Board 8 > Do you always wash your hands after using the bathroom?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Serious question, since I was looking up statistics on this today and was kind of mortified.

Anyone who says no needs to seriously rethink their life.

always is a lofty term. Was there one time in my entire life that I didn't? Probably. But 99% of the time I do. Since you said always though, I responded no.

I agree. But I ended up looking at some papers today and apparently only 40% of men and 60% of women do.

I have only ever seen this happen once, and I was horrified.

I mean, if your sink is broken or you are out in the woods with no wipes, I think that doesn't count.

That seems horribly, disturbingly low.

Always when I poop, but I've been known to take a quick whizz and then touch people's foods with reckless abandon

Yes and it disturbs me how many people spend fewer than 15 seconds washing their hands.

Yes, i am judging people.

you never see how they tell you to use a towel to touch the sink handles and the bathroom door? it's because half the people are touching the door with their shithands

Been doing that for years at this point

Not only do I wash my hands every time I use the bathroom, but I also carry a bottle of Purell with me because of all the people that don't wash their hands.

I also work with technology at schools and I've gotten sick so many times even with using Purell since I touch devices used by everyone every day. That said, I sometimes forget to sanitize my hands after, and so I end up using plenty of sick days thanks to people not cleaning their hands properly. I guess there's a reason why my job gives me 10 sick days per year.

While I'm happy that yes is winning, this poll is still cliser than I'd like.

a lot more germophobes here than I was expecting

Do you not go out often or just not pay attention?

I feel like those numbers are high, especially for the women.

I would agree there are some germophobes in this topic

It's not the people who voted yes, though. Carrying around purell and needing at least 15 seconds of hand washing, maybe.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I pretty much always wash my hands (the only exception being sometimes if I wake up in the middle of the night to pee and I'm still half asleep)

But like, the idea of some people not washing their hands after they pee isn't like horrifying to me or anything, and I'm surprised it is to so many people here

I am a proud germophobe.

*Uses some Purell on my hands just because*

Hey as long as you own it I'm not judging

Man that's like the last thing you need to worry about with Subway

What's disturbing is the fact that (at my Subway at least) employees can't call off when they're sick

And also a crazy long list of things I shouldn't post publicly
---

Because you used the word "Always" that's a no.
"Most of the Time"- yes.

Always? No.
Why bother washing my hands after I take a quick piss if I'm just going to be right back to working on this greasy piece of gear, or some other still unsanitary part of the job? There's no point.

Would you like if people slapped their dick across your hand or your food or whatever

Because it's basically the same thing!

Uhh, file a complaint with OSHA. Immediately. Stop posting and contact OSHA.

I hate when food service workers can't do this. It just makes it even more obvious that those companies don't care about their employees, customers, or basic food safety. It literally and figuratively makes me sick.

It's also illegal.

Man you'd be surprised what people can get away with and sweep under the rug

I mean hell our owner has literally let her dogs run around in the food prep area, in front of customers, and when customers complained Subway's response was basically to send an email saying "Hey, don't do that"

Honestly this is true

For me, at least, I voted yes not so much because I find it abhorrent to not wash your hands after taking a piss every once in a while, but rather because I pretty much just do it out of complete habit at this point. Like yeah it's kinda gross not to, but a lot of things people you touch touch are kinda gross, most of the time probably grosser than a dick-- like my dick on average is probably significantly more sanitary than the average person's desk due to showering daily, and I'm not flipping out when someone touches me after they've touched their desk.

So if it was something I was actually thinking about, yeah I would probably skip washing hands after peeing every once in a while when I knew I was immediately gonna be getting my hands dirty again, sure. But I never do because yeah it's just 100% habit.

I still think the percentages are kinda alarming though because if it's not 100% habit to you I feel that's kinda reason for concern in and of itself, but whatever.

I don't think it's necessary to wash your hands after every single time if you're just taking a leak, but I also think it's a good idea to wash your hands regularly regardless and using the bathroom just provides a convenient opportunity to do so.

That's why people need to go above corporate.

I drink a ton of water. Washing every time for me is just excessive. I dont get sick often either.

That's probably a much better reason to be concerned about people not doing it every time than SEP's dick slapping angle at least.

Its all in your head. The skin on your dick is no different than the skin on the rest of your body unless you have warts or something. Maybe just a little sweatier.
