Was it your statement? You have two accounts? If not, how would you know what they meant?


Your link isn't a global list. It's not relative. Doesn't say anything about the U.S. That article is also self reported data which is useless. That measures honesty more than actions.

Not sure if there is a correlation, but interesting nevertheless.

"T O R O N T O, Sept. 19, 2000 -- Apparently the city that never sleeps is also too busy to wash up. A new survey of public restroom habits in five U.S. cities finds New York commuters are least likely to clean their hands after using the restroom."


Chicagoans were the cleanest in that study, most likely to wash their hands. We'll see how that plays out.
