I just made an awful discovery about a co-worker

[CreekDog]

he doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom. :wtf:

:rant:

[Deja Q]

1. You don't work in a restaurant, by any chance?

[madinmaryland]

2. Maybe this was the reason...

3. Ha!

What about the coworker who doesn't wash their hands after leaving the lab...And our lab used to handle stuff like vaginal swabs, along with urine and human serum....

[SacredCow]

4. I'll take a petroleum and/or toxic waste lab over bodily fluids ANY day....

Fortunatly, I now only work with water, various water treatment chemicals, and miscellaneous benign solids.

[CreekDog]

5. i'm a bit of anal about these things so i find that horrifying

i even make mental notes of whom i won't shake hands with because you know :eyes:

i'm kind of anal retentive about hand washing and cleanliness. add to that the training i went through working in a hospital during college (universal precautions)...well when i touch certain surfaces, knowing what i know, i'm off to the bathroom to wash my hands. :D

6. Do you wash your hands after sex??

:shrug:

[CreekDog]

i'm not stupid

:rofl:

[ThomCat]

18. Ewww....

How hard is it to wash yer friggin hands? Now I'm gonna itch just thinking about it, and I'm going to wash my hands twice out of reflex just trying to feel clean.

:(

[foxglove1]

21. anal

i knew a guy that would whate inthe bathroom at work ontil a person came in so he would not have to touch the door handle

[Parche]

7. thats a Pisser

:woohoo::hi:

[CreekDog]

8. uhhh

:spank:

:rofl:

[MajorChode]

9. I wash my hands before I use the bathroom

Each morning I take a shower and wrap Happy in 2 layers of cloth. So when it comes time 2 P, Happy is theoretically far cleaner than my hands. Therefore washing afterward would be rather like closing the barn door after the horse got out (pun intended).

[CreekDog]

12. I'm glad to know your hands are clean

but i can't say i feel better after reading your entire message. :hide:

[MajorChode]

14. Cold inconvienient logic has that effect on people

Eventually you'll learn to accept it (most likely).

[CreekDog]

16. I'm working on accepting it

well, not really. :shrug:

:rofl:

[krispos42]

17. Splatter.

Eom.

[MajorChode]

19. Aim

Except in cases of kidney or urinary tract infection (UTI), urine is virtually sterile and nearly odorless.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine#Composition

It's probably more pure than the water in many areas. And besides, I have industrial strength kidneys buffered by large amounts of ethyl alcohol. I can drink from a stagnant pond and piss glacier water.

[krispos42]

22. I'll, um, take your word for it.

:rofl:

[TZ]

24. Yeah urine is sterile...

but the anatomy its passing through...Not so much. Ever see the results of a urine test? Bacterial contamination...very common...

[XemaSab]

10. Ewww!

[spindrifter]

11. Discourage potlucks at your work place.

[graywarrior]

13. LOL! I remember years ago, DJ Charles Laquidara on WBCN in Boston went on a rampage

on the air about someone he worked with who did not wash his hands after using the restroom. God, it went on for a month.

[crim son]

15. Isn't there a survey out there reporting that a great majority

of men don't? Of course, maybe people are more pristine now that GWB is out of office. :P

[TrogL]

20. There's no point

Most of the germs are on the bathroom door handle from people coming in.

[snooper2]

23. probably more important to wash before than after...

you want to mess with your junk with dirty hands :rofl:
