Do you only wash your hands after using a public bathroom if there are other people around?

Question

This is more for guys because we well, take leaks differently. But as far as I go, if the restroom is empty, I'll just take a quick piss at the urinal and then head out. If there are others around, I'll quickly wash my hands so as not to seem dirty.

And before everyone goes "eww you don't wash your hands?" I firmly believe that my urine excretion device is much cleaner than the handles on the faucets, the paper towel dispensers or air hand dryers, and the door. So I would probably be getting more germs on my hands after washing. Unless of course the restroom has the motion detecting sinks/dryers.

Of course, I only do this when I'm in a hurry at school or at work. I HAVE to wash my hands before I eat any meals to be able to enjoy them, especially out in public (sometimes if I make something small and easy at home that only requires a utensil to eat, I'll skip it). And if there's any "splashing" during my urinal usage, I will definitely wash.

I don't eat french fries.

Answer 1

lmao, I do that alot. my old friend used to be like, "eww you don't wash your hands?" when she was in the bathroom with me i was like ugh. it used to piss me off so much. I really don't get why you need to wash your hands. I don't touch anything in a public bathroom, and if i had to wash my hands, the sink faucet would have way more germs than anything else so that would make you have to wash your hands. i kick the stall door open, and i flush the toilet with my foot too.

Well I'm not a guy but I am guilty of doing this in my past. Then about 10 years ago I was in a McDonalds restroom, when a woman came out of a stall, walked to the mirror, put her MCDONALD'S visor on, and walked out the door. I was standing right beside her and she made no attempt to even pretend to wash her hands and then proceeded to go out and prepare those tasty burgers. That was a life changing moment for me. I wash my hands thoroughly, always. Even in the middle of the night when I get out of bed to pee!
