i am trying to get a feel for this information i have read, which suggests that women will almost never use their hand while men will almost always use their hand to flush.
if you dont flush at all, then it sort of falls outside the scope of the information i was looking for.
Based upon the number of guys I have seen leaving the restroom without washing their hands I tend to agree with you.

The trick is to use your elbow to get paper towels after you wash your hands. Then you use the towels to turn off the water and open the door before throwing it away. I don't always go to that extreme.
I don't either...I do it all but the door thing! Most places don't have doors anyhow, they have that little "round about thing!"

Do what I do, take the paper towel with you, open it with it, put your foot in the door then toss the paper towel in teh garbage. BTW I use my foot. I try not to crap in public restrooms unless I'm either at work or at the college here, both have decently clean restrooms. I only do it otherwise under extreme conditions :x

I see we've got a whole slew of Howard Hughes wannabes on ATOT. I flush with my hand and wash up afterwards if needed.

WTF? If you use a public restroom...there should be no "if needed" ..go wash your damn hands you sick fvck. You are one of the reasons I use paper towels to open the door on the way out....can't tell you how many douche bags ive seen just walk out of the stall and keep going right out the door w/o washing.

If its a reasonably clean work bathroom, I'd just go 'fvck it' and use the hand. Its really a moot point on dirty ones since I refuse to take a dump in the average bar or resturant bathroom. I'll just sh|t my pants instead.
But I voted foot, since I use my elbows to flush urinals in those circumstances, and often decide that not washing my hands after peeing is the more sanitary option than touching the faucet handle to wash them.

You do realize that urine is sterile, right? Unless I piss all over my hands, I'm not going to bother washing my hands or wiping them off.
I wash my hands after taking a dump, however. That's a completely different story.
I thought thats what we were talking about...public restroom stalls? I assumed you were talking about not washing after coming out of the stall...
My illogical psychological quirk is that if it's a bathroom where I know everyone who uses it (like at work or a friend's house or something), no problem using my hand. It's only when anonymous strangers use it (like at a restaurant or grocery store or mall or something), I use my foot (unless it's obviously just been cleaned.)
What we have here is a failure to communicate, evidently.
Just to clear things up:
If I'm taking a leak in my bathroom or a public bathroom, I usually don't stop to wash my hands unless I get piss all over them or something, in which case I'd want to rinse it off and dry my hands so I don't smell like piss.
If I'm taking a dump, I wash my hands regardless of where I am. No question there.
Finally, a couple of tidbits for you to think upon: Keyboards are dirtier than toilets.
Not to mention, toilets also are capable of spraying a fine mist over everything in the bathroom. Yes, that means your toothbrush may have fecal coliform bacteria on it. Yum.
Enjoy your next bathroom experience!
Your hand touches your junk, you wash your hands. And people wonder why I am disgusted at the idea of shaking other people's hands.

I guess so...my fault for assuming.
I personally think people should wash their hands reguardless, but what makes me PO'd is when people come out of the stalls and walk out.
