aibu to think its not terrible to not wash you hands after going the loo

[FluffedUpFerretOnSteroids]

I obviously wash my hands after going in a public toliet, but at home I don't mind because I don't touch anything except the loo roll aibu?

well if I am preparing food for people then I obvs wash my hands first. and all my kitchen stuff is clean!

I'm a student nurse, the slides we see in lectures on stuff like this... Infection control!!!! Yabu

ShatnersBassoon yes to both of the above! (well less likely the parcel as I tend not to answer the door if I am not expecting someone but anyway)...

Like I say, if I am ever with people I do. it's just that when it's just me I frequently can't be arsed. Especially during the night as if I spend too long being awake in the middle of the night then I can't get back to sleep which, as a long-time insomniac, is something I wish to avoid where possible!

ok maybe I am rank then

I was in a public toilet yesterday when a girl came out and left straightaway without washing her hands. I evben commented on it to the rest of the queue! Yuk

And i have an ensuite and wee about 3 times a night (it's my age) but don't flush, as it wakes the dc up. I always wash my hands after each tho - i like the smell of clean hands.

How much effort does it really take to put a tap on and scrub your hands? Some mucky people on here!

If you tune into cbeebies just now Dr Ranj is singing a song about bugs in pee and poo.

'OP I don't either. I clean my loos obviously. I touch the flush but I don't touch the loo seat, its always up.

I am never ever sick, and the children only rarely.'

Oh that's Ok then...just the people around you who aren't immune to your germs, and happen to share a door handle or handrail...

It is rather disgusting. The amount of people that just give their hands a swill under water. Like that is going to get rid of germs. Then they touch the door handle and leave their germs there too so I have to be OCD and use my sleeve to open the door. The only time I don't wash my hands is if I get up at night to use the loo but I will wash them first thing in the morning when I get up.

Wash yer hands ya dirty bastards!!!

My DM doesn't believe in germs I make them up! We've had quite a few chats on this subject

When I was a child the loo was something nasty in the wood shed, and I mean nasty. Imagine the scene. Drudge takes a torch and ventures out to the shed in the pitch dark, completes her mission and then returns to the scullery,lights the fire or prods the range according to season to boil a kettle to wash her hands, chucks water out on garden and returns to her little bed. All accomplished in about an hour.

How did we survive in those days. I played in the farmyard amongst the cow mess and even survived having a dead relation in the front room for a week before their funeral. We got measles and chickenpox but you never heard of anyone having a' virus'. Never had food poisoning or tummy bugs we were tougher then. The human race will be killed off by hygiene.

Isn't it true that there are more germs on the average desk that a toilet seat? 99% sure I haven't made this up

Probably because of all the dirty bastards not washing their hands angelos

We had an outside toilet, up the yard.

No nice cosy bathroom to wash your hands in when I was a lass.

We survived.

It's disgusting.

Just wash your hands for goodness sake.

"there are many people who are worst than me"

That's a pathetic excuse. What other people do is irrelevant. Other people beat their children up, but it doesn't make it OK for me to slap my daughter.

Not washing hands after using the toilet is unhygienic and downright lazy, and toilet roll is absorbent and therefore porous. Washing hands doesn't take long FGS.

there are many people who are worst(sic) than me

So you are disgusting and lack basic hygiene standards but there are people that are even more disgusting and unhygienic than you in the world.....big deal. Wash your hands after every trip to the loo whether you are tired or it's the middle of the night or whatever. It should be automatic.

That's a pathetic excuse. What other people do is irrelevant. Other people beat their children up, but it doesn't make it OK for me to slap my daughter. Good analogy

Some brilliant overreactions on here as always

The outrage on this thread is making me laugh

I'm sure OP knew what she was letting herself in for though.

Op, we did an experiment at Uni which showed that microbes can pass through toilet paper.

I always wash my hands.

Mhm I'm sure she did...

YABU! Eww! I hate the thought of people touching things if they haven't washed their hands after using the toilet.

Part of the reason I hate using public loos is because I'm terribly neurotic touching the door handle on the way out makes me cringe as I know people will have touched without having washed their hands.

Some people just know how to push them MN outraged buttons.
