News, Men do you wash your hands after using the bathroom?

[D. Scott]

Every time. I wash my hands frequently as it is as I work with the public and shake hands, handle documents, money etc. I think this has helped me avoid the flu over the years even.

I've noticed more men washing their hands lately. Also something totally new to the men's room - some men are becoming germaphobes. They are using the paper towels to open the bathroom door when leaving!

There are still many who do not wash their hands. They will go and press an elevator button, press the drinking fountain button, or use their hands to open the main door to the building! (Oh my! )

I don't get TV (prefer to read books), but there must be some germ fear mongering / brain washing of people on TV or something? Perhaps advertisements by manufacturers of hand sanitizers? And if they are advertising ($$), then fear mongering "news" stories would be happily be provided by the networks as well...

I've done this for a long time. Most restrooms now put a trash can near the door, I assume for this purpose.

I wash my hands after using the restroom and wash my private area in the sink after using public restrooms just incase anything splashed up onto it out of the urinal.

Every time I do. With soap. I don't know why anybody wouldn't.

I wash them all the time. I hardly see any man not washing his hands these days in public toilets.
