I usually wash my hands before. The way I figure as long as I wash before, my penis will be the cleanest thing in the whole bathroom... j/k :p

I usually try not to touch the door handles in public restrooms....

Anyone who votes anything other than option one should be shot, IMO.

People who walk out of the bathroom in public places without washing disgust me, especially if they are in a restaurant.

I see people at work who run the water, act like they put their hands under the water (usually stay dry), get paper towel, quick wipe their still dry hands and leave. why bother if you're not going to wash them.

I'll bet its only for show when someone else is in the restroom. and in all reality, most of these people 75% or more are foreigners. just an observation.

I wash my hands after taking a dump. I don't wash them after peeing typically. I don't really see why its necessary to be honest unless you piss all over your hand or something. Its not like I'm standing their rubbing my hand all over my schlong while I'm peeing. There really isn't anything inheritantly more dirty about touching your schlong than touching anything else.

Only after a poop. Why should I wash my hands after holding my pants while standing at a urinal? Do you guys wash your hands every time you touch your pants?

Do you guys actually grab your junk when you're standing up to pee? That's just weird. I just grab my pants at the waist and yank down and it flops out. Easy.

washing is fun, helps keep my hands warm in over-air conditioned offices, and keeps your hands and nails looking clean so your co-workers don't start to think you're a dirty boy/girl.

Punchline of a old joke.


..."In the NAVY they teach us to wash our hands after we go to the bathroom! In the MARINES they teach us NOT TO PISS ON OUR HANDS!"


I'm a Marine, I don't piss on my hands! ;)

Doesn't anyone watch the Penn & Teller show on Showtime. There are a hell of a lot more germs on your kitchen counter and your face than on a toilet seat in a public restroom.

Also, urine is completely sterile and safe to drink.

1. Do your business
2. Get your paper towel ready (push the lever a few times)
3. Wash hands
4. Rip off towel
5. Wipe Hands
6. Turn off water w/ towel
7. Open door w/ towel
8. Hold door open w/ foot and throw away towel

It sounds weird but it goes pretty smoothly.

I do #7 and #8, but now I will also do #2 :)

I do the whole thing every time, except #8 is a hit or miss.

You forgot #9 - get back into your plastic bubble.

Seriously, some of you are so paranoid. Like a bunch of Adrian Monks.

Actually, it's more healthy to wash your hands BEFORE going. Your hands have FAR more germs on them than your genitals or ass.
