I gotta see the surroundings of those who choose not to wash after using the washroom. Including their mice, keyboards and computer chairs. Part of being a modern day human is practicing proper hygiene. There's a guy at work here who refuses to wash his hands in the washroom, and his keyboard is absolutely putrid, his chair is brown ( the edges are still bright orange ) and, his mouse has that thick brown gunk all over it.

Just because something doesn't disgust you, doesn't mean it isn't a hazard to the rest of the population.

 

[Earendil]

If I ever meet any of you in person, you'll forgive me if I'm hesitant to shake hands...

Does the disgust come from a religious upbringing? e.g. "cleanliness is close to godliness"
I mean, it's really not that bad, and frankly, irrational to be so disgusted about this.

My mother and my wife are both nurses. I wash my hands at least 10 times a day.

I dare one of you nasty ass M'fers, to come to my house and try to sit at the table with fecal matter crumbs on your hands, asking for a fucking biscuit.

 

[terrisus]

I'll give you the righteousness, but having access to sinks and running water to use after going to the toilet is hardly the providence of the elite in first world countries.

Running water is elitist.

I'm curious if the pro-wash side washes there hands at home, when you are alone, after taking a piss?

Or what if you are at home, alone, take a dump, and then there is no more soap in the dispenser. Are you bothered enough to get the big refillable beast from under the sink and fill the dispenser back up?

Of course I wash my hands at home. Pro-wash? No, we are normal human beings. What are you, a disgusting fucking hobo?

You would have to be severely immunocompromised to attain gastroenteritis from touching a door handle.

Edit: The only thing that's disgusting in this thread is the elitism and righteousness.

Pro wash side needs to simmer down.

Go fling shit with the monkeys in the zoo.

Don't knock it until you try it. You'd be surprised how effective throwing your own shit can be.

Umm... or so I'm told.

Why wouldn't I? I can't think of a better time to fill up a soap dispenser then when my hands are dirty and I need more soap.

Please dont call it "pro-wash" as if its some new group with an alternative new divisive view, its called "Society" and a long time we decided that not being gross was important in order to improve human interactions and health.

 

[NotDreamcast]

Fuck people who don't know how to take a leak. Why is there always a pool of piss in front of the toilet seat? FFS your dick ain't that big. Disgusting.

This.
One of the absolute worst things a person can do.

Yes, yes, yes.

Also, there's no such thing as a "pro-wash" side. There's civilized human society, and ignorant anti-science savages.

pro-wash.
I can't even.

Yeah, like it's some sort of debate with some middle ground. Jesus...

Part of being a modern day human is practicing proper hygiene. There's a guy at work here who refuses to wash his hands in the washroom, and his keyboard is absolutely putrid, his chair is brown ( the edges are still bright orange ) and, his mouse has that thick brown gunk all over it.

Ugh. That reminds me, a few months ago, I did some contractual work for a regular employer of mine, but the laptop and keyboard I had used on previous assignments had been given to another employee. On the other hand, a few other employees had been laid off, so I was given a keyboard from some dude I remembered from a past assignment. I have no idea about his bathroom hygiene, but the keyboard was so bloody filthy I didn't want to touch it.

And I'm not some princess either. My keyboard at home is a bit dirty from all the small crumbs over the years (I have a bad habit of snacking while on the computer ^^). Even if I'm careful not to spread crumbs, it still happens, and over the years they've become noticeable. Luckily they're all "dry" crumbs (like from toasts or whatever) and the rest is just dust, but even using the air cans don't help that much.

But compared to this guy's work keyboard, my home keyboard was pristine. I've never been so grossed out by a piece of computer equipment before, but I begged my supervisor to get another keyboard. Dark gunky stains (probably coffee... I hope it's coffee but that's still nasty) all over, chunks of food, etc. Fortunately my supervisor laughed in agreement when he took one look at the keyboard in question and offered another one. I have no idea how the former employee managed to spread such filth, since he didn't work there that long. *shudders*

You would have to be severely immunocompromised to attain gastroenteritis from touching a door handle.

This implies you don't give a shit about those who are immunocompromised by not washing your hands. "Eh, whatever, it's their problem I guess!"?

(Well I guess you give a shit, but you really shouldn't be passing that around.)

It's funny that you say that because I'm not worried about washing my hands after taking a dump specifically from what I learned from my microbiology class.

edit:

It doesn't imply that at all. Please leave me out of your smear campaign.

edit2:

I'll give you the righteousness, but having access to sinks and running water to use after going to the toilet is hardly the providence of the elite in first world countries.

Also Viral Gastroenteritis can easily be contracted by touching a contaminated surface and then touching your mouth.

It's the public shaming and irrational intolerance that's elitist, not the actual act of doing it. I'm not suggesting that people don't wash their hands, just that there's nothing wrong with not washing them; unless they're covered in shit, of course.

I wash my hands at home after I use the bathroom, every time. It doesn't matter if it's a pee or I just dropped a douce. I wash my hands after I change my daughter's diaper as well. Hell, I wash my hands after I pet my cat.

I'm the main food prepper in my family, so other than enjoying having clean hands, it's also probably pretty important that my hands stay relatively clean.

[hockeypuck]

The fact that not a single one of you shithands would freely admit at work in front of your colleagues, or your customers, or in a crowded room full of strangers that you don't wash your hands after using the toilet shows that you know what you're doing is not proper behavior in a modern Western society. You know you would be shamed, ostracized, and make everyone's shitlist if you admitted your deficiency of the most basic, and most important, of hygiene principles. But the anonymity of using this board gives you the freedom to admit what you wouldn't out in public. Alternatively, please stay in your room and keep interactions with the rest of society to an absolute minimum (e.g., electronically like GAF or calling 911). Or maybe you already do.

