    Anytime when I go to a public bathroom and someone is already in a stall or goes into one, I turn on the hand dryer to drown out the potential sound of any farthing or subsequent plops.

    Those cubicles are for doing coke, nothing for shítting you filthy animal!

    You take out your cock and hold the shaft, how is that bit of skin somehow contaminated in a way that the skin on any other part of your body is not?

    - You shower in the morning.
    - You put on boxers, jeans and go about your business.
    - Several times during the day you take your clean cock out and have a piss.

    If anything you should clean your hands before touching your cock.

    Away with your sense boy!
    Cocks are made of germs and aids, everyone knows that. That's why I wear a johnny at all times and piss through a hole in the little nipply bit!

    Gave a woman who works with me cleaning night club toiets a lift home one saturday night. Went to the pub during the week and met her son in the jacks with his fingers down his throat having a "tactical chunder", I politely refused to shake his hand while he thanked me for doing his mother a favour.

    Anyone ever eat form the communal tayto bowl on the counter more than likely laced with p from p riddled hands :eek: They did an analysis on the contents of a pub crisp bowl a few years ago and the result is that there were traces of urine on the crisps. I've never heard of anyone dying from it though.

    It's so pathetic. Has anyone seen this carry on? While at the urinal a some guy just turns the tap on and then the drier....without actually putting his hand under either.

    So he's conscious of needing to be seen be hygienic but doesn't want to bother cleaning his hands. I don't understand this behaviour, can someone please explain?



    Very good witty comment need not apply.

    I always thought the etic in men's loos when using a urinal was that you don't look at the other men there.

    I hate when I wash my hands and then someone who doesn't bother paws all over the door handle. I sometimes delay at the dryer until someone else opens the door for me.

    Don't touch the handles in the men's toilets.
    Let me guess, then you go out and buy a drink. Take the change off the bar man in your hands. God knows how many unwashed hands the money passed through. Then you open up your packet of peanuts/crisps and proceed to eat them using.....

    .... yes, your hands. Or do you live your life in a HazMat suit and rubber golves?

    I do that sometimes too!

    There is 0 point in fake washing your hands. Just do it properly or don't do it at all. The door handle is riddled with all sorts of stuff and so are most things in public that people touch but washing your hands is a simple thing you can do to be hygienic.

    I Can't be arsed using those loud hand dryers either. Just use some tissue paper or something on and be on your way... It's easier and faster. Sometimes I even use the used tissue paper I used to open the door handle if I'm feeling extra grossed out.

    Those old traditional hand dryers are naff too, they're just loud and probably make things worse on the whole bacteria spreading end of things.

    You can't win really and I'm not a germ freak, but it's pretty easy to wash your hands with some soap after you use the bathroom

    See that money you pay for your drinks with when you leave the toilet? Yeah, you might want to have a look at the germs on that first...

    The reason I wash my hands after going to the bathroom is because it's a decent interval throughout the day to was them. Hands in general are filthy so washing them a few times through out the day is a good idea, the bathroom is a convenient place to do that.

    I will admit tho, that if the bathroom is disgusting I will touch as little as possible in there, which includes the sink and drier. I don't care what anyone thinks of me as I leave, there is no way in hell me pawing all over those disgusting taps (regardless of how much soap I use) and then using a hand drier to disturb the germ infested ecosystem surrounding it will result in me being covered in less germs than if I just leave as quickly as possible.

    You've never seen a bowl on the counter with taytos in it :confused:

    I've regularly seen salted peanuts left out on bars in North America, but I've rarely seen it done in a pub in Ireland, and certainly not filled with crisps. Unlike nuts, crisps go soggy and mouldy if left out in the air and people lick their fingers when eating them.

    In the womens toilets they always wash their hands and have a close inspection of their faces to check if they need a make up or lipstick top up. There's always a nice smell, unlike the mens, that's why I only use womens toilets.

    You have clearly never been in the women's toilet

    So, to recap.

    We pee. We turn the tap on (who everyone else who's peed has touched) and then we wash our hands.

    We take these clean hands and touch the same tap again. Magic.

    And then we pass under a hand dryer to seal in all that pissy goodness.


    Shall I be honest? I've never given it too much thought. I piss, I leave. I touch my own knob (mostly the hinge end, it's not like I'm poking around under the hood) and I'm gone.

    Im still here. And so are all of my mates that I've drank with for the last 20 years.

    Jesus wept

    Most taps in public places are push button. ie, touch once.

    At home, I wash my tap while washing my hands ;)

    I have yet to meet one of those "touch once" taps that actually work, any I've used you have to push them 5/6 times or even hold them down to get enough water to wash your hands properly with.

    The motion sensor ones are slowly taking over tho, which is great.

    If your in any toilet anywhere in the world your literally eating ****e..3 words airborne faecal matter..all the hygiene prevention measures can't help you there.

    Last week i was in a toilet when enda kenny walked in, took a piss then started to walk out without washing his hands.

    I asked him if he wasnt using the taps out of penance for brining in water charges and he said "naw, man. I just got a clean dick"

    I've seen this happen often enough in my college. The ultimate cause is hand-dryers without either enough heat or (more frequently) enough power, such that in order to properly dry your hands you'd have to stand there for several minutes. Nobody has time for that and nobody wants to wander around with wet hands either.

    McDonald's on Grafton Street has the right idea, they have a Dyson hand dryer with two extremely powerful jets of air, where you slot your hands in and they get blasted by the jets from both sides and are totally crisp dry within about five seconds. The feeble hand dryers you get in most pubs would leave everyone wandering around dripping water all over the place.
