The "hand washing police" have decided that men are grosser than women. A recent study has determined that men have issues when it comes to washing their hands after using public toilets.

        My husband isn't that great of a handwasher either. I have to remind him all the the time. Once he had washed something off the floor, threw the dirty papertowel away and proceeded back to the table to continue eating his meal! I was like, "You gonna wash your hands after having them all over the floor?"

            ...we won't even say where there hands have been. There ought to be a law that they're not allowed to scratch themselves in public....or fling the buggers once they retrieve them!

              soap and hot water every time for this guy, sorry... ewwwww, but yeah, I have seen so many other guys in the restrooms who do not... and many of them are good looking, handsome or macho guys. I guess they are above doing such menial tasks.

                There are a few men that work in our building that don't wash their hands. I can't stand it when someone doesn't. From the gossip in the building I think that women are worse at washing their hands than the men. Nasty. Whats more surprising is that women in this building constantly are complaining about the cleanliness and smell eminating for the women's bathroom. Think this should read Men and Women are filthy pigs.

                  When I was in the Navy I was tasked to clean the women's head on a ship. It was, by far, the nastiest experience that I have ever had. This is coming from a person who (more than once) had to go down into the sh!t pit under the hog barn. I won't describe it to you as the thought of it disgusts me to this day, but suffice it to say it was awful.

                  Also, being a man that washes his hands, many, many, many times I've gone to the bathroom (in a public place) only to find there was no soap. I still use the water, but it is not sufficient.

                  By the way, I'm a stay at home dad and I clean the bathroom at home. It is spotless, there is always soap and a clean, fresh hand towel, but the next bastard that uses my pretty decorative flower towel (hand stitched, by me) as a hand towel is going to be wearing their intestines for a necklace.

                    Hmmmmmmmm. I guess it would have been unladylike for the gals to clean their own head?

                    I always wash my hands! It bugs me that some don't! Afterwards, I tear off a piece of tissue and grab the doorknob to get outta the bathroom because you never know!

                      I just wish they would put the trash can a little closer to the door. It sometimes involves a bit of acrobatics to get the paper towel in the trash before the door closes.

                      BTW use a paper towel to turn off the faucet. Remember you just touched it with your dirty hand, as well as every person before you. Cross-contamination is a little tricky.

                      this reminds me of a bad joke i heard one time- forgive me if i botch it.

                      Two men were leaving the restroom.one noticed that the other didn't wash his hands. He said "In the army they trained us to wash our hands after using the restroom"

                      To which the other replied "In the navy they tought us not to pee on our hands"

                        Washing hands the most elementary and simple thing with the most powerful outcome when it comes to reducing diseases. I may be washing hands about 20 times per day . Every time you handle something that others have had before, you start the game! Next time you find yourself coming in contact with your mouth or eyes (fingers) immediately recall what was the last time you washed your hands and what you handled since then. Did you take out the trash,pick the car keys, look at your wallet , handle money , shake the hand of someone , prepare any raw food or even transport it briefly? The list goes on and on. It is so simple to do it a ritual before and after bathroom breaks. Why only after? In fact you should wash before as well. Isnt handling your own private body something that is placing it at risk from bacteria/viruses etc in the hands that just opened 2-3 public doors plus whatever else before that time until you are at the private area? See what i mean ?

                          Self respecting people wash hands before and after a visit to the restroom. Side note to that . After washing the hands do you still handle doors that are risky while exiting the bathroom? Paranoid as i sound in fact i am totally logical about it. What good is the washing if its not done with correlation between activities.

                          Its a probability game. Touching a dirty door is unlikely to make you sick due to very small probability like 0.1% per trial. But its not that one door or object that will hurt you. Its the repeated disregard for that small probability that eventually day after day accumulates to certainty.

                          You need to come in contact with other people to get sick really. You see the problem people miss is that while visiting bathrooms its not urine drops etc(gross)that makes you sick. Its all the rest! Gross but not risky . Not Gross but very risky is what usually gets you. Did you know a kitchen sink has plenty more bacteria than the flushed toilet?

                          The USA is less clean than folks in Europe when it comes to washing their hands/cleaning their bodies well. Here we pooped and clean only with sheets of paper. But how well is our rearend really clean? A woman's vagina? No really well at all. In Europe most homes have some call bidet, which most people in the USA never heard of. I grow up with one there and each time I cleaned myself with the toilet paper I would finish washing myself with water and soap as well. That was each time! Here a person can used the toilet 2 or 3 times a day and go like that until they make it home. And what if someone doesnt take a shower that day? Now how gross is that? So yes folks in the USA are not that clean at all. BTW Here at my home I do have a bidet. I remember when it was installed and one of the plummbers didnt know what it was for. And lets not talk here about how terrible the health care is or how ignorant most folks are in the USA. But lets invaded another nation and have guns and we are #1

                            I would like to see, rather than a presumptive study such as this, one which actually checks the quantity and kind of bacteria on people's hands.

                              Do the same thing here at work Bronx. I understand that is how viruses are easily passed around in the workplace, and I rarely take time out to get over a common cold.

                              (lol) thanks Jane :)

                                Yea, people in general are nasty and they don't clean up after themselves much. The folks who clean a lot of these bathrooms don't seem to care much either for cleanliness.