Well, yeah, you're supposed to.

Didn't your parents teach you about proper hygiene?

 

[Angelus Errare]

Man I hope you people who don't believe in washing their hands have kids.

Uh, why not? I have to pass the sink to leave the bathroom in the first place. It's literally on the way. I just have bar soap so "filling" it isn't an issue when the old one runs out.

Now I'm curious, however. If you don't wash your hands due to inconvenience, do you also not change the toilet paper when it runs out because it's a hassle? What would you do if you were on the toilet and then realized there was no paper? Do you just give up on wiping altogether?

 

[terrisus]

You know you would be shamed, ostracized, and make everyone's shitlist if you admitted your deficiency of the most basic, and most important, of hygiene principles.

Literally.

 

[impetuous_silly]

Who doesn't believe in washing their hands, and what does that have to do with their children. I'm afraid you're going to have to be more specific.

 

[MoG EclipsE]

One time when I was in college, the guy making the food in the caf was taking a piss in the urinal beside me. When he was finished he just walked out, and went back to the kitchen to cook without washing his hands. Never ate there again lol...

You're gonna probably not teach your kids basic hygiene.

[FalsettoVibe]

Wait a second.......so there people in here that are actually against washing their hands after using the restroom?

 

[mdubs]

So do you guys who don't wash your hands after taking a crap also not wash your hands after jerking off? Serious question.

[ThLunarian]

I saw this thread at 500 replies and thought "Surely the discussion has moved on to something interesting. There's no way they're still talking about hand washing. Even if some people don't do it, who would possibly publically argue that it's acceptable not to?"

...and here we are.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Proudly pro-wash

All shit-leavers must be expunged

 

[Booshka]

I don't care how well you think you wipe your ass. If you don't wash your hands there is some shit residue on your hands, fecal flakes floated ever so gently into the grooves of your fingers and hands. Then you go and touch your face, eat, touch others, with shit residue greasing all up on your hands. You're gross, at least use water if there is no soap.

This thread reinforces my habit of using a clean paper towel or the inside of my shirt to grab the door handle on my way out. I know plenty of grimey people don't wash their hands then I am touching the same handle that their shit, cum and piss hand probably touched.

 

[LordAzrael]

Proudly anti-wash. It's been weeks now.

 

[trixx]

Taking a shit in public washroom is a nono.

And if you don't wash your hands or put on sanitizer after exiting a bathroom you're nasty.

 

[terrisus]

So do you guys who don't wash your hands after taking a crap also not wash your hands after jerking off? Serious question.

Great question!

do people not wash their hands after masturbating? is anyone going to defend that?

I figured that was kind of the unspoken elephant in the room, as it were.

I also like how none of the anti-washers has answered this >.>

 

[terrisus]

I enjoy spreading my essence. What is wrong with that?

You can't make me! I like to smell my hands throughout the day.

Everybody should just calm down. Let those who want to wash their hands, let them. Those who wish to stroll free from such unnecessary details can as well.

Geez, it's like people here are disgusted by the people who wash their hands after they have taken a shit.

I kinda am. You're overcleaning yourself.

I was wondering the same thing. I know my SO doesn't wash their hands either.

People lived for thousands of years without washing their hands. Why start now?

Y'all have some very high horses. I'm fine, I'll just keep on keeping on. And shaking hands.

Holy Hell! Now thats just police state talk!

Also, no i'm not going to tell someone before i shake their hand. Their immune system is probably so weak i'm doing them a solid.

mind blown. You don't browse the internet on your phone while laying down some coil?

wow getting rowdy in the washing your hands thread. It doesn't affect you guys, let me be free.

your elitism is showing. sometimes i can't be arsed to change clothing.

Proudly anti-wash. It's been weeks now.

This has to be trolling...

When they physically feel dirty, are visually dirty, and before eating and preparing food.

 

[Booshka]

When they physically feel dirty, are visually dirty, and before eating and preparing food.

So do you never touch your face, other people, or surfaces?

 

[impetuous_silly]

You're going to have to be more specific.

 

[Nickle]

You're going to have to be more specific.

Faces are the things that are in front of our heads. Surfaces are things that you can touch. People are the ones that tell you to wash your hands.

 

[Booshka]

You're going to have to be more specific.

After you use the bathroom and don't wash your hands, you most certainly touch your face, surfaces, and sometimes other people. You most likely have whatever remnants from your bathroom trip on your hands and are now spreading it around into your nose, mouth, eyes, ears, surfaces, and to other people. This is gross and washing your hands is a simple way to solve it.

 

[reckless]

When they physically feel dirty, are visually dirty, and before eating and preparing food.

ITs almost like you can't visually see or feel bacteria, and between those hours and hours of washing your hands you touch other people and plenty of surfaces to contaminate so thanks!

I agree with everything you say except the gross part. I simply don't think microscopic particles of feces are anything to worry about, and I'm certainly not convinced that I'm putting anyone's life in danger.

Feces and Urine are waste products being expelled from your body, you shouldn't spread them around afterward by not washing.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Who doesn't believe in washing their hands, and what does that have to do with their children. I'm afraid you're going to have to be more specific.

Clearly quite a few of you don't believe in it. What does this have to do with children? Other than the fact children have a much weaker immune system than their parents, preparing your kids food with your fecal matter particles all in it isn't sanity nor is it healthy for children.
