I used to think that Adam should wash his genitals in the sink right after using the toilet at work cause since he’s into bestiality.

But now Jack tells me the entire bathroom get gray and cloudy when Adam is using the toilet so I’m thinking that Katie should call the cleaning lady to wash the entire stall after Adam uses it.

Can’t be too safe.

But when you use the toilet without first washing your hands, that’s precisely what you’re doing. Y’all are nasty!!!

One of her main drills was to not touch the water faucet or the door after you’ve washed your hands – you use a paper towel to avoid them (like mentioned above).

I use this when I can, but at a more recent job, I was faced with a roomful of women who’d apparently heard this rule, but turned it on its ear and as a result, totally grossed me out. They’d use the facilities, then come out and use their dirty hands to pump the paper towel mechanism to have some ready for after they washed their hands. Hello?!? Ew.

We can get past this.

I’m right there with you on the hand sanitizer. I don’t exactly rub my face all over sick people in the subway (except Kamran), but I don’t use antibacterial soap, and I don’t use hand sanitizer, and I get sick a quarter as often as everyone I know. I think it’s largely because growing up on the farm, I didn’t think much of touching pigbutt and then putting my hands in my mouth. Swine poo, you see, is entirely less gross than human poo.

However, I do take paper towels with me out of bathrooms so I don’t have to touch door handles. And then leave them in conspicuous places so someone else has to pick them up.

Wait, I just realized that makes me seem even MORE obsessive-compulsive.

But as far as post-defacation/urination handwashing goes, it’s like, would it kill ya? Since TEH SWINE, my school is covered in automatic, hands-free Purel dispensers, and my reasons for ignoring them are many (OK, 3: #1, I don’t like the idea of the Purel company profiteering from a health panic, #2, the plastic dispensers are environmentally unfriendly, and #3, when the real plague that comes to claim everyone, my immune system, unfettered by overzealously using alcohol-based gel, will be hardy and ready to fight back). I don’t wash my hands obsessively, but I do after I hit the ladies’. Then I touch the door handle and render it all null and void.

That being said, I wash my hands every time I’m in the bathroom… just not necessarily because I *used* the bathroom.
