I get that it disgusts you. I get that washing my hands is polite because to do otherwise would potentially disgust others. It doesn't disgust me at all. Them's the breaks.

You have a pretty selfish attitude. "Fuck everyone else."
polite? It's common sense to wash your hands after handling feces >.>

If you get caught not washing your hands after pinching off a dookie loaf you should be fired on the spot.
Its not about being polite its about public health.
And that's terrifying that you can't take 30 seconds to help stop spread diseases around.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
before I say anything, I want to be very clear that people who don't wash hands absolutely disgust me. And its fucking shame that they walk among us, touching stuff that we might touch so its very important to wash your hands.
But I am quoting you because @ bold, that's is just wrong. People used to live longer before than today. Because of lot of factors. So that part is bullshit.
Hate to be the one to tell you this but hand sanitizer doesn't make the poop particles go away, or even bacteria/germs/anything else for that matter. Only good old fashioned soap and water does the trick.
Its a fucking nasty habit, they will end up rubbing shit in their eyes.
Even when I'm in the shower after a shit diggin in with soap, and I smell my finger I can taste shit. So I hit it up with a brush to get my fingernails.
Also don't even dare use the common faucets, door handles, etc. with your bare hands. use some tissue then throw it away.

I get what you're saying, but I personally think it's selfish to force other people to wash their hands just so you won't be disgusted. I don't care if other people are disgusted. Full stop.
Your posts crack me up. Can't tell if you're an expert troll or just nasty.
It's not just about disgusting, it's about not infecting other people because you are to lazy.

Pollution, Chemicals, too much processed food, radiation from all the electronics we are surrounded by. personal hygiene is definitely something that has gotten better over the years no doubt. I need to search for the actual data to show you, but this was my logical guess. And even in my family, my great grand parents, all lived 90+ years disease free. In today's standard 60-70 year is too much.

Should it be ok for a chef to take a shit at a restaurant, not wash their hands at all and then return to preparing food?
"It's only ok if *I* don't do it!"
Most of those things are better now then 30 years ago.
The problem today is weight related not really any of those.

You'll have to find me data because life expectancy has been rising steadily in the past 100 years. I am confident that life expectancy used to be much less in the past when they had incurable diseases and bad sanitation/hygiene; infant mortality rates were incredibly high.

wtf? you telling me there was more pollution, chemical use, processed food use, microwave and all the electronic use was more 30 years ago?
wait are you from future? because that would explain.
I assume someone already asked you this earlier but... how are you not disgusted by it? It's not about other people, I mean, you're perfectly fine with (for example) eating afterward cause you're essentially ingesting fecal matter by doing so >.>

Pollution and chemical use is plausible, we had a lot of bad shit in the 80s. Role of electronic use hasn't been linked to any bad health effects that I am aware of. I think you are overestimating the effect these factors have on life expectancy and vastly underestimating the effects of hygiene/medicine.

The past few years Ive gotten into this habit. After coming to the realization that people are absolutely disgusting, Ive fell into the downward spiral of a germaphobe.
If I see anyone leaving the bathroom without washing their hands I usually say some snide comment to them about it. Im a dick because I dont want your dick all over the door handle...
Well 30-40 years ago we had leaded gasoline, asbestos, leaded pain, mercury thermometers, smoking cigarettes in pretty much everywhere. And in general less regulation on pollution and harmful chemicals.
Processed food isn't some evil thing, electronics and microwaves usage pretty much does nothing so yeah it was worse in the past. As long as were talking about 1st world country today compared to 1st world country 30-40 years ago.

Do you know what food poisoning is? Imagine having immense intestinal pain while having diarrhea and possible vomiting. And do you realize that a lot of food poisoning and diseases are traced back to people who touch feces whether accidentally or not and don't wash their hands? It's not just about politeness but serious health issues that are caused by people like you.

Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long for a post like this.
I'm assuming this is sarcasm.
I hope >.>
As much fun as it is to try to link your irrational fear of processed food, "chemical use" (what does this even mean? what chemicals and where?) and microwave use (really?) to people dying, the facts do not support you.
People have been living longer and longer, hippie fears of non organic food be damned.
It's not about being disgusted. It's about getting yourself and others sick, and literally spreading disease.
This isn't germaphobia. It's one of the most simple facts of health/medicine that routinely washing your hands dramatically lessens the spread of illness.
It's beyond not caring about people's emotional reaction, you're literally showing no regard for the health or well being of anyone around you.
Too late, I've known since they came out that hand sanitizers aren't 100% effective... It's why I always use soap + water followed by the sanitizer...

What the fuck. It's not about people being disgusted. It's about the spread of bacteria and your fucking shit on people's hands and bodies.

I see what you guys are saying but lets put this differently.
A HEALTHY guy back then will live longer than a HEALTHY guy today.
You see life expectancy increased because now people don't die of small diseases as they used due to advancement in medicine and vaccinations and better health care overall. But even then I see very less people now days living healthy past 70 year of age.
But I don't have data to back my argument, this is from personal observation. So yeah.
You don't have the data because that's just factually inaccurate.
Considering the massive role proper hygiene has had in minimizing the spread of disease and improving overall health, I wonder if people who refuse to wash their hands are actually worse than vaccine deniers.
There are aspects in which modern health is worse off now than it had been in the past. The main ones are diet and exercise, which are on average much worse now. But when you compare that to the numerous advancements made in modern medicine, life expectancy is still way up.
But no, a healthy person, who regularly exercises and watches their diet, with a basic concept of hygiene, is likely to live well past his 70s, and significantly longer than a similar person 20, 40, 60, and especially 100 years ago. Plenty of people live healthy past 70, and it's not even a rarity. Your personal anecdotes about your family are statistically irrelevant.

Which is meaningless if people were getting sick far more often then.
Like... Say... Good practices in hand washing.
There's a reason for that.

A lot of people don't wash their hands nearly enough in general, but it's not so surprising when you realize that there are people who refuse to wear a seatbelt or anything else that would be a minor inconvenience for them and which could potentially prevent negative consequences for someone else. It could be some parts ignorance, apathy, or selfishness. A lot of people simply don't care if it doesn't affect them personally.

Sounds excessive bro.
Apologies if that sounds dickish, it really does sound excessive to me.
Think about it from my perspective. I've been lax on restroom hygiene for over fifteen years and have never suffered from food poisoning. I get that it's a thing, but even if I got it once, that's once in over fifteen years. I don't buy into the huge scare.
This is a good question, and one for which I don't have an answer. I don't know why I care so little and others care so much.
That's probably not something I would complain about, but I understand that others would, and I understand why, and I think you're making a false equivalence. I wash my hands before eating. I wash them before cooking for others. I wear a hair net when appropriate and possible. There are different expectations around food.
Neither. I fall ever so slightly on the wrong side of caring about washing that I end up not doing it most of the time. I'm not against washing, just don't usually care for it. I've made some exaggerated posts in here to elucidate my point, but the truth is I'm apathetic to the whole affair. The only thing I'll defend to my grave is my right to apathy.

Defense force for everything. Sigh. No surprise Docpan is on the wrong side of this.
You've never had diarrhea? Ever? Food poisoning doesn't have to be so bad that it sends you to the hospital; sometimes, it's just enough to give you the shits. Although, you can eat your own shit without consequence; your body is already used to those bacteria. By the way, would you ever tell your friends about this? That should tell you how disgusting it is. Are you lax in personal hygiene in general?
I used to work in an office with a woman who was notorious for never washing her hands. All the girls talked about it. One day there was a potluck lunch and the woman was unhappy that nobody was eating the dish she had brought. I felt bad for her so I took some, and it was only after I took a bite that I realized why nobody else was eating it. Blegh.
