Not washing hands after using the bathroom, what's your justification?

[Themius]

Well apparently I should be thankful I don't work where you do.

You’re not answering the question. Washing hands for touching skin is irrational unless you get fecal matter onto your hands.

[Coolthulhu]

After, sure... why would I wash my hands before I go to the toilet? WTF?! That's some OCD right there.

It's common sense, not OCD. You wash your hands before eating to avoid introducing all sorts of pathogens in your mouth, so why wouldn't you do the same before peeing? Is it ok to pass germs to the urinary tract, but not the mouth?

[Crillam]

Why are people getting so defensive because I ask why you don't wash after you poop? I often can tell who are people who poop and not shower during the day, because the waft of poop smell inevitably follows them around.

It sounds like you're sniffing peoples assholes like other animals do...

[Xandrigity]

Depends, some restroom sink areas seem much dirtier than I would want. If it’s clean and a touch free soap and water dispenser I probably use it, but depends on the overall cleanliness of the area.

I wash hands before and after peeing as I'm not a monkey.

WTF about showering after poos. Some folks poo out WTF people.

But it lets me climb better!

Bacteria forms on your genitals throughout the day and not the good kind. So you are not clean just becasue you didn't piss on your hands.

Name one girl that's demanded you wash your dick before sticking it in her mouth... Now you're tell me that touching it with your hands is disgusting?

[P for Pancetta]

I pee hands free, and poop in the shower.

[Phookah]

Takes me 5 minutes, and why would you ever poo in a public bathroom? You walk around for the rest of the day with a waft of poo smell floating around you, unless it's a clean one or you carry baby wipes around.

If you smell like shit all day after you poop I'd suggest seeing a doctor or practicing better hygiene. That isn't normal.

People should always wash their hands.

To quote Churchill:

Young man [after seeing Churchill leave the bathroom without washing his hands]: At Eton, they taught us to wash our hands after using the toilet.
Churchill: At Harrow, they taught us not to piss on our hands.

[SirCowdog]

I see people often shamelessly tuck their penis away then pull the door open and walk around touching everything and everyone, their hand inevitably smelling of pee and/or sweat and/or spreading their STDs everywhere.

Do any of you who do it have a justification for this other than being really lazy and/or lacking hygienic education?

Same question to people who don't shower after they poo.

Man...where I work I've seen straight up savagery.

So there I am, minding my own business taking a piss(male, btw). I finish up and head to the sink and start washing my hands. While I'm doing this, I hear the toilet flush from one of the stalls. A guy comes out of it and goes straight to the exit, getting a firm grip on the door handle on his way out. I'm sitting there with water still dripping off my hands thinking "WTF?!"

Suffice to say, I used a paper-towel to open the door when I left. Naaaaaaaasssssssty!

There is no justification not washing your hands, in my city we have an outbreak of restaurant workers having Hep A...

Waffle stomping?

[Sage89]

Eww That is gross!

[jazen]

Yes, I wash after urinating.
Yes, I try to grab a towel on the way out to open the door because many don't wash.
No, I don't shower after #2 unless I happen to be getting in the shower after.
No, I don't #2 in public places unless on vacation. Control your body, not the other way around.

[Sanguinerd]

Unless you actually pee on your hands why would you feel the need to wash them after? My hands on average are dirtier than my junk is.

I wash after doing a number two though.

[Dastreus]

i should say if i get dribble on my hand then yes i will wash that off, but my gens are far cleaner than the exposed parts of my body.

Not exposed to sunlight, your genitals are actually not that clean; covered, really.

[Lochton]

What are you spreading to begin with.

What? You don't wash your hands before and after? I'm not spreading anything but public surfaces are, especially if people aren't washing their hands.

WTF showers after shitting?!
