cannot be caught under any contact with any surface as those bacteria/virus' die immediately when they touch any surface that isnt a mucous membrane.

No virus,bacteria,germ can do anything unless they are in direct contact with a mucous membrane or deep cut that isnt covered. So basically, if you aren't forming lines of feces and snorting it, you won't catch anything in a bathroom.

You also dont realize how simple Biology works. So heres a quick refresher:

You would need to come into contact with a COLONY of bacteria to have even a miniscule chance of catching anything. While bathrooms have a wide variety of different organisms/microbes they do not have enough of any ONE kind to infect a healthy person.

In fact, this website says there are far bigger places to be worried about catching a bug.

You are 10,000x more likely to catch E.Coli just walking into a store and shopping for 30 mins.

You are 100,000x more likely to catch a bug....touching your childs school books.

You are 1,000,000x more likely to catch a bug touching the telephone than anything in a bathroom.

So basically, your fears are Scientifically false. In fact, I couldnt find any news of significance regarding anyone catching anything from using a bathroom. Its folk lore.

So the next time you wanna post using conjecture along with an overly smarmy attitude towards us "lazy,stupid" people, perhaps don't be so lazy and stupid yourself.

Because they have no respect for themselves or others they come in contact with.

I wash my hands before I touch my dick.

Just depends I suppose, over here a good chunk of bathrooms now have hand sensor faucets and no doors on the bathroom, just a little hallway that turns once or twice for a bit of privacy.

What really should make you worry, is the people that don't need to wash their hands because they didn't wipe...o_o
