    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.

    Which version of happy birthday? If you get invited to a lot of kid's parties, you know there are a lot of different endings.

    Go with the longer version extra time to wash your hands

    Happy Birthday to you
    You stepped in some poo
    don't waste it just taste it
    Happy Birthday to u!!!!

    You know what's interesting during the early revolution of medicine when they were learning what a germ was there was a whole group of doctors who would argue that it was not their dirty hands causing infection, sepsis, and death during surgery and child birth but some other mysterious phenomena. Took a few surgeons saying look I wash my hands and my patients arent dying for it to really catch on. You've still got people in direct patient care who think hand washing is a suggestion. So I guess it doesnt surprise me the average Joe isnt a hand washer.


    Wash your hands it's 20 seconds (probably less) out of your life.

    Ok. You all sold me on the hand washing thing. I will go wash them as soon as I am done typing this message.

    But before I go, I got a quick question for the sanitary experts here. A very lovely woman sent me a message telling me one of my posts made her shoot her diet pepsi out of her nose. Well, I just happen to LOVE diet pepsi. Is it ok to drink it?

    Women do it too! I have several ladies in the office building who do not wash their hands at all. Not even turning on the faucet and pretending to! I feel like posting a flyer on how people catch Hep A. Yuck!

    Was the mall today buying some shoes and had to use the restroom. It's crowded (unusual for a men's bathroom) so I wait. While waiting, out of about 10 guys (including some in stalls) 4 didn't bother to stop and wash their hands. Blech. So nasty.
    This is why you should ALWAYS wash your hands before eating or touching your face, especially when you've been meandering in public areas and touching anything.

    I was on the road yesterday and stopped at a gas station and witnessed a woman do that . . . I always think to myself "remember to watch what she touches and don't touch there." foul.

    Now another reason to wash hands:

    Hepatitis A maybe lurking around after people have reported getting it from organic berries sold at Costco. Hepatitis A is very contagious, so wash your hands in any public setting and make sure to not touch your mouth, eyes, nose till your hands are clean.

    Worse is standing at the urinal, looking down and seeing a puddle of p!ss on the floor. WTF? How old are you? Is it really that hard to pee into a giant porcelain target?

    As for the hand washing, I do, but I NEVER touch the door on the way out afterward specifically because I know most a**hats don't wash theirs.

    I typically wash my hands by peeing on them. Is this not the right way to do it?

    This is why you should ALWAYS wash your hands before eating or touching your face, especially when you've been meandering in public areas and touching anything.

    I was thinking that this is why you should use hand sanitizer every time you meet someone and shake their hand.

    This thread made me go wash my hands. haha
    For 2 Happy Birthdays, and an extra 5-10 seconds after that.

    I always use paper towels to turn off the faucet and open the door to leave the restroom..... One of my coworkers doesn't wash her hands. She has a nickname around here... "poopie hands". Lol

    I don't know how I survived going to those keg parties in the woods. I remember peeing on a lot of trees back in the day.

    If only everyone had the same mindset as you...but they don't!! And, yes, women are included! I take it one step further and try to grab door handles with paper towels (since I just washed the germs off 'my' hands), and I NEVER touch the flush lever...my foot does! lol

    You men should consider your selves lucky since you generally do not have to sit to pee. :-)
    ...Those are the times I wish I didn't have to.

    Obviously you survived because alcohol is known to be a disinfectant.

    As kids we used to camp for weeks; no running water, swimming in the lake was the only form of a bath we had.
    And this was before the days of hand sanitizers.
