View Full Version : So how much soap is wasted by people pretending to wash their hands?

So any times i go to the washroom and people are in there, i am standing at the pisser, they zip up and go to the sink, make the automatic soap dispenser make noise, make the water make noise, you can tell for sure they're not even rubbing their hands together, and half the time they grab paper towel, again, just to make noise, but you can tell by the sound of the paper towel that its dry the whole time they're "using" it...


so i was kind of wondering, how much money would be saved if people didn't feel that it was socially unacceptable to not wash their hands? Its a huge waste of water, soap, and paper towel, just to try to bullshit people in to thinking they washed their hands..

Washing for #2's is a not optional - but #1's in a urinal - the only think I touch is my underwear waist band. Not really worth washing hands over and I dont touch anything on the urinal either.

Save money that way too.

Are you don't sit down and pee? Cuz when I'm at a urinal I have to whip my junk out and hold it while I'm pissing.

To be fair, he didn't say that the stream was going into the urinal, could've walked out with a wet leg or two. :D

you wash your hands then open the door as you leave, also opened by all the people who didn't wash hands. so washing was wasted.

TBH i dont wash my hands when i am camping (because obviously there's usually not facilities, but i will obviously still wash before eating) or when i am at somewhere really gross like the bar or the saddledome, touching anything in either of those places is 1000x worst than grabbing my junk, at least i know where that's been.


but at a public washroom or office or whatever, i just cant help but think how much stuff is wasted because only about 10% of people actually wash their hands, like, soap, lather, rinse, dry....

Nah, im lazy so I use my underwear waist band to "guide" the direction - if you catch my meaning. No touching = no need to wash.

Seriously about 10% of people actually wash their hands.

I *always* wash my hands in public restrooms, not because I touch my dick (which is the cleanest part of my body), but because of all the germ-ridden surfaces I touch while out in public. E.g. I feel like I've contracted aids every time I touch a shopping cart handle. :rofl:

I'm sitting on the Shinkansen right now between Osaka and Tokyo, and came across this thread literally right as I was wondering why so many public washrooms in Japan don't have soap or paper towels?? You're lucky if you get a hand dryer, but I'd say less than half actually have soap. I'm not a germaphobe, but for such a clean country, it sure makes me scratch my head... or at least I would scratch my head, if my hands were clean.

And if I have to wash my hands after touching my dick maybe I should be washing it instead of my hands.

There was a guy here at work that never even bothered to pretend to go through the motions. After taking a piss at the urinals, he just went out the door. Every. Fucking. Time. (I bike to work and change in the bathrooms so I bumped into him a lot.)

However, that wasn't the gross part. That goes to the fact that he made the coffee for everyone on the floor most mornings :barf: I wanted to call him out and warn people, but I was new on the floor and had no idea who he or anyone was. By the time I got to know people, he was gone.

For using the urinal and not washing isn't as bad as people on their cell phones all day and shaking your hand, probably more germs. I too don't need to touch my penis when using the urinal but often use the disinfectant right outside the bathroom door causing touching the door handle is just as gross.

I doubt the majority of us wash our hands after taking a whiz at home. Why's that? Simply because it doesn't make any sense to do so.

EVERYTHING you touch is full of bacteria, fecal matter, germs, other life forms, etc. Heck, your whole body is covered in all of that and we're breathing it all in too.

Ya, so go wash your hands and kill dem germs!

true true. I have noticed however that since I started washing my hands frequently while out in public (since the last several years), I rarely get sick. I don't think I've gotten a cold in the last 2 or 3 years, which is pretty amazing considering that recently I've been travelling via airports/trains/buses almost every week since early December.

To clarify, I'm not saying that washing your hands under certain circumstances is futile. For example, it's a damn good idea for health care workers to wash their hands frequently. Ditto for adults who frequently pick their nose or suck their thumb...or other actions which are better left unsaid:)

My point is that in most circumstances, washing your hands to eliminate germs is pointless as we live in a bath of germs. As most things, the whole thing is overblown paranoia and propaganda.

Furthermore, germs were here a lot longer before us bi-peds, and we have such a symbiotic relationship with them that I suspect that if they all somehow died, we would to.

