What's your policy?
Hand washing after a trip to the lav.
- Thread starter mandown
- Start date
do it.
yes, please.
touching the bathroom door deserves a hand wash
Ditto. Use a paper towel to open door, then chuck towel.
yep. or use your feet to open the door
you either have weird doors or monkey feet.
I use sterile technique in the bathroom. The only thing I actually touch is my junk, when going #1 that is.
I just rub my hands on my pants.
you cant push a door open with your foot?
anyone wash first? you're hands have likely been touching nasty stuff all day, before you manhandle your erector set. why not give it the respect it deserves.
Yes. Every time. With soap. The pricks who don't need taint kicked
if working around greasy equipment or slicked up whores, then yes
our bathroom door at work opens inward for some reason.
No Bacon or loco sucks option? This thread has teh FAIL.

...and wtf is the deal with the paper towel door open? you are going to use a porous, absorbent paper product to protect you from germs? you are going to hold it with freshly washed hands that likely still have moisture on them, which will be wicked up by the towel and allow for a direct connection between your hands and the germy handle. honestly Linus, let go of the security blanket.
...anyone else see the madness of the faucet knob? you touch it with dirty hands to turn it on, then clean your hands with soap and water, only to touch it again to turn it off? it is 2010 people, upgrade to motion sensors. or don't... and return ill to your dot matrix printer and type DOS prompts in your monochromatic CRT monitor.

An Air Force Sergeant and a Marine Sergeant were doing their business in the latrine. When the Air Force Sergeant leaves he doesn't wash his hands. The Marine says rather loudly "The Corps taught us to wash our hands after we use the latrine." The Air Force sergeant says back "Well, in the Air Force, they taught us not to pee all over our hands."
the mental image of your turd docking through an airlock into a sterile bag is not a good one...
Could all of this happen in the span of 1 second? If so, then I will switch to bringing sandwich bags (or alternately/more realistically- hand sanitize when I get back to my office.)
OCD'ers w/ their hand-sanitizers will spell the end of the human race.
Guys who are too paranoid to flush a handle-operated urinal after use should be forced to drink the urinal water.
Actually, I have a few folks in my service who have OCD and I ain't got nothin on them!
...and having said that, I have to say: WHO'S DOWN WITH OCD YEAH YOU KNOW ME!
Washing your hands is the most effective way to prevent a cold or flu. I used to get sick 3 - 4 times a year with a mild cold, sometimes a flu. Since I started vigilantly washing my hands I get a cold every 2 - 3 years now. Maybe the non hand washers like having a runny nose and a fever.
I spit on my hands and wipe them on the walls.
What a bunch of paranoids...from locking up everything you own to washing everything that is percceived dirty. I don't wash or anything after the business unless I'm cooking. I spend all day working with composts and castings which are essentially...poop. I don't get innoculated, keep my house fairly cold, go outside with a wet head (since grade school...I never had the luxury of a school bus) and there is NO hand sanitizer in my house. The end result of all this nasty is no sickness in my house, I haven't been sick since 2006 and the rest of my family, despite a few sore throats and occassional sniffles, is very healthy. I have friends that shoot them selves and their kids with every snake oil the doctor is pushing that week, 55 gallon drums of hand sanitizer, anti-bacterial everything, prescription and OTC drug closets that would make a junkie wet himself...and always sick. I'll stay dirty, unsecured, healthy and happy thank you.

I dunno, we have close to 500 people in our office, and a good chunk use our bathrooms. Swine Flu was going around like crazy. Better safe than sorry, IMHO.
Nothing you can do can save you...your office is no better than a factory farm, disease and sickness will continue to proliferate there until it finds a chink in the armor. When it does...no amount of sanitizer, pills, potions or injections is going to stop it. Dramatic? Maybe True? hey..somethings gotta give.
I had swine flu. My daughter brought it home from school, passed it to the wife and daughter in less than a day, then to me. I hated having it, but am glad I got it instead of the vaccine. That means next year, maybe we can fight it off quicker.
My daughter has light asthma and it sucks. A co-worker was looking at some literature that indicates that her condition may be due to over-medication. She used to have bad ear infections and had to have tubes put in to prevent them. But prior, she was put on anti-biotics way too many times. Hindsight is a great thing and I'd love to know what we could have done differently, but at the time I had no magic ball.

Oh, sorry...strayed off the original topic. Yes, I wash my hands leaving the bathroom because I don't like getting my daughters sick. I'd much rather know some booger breeder from her class room sent it home than me infecting my own brood.
Bushy - I'd say the risk of the farm vs. the office is greater in the office. Farms are one thing, but nothing compares to social exposure; people interacting with other people is how most people-illness is spread. The more people you deal with, and the more kids those people have, the more likely you are to be exposed to people-sick germs. The nasty stuff you handle on the farm my give handlers an infection if it gets under the surface of the skin, but it isn't likely to give you a cold, or teh aIdzzz.
I wash before I touch myself thank you.
Door handles and faucet knobs are dirty....... I like my junk to stay as clean as possible.........So Yes, I wash before I handle my handle

agreed, but
this has absolutely zero to do with using the bathroom.... unless you can give yourself head...or sneeze out your a$$.
My kids still go to public skool and my wife goes to community college so despite my reclusive, introverted, anti-social lifestyle I still have a steady influx of the worlds gems. We still never get sick. Want to hear something gross? Some doctors did a study on childhood booger eating and health. The kids that ate their boogers had significantly less outbreaks of overall sickness, common cold and flu and even less allergies.
And 4 out of 5 couldn't tell the difference between their boogers and the boogers of the family dog, in a blind taste test.
...Speaking of which, I had a dog that loved to eat her own poop, and she never once had a case of swine flu. Think about it.
How many of you are diligent about washing after touching your junk, then later that night put said junk in your girl's mouth? Just sayin'....
I once again owe you rep sir. Bravo.
Wash on the way in, wash on the way out.
I handle stuff all day that I don't want on my junk...
