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?

I very rarely don't wash my hands as I don't wee that often and usually by the time I do, they are ready for a wash anyway.

I get your point though and it wouldn't horrify me to know you were one of my friends. The threadworms point is valid but they do tend to live in your arse; there are times when you wee and the paper blocks contact with everything - even the wee - on these occasions it wouldn't bother me if someone decided not to wash. If I touch my skin or any bodily secretions then I will always wash.

The things I come back to are:

1. oral sex never killed me and most blokes' pubic areas are dodgy places when it comes to germs.
2. I only ever get a bug when they are recognisably going round; all these things that live with us all the time never seem to do anything.
3. to the poster that said about going on to do food prep after not having washed; I always wash my hands before doing that anyway.

Captainmummy.....I meant that when wiping, yes the wiped side of paper will obv be wet but not so it goes through to hands holding the paper ;)

If you thought about food handlers and how their handwashing after using the loo isn't policed, you would never eat out again.

Do y'all run and wash your hands/entire body after any kind of "intimate contact"? What about the scary fanjo/knob germs then?

will someone please answer my question!?

those who don't wash- did you teach your dcs to wash hands when toilet training?

I wonder why the none hand washers refuse to answer that question?

I answered it way up thread before you asked!

Yes of course I teach the children too, cos they aren't so good at wiping, plus at school the loos are horrid.

Plus boys touch their willies to pee once they get to a certain age and start standing up...about 12 I guess

Sorry YABU. One of my Pet Hates (I'll admit I'm a self confessed Germophobe).

ExDh used to always do this too and say "well its only us that use it". He was next to the Sink. Why not wash his hands whilst he was in there?

I took DD to the Toilets at a Birthday Party earlier in the year (Bowling Alley), I stood there gobsmacked when I heard a nearby Loo Flush and watched a woman walk out the Cubicle and straight out the Door :0 ~

To those who don't wash their hands, do you wash your hands after changing your children's nappies?

I've witnessed a fair few women leaving the ladies in restaurants without washing their hands. Don't they feel ashamed?!

pobble mostly. If its a big shitty nappy then obviously yes. Otherwise maybe yes, maybe no.

I am not a germophobe.

wux no.

I only don't wash if I havent touched anything and only in my own loo, plus I've never had any problems like thread worm. I can see why I am being unreasonable though

Well done FluffedUpFerret.

You have seen the light! Hurrah!

Now wash your fucking hands before you ever make me tea.

Don't worry,OP.

MN is a bit bonkers about germs.

I reckon there's more germs on their keyboards,than your pissy hands.

If I pissed on my hands is wash them

*I'd

As long as you don't piss in the

"If I pissed on my hands is wash them" I should bloody well hope so!

Well of course just thought people should know :p

Out of interest, to the frequent handwashers on here: do you wash your hands each time you blow your nose? Do you get your children to do so?

So is it OK to not wash your hands after a wee if wee hasn't come through the paper when you wiped yourself, you haven't flushed because it was night & the bathroom door is open so you have't touched that handle either??!!

I'm pretty relaxed about germs but not washing after going to the toilet is just grim. It takes no time at all!

I also thought threadworm. Small children pick it up really easily. So small child goes to toilet, wipes self, picks up threadworm egg on hand, transfers to handle when flushing and leaves it there for FluffedUp* when she cba to wash her hands after flushing the toilet.

*OK I accept likelihood of small child remembering to flush is pretty low

yes limburgs doesn't everyone?
