Regardless, a bit bothered how so many people don't wash their hands.

Yesterday, I witnessed a guy exit a toilet stall and head straight out the door without washing his hands. These people exist out there.

This is precisely the reason I wash my hands immediately when returning home. Public transit, door handles, railings, have all been touched by unwashed filthy cock and balls. 🤢🤮

Every time. I also open public toilet doors with a paper towel now on exit, never going to stop. I have real Niles Crane energy these days and am proud of it.

And just generally avoid touching stuff that is shared with my hands, I have become so good at navigating public spaces with my elbows and feet.

I wash my hands when I enter a public bathroom and use the paper towel to grab the stall door. I don't want to touch my own dick with other people's dick grime on my hands. Then I wash them again afterwards and use the second paper towel to grad the door on the way out of the bathroom.

Still remember the time I saw an employee at a burger place I stopped at not wash his hands

Immediately left because nasty

Why didn't you just wash the burger?

Impossible to wash a ham once it's been steamed

No pathogen ever went broke from investing in the fecal-oral transmission pathway

It takes a minute and it helps keep you from getting sick!

There are no downsides!

I need that minute, you don’t understand

Quick post that map of how little euros wash their hands after going to the toilet!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I had no idea, but the last time I was in a long public toilet line I paid attention to this and so many of the ladies just walked straight out the toilet as I stood there! I assumed it's the "pandemic is over" brainrot, but it was always like this? Ewwwwwwwwwwwww...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Yeah, it's always been like this. Especially in men's rooms. Most men that only used the urinal just walk straight out, the ones that do wash their hands only rinse them. Massively telling when grown adults were singing happy birthday while washing their hands during the height of the pandemic, lol. Most people legit learned in the past 4 years that soap and water is a mechanical process...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Well, now at least I can stop assuming it's just most men that don't wash their hands

Turns out everyone is gross and Nurgle is our god

Always been like this. I kind of figured the Pandemic would at least get people to at least wash their hands, but it wasn't strong enough. And as someone who's had to clean enough bathrooms, women can be plenty gross. Men have the classic of not washing their hands after pissing, but it doesn't mean I haven't had to deal with some gross womens' bathrooms

One of the worst things about our RTO mandate is that to many people don’t wash their hands after using the toilet

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

One time I was on a public restroom where a guy walked out of a stall and went to leave and I told him to wash his hands and he did. It was my second most chad moment.
