Always wash your hands.

1. You still need to open the door
2. You might need to touch the faucet
3. The air in there is just gross in general
4. You probably touched your junk (I don't care what anyone says how clean their junk is...like any part of your body, it gets dirty
5. It's a courtesy for others
How do you avoid breathing all the germs floating in the air?

1 - I use my foot to kick the door open. That's why they have kick panels on the bottom.

2 - No need to touch the faucet.

3 - The air in there isn't any more gross than any other air, and there's not much you can do about that anyway.

4 - Usually I don't need to touch it, but even if so, it's cleaner than the handles and shit in there.

5 - So making my hands dirtier than they otherwise would be is a courtesy for others? Bullshit.
 
wtf kind of question is this? of course you must wash your hands. thats disgusting you would not after touching your junk. even though you don't mind having your penis germs on your hands, what about the things you touch with your hands afterward.

Here is a hint:
1.remove paper towels first
2.turn on fawcet with paper towel.
3.wash hands
4.dry hands with paper towel
5.save paper towel so you can open door with paper towel

c'mon people, not that hard. wash yo hands!

i guess i've been a germaphobe ever since I took a microbiology lab

But you touched the faucet with the paper towel, that faucet has everybody's junk funk and germs on it. And THEN you touched your hands with the paper towel.

OMG! Cross contamination!
 
As George Carlin's joke once went, I'm a lot more comfortable with where my dick has been than everything else that can be touched in the bathroom. I prefer washing before, in fact.
I mainly wash due to the splashback from our welfare urinals. Out in the wilderness where there's no chance of spray, no reason to wash.
 
Kind of the same way myself. I do not touch anything if I don't have to. I use my foot to flush the toilets too, I wont wash if the faucets are discusting or they don't have papertowels that are automatic. I figure my dick is a lot cleaner than the shit I'd be touching afterwords....


This, if I can help it, I still do wash my hands.
 
kicking the handle is why the damn toilet is always broken


edit: some obsessive compulsive a-hole on this floor does the whole open the door with paper towel thing, and then proceeds to throw the towel on the floor next to the bin. can't get it in the bin. just on the floor.

PEOPLE WHO KICK THE TOILET --> DEATH PENALTY


I always flush with my feet too. I don't kick it. I gently push it with my foot.
 
washing my hands helps keep me from getting sick. ill take the opportunity to wash them whenever im in the bathroom, regardless of what junk has been touched.
 
at my job there are 2 doors to get into the bathroom, not sure why, but there is 1 door, then like a 5 foot space before the next door.

when exiting, some people will take a paper towel, open the first door with the towel covering the handle, open the 2nd door with the towel covering the handle, and then just throw the paper towel on the ground in the middle area.

this shit really pisses me off that fucking lazy fucks cant throw it away at their desk or just grab the fucking handle with your hands. buncha inconsiderate assholes. there is usually like 10-12 paper towels on the ground by the end of the day.

They don't want to hold or touch the icky paper towel any longer than they have to.

It's a serious mental disorder.
 
Every single person who votes no should be killed.

Rubbing your dick sweat on everything might have been funny when you're 5, but it's not funny when you're an adult.
getting your dick sweat on everything (including the door handle) --> death penalty

You obviously haven't tried my Pandeistic dick sweat yet.

And can you guess what cures it? Bullet to the b_ _ _ _.


I always open the handle with paper towel because of retards who don't wash their hands, but at least I take it to my desk garbage can.
 
You should wash before and after pissing. For all you know you may have a bacterial infection that you are spreading around after you piss and don't wash.

It is common courtesy. How would you feel if you walked into the bathroom and saw me rubbing my dick on the door handle? How do you feel if a food worker making your burger has the same "I didn't piss on my hands so I don't need to wash harharharhar!" mind set?

Wash your goddamn hands. It isn't so much for you as it is for the rest of us.

I don't touch my dick when pissing nor do I piss on my hands. Learn how to use the restroom and there is no need to wash your hands. I see little girly men fussing with their junk, wriggling it through a maze of clothing/underwear to tinkle and hug the urinal, look like a damn 7 year old.

Unbutton, unbuckle, pull front of underwear down, let junk fall out, piss.
Use underwear to toss junk back up and in, zip, button, buckle.

If you're fondling or touching your dick when you piss you're doing it wrong.

This reminds me of a guy last week who was taking a wizz in a floor urinal next to me complaining about not wearing shorts with bare feet and sandals to take a wizz in the urinal next time, LOL.

He goes " Note to self, shorts and sandals are a bad idea using a urinal. " LOL

I just blurted out laughing, since I had the higher urinal that didn't splash back all over my shoes and pants.

And I too use my feet or a paper towel to flush the loo.

And where is the option for only if I get wizz on my fingers? LOL

I do a very quick scrub down with water after #1, with soap for #2.

Sometimes I have to wash my hands before going to the bathroom. The perils of working in a MoBio lab, after all.

Oh, and during flu season, use soap every time.

I always use my foot to flush the toilet, too.

LOL. How many times do you go to the bathroom? How many times do you wash your hands in a day? During the course of a day, it's probably the most convenient time to wash one's hand(unless you don't believe in having clean hands during the day). Or be just be disgusting like Spidey who doesn't even wash his hands when he drops a deuce.
 
How do you avoid breathing all the germs floating in the air?

You can't, but at least by washing your hands (which doesn't take but 5-10 seconds) can at least keep your hands clean.

The sacrifice of 5-10 seconds is GREATLY outweighed by the benefits of having clean hands.
