and i don't mean raw meat, but greasy or sticky cooked food that you normally eat with your hands like fried chicken, pizza, chocolate etc. when i'm at home i always wash my hands with soap and water after touching those foods 'cos i don't like getting greasy or sticky stuff on other things i touch afterwards. besides, i don't like having smelly hands. when i eat in a restaurant i usually don't wash my hands immediately unless they're really dirty like after eating shell fish. i'm too lazy to go to the restroom:) so instead, i just wet my napkin and wipe my hands with it. but as soon as i get home i wash my hands. how about you?

Oh definitely! As soon as I finish eating, I will wash my oily fingers with soap and water. I might first clean off the grease with tissue for easy cleaning too.

I wash my hands because I don't think wiping my hands with napkins cut it. Sure, they get most of it off, but the greasy feeling still remains after wiping your hands with a napkin. So the first chance I get to wash my hands, I will. I don't like when my hands are sticky.

Yes, I always wash my hands after eating food with my hands. I can't stand having grease or smears on my hands. xD
