if you have-to-pee and you know it wash your hands?

I wash afterwards because it’s a social norm, and it would probably disturb people if I didn’t, but do you really want to touch your “stuff” with the your dirty hands that have been touching everything else all day? You wouldn’t touch your food with those hands…

Now let’s skip to after the activity… you wash your hands to rid them of , which involves touching at tap that everyone else touched right after doing their thing, then you wash and rinse your hands, then TOUCH THE TAP AGAIN – surely whatever you were planning on washing off your hands was just deposited on the tap prior to your wash, then “picked up” as you turned the tap off?

I don’t wash my hands before or after. You see the taps are full of millions of germs as everyone has had to touch them all day long. People may possibly have urine on their hands and they then go and touch the tap to open it. They wash their hands = clean hands. They then have to switch of the tap = dirty hands again. So whats the point? There is proof that you catch more germs from washing your hands in these bathrooms than not. If you however touch the door handles, grab the toilet flushing lever with a nice full grip, and touch everything else in the bathroom, then washing your hands will probably be better than not. On the whole I try not to touch anything in the bathroom but my junk. I use toilet paper to close the cubicle, try kicking the door open – basically doing a Howard Hughes in the bathroom. If I do touch my junk, I’m not going to be catching any germs I don’t already have from myself. If I touch the filthy taps – then who knows what vile disease I might catch. The solution would be to install those automatic taps where they go off when you put your hands under them.
