health Do you wash your hands when you use the bathroom?

[Muffinnz 3,219]

This is disgusting! I see this in public bathrooms all the time and I hate it. I wash my hands 100% of the time in both public and private bathrooms. Please it only takes a few seconds, stay clean and healthy guys

Second, don't you hate it when people don't close the door when they use the public bathrooms? This is pretty common when I use them.

If I'm at my home, I occasionally don't wash my hands because my toilets and bathroom aren't that dirty. If it's a public restroom though, I'd definitely wash my hands because if I didn't I could get sick, especially during flu season and the months were sicknesses are going around. As for people not closing doors when they go to the bathroom, I thankfully never saw something like that happen yet.

I've called out a few guys on this but stopped when one guy aggressively said mind your own business, and the last one I was tempted to had a giant knife on his side so I thought better of it.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 40,290]

I do every time. I am not a huge germaphobe, sort of a small one, but the main thing is that I don't want any uncleanliness on my console controllers and such, so I also wash my hands before I boot any of those up as well. Basically, I wash my hands a lot.

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

Yes? I'd be worried if someone didn't wash their hands after using the bathroom. It's disgusting, especially if you live with other people.

[TBD 17,228]

um? Yes..I'd hate to see someone not washing their hands because that's just disguising and they should be ashamed. Even 5 years old knows that.

Same. Though I do wash when I’m at a relatives house too. 

[ShadowEclipse 1,209]

I think I'm the only one at school to wash my hands thoroughly. While everyone else either leaves the bathroom without washing their hands or using the water without using soap for a couple of seconds and leave the bathroom. It disgusts me to see people leave the bathroom without washing their hands after they flush the urinals or toilets considering of how much germs are on the handles of toilets/urinals and the bathroom door handle.

Complete germaphobe here.

I was my hands a lot, I dislike if, for example, there is oil on my hands (strangely I am more OK with motor oil on my hands than cooking oil). So, yes, I wash my hands after using the bathroom (or coming from outside, or touching potato chips with my hands or eating a hamburger etc).

[kinda deleted 224]

Of course I do. When I pee I have to touch my ##### to aim the toilet and to clean my #### after I poop

For sure. I was legitimately slack-jawed when my sister told me years ago that she didn't wash her hands after taking a crap. Even disregarding the germ problem, it's about maintaining good habits. 

[CheeryFox 23,811]

I wash 'em all the time! I know a lot of kids and some adults don't. It only takes a few seconds to wash-up.

[TheRockARooster 47,306]

I was my hands all of the time.

 

How can you not wash your hands?

[ShadOBabe 18,984]

Of course. Doing otherwise is gross and inconsiderate.

[Snow 5,305]

I go to the bathroom just to wash my hands a lot nowadays, lots of dust and chemicals involved in my job

[Troblems 5,609]

I have a weird thing about texture, and touching things that look like they might have an unusual one. I also have a thing about then feeling like I need to intensely need to wash my hands because I touched something. I almost never use public toilets, because gross, I don’t know where other people’s butts have been, but at home you bet I’m washing my hands, because also gross. 

[Hardway Bet 96]

Yes, and I avoid touching door handles, flushing buttons and any part of the sink with my bare hands. I'm not a huge germaphobe, but public bathrooms are disgusting and vile places.

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

Um, yes. That's like asking me if I breathe.  

I don't like germs, not even my own. 

[Cyclone 1066 3,616]

Well what did I do in the bathroom?

[Here No Longer 5,270]

Always, yep, unironically... Though I get the feeling if anyone said "no" there might be shame involved.

[Denim&Venöm 16,515]

Yes because I refuse to get sick from mine or someone else's hygenic neglegence. I don't even grab door handles with my bare hands anymore. 

[Envy 6,000]

Of course! I wash my hands very frequently otherwise, as well. I do not like feeling dirty.

[SparklingSwirls 21,261]

Yes of course. If I’ve been out touching stuff in public, I also wash my hands before I eat something with them. I haven’t gotten sick so far this fall and I’m hoping it’ll stay that way  

[Flutterstep 46,289]

I do, but not that it matters. I’m opening the same door those who didn’t wash their hands touched. 

[Rainbow Cloud 16,292]

Yeah, I always wash my hands afterwards, don't like the idea of what germs could be on my hands if I didn't.
