I even use the ball washer in the hallway. The cups could be bigger though, and I have no idea why it has a cold tap, who the hell wants to wash their balls with cold water?

Heh, easier to wash when there small.
 
It's not always the fault of the pisser... My building has the WORST urinals in the world-- they're made by American Standard, and they absolutely SUCK (so badly that I will never buy an American Standard product as long as I live). No matter where you aim your stream, it bounces out back at you. Even if you try to hit the water, it bounces off the water and right onto the floor.

I used a urinal once while wearing shorts and was appalled at the splashback I could feel on my legs. I never use a urinal now if it can be avoided.
 
Has no one here ever worked construction? If you work construction most of the time you don't have the option of washing your hands. I've watched guys go sit in a port-a-pottie for 10 minutes then come out grab their dinner bucket sit down on a stack of lumber and eat their sandwich.

I don't work construction anymore but when I did I never got sick. Now I catch anything that happens to be floating around.

Quit eating out of the toilet and I bet you start getting better.
 
I have a strict diet of corn,peanuts,chocolate pudding and lemonade.
 
Warning for gross factor -

Similar to the post of the l"lady" dropping a duece on the floor, but when I was in HS I worked at a fast food restaurant. The worst was we closed after the bars so we'd always get a rush at about 2 in the morning of people who were just wasted. One night my closing guy refused to clean the bathroom, so I go in there only to see some sadistic bast**d had written AIDS in blood all over the walls and floor. That was an exciting night, I was triple gloved and masked cleaning that mess up. I even made my employer pay for a test a few weeks later. Through the grapevine we found out who it was and made sure everytime he came through the restaurant we gave him a little something special in his sandwich.
 
I wash my hands after I pee(and also before), but to be honest I don't think its necessary for me.

Two reasons:

I am not peeing in my hands.
I shower two times a day(in the morning and before bed) so I am very clean.

I bet its much worse to open a door knob and then shake hands than not washing your hands after peeing and then shaking hands.

Damn, I see that someone beat me to this...

Anyhow, I see that most of you are rather anal about your cleanliness. I for one am all about building my immune system. I was my hands if I go #2, but wouldn't die if I didn't.
 
Some other odd things I've run across more than once in public restrooms:

-People who continue their cell phone conversations as they're doing their business in the stall.

-People who apperently must groan and grunt in order to achieve a movement.

-People who whisper indistictly to themselves while in the can.
 
I don't know about phone calls, but I know that without FaceBook, my poops would be boring.

Just kidding (or am I?)

I was thinking the same thing, except instead of Facebook, HBT.
I am very OCD about washing my hands, especially in the restroom. And heaven forbid something of mine falls behind the toilet, I just call it a loss. I probably go overboard with cleaning my hands, like using hand sanitizer as soon as I leave the grocery store, after pumping gas, before eating if I'm in a restaurant, but I can't help what my mind is telling me to do. I do the same routine in public restrooms every time: turn sink on, wash hands, dispense paper towel-if manually, with something other than my hand if possible, use towel to turn sink off and open door.

That's what I was tryin to say about the porta potty.
 
We've got a few people in my office that like to brush their teeth throughout the day and leave their toothbrushes out next to the sinks throughout the day. That's truly disgusting to me; I usually wash my hands after a #2, but not always for a #1.

Before people complain about how that's unhealthy or unsanitary, I offer my own suggestion for increasing health in the office. From September to June (when school is generally in session) people who have children who attend school or day care are segregated to one side of the office while those of us without children are put on the other side. I never used to get sick at my old office where only one person there had children, but since moving to my larger company I've really gotten sick - including a nasty respiratory infection last year that gave me a 104 degree fever and lingered for weeks even with antibiotics.
 
Saw a guy come out of the crapper and leave without washing his hands. I walked past his desk on the way back to my cubicle 30 seconds later and he was eating a sandwich.

Witnessed another guy exiting the crapper, turning on the water in the sink, then proceeding to scoop water with his hands and drink.

:eek:
 
You people are sick watching other people in the bathroom enough to make lists about their habits.

This is why I don't like using cubicles in the US. Always big glaring gaps in the doors and a bunch of weirdos on the other side!! What is it with those gaps? It's like, we'll give some some privacy, just not quite enough.

What Aids? Guy should have been kicked in the b@lls

Yet, this guy is probably just fine. No cold, cancer, or aids. It may be gross, but it isn't particularly bad for you. An argument can even be made that it's healthy. just sayin...

Healthy? For whom? While I've heard and understand the arguments that say most people have a high tolerance for their own germs, others do not. So while wiping your butt and then eating a sandwich may not get you sick, what you touch after that may be getting others sick.

Unless you live a solitary life in the woods, this is how disease is spread.
Not washing your hands after taking a dump is not only nasty, but it's irresponsible. For the love of god...wash your hands!
 
I've heard that chestnut about "I was taught not to pee on my hands" a few times too many. Here's the bottom line on that - your dick isn't clean enough that I want to touch you after you've held it. Ever heard this one: "No matter how you dance and prance, the last few drops go down your pants."

Drink your beer strained through your underwear after you've worn it for a day, and I'll let you slide on washing your hands. But I still won't touch you.
 
People who are a little more accurate claiming OCD carry wipes and clean their hands after touching that nasty door handle. My d!ck is like the Taj Mahal compared to those fixtures.
 
I feel the same way every time I'm standing outside the stall.

I have one very clean hand. When I use a public restroom I first put plenty of liquid soap on my right hand before going into a stall and washing my hand vigorously against my penis as I look through the crack in the door at the guys at the urinals.

You just can't get any cleaner than that!
