Ditto. Use a paper towel to open door, then chuck towel.touching the bathroom door deserves a hand wash
yep. or use your feet to open the doorDitto. Use a paper towel to open door, then chuck towel.
you either have weird doors or monkey feet.yep. or use your feet to open the door
you cant push a door open with your foot?you either have weird doors or monkey feet.
if working around greasy equipment or slicked up whores, then yesanyone 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.
our bathroom door at work opens inward for some reason.you cant push a door open with your foot?
the mental image of your turd docking through an airlock into a sterile bag is not a good one...I use sterile technique in the bathroom.
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.)...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.
Actually, I have a few folks in my service who have OCD and I ain't got nothin on them!OCD'ers w/ their hand-sanitizers will spell the end of the human race.

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.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.
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 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.

agreed, butWashing 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.
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.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.
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.The kids that ate their boogers had significantly less outbreaks of overall sickness, common cold and flu and even less allergies.
