How hard is it to flush a turd, or a urinal full of p!ss? I often say at my job " How can we expect submarine crews to safely operate in hostile environments, when we can't even get them to flush a toilet?" Better yet, don't you hate watching the person who uses the facilities then walks out the door without washing their hands?
Man, the not washing thing freaks me out. I once saw the athletic director of a major school -- big time, major school -- walk out of the bathroom without washing his hands. I couldn't shake his hand after that.

Just as well. I didn't like him anyway.;)

That's no joke!!! I once had a boss who did this right before the company BBQ and he was serving. I got in a different line!!!

I don't know who trained your sub crew, but can assure you every one of the crews, nay boats my father was on flushed and didn't spray the toilet. And they always washed their hands (he had some paranoid Cobs let me tell you).

My favorite memory of Spring Break was the day trip to Morocco where the stuck up brats with me had to not only use the hole in the ground at the ferry terminal but tip the attendant for the pleasure of TP. :mug:
 
I have to admit that I don't wash my hands after I piss. My piece is probably cleaner than any surface I'm going to come into contact with at any point in a day.
If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown send it down.
 
I used to work at a place that was fairly formal and had a lot of educated people. Keep in mind I said educated and not "intelligent." It was just about guaranteed that every day someone would leave a toilet full of paper and crap. At least once a week they clogged one up also. That's in addition to the inability to hit the urinals by some. I can't help but wonder if they piss on the floor at home, too. My bet is that they don't.

I was in Target yesterday and one of the employees came into the restroom, whizzed, and promptly left, omitting the "hand washing" part. Bleh.

Here's a flash game on the topic of etiquette:

There is a technical term for that in the tech industry. "**** mittens"

Was coined after a co-worker was happily camped out in the handi stall, the CEO walks in, talking on his blackberry, sits down, commences calling in the dinosaurs, walks out, never flushes, never washes... **** mittens.
 
They don't want to flush because they don't want the people on the phone to know they are going potty.

I always at least rinse my hands if at all possible. Not for the germs, but because I like clean hands. I mean, I'm not OCD about it or anything, but why the heck NOT wash?
