In the spirit of bodily functions...I remember listening to a Vietnam vet speaking about his experiences as a POW. He talked about getting an infection and not having any medicine to treat it. So, he allowed the maggots to consume the infection from the wound and then he urinated on the maggots to kill them. He said it was limb-saving treatment.

I also wash my hands periodically during the day, just 'cause they need it.
What's really gross is the guys who don't wash even if they've done more than just urinate. Thanks for spreading cholera, you guys.

Come on people! You all know guys do not wash their hands, let alone flush the toilet! How many times have you all found a special something when you gone in the public restroom? No, I do not believe your poll is accurate due to the human ability to lie to your pollisters.

Since I cook a lot too, I am always washing my hands. After I go to the bathroom, before I prepare food, before I eat. It's a good habit, and I don't get sick very often (knock wood).

Working with kids, cooking all the time, etc, my hands are washed about twenty times a day, literally. But it always amazes me the number of people who don't wash their hands when leaving the restroom, and I am a woman, so I am talking about women in public restrooms.

How can you be undecided?

the people who are undecided have ammnesia and don't remember if they wash their hands or not. ^_^

"... who don't wash even if ..."
Dittos on the gross-ness. I wonder what the mindset is for not washing one's hands?

Men don't use toilet paper...that's why they can leave those unflushed trophies for public viewing. We don't do the hovering though.

Before AND After...where was that option?

8 undecided. New Poll: Are You Alive? Yes, No, Undecided.
I'll admit, guys are gross. Here's another poll. Guys, do you sit down to pee at home, or just pee all over your wall and floor? Most guys will tell you they stand up and pee, which unvariably means splashes over the sides onto the walls and floor. Guys will even become ANGRY if you tell them they should sit down to pee at home. Just tells me that most guys PREFER to have their home treated like the men's room in a Greyhound Bus station. Unbelievable.

Is it laziness or being in a hurry that causes people not to wash their hands? Odd. Maybe they're in a hurry to shove their unwashed, urinated and fecal-matter-covered paw into the public jar of jelly beans you find around every office.
I advocate videotaped beheadings of any mug who leaves a bathroom without washing his/her hands.

Just please flush away your poop flakes. That's all I ask.
Peaty 5 years, 7 months ago
Yes, and I use the towel that I dry my hands with to open the door because of people that don't.

Hey, I'm a guy, and I always flush the toilet... and I give my hands a good splashing while the water is still circling...
tangential_reasoners_anonymous 5 years, 7 months ago
... in the sink, across the room.
Uhlrick_Hetfield_III 5 years, 7 months ago
I try not to pee on my fingers.
