I hear it's one reason why Japanese people prefer bowing to a handshake.

I too have heard that urine is generally sterile. The only way it won't be is if you've got some kind of bladder infection.
But then, you must be doing something wrong if you're getting urine all over your hands while you're in the bathroom.

Sounds good. Some day you'll wash your hands.
If it makes you feel better to think I don't wash my hands, go right ahead.

:roll:
I see that you are at a loss for words. Does that happen as much as being at a loss for rationality?

Oh wait, don't reply to that, you're done here.

If anyone's ever been to Fort Worth, washing your hands is the *last* thing you should be worried about in terms of hygiene, especially at a bar.

This is all you're worth...:roll: Now quit pretending like you wash your hands and go actually wash them.

I don't think anyone here is arguing for this guy. The guy is obviously a nut.

Agreed, I've never understood the whole idea must wash hands after urinating.

Ewww, you guys walk around with d!ck hand, that's a stabbable offense nowadays.

You should do it out of respect for the people you're dealing with, not because you don't think it's dirty.

I'm gonna go catch crabs, find you both, and shake your hands.

Would you piss in your own mouth?

No... what does that have to do with this?

Just because you pee all over your hands doesn't mean we all do.

I'm absolutely speechless at this thread. I didn't realise there were real life, adult males who genuinely thought it's okay to not watch your hands after pissing. You people disgust me.

No, but that's because it probably tastes lousy.
But then, so does isopropyl rubbing alcohol, and it's quite germ-free.


I would wager that most of the time, someone's penis is probably cleaner than their hands. Hands are out and about, touching everything. A penis, well, it generally shouldn't go doing that.

LOL, that's the funniest thing I've ever heard.

I only wash my hands if I get something on them, otherwise, they is clean.

Contaminating door handles with what?
Listen, apparently soap and water are very painful to apply on your hands and you want to avoid doing it as much as possible, but seriously, quit being nasty and wash your hands. It's disgusting.

If you still need an answer to your question, please refer to irishScott's post. Maybe you can ask the person that conducted the 20/20 investigation what it's contaminated with.
Why can't you answer a simple question?
Why can't you be a good boy and wash your hands?
Why are you responding to a question with a question?
Because I don't feel like wasting anymore time with you? You obviously don't want to wash your hands, so what's the point? If you can't understand why not washing your hands is nasty by now, there's no sense in me discussing this any further with you. You just keep being nasty, and I'll keep washing me hands, ok?

Seriously, I can't believe I'm arguing about this with someone who seems to be older than 10 yrs old.
No, it's not that you don't feel like wasting any more time, it's that you don't have an answer.

Have you backed up any of your arguments with facts?

1) You claim that it is non-hygienic to not wash one's hands after urination.

It's only non-hygienic if harmful bacteria/viruses are on your penis, assuming you touch nothing else inside the washroom. We don't know for sure if there are, but if there are, wouldn't you catch whatever it is? I mean, it's a penis, right? May as well dunk it in isopropyl alcohol and then throw on a condom.

I was going to make a numbered list of your arguments, but this is the only real one I could find. The others sound more like:

2) You don't wash your hands? Didn't your momma teach you basic hygiene?
3) Well, if you think not washing your hands after pissing is alright, may as well not wash after you take a sh1t, too

This one cannot be considered a real argument as it is based on a logical fallacy, FYI.

4) You're freaking nasty
5) I'd like to hang a sign up in the office... We'll see how many people want to shake your hand. (Ed: I'd point out the fallacy but I don't even see the point of the statement)
6) Listen, apparently soap and water are very painful to apply on your hands and you want to avoid doing it as much as possible, but seriously, quit being nasty and wash your hands. It's disgusting.

All emotion, no logic. I like how you said soap and water were painful to me; that was a nice touch.

I realized a long time ago that intelligent debate on this board was impossible, but I hoped this time would be different. Nope, just ended up with a guy who doesn't think and patronizes me like there's no tomorrow.

Wow, i can't beleive someone is trying to have an intelligent debate about why you don't need to wash your hands after you piss :confused: It is quite disgusting, I'm with Jack on this, I wash my hands everytime and use paper towels/foot/elbow to open the doors etc. takes all of 30 seconds extra....

I always wash my hands! :thumbsup:

But this reminds me of a joke; I inserted the names of the guys from the story in here.

Eric Jennings Kisiah: Where I come from they teach us to wash our hands after we pee.

Morgan Jackson: Where I come from they teach us not to pee on our hands.

^ I'm with these guys.


Same here. When in a bar bathroom, I tend to operate everything with my feet.
