Why do some do this?

Okay, it's lunchtime and you're at a restaurant. You have to go to the bathroom. You wash your hands before you unzip. And on the way out, after you're done, what if you get an itch, reach in, and scratch yourself? Are you going to handle your food with those same hands? Get real. The handle on the bathroom door, urinals, and toilets have been touched by others with who knows what on their hands. If you don't wash your hands afterward, you are just contaminating everything you touch, including Willy next time you unzip.
The door on the way out is just as contaminated.
What is crazy is how some people freak out about this topic but won't think twice about giving oral sex. Do you stop a passionate moment to pull out sanitary wipes?
In the same sense one can argue why take any sanitation measures at all? I mean why go to the restroom when you can just pull it out and pee beneath you, hell just piss on yourself.
Knowledge of what poor sanitation does to us is part of the reason why people "freak out". If you notice those people who freak out tend to be more educated about the consequences generally.
Now to help explain why people freak out we have to simply look at risk equations. Every intellectually aware being tend to develop one consciously or subconsciously. Some choose to include extra sanitary procedures in their risk equation, and they tend to freak out when they observe others disregarding those procedures.
Just because you perceive pulling a wipe mid sex is stopping the passion, a lot actually don't. I mean some people include #1 & #2 in their sexual encounters and they still wash their hands when they go to the bathroom.
I always washed my hands cause I was taught to since I was young. I didn't fully appreciate my habit until during training in the army when my entire squad contracted MRSA except me. After thinking I was immune, a nice Colonel from MEDCOM shattered my hopes of super immunity and simply explained my higher hygiene practices spared me.
So the door might be covered in shlt but by washing your hands, your hands will be only covered in shlt. The alternative is to have piss and shlt which automatically puts you on a higher risk equation. And again, most people try to minimize risk.0 -
that's the reason they say you shouldn't eat the shared bar snacks.0

I've been to a restaurant that had unwrapped mints on a table as you exit. Wouldn't take one of those either.0 -

Yay! Gorgeous post best post on MFP ever. WASH YOUR HANDS!!
I need the other healthcare professionals to speak up!
The best method to prevent the transmission of cold and flu is soap and water hand washing for at least 20 seconds or two rounds of happy birthday.
Do an experiment for a month during cold and flu season be religious about washing your hands before meals, after the bathroom, before picking your nose, before smoking, ect. Now observe the people around you are they sick? Are you sick?
My little anecdotal evidence was I went 2 years with out getting sick.
Alcohol with a 60% more can be an effective means if you do not have access to soap and water if allowed to sit on the hands for 15 seconds or more. However, it is not as effective in removing bacteria and virus as soap and water. Plus all you do is spread alcohol on its not washing off the fecal material that is ALWAYS in bathrooms off.

Hold that thought, let me get my sanitary wipe..It might be a bit cold..:smokin:0 -
I don't wash my hands.
I also don't touch my junk with my hands, OR the door handle in or out, or the flush handle.
Any germs I get from ME, are better than germs from the faucet knob, or paper towel knob.
And yes people will look at you weird when you open doors using your shirt so you don't have to touch it.
I'll take a pass on the hepatitis thanks.
Ok, I'm curious.How do you urinate without touching your junk. Do you sit to pee? Otherwise, do you have to lean over the urinal or toilet to avoid wetting your clothes? (just wondering....)
Unzip entirely
Pull down underwear and kinda lean back at once.
Now guide urine projectile unit with the band of the underwear.
Basically I hold out on the band to prevent peeing on my left leg because of the natural way in which things are situated. Basically don't allow a free hang.
LOL.
You'ze is talented with your junk. I like you.0 -
I wash my hands before I take a whiz at a public urinal or toilet. Beyond that, I could care less. It's your problem now. :bigsmile:
then care less0 -
My daughter and I always wash our hands after we touch restaurant menus.
I was reading somewhere the menus are some of the nastiest and dirtiest things around including salmonella. Ew!!! Wash that poop off your hands fool!0 -

No one gives their partner the courtesy of a quick shower before engaging in cunnilingus or *kitten*? That's kind of like washing your hands before serving up the most delicious dessert.0 -

I agree with OP.

There was a woman who used with us that NEVER washed her hands. Everytime I would see her in teh ladies room, she'd leave without washing her hands.
And she was the woman who delivered the mail around the building.
Gross.0 -

Sounds like you have never had a hot encounter in the car after leaving the bar. :huh:0 -
I don't know; it is gross. I've been teaching my three year old son to always wash his hands and the other day we were out in a public restroom. We were washing our hands and one woman left her stall and walked out. He started babbling incessently about how, "Dat lady din't washer hands, mommy."
Part of me hopes she didn't hear but the :devil: part of me hopes she did.0 -

So when was the last time you used or held someone else's phone? (Hey there, look at this pic! OMG! What did she post on FB?)
Huh...think about it. Most people if not all don't have a habit of cleaning their phone. We can extend this to remote controls (at work we have a TV and the community remote control, the projector remote) and your computer keyboard and mouse, and....the list goes on beyond the door handles.
I have a very strong habit of washing my hands - always do, always will.
But at the same time, life goes on.
Just go and allow your dog to kiss you. Oh, that sweet cute moment...0 -
At a young age, I was taught not to pee on my hands.
It isn't so much the peeing on your hands, or the fact that you used the toilet. It's the fact that the whole world is covered in germs, and when you go to the bathroom, it's an opportunity to reduce the numbers of those germs on your hands.
I also used to think, what's the big deal? The only thing I touched in there was clean fresh TP.
Now I just think of bathroom time as an opportunity to wash away the germs I am currently collecting off my keyboard. And desk. And phone. Etc.0 -

I haven't been ill in at least 3 years (that I can recall) and I attribute a majority of that to just keeping my hands clean. Do I clean them while working out? Nope, but I don't touch my face either. After I'm done working out, I wash my hands well. Goes a long way.Yay! Gorgeous post best post on MFP ever. WASH YOUR HANDS!!

By far from being a germ freak. I believe that too much sanitation is just as bad as no sanitation since not being exposed to germs won't help build a better immune system. However there are germs we can control in/around us and some we can't.I think the germ freaks reading this thread should check out this one.

Lol, don't sell it short. Cold isn't where germs and bacteria grow. That's why people freeze food.
