I've seen lots of men wee and exit without so much as rinsing their hands in our workplace.

I get an urge to follow them out onto the landing where there is a meeting area and shout at them and point, but I don't.
 
To those not washing after a pee - I don't want to touch your Johnson by proxy.

Also I'd wager after being in your sweaty boxers in this weather its probably a bit "tangy".
 
To those of you saying you only rinse - bear in mind that even if everyone else fully washes their hands every time, they don't before touching the taps. By touching them and merely rinsing, you have now liquefied and spread everything everyone else has had on their hands around on yours. That's before you start to take in to account then touching doors on the way out with wet hands, and the nastiness of people that don't wash at all.

Rinsing isn't only pointless - it's dirtier than just not bothering.
 
I constantly amazed at how disgusting people are, particularly in work. Isn't the statistic that 30% of all office cups have fecal matter on them?

Today I was having a wee and someone dropping one in the neighbouring cubical had a quick wipe ran the sink for about 5 seconds for I can only assume was the illusion of washing and then left.

I have to touch things that these people use. Its grim.

I suspect that the solution to your problem lies in washing your own hands, and your own cups, plates, etc, before eating.

Rather than following everyone else around to make sure they wash after they pee.

After all, through the course of a day, your cup will grown its own bacteria, and gather dust, insect droppings, and all sorts of nasty things. So wash it before you fill it with something you want to drink?

See technically that is wrong - number 1 you have definitely touched genitals but with wiping your bum you never actually touch the bum so in essence is cleaner and less disease ridden....... : :D

If your genitals are disease ridden, perhaps you should go see your doctor?;)

Yes thats exactly what I do, follow people around :rolleyes:

The cup(s) I use throughout the day are cleaned regularly. Thanks for your concern though.

Keyboards and mice however if you're in a support role aren't cleaned as easily.

So are your armpits and many other parts of your body. I bet you don't immediately wash your hands if you scratch do you?

So you wash your hands with soap and then reapply the mess you just washed off when you turn the tap off.

I wouldn't shake your hand if I'd just had mine in arm pit no. Just plain common courtousy.

Let me put it another way, would people be happy with someone wiping their tackle on their keyboard? Would they be happy shaking someone's hand if they'd just witnessed them hand down pants scratching their crown jewels? I'd wager not.
 
How can people not wash hands after going to the toilet in this day and age? It baffles me. It takes literally 30 seconds and helps stop disease and **** spreading; even if it's not disease from going to the loo, washing hands regularly is basic common hygiene. I bet those people don't brush their teeth or shower much either.
 
I always wash my hands. If it's a wee, then I don't use soap. If it's a poo then of course I do. I don't understand why people just can't be bothered, so it seems, to keep your hands clean.

I'm disgusted by a friend of mine who doesn't wash his hands after a wee, and I don't want to shake it again...I've told him this and he doesn't care.
 
Yeah, happens at my work too. Some dweeb comes out of the cubicle having laid a big fudge dragon for all the world to see, m'kay, then walks straight out. Even worse, is when I go into the cubicle, see a nice unsuspecting toilet, m'kay, and see an unflushed fudge dragon, so I'll go to the other bogs at the opposite end of the corridor. M'kay.
 
Don't people find it disgusting just rinsing their hands without using soap?

I find it nasty. Soap actually lifts out grease/oil and actually leaves your skin feeling and smelling clean.

Rinsing just adds water with the oil on your skin and it leaves them feeling worse than they were before.

I also hate moisturising hand wash for this reason, it feels like my hands are drenched in oily crap.
