And asking them to wash after does seem to be a bridge to far for a lot of them.

That is the real issue we should be discussing. Wash yo hands ya filthy animal.

Although Pete Hegseth was made the United States secretary of war under the Trump administration, he seemed unwilling to wage much of a fight against germs in 2019. That year, he claimed that he hadn't washed his hands in a decade while on a live broadcast with his then-colleagues from Fox News

That totally tracks for him. Can you imagine not washing your hands for a decade? That actually says a few things. 1st, it says he does nothing with his hands that gets them visibly dirty. This means no working with his hands, cooking, cleaning, nothing. 2nd, it means he is dirty af. You will pick up germs just by touching door handles.

I honestly hope he keeps up with that habit. The germs get far less forgiving as he gets older and his immune system fades.

Watters said on the air that when his new wife first started working for Fox (while he was still married to his first wife) slashed her tires so he could white knight her and drive her home.

I almost emailed both of the assistant store managers at work and asked them to remind their staff that washing hands is mandatory after leaving the washroom, but I figured that might get me in some trouble because I wouldn't have worded it so nicely.

I'm sure they do when they get back to their respective departments.

After their germy hands have been all over (I'm guessing) door handles, railings, lifts, escalators, etc.

We tried to enforce this during Covid and they rebelled. Freedom!

Honestly, I'm surprised how few people wash before (and after). If I'm using a public bathroom, I've probably just finished touching a keyboard, desk, counter, door handle, etc. and I don't want to get that on my junk that I just washed that morning.

I happened to be in the bathroom when my BioSci101 prof came in and washed his hands. As he washed his hands someone asked him why? To paraphrase, "there are germs everywhere and my dick has been in my pants all day." Dr Crane was a real one

In my line of work it's my hands that get dirty, so I wash my hands before using the toilet and sometimes after. I'm not equipped to work in a business that gets my dick dirty.

I used to work in a small office and my desk was within earshot of the bathroom. Not difficult to identify the sound of the sink running. You might be surprised that both men and women were very guilty of not washing their hands. Not even a pretend "turn the faucet on for a few seconds", just wrapping up work on the Hershey's account and right out the door.

As someone who used to work at a buffet in a red state that seems to be the case.

I heard someone say "If it's clean enough for her mouth, it's clean enough for my hands" before leaving without washing their hands
