Do you wash your hands?

our hospital instituted a policy of assigning a nurse to every department to go around and write down every incidence of negligence in hand hygeine, including name of the doc, for a report to the hosp administration.

hand washing increased a thousand fold.

encouraging snitching is always the best way to keep people on good behaviour
I can see where such a system could be abused. :unsure:

For the record, I wash after I've touched anything I'm not sure of. Like Quagmire, I'll always step on the flusher, and occasionally I'll use my wrist/sleeve to get push the paper towel dispenser, but unless you're peeing all over yourself I don't see the point in scrubbing your hands every time you gotta go. It's just your wang; skin like all the rest on your body. Plus, it's the most well-covered part of your body, and probably comes in contact with less germs and dirt than your face or hands. As George Carlin put it, "If you feel the need to wash your hands after touching your [penis] - shouldn't you be washing your [penis] instead?”

<snip>

P.S. I do, however, wash after dropping a 2. I'm hairy - the risk is too high.
The reason I wash after a piddle in a public john but not at home is because there is most definitely splashing going on from the urinal. On occasion I'll feel a small droplet of spray bouncing back on my hands, but if there's that, you gotta know there's a plethora of micro spray that you dont feel. And any spray coming out of that urinal, containing thousands of grosstard's pee, I want off me, asap. I'll aim my stream obliquely to minimize impact, and thusly, minimize splatter. And I will stand a foot back from the urinal, while most guys pretty much mount the thing. So yes, my tail-off stream does find the floor a bit, I'm that guy, a necessary artifact.

As for hairy guy's issues with dropping dueces. Yes, I'm there. Thats one of the reasons I dont deuce in public. I need to wash all relevant anatomy with water, not just swipe with the phonebook pages they call toilet paper in public johns. Ugh! Soft toilet paper is the most heavenly of all creature comforts. Charmin Ultra Soft, spun with down from the geese that lay golden eggs. When I finally buy a house and design my dream glamour bath, a bidet will be a must, for sure.

The Japanese have awesome bidet-style toilets. They are amazing and I don't know why they never caught on in the United States. So much more sanitary and pleasant to use...

The other day I got a pretty good bug and ended up with a swollen eyelid and a stuffy ear drum. Saw the doctor and after the exam he washed his hands and then after telling me about the antibiotics, he shook my hand and left.

Quag, when I finish my business I go up to the towel dispenser and roll out as much as I need, then wash my hands and never touch anything but clean paper towels until I'm back at my desk.

Of course, this usually doesn't work in a busy restroom as someone else steals your towel before you are ready.

Hey, great idea!! I'll def phase that into my routine. Although, of course, that way you're dropping a huge cootie bomb with your fresh piddled unwashed hands on the lever for the next guy. But public johns are definitely an every man for himself zone.

I was doing a deuce at work last week, which I NEVER do, unless absolute emergency, and it was. So I helped myself to the handicap stall, turned the little knob and the the minibolt came out a milimeter passing for 'locked'. Then the bathroom springs alive with a rush of activity, urinators in and out. I prefer to deuce in private, dont need anyone using any of the five senses to get up in my business. So I sat patiently, waiting for the room to clear. Maybe doing a little incidental casual scratching as needed. Then I hear some high energy guy enter the bathroom, brusque quick militant steps across the floor, and boom the door of my stall explodes open and I look up like a deer in the head lights. He says 'oh sorry' and closes the door.

SHEES!!!!! WTF!!! The door was closed. Why would someone open a closed stall door without checking for feet?!?! And apparently that little mini bolt is utterly useless. And since I hadnt actually proceeded to the deuce yet, and my hand was incidentally dubiously placed, I felt a bit more compromised. So then he enters the stall right next to me. GTFO of here dude!! At least give me a buffer zone after that, let alone sit down next to me. I hate when peoples ignorance and self centeredness becomes so violating. I mean, I just dont get the mindset of opening closed stall doors with no regard.

I would wash after that as well. :leaving:

Quag, always remember, never forget, your defenses are down when you're taking a shet.

:lol2: :spit: Just grunt and moan the whole time. Nobody will mess with you, and you'll send all but the hearing impaired running for cover. Just don't overdo it so they call the paramedics.

*shudders* Bad memories.

On that note, it drives me nuts how some people don't lock the bathroom door! And I don't mean the public stalls in Quag's story. I'm talking about one-man "wait your bloody turn" bathrooms with handle locks, chains and deadbolts. I swear to God the next time I walk in on somebody who couldn't take 2 seconds to lock the door, I'm leaving it wiiiiiiiide open.

I wouldn't go into one of those washrooms without knocking first.

I used to knock, until I realized anyone with a two digit IQ would make use of the locks so generously provided. Also, when I would knock, people would ask, "Who is it?" What are you supposed to say to that? "RCMP, come out with your pants up!"
