Do you still wash your hands after using the bathroom if you don't touch anything?

if you really want to save time, piss in the sink while washing your hands and shit in the shower and waffle stomp your problems away
 
GAF threads are solely what made me not touch door handles if I can manage it and also to wash my hands as soon as I can after shaking hands with someone.

You make such meaningful impacts on my life, GAF.

I can't take a leak anywhere that doesn't have both running water and soap.

Partially why I've never publicly urinated.

Yes, this is me as well.
I have hand sanitizer in my man-bag, but that's not enough for going to the bathroom. (Or touching people's disgusting hands).

No I'm judging by them having shit or blood on them. Which was the original conceit.

Um. You don't see the shit and blood on them. But they've done tests and they find all of that on money. Once again, you are naive if you think you can just look at the money to see if it is dirty. It's money, assume it is nasty cause it usually is unless it's brand new.

This is why I always wash my hands after handling money.

I always wash my hands when I first enter my home too.

I'm at my job cashiering. They aren't going to let me run to the bathroom to wash my hands every time some one pays with money. I do so when I go on break or go home though.

Like, yeah, of course wash your hands.
But you lot are weird, no reason to be so completely obsessed by it.
Nobody is getting ill because of a tiny little bit of piss.

That's different though, because there are traces of anything on anything. You were saying about customers passing you shitty and bloody money. If you didn't actually mean that, and meant all money might have some traces of germs then that's true for anything in public. You are safe to assume that anything in public is nasry, but there are levels of risk involved where something visibly having blood or shit on it is nastier.

Like I said, I have worked as a cashier and I have actually had visibly shitty and bloody money handed to me, so lease stop patronising me with this "naive" bullshit because you clearly weren't talking about money having actual blood or shit on it.

People who would be grossed out at their cashier not washing their hands after they used the restroom amuse me. Those cashiers have been handling money so I gaurentee you washing hands or not their hands are gross (we don't get a chance to wash out hands while on duty). It's why as a cashier I always wash my hands at each break and after my shift is done.

And why you should just want that fast food employee to wear new gloves when handling your food as they are also handling money.

Money has poop, pee, drugs, blood and who knows what else on it.

Though with most people paying by cards these days at least I handle less money.

Yeah, I always prefer hand sanitizers, but I wash. Though, I will say the idea of money and change bothers me more when I have really thought about its exchange, getting moldy coins, etc. I mean, I think urine is supposed to be sterile right? Like you're supposed to pee on a jelly fish sting? Or something? Bear Grylls seems to find every excuse to consume it.

What do you all do when you're traveling to countries that don't have sinks?

Yes.

It doesn't hurt to clean a bit extra in an environment populated by numerous unknowns.

It's precaution more than anything.
