My roommate only washes up if he poops, never after peeing. Now every time I’m in any of the common areas I have to wash my hands after touching anything I haven’t wiped down. Thus, I wash my hands twice every time I use the bathroom; once as normal and again in the kitchen because I touched the taps, light switch and door handle in the bathroom which likely have groin sweat on them… /rant

When in public:
Push door open (usually with elbow) Do business Extract paper towel, but do not grab them… Wash hands Get paper towel that has been dangling and begin to dry hands Use paper towel to get more paper towels (not touching the paper towel dispenser mechanism with skin, using the used ppr towel) Use new paper towel to secure the soiled one, and complete doing my hands, and turn off the water… Use paper towel once more to open the door out of the bathroom
Yes. Even at home. Poo particles everywhere, especially on the flusher.
Take a minute, wash your hands, smile in the mirror to make sure nothing is in your teeth. Straighten yourself up and walk out of that bathroom with your head held high. You deserve it.
How can people not wash after every trip to the restroom? I find it disgusting if I don’t do it, so you can imagine how I feel about others not doing it.
Even if I’m in a hurry, I splash them in water with a squirt of soap and quick scrub. I touch keyboards all day and my hands need to be cleaned. Never mind when I physically worked with IT equipment.
Yes. Especially at work, especially before taking a piss. See, the break room has free snacks, including hot chips. I’ve yet to make the mistake of neglecting to double wash my hands but the fear of god and caspaicin is within me.
I regret opening this thread and this completly validates me using anything but my bare hands to grab door handles.
Excellent lol. As an aside, there are cafes I do not go to just because they don’t use paper towels in their bathrooms.
Me too. One of the reasons I hate summer is I don’t usually have something with long sleeves to open shuff with.
carry hand sanitizer, but also if it’s the washroom use paper towels to open the door, and toss it on the floor beside the door if they’re stupid enough to not keep a trash can there / within reach.
I avoid certain restaurants/cafes that don’t hove paper towel in their bathrooms for this exact reason. ;-;
Of course. I am shocked people don’t. But it’s not entirely the act of peeing, it’s the fact a sink and soap are right there. It’s a good idea to wash your hands occasionally, so how about now?
This how I started looking at it. I didn’t piss on my hands and my balls have been wrapped up since my shower. But, youve touched other disgusting things, nows the time to wash them and start clean.
Every time. It’s about upkeep, not worrying whether I touched anything. Plus, I always blot with toilet paper anyway…
LIFEHACK: do both at once by pissing in your hands! it’s environmentally friendly!!!
Plus, they say pee is sterile.
It’s not, but that’s what they say!
Urine is sterile… until it hits the urethra.
It is cleaner before reaching the urethra, but not sterile.
I don’t drink enough bleach for that to be effective though!
So Penn & Teller used to do a show called Bullshit where they would investigate things and explain why the “common knowledge” on them was, well, bullshit.
In the episode on handwashing, they took samples from people’s hands, faces, and groins before and after using the bathroom. They came to the conclusion that the before/after on hands was negligible, because most people’s groins are under multiple layers of protection and don’t get exposed to germs.
What they didn’t bring up in the show is that that’s not why you wash your hands when you’re in the bathroom. It doesn’t matter if your asshole is downright sterile, because it’s everything else in the world that is filthy. You wash your hands when you’re in the bathroom because you should be washing your hands regularly throughout the day and it’s easiest to do when you’re already in the room with the soap and running water. It’s got very little to do with anything else you may be doing in the bathroom.
Yep, I’ve always thought that. It’s actually very sneaky of health officials, they are exploiting people’s perception of how filthy going to the bathroom is to get them to wash their hands more. Ends justify the means I guess…
I used to tell patients who I took to the bathroom and then I managed their peri hygiene (with gloves!) that we would still wash their hands even though they didn’t touch anything because it was just a good habit to have.
Your roommate is disgusting
Most people are
Yeah, at the very least he should lie about it.
Its crazy not to unless the bathroom sink is so gross it feels like it would be worse. What really gets me is folks don’t shower before going into the pool. ewww. I would rather have everyone take a pee in the pool than not shower before. that at least is just proteins as opposed to all the dead skin, bacteria, and oil.
Yes. Wash my hands:
- after every toilet use
- after I come in from outside
- before I eat
- after I eat
- before I sit down at my desk and touch my mouse and keyboard
- before I start playing a game with my controller(s)
- edit: oh and before/after seksytime, both with myself and the wife
First three always, fourth sometimes, definitely not the last two.
The sexy time edit makes this funnier
I should’ve probably made it a numbered list, eh
something made him remember 🤔
Aren’t your hands extremely dry from all the washing ?
I follow pretty similar standards and keep some coconut based lotion around to keep from drying my hands too much.
They are, and it’s just like I like it.
I strangely don’t need to moisturize, ever. My hands’ skin is curiously soft and smooth all year round, despite harsh and dry winter conditions during those months. Wife and kids need so many lotions and shit and I hate putting it on the kids. I want to wash the lotion off afterwards lol. But it’s good bonding so I do it anyway.
yes, of course. no exceptions. kind of disgusted by all the people in the comments admitting they don’t??? also your roommate reminds me of a roommate i used to have whom i despised and one of the reasons for that being her horrible hygiene. she admitted to pissing in our single private shower, which was shared amongst us (i had 2 roommates, so the 3 of us), and then after that called me germophobic for suggesting the idea that a shower/tub needs to be cleaned weekly??? also kept leaving piss in the toilet and never took out the trash. dont even get me started
Ahhhhhhgggghhh.gheg.h
I’ve also had roommates like that. They never admitted to it but… I could smell it… they also never took out the trash. STRANGE.
At work my hands are dirtier than my dick, I have to wash them before I pee. Come to think of it my hands are probably always dirtier than my dick because despite my best efforts I still can’t use it to open doors and not many people want to shake hands with it.
My hands are also dirtier than your dick.
Yeah, probably. Unless you’re Howie Mandel or something, and honestly even then.
