And everyone you work with thinks YOU are filthy! |

| Hand sanitizers are for when you don't have access to soap and water. Soap and water are better. |

| Seriously, WHO gets POOP on their hands!?! This is something I deal with in my 4 year old. |

Actually, they don't. Most people in my office do the same thing. But I'm glad to see the Psychic Powers Poster is alive and well . . . . |

Not really . . . most people who wash their hands don't do it anywhere near long enough to be effective. |

Ok . . . to the poster who thinks people have poop on their hands when they exit a stall . . .
The poopy handed offender comes out, touches the faucet, gets poop on the faucet, washes his/her hands, touches the poopy faucet, then goes to the paper towels, touches that (gets poop on it) and then opens the door (gets poop on the handle) and every door on his/her way back to the office. I'd much prefer to sanitize my hands at my desk, thank you very much. The dirtiest place in a public bathroom is the door, followed by the faucets. There is more feces on these objects than on the toilet seats. |

Isn't there an old joke about this? A marine and a sailor are peeing next to each other at a urinal, and, as they finish at the same time, the sailor heads to the sink, while the marine heads to the door. The sailor looks at the marine and sneers, "In the Navy, they teach us to wash our hands!" The marine looks at the sailor, and calmly replies, "Well, in the Marines they teach us not to piss on ourselves." |

I guess I don't see the need to do this if I diligently use my hand sanitizer plus I hate having to carry a dirty paper towel outside of the bathroom with me. |

All of you people need to get a grip. Do you eat out? Purchase processed foods? Ever drink water that is not from a bottle (and even that is chancy)? If so, then whether your cube-mate washes her hands is the LEAST of your worries.
Sometimes, you just have to go with the flow (so to speak). |

Bathrooms are dirty. Washing your hands after using one doesn't prevent you from walking out of the bathroom with fecal matter on your hands. It might make you feel better, but people using sanitizer are actually cleaner.
When was the last time you saw someone scrub their hands for 20 seconds after using a public restroom? http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1085204/just_how_clean_are_public_restrooms.html?cat=5 |

| I scrub my hands for 20 seconds. Used to be a nurse. Disgusted by the complete lack of basic sanitation practiced by most people around me. |

| To the nurse - how often to you see other non-medical professionals scrubbing for a full 20 seconds? |

You must be new to DCUM . . . no one on here eats anything but organic food! |

They did a Mythbusters on this exact topic. The bathroom toilet had the least amount of bacteria on it. However, the miniscule amount it did have was pretty bad bacteria. Your kitchen sponge and light switch are the dirtiest things you come into contact with on a daily basis. If you take a dump and don't wash your hands, that is pretty nasty...but if you are just urinating, I don't think it's as bad...pee is sterile. I still wash my hands regardless, but can understand why others may not wash their hands unless they have a BM.
