Yuk, yes yabu :(

BlackAffronted · 15/08/2013 13:30

So you dont lift the toilet lid or touch the flush either? Double yuk!

BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack · 15/08/2013 13:30

YABU - esp if you are doing a poo and not washing your hands.

Hopefully you are just talking about a wee but even so...yuck!!!

Do you know how much poo bacteria the typical mobile phone has on it.......double yuck!!

Sirzy · 15/08/2013 13:30

YABU. I wonder how many germs build up on the 'flush' of the toilet?

Why not just wash your hands?

MrsCliveStanden · 15/08/2013 13:31

You don't make a drink, food, touch anything? yabu

insancerre · 15/08/2013 13:32

yuck
what a strange question
YABU

destructogirl · 15/08/2013 13:32

Told you! Mumsnet has proved me right, now go and wash your hands!

ifyourehoppyandyouknowit · 15/08/2013 13:32

YABU as I assume you then put your germy skanky piss/poo hands on door handles, cups, counters, phones, remote controls and light switches that other people have to touch?

FluffedUpFerretOnSteroids · 15/08/2013 13:32

Yes I'm just talking about a wee, and there are many worse people who don't wash their hands in a public loo, I know its a bit yucky but if I'm tired or cba I just don't

if you google I am sure you will find out all about what germs live on the loo roll and surrounding surfaces from "loo spray", and that germs can pass through the paper when you wipe. Then pass to door handles, keyboards etc that you touch. just wash your hands

ILoveFrogs · 15/08/2013 13:33

YANBU

There are more germs on your kitchen cloth than there are touching the toilet roll and the toilet handle! Obviously public toilets are different.

BlackAffronted · 15/08/2013 13:34

I hope you arent one of my friends or family :( I would hate for you to make me a cup of tea or offer me some homemade cake Shock

BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack · 15/08/2013 13:35

I think it should be the other way round. Sometimes public loos are so disgusting it is probably cleaner to do a quick wee and escape........at home though seriously WASH YOUR HANDS YOU MINGER :)

AmazingBouncingFerret · 15/08/2013 13:35

skanky cow.

usualsuspect · 15/08/2013 13:36

MN gets a bit hysterical about wee germs.

K8Middleton · 15/08/2013 13:37

Yabu for the use of a double negative that momentarily confused me.

The loo thing? Yab disgusting.

olidusUrsus · 15/08/2013 13:37

MN gets a bit hysterical, full stop Wink

Mind you, I'm often up in the middle of the night for a wee, at 2am in the morning I can't be bothered with it Grin

Jan49 · 15/08/2013 13:39

Yuck! Even at my laziest and sickest I've never considered not washing my hands after using the loo. It's basic hygiene.

FluffedUpFerretOnSteroids · 15/08/2013 13:39

That would be stupid not to wash hands to make food or drinks, and it is said that there's more germs in other places than on your loo, I wash my hands most of the time its mostly at night and I'm tired and cba, there are many people who are worst than me

KellyElly · 15/08/2013 13:39

YANBU. If I have a wee in the night I don't even turn on the light or open my eyes. I'm not going to start faffing about washing my hands. I do in the daytime though. I find the people funny who just rinse their finger tips with water and then get all judgy about people not washing their hands. Unless you use antibacterial handwash you may as well not bother. Anyone who doesn't wash their hands after having a shit is gross!

FluffedUpFerretOnSteroids · 15/08/2013 13:39

Double negative where??
