1. Are you speaking from personal experience, Ms. Poopyhands?
*ducking, fleeing, giggling*

2. AND HOW ABOUT THE WOMEN?
It's a universal disgusting practice, you know.

4. Are you kidding? Women are NEVER disgusting.
Ask any woman. They'll set you straight.

7. yep, the girls at work all talk about it too here in my office park
and apparently, the women's bathroom is INFINITELY more disgusting than the mens, as all of the toilet seats are covered in urine. i didn't know it til i worked here, but apparently some women hover and just aim for the hole. incredible...

12. MY WIFE AND I USED TO COMPARE NOTES...
when we worked at the same place. Women are just as bad if not worse. The disgusting part is that not washing spreads nasty stuff like hepatitis, not just colds and "stomach flu" (e coli).

20. Yeah, what the hell is with THAT?
And I am a woman, but I never even heard of people doing that until I was in my 20s! (I always wiped the seat out of habit, but) I sit, I don't give a damn, and I've never "caught anything." What kind of disgusting she-pig leaves PEE on the toilet for other people to deal with (or sit in--IIIIICK!)? Damn, even my cats at least TRY to clean up after themselves.

24. I encountered ladies rooms like that when I hung out in clubs.
I think everyone was afraid of catching something if they sat down, so they'd just squat and aim (very poorly). I got real good at holding it all night (even with a couple of beers in me) because there was no way I would sit on those seats. The thing that gets me is that it's only part of the legs and the cheeks that touch the seat; I'd say it would be pretty difficult to catch something from just sitting on a piss-free seat.

27. I've actually cleaned public bathrooms...
...both men's and ladies' (still do, for under-the-table cash), and I've got to say that women are infinitely dirtier than men in someone else's bathroom that they themselves don't have to clean. Little fingernail-sized pieces of toilet paper everywhere, more toilet paper caking the outside of the bowl, for Chrissakes, pubic hairs everywhere (is this from combing their bushes out over the bowl or something, or do they just have genital alopaecia?), long hairs in the sink. It's gross.

By contrast, the men's can is generally pretty tidy, because guys have been browbeaten by the women in their lives not to leave the bathroom a mess at home "because I have to clean it, you jerk!"

Man oh man, when it comes to public toilets, women are pretty much pigs.

6. AAARRGGHHHH!!!! I KNOW THAT RAT BASTID!!!
He's the reason everybody uses the handicapped door-opener thingy. NOBODY will touch the doorhandle.

Somebody at work hung up a sign of Mickey Mouse saying "Hey Goofy...did you wash?" on the door-- but STILL he won't wash his g0dd@mn hands. :grr:

10. But I don't piss on my hand
and rarely get caca on them, besides that I'm a keyboard jockey at home and don't give a fat rodent's behind.

25. somewhere I read/heard
Edited on Fri Mar-18-05 05:15 PM by wideopen
if you have to touch the faucet to turn on the water you may be better off NOT washing your hands because of the nasty funk on the faucet handles. Whether or not thats true I don't know,but I see the point.

edit; damn! I posted this in the wrong place and don't know how to change it.

13. Oh, almost forgot-- best story heard from a non-washer
Was in a restroom with one of those troughs in it (guys, you know what I'm talking about). Guy next to me finishes, zips and walks out.

I asked, "hey, aren't you going to wash yr hands?"

He replies, "nope, don't need to."

I say, "what d'you mean? You just got done taking a whiz..."

He says, "yeah, but I don't p!ss on my hands"

19. Exactly. That's why I do both
I know where my hands are during the day, and I sure as hell don't want them handling my gear before they get the once-over from soap and water!

34. I forget what movie this bit is from...
The late J.T. Walsh, after taking a pee, is asked by a woman if he's going to wash his hands. He says,"Honey, I wash my hands BEFORE I touch my dick." Classic. :)

22. My ex never washed, even after taking a shit. Then he'd cook our diinner
Edited on Fri Mar-18-05 05:07 PM by notmyprez
Sometimes he'd make hamburgers. Can we have a chorus of, "Eeeeuuuuuuw!" I set him straight on that real quick. But now that he lives alone, I'll bet he's doing it again.

26. I make sure I've scrubbed before preparing food
I scrub throughly before I cook, I try to get my hands as clean as the surgeon that's going to cut out someone's heart.

30. yep
my Dad taught me when I was 6 to wash before because you know where your Penis has been but you don't know where your hands have been.It may take a few more minutes but before and after is something I taught my sons.

32. all freaking day.
do you have a problem with leakage of some sort through one or more of your orifii? have you consulted with a physician regarding it..? because it sounds as if maybe it's something you should consider.

so maybe it's the right thing for you, but it just doesn't work for me.

35. Washing hands is better than the blowing hot air option,
Don't you think. I hate places that have no paper hand towels.
