What percentage of people wash their hands when leaving public restrooms?

Question

Men?

Women?

I observe 5-10% of Men wash their hands, which is really literally sickening.

I don't touch the door handle, and if I have to handle a key or whatever I hand it back with a paper towel

Then we all handle the same currency, revolting.

Answer 1

In Japan I'd say 90% of men wash their hands. For women its probably higher (just a guess). Kids maybe 50%.

Me 100%

Answer 2

I would say less than 5% of men and maybe 50% of women. Anyway not near enough of them do. I wash my hands so much they stay dry all the time. I'm pretty compulsive about it, you could ask my husband he says I wash to much. I think its pretty nasty though to go to the bathroom and not wash afterwards, but also you should hold on to the paper and open the door so you don't touch that handle that all the non-washers have. If somewhere doesn't have towells then open door with shirt or something. Most of the time I have a dish rag or wash cloth in my pocket-book just in case.

Answer 3

Recently someone did some observing to gather data and the numbers were really low. In my observation the numbers are WAY lower than they should be. Speaking only of women here.

At work I'd estimate a fair 50% of women wash their hands. In public that number would drop to 30% at best.

Ew.

Answer 4

I have observed the same phenomenum. I not only wash my hands but when leaving I will take my wet towel so I wont have to touch the door handle.

Answer 5

I believe I see about 7 out of 10 women wash their hands,
no stats on the men.. sorry

Answer 6

i observe about 8 out of 10% of women washing there hands, but after touching the door and whatever else on your way out are they really clean after all?

Answer 7

I think more women wash their hands then men. Most of the women I am in the bathroom with wash their hands. I heard that most men don't unless they need to sit.

Answer 8

It really is a moot point when you realize that 100% of the men touch the door handle on their way out!

Answer 9

I always always always wash my hands...and I use the paper towel I dry my hands with to open the door because a lot of guys don't wash their hands....leaving...uuhhh....all that disgusting on the door handle.

Answer 10

I cant watch over the rest of the world but most girls i see wash there hands, ughh i cant imagine leaving a bathroom without washing my hands.
