Rant: Not washing hands after using bathroom

[J0hnny]

Ok, I'm usually not peeved by people not washing their hands after a tinkle, but today, while I was taking my #2, the person in the next stall finished first, flushed and proceeded straight to the door (opened it with his dirty hands!). It's even worse because the door requires persons on the inside of the bathroom to pull inwards so we can't even kick the door open.

And yes, I heard all of this because when the faucet is turned on, it's loud enough to hear.

So damn gross....

 

[toekramp]

use a paper towel to open the door? i always do (if it isn't a blowdry your hands only option)

 

[dighn]

oh no now you've done it...

 

[Krazy4Real]

Yea, I've seen that before. It's pretty disgusting, but what can you do.

 

[krunchykrome]

It's a peeve of mine also. Also, I don't know how some men manage to piss all over the toilet seat. Jesus, we're professional adults here.

Anyways, I don't remember the last time I've opened a bathroom door without using a paper towel; and if there are no paper towels available, I use toilet paper. And if there is no trash can near the door, the paper goes on the floor.

Also, this reminds me of my friend. He doesnt wash his hands ever in the bathroom. It doesnt matter if it's #1 or #2. How do I know this? Because as soon as we hear a flush, the door opens and he walks out. It's disgusting. Im soo bothered by it that when he finishes using the bathroom in my house, I say I have to use the bathroom. Then I'll clean the door handles, light switch, etc with cleaning wipes.

And another thing....I have developed pretty good balance standing on one foot. I flush the toilet with my foot.

This is exactly why I'm creeped out by public bathrooms. Even if he did wash his hands - would he have wiped off what he touched BEFORE washing? The lock on the stall? The faucet? The flush mechanism (hooray for sensor-flushes!)

Haha, I'm not anal enough to go find toilet paper to open the door with when there isn't any paper towels left!

That gets me too krunchy. I mean if your @#$% faced drunk its one thing to hit the hole, but if you are sober or just midly buzzed, come on. It ain't that hard.

Just wait till you guys are married, your wife complains about you leaving the toilet seat up.

 

[j00fek]

this might be why they installed hand sanitizer all over the building in the past week... here

 

[steppinthrax]

In this hospital that I work at we have an Infection Control Coordinator. Simply someone hired to deal with these type of things. He promotes handwashing everywhere. Installing hand sanitizer pumps around the hospital and deals with hospital related infections. Because you actually have a higher chance of getting sick at a hospital then anywhere else.

There's even social 'pressure' for you not to wash your hands. Here at work, I've been asked if I'm "getting ready for surgery" cause I actually wash my freaking hands properly. Everyone else: push soap, lather for 2 seconds, rince for 3 seconds, dry, walk out. I'll admit I'm a bit excessive when using soap (long rinse cause soap takes a while to get off), but now I don't bother with soap to stick it to 'em.

 

[Dacalo]

I always use paper towels to open doors.

 

[Aikouka]

I didn't wash my hands today just for you :heart:

There are some paranoid people here.

You want to know when I wash my hands? When I get poo or urine on them. All you have to do is not piss or crap all over yourself, it is not that hard.

 

[jtvang125]

There's a few times when I'm in there and I can hear the person come in, wash their hands, do their thing and walk out.

 

[JujuFish]

There's a reason I avoid public bathrooms if at all possible.

QFT and I'll do you one better. If I go to a McDonalds or Wendy's and I even suspicion that they might have a hand dryer instead of paper towels, I will grab some napkins and bring them in with me.

My brother is worse - I have seen him put a paper towel in his pocket before leaving home - just in case.

The worst is seeing Cafeteria workers doing air hankies into the sink right before lunch time.

Gross story alert...

I have a friend who had kidney problems as a kid, so he was rewired to take a liquid dump. So he ONLY sits for all bathroom functions. He's been a friend since the 2nd grade, so I cut him a lot of slack, because he is a strange guy. He NEVER washes his hands... Ever. For any reason that I've ever seen.

Because of his problems he goes to the bathroom A LOT. He comes over for my poker parties and I'm always kinda skeeved out by the hand washing, and one time, he went to the bathroom, didn't wash, went straight for the Cheeto bag, dipped his hands in there and handled them all (!!!), and then PROCEEDED TO LICK HIS FINGERS CLEAN WHEN HE WAS DONE!

My OCD FTL!!!!

Then again, is being freaked out by traces of feces on the hands/cards/doorhandles/snack/his mouth really OCD?
