Three for one deal…
First one, washing your hands after using the restroom, the sign on the glass applies to you too, not only the employees, duh.
Ok, so you think your pecker is clean and that you didn’t graze your butt cheek when you wiped your hairy butt. I don’t care….I dare you to go let one of your kids lick your fingers…They are going to anyway, do you hold their hand when you leave the store / restaurant? Then they stick their fingers in their mouth.
Scenario
You finish eating and to take a leak, you leave the bathroom and didn’t wash your hands, you touch the door handle on the way out, you make your way back to your seat and grab the back of the chair and pull it up to the table, the waitress brings you the check, you see something funny and you grab the menu to verify a price, when you pay you take the check book and put your card in it, then you take your kids hand and when you leave you grab the door handle to leave.
See…you’re a dumba$$
Second…If you work at a restaurant and you have long neck type apron or any other, you were probly told to hang your apron on the back of the door, right…stupid..
Ok, you go into the bathroom, you do your thing. What do you do next. You flush or pull up then you grab your apron with those nasty hands. Then just maybe you’ll wash them too, or will you wait and wash them in the kitchen area just so you won’t have to wash them twice. If you wait to wash them in the kitchen sink you put your dirty hands on the faucet knobs, wash your hands then turn the knobs off, which are now dirty from putting your hands on them before…stupid…now they are dirty again.
Third..For the people who do wash their hands…
You wash your hands, all clean huh…yeah right…how did you turn the water off? With your clean hands?…ok,so you used a paper towel to turn them off…did you grab the bare handle on the way out? Remember those twenty people who didn’t wash their hands who have grabbed that handle?
Some people say its their hands, I don’t care if they wash them or not…Do you have kids?
Do your kids like someone’s crotch on their hands? Do you?
And yes, you do have the right and you should tell people to wash their hands..If they didn’t touch anything on the way out then find, but these idiots do touch stuff you, your wife, girlfriend, son, daughter do.

BRAVO!!! You cannot imagine the concern that overwhelms me everytime the family and I are out in public and the 2 year old says “I need to go to the potty…”. The amount of CRAP that I’ve seen, literally smeared all over, what I’m sure started out as a clean toilet, makes me want to scream. Attention: ALL YOU DIRTY MORONS OUT THERE WHO DON’T CLEAN YOUR HANDS, FLUSH THE TOILET WHEN YOU’RE DONE, CAN’T AIM STRAIGHT, BM SMEARFANS… *SMACK*! WAKE THE HELL UP! Other thoughful citizens you share this planet with deserve a clean area to take a dump in you know!
But are you washing your hands properly? 20 seconds under warm running water washing between fingers under fingernais etc.
Actually I beleive we are sanitizing ourselves our of existence. If we don’t get any grubbys in us how will we ever know how to fend them off?

I think we are quite the opposite of “sanitizing ourselves out of existence”. Ever-increasing population densities, increased ability to travel bringing illness much farther and faster, bodies weakened by the constant chemical soup in which we live, sealed indoor environments awash in cheap florescent lightning that doesn’t have the sun’s strength to kill viruses… one could make a case that we’re more at risk than ever before. And it’s not just that: it’s the lack of concern and basic etiquette exhibited by our fellow humans: I don’t want your urine/feces/genital exudate or skin oils on anything of mine; I don’t care how free of germs it is. People should know better, and care enough to be polite.
Well actually the incidese of disease has a direct corrolation to the propensity to sanitize. In other words when you look at the charts (no not Al Gores charts) when we get into requiring more and more sanitizing the infiltration of disease increases on the large scale. You can look at prisons and schools and such and get quite the opposite results on a small scale but that does not take into consideration the ammunity of such populations. Think about it disease that never existed before take AIDS for example never known till the 80s what if it really was there but becuase of the germaphobic nature of society it ony recently has be able to be virulant?
And only one last jab here although not sanitizing…. what about the antibiotic resistant bacterias they get that way be being exposed….the disucssion can really go deep here into plasmids, genetics, immunology etc. etc.

“Well actually the incidese of disease has a direct corrolation to the propensity to sanitize.”
Sorry but there is little or no body of scientific evidence that supports this or anything that you wrote after it.
I believe you have attributed causation to factors that are not causative.
All this talk about germs…I wash my hands all the time and its not really to kill the germs but the get the stuff off my hands…
People are relying too much on hand sanitizer, you can dip a turd in hand sanitizer and its still gonna be a turd,although a germ free one.
No excuse for not washing you hands,if you want to use sanitizer afterward thats good too.
If I pee on my hands and then rub sanitizer on them , are they clean enough for me to fix your food?
>>>>
One more to add…I hate it when a restroom has a pull type door and no paper towels..only a blow dryer. I end up having to use tp to open the door.

Yes even the bible supports’ washing of hands is not as all fire important as we as a society make it! Jesus and I don’t know the exact quote but it goes something like this it is what man puts his mind that difilith him not what he puts in his mouth. One source suggests over 75% of common colds are psychosamatic.
Now don’t get me wrong I don’t want a sanitized terd in my quarter pounder any more than anyone else. But I have never taken my burger back for having a hair in it! I will simply pull the hair out usually of the mouth and continue enjoying my burger. (Never once has it made me sick).
And Mr. Squeeky I don’t know what sources you use but there is clear evidence and acceptance that bacteria become antibiotic resistant. However to a less degree these organisms quickly and easily become resistant to sanitizers and disinfectants. Its all about genetic mutation…..In the lab is is very easy beginning micro to insert a plasmid into a bacteria which will create lets say beta lactum resistance. (a very common scenario). With the modification of genetic material bacteria can and do produce different proteins which react differently with certain antibiotics and sanitizers reducing their effectiveness.
And as far as immunology surly your not denying that the human body has the clear cut ability to develop resistance to certain bacteria and viruses. In order for the body to create the “antibodies” to an organism it must have been exposed to that organism such that washing away all such organisms leaves us (our body or immune system) without the knowledge of how to resist these organisms. You see these organisms have a protein structure somewhere upon them depending on what exactly your talking about. Our body when exposed to this foreign protein creates a lock and key sorta model of this protein in its opposite in which will fit over this protein like a glove and have common known proteins around it which the body will not recognize as foreign. This lock and key model deactivates the virulence or such organisms thus creating immunity, Thank God it works (we no longer have polio in this country because of this fact) and its all due to exposure.
Source (any microbiology book and any immunology book)….
Now granted Ill give you the aids scenario is a purly hypothetical and speculative statement for illustrative purpose only and the infiltration into human population is more likely a mutation on the part of the virus as opposed to lake of exposure.
To wash or not to wash?
to OCD or not to OCD?

