I wash them twice, before and after

Also depends on what exactly you are doing in the restroom. With peeing my hands are probably no dirtier than before. After all, modern humans tend to take a shower every day, dirt doesn't build up within a few hours

It might also be different with women, who usually sit down. Glad I am not woman, I would feel like taking a shower 10x a day

Only if I use the toilet, but then again, I rarely go to the restroom just to visit. Hehehe.

Yeah, you just visit and look around, like a tourist on a sight-seeing trip

Wow, beautiful pisswork here on the tiles, late 17th century, right? ^^

I wash my hands with soap and hot (as warm as I can stand it) water every time I use the bathroom, even at home and even in the middle of the night. It's a habit from my childhood.

the one day "Food Safe" I took up here scared the daylights out of me.
Only half of men wash their hands, the stats say. And I've confirmed that in washrooms.
I don't even want to think about my construction sites with jiffy johns.
the Horror; the Horror

I wash them a lot more often than that. But I also don't think its as bad as handling public surfaces and not washing well.

yes, it is, google it.....

I started this thread to bring awareness to those who do not, b/c if there are people in there, they are watching you, to see if you wash your hands.....believe you me....

Like I said, a man at work told me I'd be shocked at how many men do not wash their hands. (ugh) Nasty!

To the posters who said "before and after" Before? Huh? When I need to visit the restroom, It's usually kind of an urgent need to get taken care of first, then I wash my hands.
