If you went to the bathroom, why didn’t you wash your hands?

r/

I understand that not everyone uses the toilet when entering and exiting the bathroom. I am a hundred percent sure you relieved yourself, per the shake, dip and tuck. Why didn’t you wash your hands? I have to touch the door you just opened and whatever else you touch once exiting the restroom, out in the world. Most of the time, you didn’t even use the hand sanitizer that is also available to you. Is this some power play? Are you allergic to water? I’ve angrily yelled out to the particles you’ve left in the air as you swiftly made your exit. My wife says please dont get shot over this? I may get shot over this.

    Me? Because I went to check my makeup. Other people? No idea, but the world is full of germs from people you didn’t see not washing their hands. Rather than risk an unhygienic punch, maybe carry a little hand sanitiser bottle you can use after you’ve touched the handle to get out. You can’t control what other people do, but you can decide what you do.

    “Don’t you know how many germs are on the soap and sink handles?” When I heard this excuse, I realized that some mysteries don’t require answers, just judgment.

    The classic answer is, because I don’t piss on my hands

    No so real. I don’t get it. Always washing my hands after leaving the bathroom even if it was just to look in the mirror and get my hair nice. I also like it because then I am fitting in socially 😁 love!!

    Bathrooms are gross. It’s like do I breathe in through my nose and smell or through my mouth to avoid the smell but now I’m eating it…

    The only time I can recall not washing was in a bar where the sinks were in a common area between the mens and ladies’ restrooms. It was a really gross restroom. My wife came out of the ladies and saw that I was headed for the door. She commented about me not washing my hands and I said, “the only thing I’ve touched in here is my penis and if’s a hell of a lot cleaner than anything in here.”

    My dick is cleaner than the door handle. But I still wash my hands

    I’m allergic to aloe and it’s in most commercial soaps and sanitizers as a moisturizer. I rinse with water and that’s it. I would rather have strangers think I’m gross than deal with an allergic reaction that lasts 2+weeks 🤷‍♀️

    I don’t get it either. I have coworkers who will enter the bathroom, wash their hands, touch their junk and relive themselves, then walk out without washing again or worse take a dump and wipe then not wash their hands. (Warehouse hence the wash before)

    You know what gets me? When someone is taking a shit and you hear them pull the loo roll…once? ONCE? Now I don’t know about you but I wipe and then I wipe again till I have a blank canvas back there. Who is out there with the fair they cleaned all the shit off their bumhole in one stroke???

    I’ve occasionally told people to wash their hands when I notice they are about to leave a public bathroom without doing it. Most actually apologise and lie that they forgot, some tell me to fuck off, but luckily in the UK I’m pretty confident I won’t ever get shot over it.

    I tend to just use sanitizer I keep in my bag. I’ve had allergic reactions to some soaps in public restrooms, so it’s better to be safe than to end up with hives on my hands.

    I also just kind of avoid public restrooms anyway, though. They’re gross, and not all of them have paper towels I can use to open the door.

    The only time I don’t wash my hands is if the sink is filthy and there’s no paper towel to use as gloves lol. I carry hand sanitizer at all times. There’s been times I did NOT want to touch the disgusting sink handles…wash my hands then have to touch them again to turn it off.

    I didn’t like the optics of me walking out of the bathroom smelling the very nice soap on my fingers.

    Never goes over well.

    I keep that special lotion and a black light on me to prove these people are nasty af. Did it to my bf and now he washes like a regular human being

    I am right there with you. As a woman… look, you wipe your vagina and there’s a good chance your fingers are gonna touch wet (be it through the 1 ply toilet paper you THOUGHT you layered enough of or the “Jesus, I didn’t see that droplet on my thigh and now it’s on my fingers”).

    I went my whole life up until my mid 20s without washing my hands. Out of laziness. Now I have to wash them every time they get even a little messy as I’ve developed a contamination OCD.

    My nutsack and shaft’s far cleaner than anything else in the work bathroom.
    I mean it’s not like anything or anyone else but me gets near them.

    1. I don’t touch my dick when I pee. I open pants, pull down, pee, pull up.
    2. Even if I did, my dick is cleaner than my hands. I should be washing my dick after I pee

    I did wash my hands…

    In my own urine

    Because I didn’t actually use the toilet, I just had to go into the stall to maybe adjust my pants or shirt or something. But, even when I do that I usually wash my hands anyway just bc I don’t want to gross ppl out

    Because I’m evil 🙂

    My penis is probably cleaner than your face…and my dad taught me as a child not to pee on my hands when using the urinal. So no…I don’t wash my hands after unless I wet my myself or I’m sweaty down there. I’m more likely to wash my hands BEFORE touching my schlong than after actually. Door handles and just everyday everywhere germs are always on hands…so I wash before touching my dick.
    If I take a dump I’m definitely washing twice.
