why do people do this?

[michaelsslave]

today is really the only day ive noticed this, but ive seen about 10 people throughout the day that will fake wash their hands. by that i mean, they will get their hands wet then scrub their hands and then dry them...without using soap. and yes im 100% they are not using soap, has anyone else noticed this?

Moved to OT from PC Gaming -Oak

 

[Beev]

People do it all the time in bathroom here at work.

 

[KeithTalent]

I find it better than not washing them at all though. However, if you are going to bother to get your hands wet, why not just put a little freaking soap on them too?

What gets my goat is that you always have to pull the door open to get OUT of a washroom/toilet so making your washing of the hands completly useless. if you could open the door out at least you wouldnt have to grab the same handle 300 other people used without washing there hands to get out.....EwwWWWwwWWWw.

but my dad actually stands near the door and waits for somone to come in and then walks out, or uses a paper towel to grab the handle.

of all the places you should have automatic doors.

Because, unlike you, they actually passed high school chemistry.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap

Soaps are useful for cleaning because soap molecules attach readily to both nonpolar molecules (such as grease or oil) and polar molecules (such as water). Although grease will normally adhere to skin or clothing, the soap molecules can attach to it as a "handle" and make it easier to rinse away. Applied to a soiled surface, soapy water effectively holds particles in suspension so the whole of it can be rinsed off with clean water.

(fatty end) :CH3-(CH2)n - COONa: (water soluble end)

The hydrocarbon ("fatty") portion dissolves dirt and oils, while the ionic end makes it soluble in water. Therefore, it allows water to remove normally-insoluble matter by emulsification.

Basically how it works is that soap is a long chain carboxylic acid where the acid part has been pulled off with either sodium or potassium hydroxide in order to make one end ionic while the rest of the molecule is nonpolar. The nonpolar end sticks to grease, and the polar end sticks to water. Here you're talking about washing your hands in the bathroom to remove what is presumably urine. How exactly did the urine leave your body? Oh, that's right, it was in water, because everything in urine is soluble in water. If it's already soluble enough to leave your body, why the hell are you trying to use an emulsifier on it?

Chemistry should be mandatory before you're even allowed to vote or drive. Seriously.

Did YOU pass chemistry? Soap also works by lowering the surface tension of water; thus making it more effective for washing away both oil-based AND water-based contaminants.

Tap water is, to a certain extent. It's due to all the chlorination required to sanitize the water.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

When I pee, I don't care. Urine is perfectly sterile. I just need to get off any micro drops that got on my hands, so i just rinse them. Then I'm fine. When I use the toilet, I always wash my hands with soap.

Considering that antibacterial soap is bad for society as a whole and moderately bad for individuals, I'd certainly hope they're not putting that crap in water.

OP: OCD much?

 

[TehMac]

I would use soap, but my school never has any.

Jesus tits, I've never seen someone act so proud and intellectually stuck up when referencing info they pulled off Wikipedia.

Also, while you might know your chemistry I've got $20 that says you have no idea how to make love to a woman which, in my opinion, should be another prerequisite for voting and driving. Now are you sure your want to start tacking additional requirements on to those two things? Thought not.

So, you'd be okay if I pissed on your hands before you eat then?

if he said yes why would you care, his food going in his mouth

If anything, you should wash your hands BEFORE you pee.
Think about it. The last time you touched your unit was when you got out of the shower. It is clean. Your hands are probably not that clean. So, your unit will remain clean if you wash your hands before touching it.
Also, I don't pee on my hands.

A better question is why are all of these people peeing on their hands? :Q

That is the reply that is needed

Don't pee on your hands
Keep your peepee clean too

The FDA would prefer that you NOT use antibacterial soap. Grow a set of balls, let those germs in so your body can kick their asses and strengthen your immune system.

I don't think the pink soap that is used in most public restrooms is antibacterial, but I could be wrong.

lol always reminds me of what george Carlis said about this, something like if you need to be washing your hands after yo utouch your dick then you out to be washing your dick also, and wouldent it be great seing someone drying themselfs on one of those air blowers
