It's a habit you need to learn from the time you're very young.

just pull down free willie, go, and then pull up, walk out the door.. lol.

yes I wash my hands.. kills more time when you are at work.. plus talk to everything that walks in.

usually wash once in the bathroom and again when all is done.

just thinking about all the germs you touch, say the door, desks, chairs, etc etc.

No,I usually look around and find some one to shake hand.
Yes,then I wash my hands.

Yes, I always do, but then, I tend to be a germ freak - not OCD, but as soon as I come home from being out anywhere, the first thing I do is wash my hands. So yes, yes, a thorough hand washing is a must after using the washroom, right down to not touching anything in the washroom, such as door handle, afterwards.

I think a more appropriate question would be to ask if one washes their hands properly. Splashing your hands with water for a couple of seconds doesn't count. You need to scrub your hands with soap for a good 25-30 seconds. Of course all that work goes to waste when you end up touching the door to leave the washroom (especially at work where you see people leaving the stalls and heading straight out the door ).

I worked in a hospital before so I'm a wash freak. I don't do the 20 seconds (waste of water really). Just warm water, soap, scrub the fingernails a little, pull down the paper towel to dry my fingers and then turn off the tap using the towel. I also use the towel to open the door.
If there's no towel, I linger about 5 seconds for someone to open the door or use clothing to open the door. I KNOW lots of guy co-workers who don't wash their hands after doing a #2. Absolutely disgusting.

Remember Poppie being a bit sloppy on senifeld?

I just love the no touch washrooms with no door handles to touch or buttons on the dryers or taps to open like the one in Eatons centre by old navy.
They are becoming popular in all the malls that are renovating now. I know bramalea city centre has 2 such washrooms already as they continue to change from the old technology to the new.

This is much easier to do than try to change the habits of non handwashers who have gotten accustomed to not doing it for year.
More sanitary in that the non handwashers don't need to touch anything that the handwashers may have to which is great.

The no touch dryers encourages people who wash their hands to use the dryer instead of paper towels which they may otherwise have to use to open doors and turn off the taps etc so it's good for the environment too in that it saves trees.

There are even no touch paper towel dispensers too which is cool. The only time is use towels in no touch bathrooms are when they have these as i just like not only the concept but how it works.

In the true spirit of RFD, I never do to save $0.001 on water
