Do you have those automatic doors on the bathroom at your work? I do. I guess it makes them wheelchair accessable and all that. Some people perfer to hit the button with their hip so they don't actually have to touch the door.
Okay, I'm cool with that. You don't want to touch the "dirty" door handle. I'm cool with that, I can relate.
What I don't get is that a lot of time the people who use the button are the same who don't wash their hands. YUCK! So, you're a dirty SOB and don't want to get germs from other dirty SOB's? Gross. I really wish that there was some kind of electric shock for not washing your hands when leaving the bathroom...

When I go to the bathroom in an office, I open the door with the towel I used to dry my hands and throw the towel is a wastebasket outside ... that way I don't have to touch the door handle with my bare (clean) hands...
ReplyDeleteI think I talked about this 10^6 times. Just nasty.
ReplyDeleteI'm not paranoid and all that, I'm not afraid to touch stuff. Although washrooms are pretty disgusting sometimes. The rideau centre is the worst. Even though there are no doors, and every thing is motion activated, and somebody comes by ever hour to clean (it says so on the timesheet on the wall), the bathrooms always smell like death.
ReplyDeleteHere's another way of looking at it. I once read a comment once that someone washes their hands before they use the washroom, since their hands are out in the open and more likely to be dirty than other parts of the body which are covered by clothes all day. And unless you actually urinate on your hands, then how are they getting dirty, by touching a part of your body that's covered by clothes all day. Do you wash you hands every time you touch your hair, face, or other hand, or the hand of another person, because they probably contain much more germs than the parts that are covered by clothes all day.
