1. I only wash once after each trip to the bathroom.

2. Always. And I wish all other guys would, too.
In my the work restroom, I have see guys leave smelly bathroom stalls and just blithely walk out of the john, without so much as a drop of soap or H2O hitting their hands.

Wish that they'd clean it up -- literally.

13. thread hijack alert -- hey, Rezmutt
My sis & bro-in-law were at the game on Saturday too. Heard K-Rod wowed 'em in the 8th (?)!

The AL West is nothing if not suspenseful. :bounce:

3. Who would say "rarely" or "never" when
Edited on Tue Aug-17-04 01:19 PM by Q3JR4
they can say "sometimes"? Once in a year can be thought of as "sometimes"--granted it's a stretch of the word. That being said, I never leave a bathroom without washing my hands with soap and water. Other guys who do disgust me (no offense or anything).

5. Always when I poo.
Only sometimes when I pee.

My genitals are cleaner than their sink.

11. But dude...
if you touch the handles, or the doorknob, and you're in there after some nasty guy who just shat and didn't wash... ???

Then you're touching YOUR stuff with THEIR poo germs!

12. Nope.
I open the door with a paper towel.

Seriously. The toilet seats are the cleanest things in a public restroom. Next come the sinks. The door handle is pretty bad, BUT...

...by far the worst is the light switch. They rarely bother to clean it, so it really builds up.

16. Smart
The paper towel thing. I do that too... after I dry my hands I use it to open the door.

I guess as long as you feel the toilet flusher handle things are clean... I wish more places had the ones that flush automatically when you get up... much less ick factor. You can also always flush with your foot... I've done that in park restrooms where there aren't even any sinks. WTF is up with that? I need remember to start carrying hand sanitizer.

9. Moises Alou of the Cubs urinates on his hands
To avoid calluses. His teammates no longer shake hands with him..

“I notice guys don't want to shake hands with him,” Cubs manager Dusty Baker said. “Everybody just gives him the fist.”

Alou was none too happy that the story sprayed — er, spread — like it did. All he wanted to do was avoid calluses forming on his hands while not using batting gloves, and here he is, off to his best start in years, having to explain his bathroom habits.

“It's like saying what you do at home,” he said. “When I go home, I don't want anybody to know what I do.”
