Do you always wash your hands after using the WC?

Do you? I know a lot of people don't and I can't understand why. It doesn't take so much of your time or energy to simply wash your hands. Do you feel fresh if you don't do it?

I always wash my hand afther using the WC. I feel awful if I don't do it. But in winter, it is really very very cold when I wash my hand. I think that is the main reason why some people do not wash their hand afther using the WC in winter.

But it's just to wash it with warm water, then it won't get cold? I asked the same question on a swedish site and 35% answered they don't wash their hands after using the WC. And that's not just in the winter..

Ooo, yuck. I can't imagine not washing my hands after using the bathroom. That is just gross. But what really worries me is in restaurants, do they wash their hands there? If they don't, that really contaminates the food- I don't want to eat food handled by someone who didn't wash his hands! I notice that they have signs in the diners and places that say "Employees must wash hands" I hope they dont' have to tell them that, it would seem obvious to me!

Well, haven't you seen those insider programs on TV which shows you how it goes inside the restaurants? I've seen chefs spit in the food, putting buggers in it, pee in the coffee can, and drop a steak on the floor but serving it anyway... This was in 30 different restaurants in the US, I don't remember which state.

Personally for me, especially if I am away from home, I find it very necessary to wash my hands after using the restroom. To me there is nothing worse than not doing so as you never know what germs might be lingering in that place, or especially that restroom as well. Since I am prone to getting Sick a lot anyways I feel that at least if I am always washing my hands and keeping them clean then I never have that one for an excuse why I might have gotten sick.

Yes I always wash my hands after using the WC. I'm not sure how people cannot because it leaves your hands feeling dirty & with germs/bacteria. It's best to wash hands to protect from colds. I agree with you. Have a wonderful day mylotting! Pablo

Ok, Ill be honestly brave and say that Im one who doesnt always wash their hands after using the bathroom. If Im doing #1 (Im a female, so no private part touching) and Im NOT working with or making food, but just going to watch tv or something afterwards, no, I dont always wash. If I do #2, I definitely wash my hands no matter what Im doing afterwards cause thats just nasty and I dont need to smell it on me afterwards...gross! Addedly, whenever I work with food, I always wash my hands prior to be sanitary and if Im working with poultry, Ill not only wash my hands prior to touching it, but will rewash them after done preparing the poultry so to not contaminate the rest of the food. Hope I didnt gross anyone out lol.

Oh my God, I am shock that you know as lot of people who don't. I don't know anyone who does. I would not want to know anyone who does. How nasty? I hope you don't eat from them. I always wash my hand after I use the bathroom. I saw one lady walk out the rest room without washing her hands, and I was tempted to tell her to wash her hands.
