One of my pet peeves is people that don't wash their hands after using the toilet.
I notice this whenever I use a public toilet and guys walk out without of the bathroom without even a simple rinse.
When I was holidaying in parts of Asia, this seemed to be a regular occurrence.
This past Monday I went to see a movie at the local cinema. After the movie was over, I used the restroom. I also noticed many guys just walk out after using the urinal and not washing their hands. So it's not a 'cultural' thing since I witnessed this nastiness on both sides of the planet.
Lol. We have a secret blog at work that names the people who don't wash their hands after using the urinal or toilet. It's disgusting. In fact, I also use a paper towel to open the door as I am leaving the restroom. I don't want poop or dried urine on my hands after I just washed my hands.
Original poster: Some people don't care about their own hygiene, some are unable to keep themselves clean because of disabilities and no one to help them, some were never really taught how to keep themselves clean and others have some sort of reason or another. It is a personal choice and has to be taught however, even some who are taught just don't do it.
It really isn't that unhygenic not to was your hands after urinating. Urine isn't that contaminated by bacteria. Infact, you will encounter far more germs if you touch anything in the bathroom during the handwashing process, if you aren't meticulous, then if you didn't wash them at all.

My friend and I went through a whole crisis about this. Aren't the faucet handles dirty? I mean hands are dirty when placed there. They don't get sanitized between dirty hands touching and clean hands turning them off!
We were in there using paper towels to turn the faucets on and off and freaking out. We must have seen one of those 20/20's with a black light or something......
but yeah I want no part of the handle walking out. Especially in a restaurant!

Lol. Speaking of black lights, try one in a hotel room. The tv remote is the most disgusting thing. The lamps are second.
It's my reasoning, the more exposed to germs the tougher your immune system becomes.
How one earth did I survive any number of trips to 3rd world foreign countries and didn't get sick once???? On a bus trip from Kathmandu to Pokhara, we stopped midway for lunch. Saw everyone eating their food with their fingers, and as I sat down to eat, I asked for a fork or spoon. And? No utensils!!! And the area to wash your hands? Yikes! And, I survived that one!
And you put one of these super-careful germ freaks over there for one day, and they may end up hospitalized after the first day!
I currently work in a Long-Term Care facility, I'm 66, and it shocks the younger workers when I tell them that up until the mid-80's we didn't use gloves back then to change diapers! And their reactions?
"Don't tell me you got poo on your hands!!" Oh, Pleeeeeeeez!!!
