I was coming from a germ avoidance perspective. I've never personally known a gay person that avoided handshakes. Unless they also happened to be a germophobe.

Ah, fair enough, sorry I jumped to the wrong conclusion, I'm not a germophobe, but gross is gross.

You don't use those lovely horseshoe shaped tissue things "provided by the management for your protection"? LOL!

Also, the hospital that just shut down its surgery rooms for the brain disease outbreak is an example of some procedures not even being enough for prevention of some disease spread.

Around here we just have hospital staff shooting themselves up with half of your narcotics and then sticking you with the needle afterward. Who needs sanitary procedures? ;)

(Two high profile cases at two different hospitals. You'd think with our pot legalization they'd just so that and then come into the OR totally high instead of stealing narcotics in a highly documented environment.)

Totally uncalled for.

Girls wipe their holy areas. Can't do that hands free.

I knew one who didn't... NASTY. Total hippie chick.

But the real question the thread hasn't hit upon yet is whether or not you wash your hands after touching the stripper pole. This thread is slacking on a Friday. Sheesh. ;)
 
#1 = quick rinse, usually no soap

#2 = soap and water washing
 
Wow, investigating this further, you would be surprised at how much stuff is out there on the Internet regarding women wiping their privates. There's even goats and donkeys and sometimes even horses involved as well.

This.

I have been in MOST,IF NOT ALL, public restrooms where I am pretty sure my junk is cleaner than any surface in the room...including the faucet!

LOL I wouldn't know. She bragged about it. I didn't go there.

Karen and I are those annoying quintessential high school sweethearts and we broke up for a short while in college but were well married by the time dirty hippie chick was met years later at a group party for someone's birthday or somesuch.

Someone in the group was dating her. It didn't last long. She didn't "mingle" too well in a large crowd of people who had jobs. Haha.

Dare I ask why you were investigating further? ewwwww

Nope, just recently seen the affects of not washing hands at an assisted living facility. About 30 cases of norovirus. Joke all you want, but now you know, so a person is a douche bag if they don't wash their hands. :)

Someone stuck their hand down around their toilet area and infected 30 people with norovirus? Forget hands, we need to wash our junk more often. Attack the source!!!
 
Cmon man I know where my pee tommy has been, I don't...wait, ok yea I better wash twice.

Seriously though, I use a towel on the handle of the door going out, which, why do the doors always swing into the restroom where you have to pull the door open, instead of pushing out so you can push it open on the way out.

Over-washing with anti-bacterial soaps is actually WORSE for society because it breeds super-bacteria resistant to being killed.

Over-washing can dry out the skin (by removing fats) and then it cracks and bacteria get in...
 
Every time,because the sign says too.
 
Yeah. I'm washing. And turning off any faucets/opening any doors with the single use paper towels. Not just for this virus. No problem with being called OCD, or whatever!

I figure my pecker is about the cleanest thing I touch all day. I don't know about you other fellas, but I generally handle the thing with a thumb and fingertip or two for about 15-30 seconds at a time. I can't see how that's particularly nasty compared to anything else we touch. I guarantee you a keyboard, a door knob, a steering wheel, the water cooler button, the fridge handle, etc. has more bugs on it than ol' peter. Of course I always wash up after dropping a deuce.

P.S. Although you scrub and rinse after touching it, the soap handle has got to be one of the nastiest thing the average person touches in a day. You can almost guarantee that everybody that has had their hand on, in, and around their hiney hole has touched that afterward.
 
I am voting that this thread be named one of the top 5 nastiest POA posts. :rolleyes:

Is that like the 3 second rule when you drop a twinkie?
 
Design Mom blog (wife follows it) had a piece on a couple living out of a van and raising their toddler there. She makes smoothies in the gas station restrooms because they have electricity. Ugh. But it's in Canada. Is that better???
 
I wash my hands every time...

But still...

The germaphobia expressed here is hilarious!

A lot of public toilets (outside of the south anyway) are no nastier than...

Say...

The shopping cart at the local grocery store that you're putting your food in and was just used by a mother who let her kid kid ride around in that cart...a kid who needed a diaper change.

Or worse, I've actually seen mothers change their kid's diaper out in the parking lot...in the grocery cart.

You can't run, you can't hide!
 

Apparently this guy does this regularly and has for years and posts it on YT.
 
I keep my chute and hose clean, and I don't tinkle on my hands. If the facility is nice, I rinse after #1, and use soap after #2. If it isn't so nice, I'm not touching anything I don't have too. I've got wet wipes in the truck, the plane, my office, my wife's purse... I know I'm careful about my stuff, but I don't know about the rest of the world.

However, I NEVER touch toilet flush handles. That's what my foot is for.
 
yay for infrared soap/water/paper dispensers and doorless mensroom entries

I don't know what that is considered an insult. I equate the term to "playground cleaner", and how can that be a bad thing?

I didn't actually try to change my display name to "douche bag." I just wanted to see if someone else would do it.

You are f'n gross if you don't wash your hands after using the bathroom. Nasty bacteria can find it's way from your nether regions to your junk during your daily activities. Then you handle your junk and you now infect everything you touch, spreading your filth everywhere. Most people who unwittingly pick up your filth and have normal immune systems are not adversely affected. Others, such as elderly, very young, those who are immunosuppressed or otherwise vulnerable could potentially be made very sick or worse by this sort of stupidity and laziness, not washing your hands. Think of others and the world will become a better place.

And yet, we never hear of anyone dying because of it...

And yes, I wash my hands. Every time. I'm frequently disappointed by cold water, the lack of paper towels and really bad hand dryers.

If someone contracted a serious infection and died of it, how would anyone know it was because they neglected to wash their hands after using a public restroom?

One reason restaurant workers etc. are REQUIRED to wash hands is because so many bad bugs are KNOWN to be transmitted by the fecal-oral route.
