Do people not wash their hands anymore?

I wash my hands everytime I go to a bathroom. I think it's quite gross if you don't. Every time before meals too.

 

If its guys just having a pee, yeah, its not that unnormal. Though a bit unhygenic, its certainly not unusual. Whats that famous quote?

 

I wash my hands like 80 times a day. My sister never does. I don't get how people can not.

 

Washing hands is overrated. In my opinion, kids get sick more often these days because they wash their hands, use hand sanitizers, etc. Whatever happened to just getting your body used to everybody's germs as a kid so you can fight them off pretty easily the rest of your life. Or is that an old wives tale?

 

I agree. The more germs you are exposed to, the better your immunity will be. It makes sense...

 

I actually read this article a while back about how one-third of men surveyed don't wash their hands after using the restroom, despite the vast majority of them saying that they did. To be honest, it strikes me as a bit disgusting, although oldies84 does have a point.

As for your own situation, you can't force your family to wash their hands, but you can always offer them some hand sanitizer or something if it bothers you that much.

 

I'm all for not using the hand sanitizer all the time so you get exposed to some germs, but not washing your hands after using the bathroom? I think that is just gross...I'm with you on that one. I would say just keep washing yours as much as you feel is necessary to keep them clean or if you touch something that you know someone didn't wash their hands and touched, then use some sanitizer or wash in that case or something if it really bugs you to know that...

 

I'm not one to be over-hygenic or germaphobic by any stretch of either of those two words, but I still wash my hands after using the washroom. Sure, urine is technically sterile, but still.

 

I use to never do it really. Now...I use Purell 25 times a day. I wash even if its not with soap i still wash. Etc.

 

Is this the quote/joke?

a marine and a sailor are in the bathroom taking a piss
when the marine goes to leave without washing up
the sailor says ‘in the navy they teach us to wash our hands’
the marine turns to the sailor and says ‘in the marines they teach us not to piss on our hands!'

 

washign with water wouldent do anything tbh as any bacteria is inteh pours of the skin and teh water is too large... but meh my oppinion on how it is not gospel

my stance is if your hands are dirty wash them if you go to teh rest room in someoens house you wash them if you have company you wash them...on ya own inyour house ...hit and miss.

i do believe you can wash too much... and it is true most contaminations and illnesses via transmissions are due to lowerd immune systems because our bodys havent built up teh deffences from childhood

luckily i grew up before this anti bacterial carpet bomb.

 

i wash my hand after using the restroom...and some times at random times because my hands sweaty and i cant stand it...

 

I wash my hands about half the time when I use the bathroom. But, if there are other people around, I at least turn on the water so it sounds like I'm washing my hands.
No one else needs to know when I'm not being hygienic.

 

I do the same exact thing if I get too lazy to do it and there are other people around.

 

Hmm, I wash my hands after going to the restroom, but reading this, I think I'm now going to start washing them before going :lol:

 

I wash my hands all the time. Probably too much.
That's when I touch another person or an object which I am not familiar with or if I go into a place which smells of anything bad or unclean.
So yeah I go mad on my hands when I go to the toilet. I don't know if it's done bad things to my skin because my hands are very dry and they hurt a lot of the time. Oh well.
