I will say that if this bothered my husband, I'd change. It just doesn't seem like a big deal! I also think this was how I was raised, my parents and brother don't either.

I would completely make a mental note of that if I knew you. I always make a note of kids who come over and don't wash their hands after using the bathroom, too. So gross.

I mean, I wouldn't hide this, I would totally have this same conversation in person if we were friends, but absent it coming up, you wouldn't know. As I said, I always wash my hands outside the home, and at home if we have company. Because the whole point of washing is to stop the spread of

germs. So, yeah, I'm sure plenty of your friends don't wash their hands after peeing in the privacy of their own home and you have no idea.

I'm betting most people I know wash their hands after using the bathroom.

Like your DH, I don't pee on my hands either so I don't always wash my hands.

The consequence of this is that more men are dying from COVID 19 because we don't wash our hands.

It's part of being a man I guess.

Don't get mad. Just accept it.

You've been posting this for years. Most people think you are disgusting. Just accept it.

I am the previous poster.

You have me confused with someone else.

I can accept that you may think I'm disgusting but I don't think you can say "most people" without making yourself look foolish.

One word of advice, please don't pee on yourself. And I hope we shake hands one day!

UPDATE: I talked about this with my husband! He DOES wash his hands every time he pees at home, even in the middle of the night! He had notice that I don't, but it doesn't bother him. He also noted, as I did above, that he doesn't wash his hands after petting the cat or changing diapers.

We do have a kid - in diapers. He does say we need to teach her to wash after every time she pees when we potty train. Le sigh. I guess that means I have to start, do as I say not as I do never works. Marriage is about compromise, and this is one I'm willing to do. In a year or so

You'd loose that bet:

Or at least, maybe "most" do, but for sure plenty don't. And this is looking at PUBLIC restrooms. A whole other level from your own home IMO.

I’m not going to lie. My DH rarely washes his hands at home after #1 but does after #2. It fought it was REALLY strange and gross for the longest time, until ai realized a lot of men justify this sort of thing. Still grosses me out, but I’m not going to leave him over it! Lol

This is so gross. I can’t believe there is even a debate about this. I can understand if you’re saying you admit you get lazy sometimes but to argue that it’s sanitary to not wash hands after you use the bathroom is just plain nasty.

I agree with the one post, we don’t pee on ourselves when taking a piss so it’s not like we’re contaminated or anything. As for going #2, I’d say it’s more typical then not to wash your hands afterwards.

I’ve worked in an all male work setting for 30 years and I assure you my commitment is true. One question for the OP, if you get up in the middle of the night to pee do you go to the sink and wash your hands at 4AM? My point exactly.

Not the OP, but I wash my hands every time.

And this is why I don't want to shake anyone's hand ever again and will use the pandemic as an excuse. People are gross.

If I did get my hand wet or I touched my genitals, i would wash my hand but I don't pee or drip pee on my hand or touch my genitals when I pee. The only thing I touch is dry paper.

If I think I contaminated my hand in some way then yes, I wash it but that doesn't happen very often.

I wash my hands when out in public because I am touching door stalls and door handles and things other people have touched.

Same. I don’t know what others are doing when they pee but under normal circumstances (not on my period for example) all I touch is toilet paper

Toilet paper is actually pretty dirty. I think dirtier than the seat.

?? How is toilet paper on the roll dirty? I don't rub my hand over the side I wiped with? What are you all doing that you are touching the dirty used part of the toilet paper?

And I don't clean the seat in my own home either other than when I am cleaning the bathroom.

This thread is just sad.

+1. My exDH gave my kid giardiasis because he doesn’t wash after the toilet. Thankfully, I never let him use my bathroom when he visits with the kids at my house.

It’s gross. My DC had to take a heavy antibiotic to get rid of it and DC was left lactose intolerant for a couple of months afterwards.

Lol there’s no way you know with any semblance of certainty how your kid got giardiasis but it’s hilarious that you’re blaming your ex just because you can

[Anonymous]

If he shakes it more than three times, he’s playing with it. 😂

Seriously, he’s nasty for not washing his hands. Ball sweat and anything else...

Wash your hands you filthy pigs.

Of course, I know! DC had to be tested. Then when I told him DC had giardia, which is not at all endemic to Washington DC life, he admitted that he had diarrhea since returning from a multi-week overseas trip in an area with poor sanitation where he did not take appropriate precautions. He said he thought he just had diarrhea and didn’t know he had giardia. He went to doc and tested positive.

Honestly, you misogynists are always ready to blame the woman!

May not leave him over it but I’ll be damned he’s going to make me a plate of food.