The only time I don't wash my hands if I'm at home is when I'm elbow deep in grease or oil and don't care.

What I find so funny about this thread is that so many people are grossed out by people who don't wash and forget that you can wash your hands all you want but did you touch that paper towel dispenser? What about the taps on the sink? or the door handle?

All those fuckers shitting and not washing then grabbing door handles just makes washing our hands futile!

What I don't get is why most places don't put the trash can beside the door in public washrooms. I also use paper towel to grab that germy door handle. Unless I'm having a michael jordan kind of a day, it's a little tough to free throw that towel ball into a far away trash can with the lid closed. So the end result is a pile of paper towel beside the door.

Y'all are blowing this out of proportion. What difference does it make after you get out of the washroom anyways. Are you sure that restaurant chair you're about to pull out has been 100% sanitized? What about those elevator buttons? Or the stair railings? And then there's CASH? Or what about that PIN pad you're using?

Do you live your life with one of these things? http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/safety-touch

I find most people wash their hands by running cold water over them for less than 1 second. VERY few people use soap, just from my general observations. It's always disturbing in an office environment how many people don't wash at all, or just do the water rinse. Personally I don't see people pretend to wash very often, but I almost never see people use soap.

I also see that more and more places either move the garbage can to the door, or have a second garbage can near the door, because a lot of people don't want to touch the handle. I have seen some door handles designed to be grabbed with your forearm, which is kind of neat. Swinging doors or no doors is the best though.

What I don't get is the Dyson Airblades - what a bad design. As soon as you put your hands in, the air blasts your hands against the sides, completely negating the touchless design. They have a new one now that is kind of reversed and it works a lot better.

My gym has one of those XCELERATOR hand dryers that sound like a jet engine RIGHT above the garbage can haha - worst planning I have ever seen in a bathroom. As soon as it turns on, it empty's the entire contents of the garbage can onto the bathroom floor.

Lastly I remember once I was in the Calgary airport and some guy whipped out his dick and washed it in the sink after peeing haha. Super weird. I guess he wanted to be extra clean.

At the end of the day people's washing habits will never change, and I haven't been sick from it yet (that I know of) so I just continue my normal routine of washing my hands thoroughly multiple times a day.

I like the feeling of clean hands, washing them about as often as I use the toilet seems like the right amount to me, so it's not so much about washing all the pee/poo off my hands, it's just about being clean in general. And I always wash before eating!

I get sick maybe once every three years (went nearly 6 years without taking a sick day at one place I worked) while the rest of our office gets the typical annual flu and other illnesses. Maybe I have an incredible immune system or maybe it's because I'm extremely clean. I always give my hands a good scrub after #1 or #2 and use paper towel on the sink faucet handles and door handle of the washroom on the way out. If anything I'm starting to hate new washrooms that have hand dryers only as it means I have to be very creative in how/where I grab the door handle. A large portion of the male population in my experience doesn't wash their hands after urinating and some even after shitting. I laugh at guys in my gym that think a sprinkle of water on their hands serves as a proper washing which makes it that much worse knowing I am touching those weights but I always ensure when working out never to put my hands near my face. I simply want no part of being in contact with any man's urine or feces even if my immune system is up to the task.

You would be surprised when using a urinal that there is a lot of micro-splatter and if you don't flush with the lid down the toilet is essentially a fecal spray for the room. Regardless of appearance bathrooms are barely one step cleaner than the sewer pipe your toilet is connected to. Fortunately we are blessed with pretty good immune systems but there's no such thing as being too clean.

I wash my hands before giving that white porcelain a golden shower, but mainly because I work with my hands all day and I don't want that on my trouser snake. I doubt the mud/oil covered equipment I'm touching really cares. I'd hate to think of the bacteria/germs on the inside of my gloves.

That's kind of what i'd consider a fake wash too, whats the point of wetting your hands? its not doing anything....

Basically anything that doesn't include soap and some degree of lathering, is a fake wash.

At the hospital, homeless people regularly fake issues and get admitted so they can drink all the hand sanitizer that is in bags in dispensers all over the place and in the washrooms.

Somehow these homeless people got it in their heads that the pucks were sanitary as well and had alcohol in them - didn't matter if it as the big pink ones or the little white ones. Still gross.
