c'mon ladies, someone blow the whistle ... it surely can't be that only guys never wash their hands?
I hate using public loos. Even at work I would say that *most* (easily) men do not wash their hands after going to the toilet. They should have automatic doors on the way out so the ones that do don't have to touch the handles ...
Simon,
<br>I'd say probably 25% of the women I work with don't wash their hands. I also have one female relative who was a fastidious housekeeper, but didn't wash her hands. Yuck!
<br><br>This makes me think twice about eating other people's cooking.
I'm still in my nurse mode. I always wash my hands after using the bathroom. I mean, turn the faucet on with paper (in public restrooms that don't have sensors), sing yankee doodle while you wash your hands (to make sure you did it long enough), make sure you wash in between your fingers and under your nails, turn the water off with a paper towel, and if the towel doesn't have an automatic sensor, use your elbow to get the sensor to go or have the paper ready to use after washing your hands.
I don't do all that at home. I have soap dispensers in all restrooms, and I have a bottle of Germ X, and I have hand wipes. So take your pick!
As a foodservice facilty designer I had to make sure that the location and number of handwashing stations in restaurants, schools, etc. complied with the minimum requirements of the health code. The problem faced by the industry is COMPLIANCE. Several companies have invested big bucks inventing systems to track employee handwashing. One system required the worker to wear a sensor badge that recorded every time an employee entered the restroom and recorded when that employee used a handwashing station for at least 30 seconds. This was sent to a computer and became a part of the job performance record. These companies have all gone out of business. Great idea but doesn't work in real life.
Many people feel that if they don't get any poop on their hands when doing the paper work that they don't need to wash up. They never think about the person before them who wasn't careful and touched the TP dispenser, flush handle, stall door, bathroom door handle and then adjusted their clothes, touched their hair, face. YOU CANNOT WASH YOUR HANDS TOO OFTEN. Better to be accused of OCD than getting sick.
I've noticed it at work too. Then these same guys call me to help them with their computers, and I have to use their shit covered keyboards and mice. I keep some hand sanitizer at work now, and use it after touching someone else's keyboard or mouse.

Finallyfree, not just the crap covered keyboard, they get smegma on it from holding their wee-wee's when they take a leak. Yuck!
Swalker- Gloves are an inside joke in the fodservice industry. People don't change them or wash hands as often and feel secure. They carry germs as well as bare skin.
MsMcducket, SMEGMA - Now there's a word you don't hear very often! But maybe you should start a new thread - Who has the worst hygiene - men or women? (I once saw a tee shirt - "Smegma - breakfast of Champions!")
Very tasteless
My husband and I were at walmart trading in some lego xmas presents and when we were standing in line there were two women with kids in front of us. I got so sick...one of the little boys was sitting in the cart and was chewing and sucking on the belt strap....you know the strap to tie the child in. The mom just looked at him then went back to talking to her friend. Both my husband and I looked at this boy.,...had to be around 3 and said "eww, isn't that yucky". He just smiled and chewed away.......SOOOOOO GROSSS........and one day she'll wonder how he got Hepititis B...