Oh and hey Im with ya supersport396 on the pull handles in the public restrooms and no paper towels. You have to bare hand the feces laden door handle. And worse yet are those restrooms where they post these awful signs telling you to put paper towels in the trash not on the floor. why dont they get a brain and put a trash bin next to the door by the door handle for all of us OCD types.

mark,
Overall, sanitation and cleanliness has made us more healthy, not less healthy on the whole. Certainly there are diseases that are more infectious because of adaptations, but claiming that “In other words when you look at the charts (no not Al Gores charts) when we get into requiring more and more sanitizing the infiltration of disease increases on the large scale,” is simply not accurate.
Your claim that AIDS developed because of the germaphobic nature of society (and the implied sanitizing) is simply incorrect.
Again, you can throw around the words of immunology and attempt to connect concepts together, but your response doesn’t support your original claims and probably wouldn’t pass muster on even the most basic college immunology quiz.
Obviously you have not cracked your immunology or micro books in a while.
While you can obtain data that sanitizing has made us more healthy, (i.e. when we clean we don’t get sick as often) as I stated above is clearly and unarguably true on the small scale. Within community and community groups. So yes it could stand to reason that it takes more and more cleaning and sanitizing to protect a more and more susceptible population.
Or even if you look at my third reference below it talks about transmitting MRSA via not using proper sanitization techniques, Well had we not created MRSA to begin with then it wouldn’t be a problem would it?
However when you look at reality the incidence has increased. Here is one small article supporting that fact that food bourn illness has increased in the last decade, they present some reasons as to why none however mentioning the susceptibility of populations to certain organisms increasing. http://www.aces.edu/dept/extco.....l6a01.html
Here is more support for the fact there is a rise. Certainly you wouldn’t argue that we are less clean today than we were 100 years ago?
http://www.afic.org/What%20you.....llness.htm
And as I stated the aids example was for illustrative purposes only. As far as aids is concerned the virulence of aids has indeed increased at least 2 times since its discovery. This is due to exposure of the virus to populations not due to populations changing. So you see there is a two fold exposure one to the pathogen and the other to the victim of the pathogen.
If you really want to debate this please bring verifiable facts and documented sources to the table instead of using mudslinging tactics such as “is simply not accurate.”
Certainly I understand my argument is counter intuitive, may be really iritating to some, disgusting to other but, I want my antibiotics and a clean environment as much as anyone else. The degradation of human immunity and the strengthening of pathogenic organisms in our world today are undeniable facts, with definitive causes.
You have heard of MRSA haven’t you? This is methylcillian resistant staff aureus… just one of the many creations our over use of antibiotics and disinfectants and sanitizers have created. …….

Interesting article here: http://www.alternet.org/health.....age=entire . And perhaps something that people just aren’t aware of: no matter how well you think you’re doing the job, when you pee you get urine on your hands; when you flush, the flushed materials get aerosolized and flung around the room. Washing your hands after using the bathroom is just part of being a member of a civilized society. And I think our society, at least here in the USA, is becoming, in many important ways, less and less civilized.
First I must say that Urine in most cases unless the person creating it has a bladder infection or kidney infection of some sort is nearly sterile and only slightly toxic. No way could that whats on the hands create a toxic result in a normal person.
Yeah the stuff from the flush gets aerosolized, and if your a male and stand up to pee the splashback gets all over your shoe and pants, yeah yuck I know! Have you never flushed while still sitting on the water closet? wow feel the rush, have you never had a droplet from the stool pop out and nail you in the face? Have you? have you not or have you just not noticed.
Yeah society is becoming less and less civilized as time passes just look at how people drive to justify this!

My pecker is the cleanest part of my body. After I shower, it goes into clean underware. I wash my hands BEFORE I use the toilet this way my pecker stays clean all the time. You all have it backwares.
Phil on February 11th, 2008 at 11:30 am | Link
wow there are some seriously disturbed people out there when you pee it splashes on your pants (men) or your butt (ladies) which will spread around unless you NEVER touch your pants/shirt/whatever. But really, is it that big of a deal? Do you put on rubber gloves to untie your shoes? Or do you wear a hazmat suit all day as you urinate into your pre-sterilized catheter? YOU HAVE PEE ON YOU RIGHT NOW!!! Just let it go
Kent on March 28th, 2008 at 10:39 am | Link
I have to agree with Kent. I mean about that big of a deal thing.

Ok Mr. Squeaky now you want to question me and bring it out in other threads then bring your facts to the table as I requested you to do above!!! See the problem with you liberals is that you mudsling and then run away feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. If you want to call me out don’t run away like the coward you are.

People should wash their hands after the going to the restroom it is very important to try to keep a clean place as much as we can espeacially when it comes to work places but of course you don’t have to be a nut about it all cause no matter what there is going to be germs no matter where you go or what you touch it’s unavoidable but you should be at least curtious and wash your hands in public restrooms
