You clean up your hands. You turn off the tap, and touch a turdy tap (not just yours, but everyone elses who has used the tap). You then open the door to leave the toilet, and touch a handle that someone else has touched after taking a dump and not washed their hands. So, where was the benefit of washing your hands? |

In Asia they always wash their hands because their food is all off gross shit. In India they don't bother because they all already have salmonella from eating cow turds. |

They should make all public washroom doors push open, outward from inside, so you can push them open with your foot instead of touching them with freshly washed hands. It's true though, nothing's going to happen to you from opening the movie theater bathroom door. It's mainly food and beverage handlers that need to be vigilant in their hand washing. You wouldn't want to lose your business money because you got people sick after not washing your own poo off your fingers. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16932400 The video was a dramatization where you have to watch what he's doing and see where he makes mistakes. It's just illustrating that it's possible you could give people you serve Hep A if you don't wash up after shitting. I get that there's millions of shit particles everywhere, but washing up isn't going to hurt either. There's no really good reason to take an anti-washing hands after shitting stance. |

Only a little now but 8 or so years ago I was shocking!!! I used to wash my hands about 50 times a day because I worked on cars and even after hand cleaner the stink of the petrol infected grease and oil made me feel sick. Now I don't work on cars much anymore I only wash my hands about 10 times a day. |

sci fi girl (OP) User ID: 395654 United States 10/02/2012 05:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The ridiculous rationales used here to excuse not washing hands after bathroom use are perhaps even more unbelievable than the nonwashing itself. People have learned to use paper towels to touch anything in the bathroom, including the door knob, after they wash their hands, so the "everything is dirty-germs are everywhere" mantra is about as lame as it gets. Using this logic, why would you ever wash your hands at all? Leave oil, or paint, or whatever, on your hands, because, what is the point of washing them when everything you touch is dirty? The "we survived for centuries" without washing makes no sense. Yes, we did, and this helped produce black plagues, fevers and other childhood diseases that were only eradicated when humans invented soap and discovered that combined with water, it served an important purpose. It's also incredible that we have intelligent people now admitting they don't wash their hands, even after taking a crap, and feeling comfortable in doing so. Where is the shame even a small child used to feel, when caught with filthy hands? Doesn't the smell bother you? Do you even bother to wash before eating? If you have kids, what do you tell them? Just leave out any reference to hand washing? Do your kids ever ask what the bathroom sink is for? Really, people, this is basic existence 101. And why wipe after taking a dump, anyway? Isn't not wiping, or not flushing the toilet, part of the same incomprehensible line of logic? I think this disturbing trend can be attributed primarily to the increasing laziness and general stupidity of the public. We have become an idiocracy. |
