Do you........?

I think a couple of you might possibly have OCD. Yis might wanna get that checked out loike.

Always, I used to play alot of poker in a casino, pretty horrible to think of handling all the chips and cards after people haven't washed their hands. especially when u end up riffling the chips outta bordem, i used to feel like a left handed arab, playing with the chips with the right hand and eating with the left.

most families tend to keep their bathrooms cleaner than public toilets in universities or public buildings.:p

BS! Dolores doesnt come into my bathroom and clean it every 2 hours and sign the sheet on the back of the door. Most public jackses are cleaned multiple times a day, I know mine isn't.
As for handwashing, I do it out of pure habit, but thats what your immune system is for. Looking at my keyboard, its not hard to believe that it harbours more bacteria than a 3 week old sandwich (in fact thats what its partly compried of )

Yes.... only when I use the toilet. Or prepare food. I think people who over watch are leading themselves into problems! As faceman said out immune system is weakened if we over wash and use too much dissinfectant.

I work at a hospital. I wash my hands all day long after touching each patient.
And I wipe down my keyboard mouse and phone at least 3 times during my shift cuz I never know what germs I'm dealing with.

AND I wash my hands at every restroom visit.

Now if only I could sterilize the clipboards we hand to the patients in some way. Ewwwwwwww!

I mean after coming from the toilet or working wherever you work and its time for lunch etc basically wherever, there is 1 guy i know who doesnt wash his full stop no matter how black they are and when on break he tries to take a chip or two off people and the looks he gets like he has been reported already but not fired yet its sick.

What's his job?

In the process, with that powerful hose we all have , we can even do a bit of cleaning. Good aim and plenty of power can remove or at least loosen some dirt, or clear the drain of a blockage, so everything can flow away freely. Those little blue cubes often group together and form a dam, but a carefully aimed water cannon can solve that one!

i temped in crumlin hospital and got into a habit of washing my hands there

In a way I agree with WWM, my knob is fairly clean and I try not to piss on myself, so if I forget when at home, what's the problem

You know, more happens in a bathroom that urination? If you don't wash your hands, and the person before you didn't wash his hands, and it's a pretty busy bathroom, that's an infection waiting to happen.

Just because a surface looks clean, doesn't mean it is clean.

really? i didnt know that!

so, how about when you push open the door to the toilets, and your hand gets all germy, and then you tack out your tackle, and you get those germs all over your knob.

do you wash yourself afterwards?

and what about every other thing you touch.

hey, someone said there are more germs on your keyboard than on the toilet. youre sitting there getting germs everywhere. do you have a little basin for washing your hands after every sentence?

so come on, what exactly are people afraid of?

dont get me wrong, im all for cleanliness, i wash my hands out of habit more often thatn not, but if i cant be arsed, then im not going to spend hours worrying if my wrists will fall off.

you say there are germs on clean looking surfaces, there are dirtier places than toilets, and me not washing my hands after not pissing on myself is not going to make a difference.
