Was sitting in a stall and heard a guy leave the urinal and loudly bitch to nobody in particular that he didn't touch his dick while pissing so he wasn't going to wash his hands, because, "fuck that shit." Why are people like this?

People won't.

COVID's most important lesson is that it's the fucking Wild West and we're all stuck doing our best to protect ourselves.

No, we have a vaccine now so its not an epidemic anymore.

I can save myself, it's you dull fucks I can't save myself from.

I miss the day where it was illegal to smell someone's aweful breath and bo

Be the change you want to see in the world. There's so much political bullshit around masking that people do it even less than they used to pre-covid, including healthcare workers.

I was on a plane a few months ago and I swear to god half the plane was visibly sick. Coughing contantly, rubbing snot from their nose, looking upset. Etc. Zero had masks. This was an international flight so it wasn't even a US thing. The world is universally fucking stupid.

Anytime I go shopping, especially at Costco or Target, there will be at least one person coughing in the open, no mask or anything. I make a beeline away from them as fast as I can, but sometimes I just wish I could yell at these people for being selfish idiots…

Yeah it really really isn't. https://www.publichealthontario.ca/en/Data-and-Analysis/Infectious-Disease/COVID-19-Data-Surveillance/Wastewater

While the door handle is an obvious thing, washing hands when using the restroom is also a great way to regularly wash hands without needing a schedule!

this assumes you don't wash your dick everytime you go to the bathroom

Your phone is the dirtiest thing you carry around. If you never clean it, it's dirtier than the toilet bowl.

Reminder to wash your phone! Wipe it down with a damp cloth, then douse it all over in ISO alcohol and wait 1 minute before drying. I do this every day or 2, because I'm not a grotty cunt... Well I am, but I ungrot myself as often as I remember.

When you flush a toilet, urine and feces are splashed around the room in droplet form.

That's a horrible excuse to have disgusting hands

I'll agree on not using antibacterial soap all the time. There's plenty of soaps that aren't antibacterial but still help remove contaminants. People should definitely at least wash their hands with hot water. It's one thing to harbor trace amounts of bacteria, but no one should be spreading urine or fecal matter to every surface they touch.

One of the first things they taught in my micro bio class is that no single bacteria is bad. What is bad is when they are where they shouldn't be. This makes the point of hand washing more or less to remove bacteria that may be problematic being on your hands where you could spread them to vulnerable areas.

Regular hand soap is perfectly fine. It may dry your hands out from overuse, but as soon as you touch any part of your body (like your arms or face) your hands would be inoculated with your body's natural flora that resides on your skin.

Antibacterial soap would be the larger issue, as a lot of them have what is called a persistent effect. This persistent effect means that the antibacterial agent leaves traces of itself behind and will kill any bacteria that is susceptible to it. While good if used responsibly for people like surgeons to eliminate/reduce any stray bacteria during a procedure, this can lead to the same sort of scenario we have with antibiotics where some bacteria may develop a resistance to it, which could also include pathogenic varients/strains.

Washing hands a few times a day when using the restroom is infrequent enough to not be considered washing them all the time. There are hours to get some bacteria, but washing a few times a day reduces the volume so your body doesn't need to fight as hard.

Yeah, your immune system needs exercise just like the rest of your body.

My office at work is across from the men's room. This meme is me.

So many times a day this happens and I work with these fucks.

Wash your damn hands
