To think not everyone washes their hands after every single wee when in their own home?

[heatedroller]

Anything other than a wee, yes of course.

But washing hands after every bloody wee is overkill in my opinion

And interestingly.... how many of you claiming to always wash your hands after using the toilet keep your toothbrush uncovered in the bathroom?

(Waiting for people to now claim that of course they don’t, their toothbrushes are kept in hermetically sealed boxes )

I do every time.

So if when I get up (twice) in the middle of the night to go for a wee, dont touch the loo seat, or wipe, or put my hands anywhere near my fanny, but just pull up my pants and fall back into bed, do i need to wash them or no?

I do. And I'm truly gross by most MN standards.

I thought everyone washed their hands after wee, I never even assumed it was a thing not too!

When the world opens again just observe the next time you use a public toilet. The amount of people who don’t is shocking.

You certainly need to wash your sheets if you’re getting in bed without cleaning yourself.

You don’t wipe?

I don't always bother after a pee no. I don't see how the tiniest trace of piss going to be harmful in way. It's no big deal surely?
I don't see what that has to do with preparing food, obviously I know that I'm going to eat and will wash my hands before, but not because I'm scared there's any urine on them.
Jesus, have none of you ever been camping.

It won't go through to sheets lol

Vile. Of course I do.

After this thread I’m never shaking hands with anyone ever again.

Disgusting.

I’m laughing at the “I wouldn’t never eat or drink at someone’s house that doesn’t wash their hands every single time they even breathe in the bathroom” ... you probably already have

@Piranesio

So you wash your hands after a shit but not a pee? And use the logic that it's ok because you don't buse your hand...

Surely, you don't use your hand to wipe after a shit?!

Surely you're old enough not to get shit on your hand if you also use paper?

So what's the actual difference?

Yes, if course I always wash my hands. After either.

Poo is full of germs. Fresh wee is sterile I think. Plus if you wipe with toilet paper you don’t get wee on your hands.

No, I don’t. I live on my own, keep everything clean, and can remember when the downstairs loo was usually outdoors. Still don’t have a washbasin in the downstairs one and never let visitors in it!

Imwash my hands after every visit to the loo and sing happy birthday twice. Don't want covid again.

Why wouldn't you wash your hands? Embarrassing.

Surely it’s no big deal just to wash your bloody hands!

Fresh wee is sterile I think.
It’s not

Yes I’ve been camping, quite a few times, you don’t have to be dirty to go camping.

@bendmeoverbackwards omg, RTFT !

If you flush, wash your hands, especially if you have kids

I thought not washing hands was bad but not wiping AND not washing your hands. Grim.

Currently glad I'm not allowed in anyone else's house!

Unless you sanitise them flush button after every person, think about what is on your hands?!

And interestingly.... how many of you claiming to always wash your hands after using the toilet keep your toothbrush uncovered in the bathroom?

I close the toilet lid before I flush to keep all the sharticles in there, my toothbrush is kept behind the glass shower screen.

Nope, I don't wash my hands after a wee at home and neither do the kids. We don't get sick so obviously our bits and the toilet flush are clean enough.

Of course I do!

Yep. Wash my hands after every single wee. Always have and always will.
