Over the past few months I've been trying to drink more water, particularly during work. Over the course of my 8-4pm I usually drink between one and two litres of water. But since I've been doing that, I'm also going to the bathroom every 30 minutes and as a result I've had some time to nice some disturbing behaviours and I may have come up with the dirtiest thing on any given body.
First of all, the number of people who don't wash, or fake wash their hands is troubling. You'd think grown men would wash their hands but a good number simply flush, tuck their shirt in and back to work. "Hi Betty, here is my report for you along with some poo particles. You going for lunch in a few minutes?"
A significantly higher number of men do the fake-wash or the bacteria bath. This is when you turn the tap on, rinse your hands for three seconds and consider your hands cleaned. When all that was really accomplished was that you just gave the germs on your hands either a drink or a bath, but either way, they're still there and they're refreshed.
Even if you're from the school of thought that, "Well I don't piss on my hands," it's still a good idea to wash your hands at least a few times a day and since you're in the washroom, you might as well do it then.
One time after relieving myself I came to the conclusion that the dirtiest, most bacteria infested things are not door knobs, toilets, telephones or keyboards, but belt buckles. Whether you wash, fake-wash or don't wash at all, what is the one thing we all do before we are SUPPOSED to wash? We tuck our shirts in and do our pants up, including the belt. (So technically, the pant button and fly are in the same category).
Time and time again, we handle the belt buckle between pissing or dropping a deuce and washing our hands. You can make the valid argument that our pants get washed so the fly and button are not so bad, but I can't say I've ever washed a belt (on purpose) and I wear one of two belts every day, so the germs must be just stacking up. Knowing that brings a whole new level of fear when I think about the times I got the belt for being a retard.
"Oh no! Dad, I'm sorry! Not the belt please! Do you know what's on that thing??!!"
I suppose the proper thing to do would be to do the penguin waddle over to the sink, wash your hands and then do your pants up, but if we can't get 75% of the population to wash their hands with soap, I can't really see that happening.
Speaking of which, it's about 6:30pm. Regularity is great.

personally, i am known for walking out from friends' bathrooms (or my own with guests present) with my pants unfastened looking for something to dry my hands on.
the distraction to my unbuttoned pants is minimal. usually covered by a long shirt . . . unless some asshole can't find a towel and i dry my hands on my shirt, therefore lifting it up and exposing my un-buttonedness . . . LOL
BTW . . . did mouse killer tell you she chatted at me and then realized i wasn't who she thought she was talking to. i called her a mouse killer . . . LOL
i did the same thing as her on the phone about a week later . . . started talking to someone and all of a sudden, it didn't add up when he said something about school and my test. and i quit talking.
brian said, you thought i was someone else, huh?
um, yes. obviously.
I remember once watching a movie with a guy friend, and he had to go to the bathroom and came back super quick, no way he washed his hands. And he went to reach for my popcorn, and I was like "hey, did you wash your hands", his response was "do you wash your hands after touching your arm?" ... my arm is not sitting in a dark, enclosed damp space for most of the day. gross gross gross.
i was always taught to never piss on my hands.
Why don't you write more *emo tear*.
i had a similiar epiphany a few months ago with my leather purse. i was always placing it on the floor, in the grocery cart, anywhere. then i would get home and drop it on my kitchen table or counter. ewwww! got a new purse. never set it down. it is always hung up. p.s. glad i don't wear a belt.
