Do you wash your hands when you use a public restroom?

[kayman23]

Yes, I do. I find it disgusting that people don't wash their hands after using the restroom.

I don't touch doorknobs or facets, but I still wash my hands.

 

[gmoney]

Yes, I wash my hands after using the bathroom; whether at home or out in public. I'm not crazy, though. I don't go into contortions to not 'touch' anything while using public facilities. To me, that's just plain nuts. I use good judgement, and I think my common sense prevails.

 

[mike_n_herrin]

Always!

Then I need to use the door handle to get out which is covered in germs and whatever else.

me to! i try to time it with someone else coming in or use a paper towel to get out with.

I always make sure i wash my hands and i am a custodian so i have to set an example

Alot of the public bathrooms where I live, everything is electronic. Electronic flushing & electronic sinks. And they've started making it, so there are no doors to the washroom itself, which sounds weird, but it's not.

If I ever have to use a public washroom for anything besides peeing, I always Purell the seat with toilet paper. I also never touch my dick while peeing in public, so I never see a reason to wash my hands - but I do it anyway. I usually Purell them once out of the washroom.

I won't lie. I don't most of the time.

 

[fiorio]

Yes and I use the paper towel to open the door.

me too lol.
i guess 16% out of the 17% who wash hands are gay guys.

 

[Rule-Of-Thirds]

I'm so freakin OCD when it comes to washing my hands that it's not even funny. If I go out to eat somewhere I make a b-line to the bathroom so I can wash my hands. Then I will take a paper towel and use that as a sheath to protect my freshly washed hand from the germ infested door handle.

But there are soooooo many times I see guys in the bathroom not washing their hands. I personally don't think it's the end of the world that they touched their pecker if they took a leak, I just think of it from a germ perspective and the possibility of getting sick. That's what keeps me washing my hands all the time.

I'm a horrible germophobe. Not only do I wash my hands with warm water and soap after using the restroom, but I wash about every hour or two, just because my hands start to feel dirty. I don't touch door handles, steering wheels (except my own), hand rails, you name it; and if I have to, I wash my hands the first chance I get. In winter months, I usually wash my hands enough for the air to make them dry, cracked, and bloody. Its not uncommon for my knuckles to split daily. And yes, I DO dry them well with a towel!

You should apply moisturizers on your skin, I also wash my hands a lot and I used to have dry, cracked and bloody looking skin on my hands, but ever since I started using moisturizing lotions the problem has disappeared. Every time I wash my hands and dry them I make sure to put on lotion (I buy the small 3.25 FL oz bottles that can fit in my pocket). I tend to use one that has colloidal oatmeal since it's a protectant (against cold weather) and it’s supposed to heal the skin from dryness and cuts caused by it; although, I sometimes use Vitamin E (an anti-oxidant, which is supposed to make your skin look younger and protect it from free radical damage) moisturizer.

Well the past few years I've used A+D Ointment on my hands every few days. I slather it on really thick before I go to bed, and cover my hands in socks. When I wake up I wash off the extra ointment and they are nice and smooth. However, it usually takes my knuckles cracking to do it again because it is annoying and smelly.

 

[Leavemealone]

yup. always.

 

[tomersh]

always...even if it's not a public bathroom...always....

Then use non-greasy lotion like I told you. I've only tried Aveeno, Lubriderm and Suave and from those I like Suave the best because it absorbs quickly. If you don't like fragrance on lotions then use the Vitamin E Suave or the powdery fresh Suave. Now I don’t see the point of you using that ointment you mentioned since you only use it at night and if you’re washing your hands multiple times a day I’m sure it won’t do any good unless you apply lotion on every time you wash them. Like I told you in the previous thread I wash my hands dry them and then I apply the lotion every time I wash them and my hands look nice.

Also, I buy the body lotions because I see no point in buying a hand lotion and a separate body lotion; why waste extra money when you can use the body lotions all over your body. I always put lotions on my face and upper body and hands before going to class.

Def. Two times
Before I use it and after I finish

 

[tx_doc]

Always wash my hands.
I know so many of the guys at my office don't, even after taking a crap. I wash my hands in case I ever come across anything they happened to touch. I don't want to possibly ingest their fecal matter when it comes time for me to eat a snack.

 

[Ryuukie]

Well, I usually lick the urinals. Do you think I should still wash my hands?

 

[thiskidd24]

yes of course.. but i rarely see older men wash their hands!
