I’m not sure what your point is then.
People should be doing both these things.

Just that there’s an element of disproportionate outrage at it

A thorough scrub with cold water and soap should be fine.

If it’s genuinely prevents loads of diseases then fair enough, I know sanitation is a big and important thing but I feel like it’s more an issue of not having waste and sewage lying around, I imagine for the vast majority of history people haven’t washed their hands after a wee

I really, really hate having hands that aren’t completely bone dry.

Can @moderators move all the washing chat from covid-19 thread in to here please?

Mum had a catheter for a while and had to empty her pee bag, after that you realise urine isn’t really all that bad. I’m sure most parents have mopped up pee too

Ideal world (and a very selfish one) is a combination of both paper towels and hand-dryers.

Urine may not be that bad but I don’t want to touch your hands if you’ve not been washing them after using the toilet.

This is so basic.

Yeah but I’m saying it’s partly irrational, people touch more disgusting stuff all the time because we’ve been taught not to make a big deal of it, ever touched the pavement?

I bloody love an Airblade if I’m honest Kermo on accounts of how I’m a #BasicBitch but also, every now and then you’ll see some one that’s black with a blue light underneath a very powerful nozzle (they have them in Shake Shack Canary Wharf if you’re interested in making a trip) and they are the most super ones.

I don’t think it’s irrational at all to think people not washing their hands after using the toilet are being gross and inconsiderate.

Fun watching the skin around your fingers flap about a bit under an air blade isn’t it

Genuine question, do nurses/doctors hands not get destroyed after a while? I know when i go hard on hand-washing/sanitiser my skins starts flaking and even splitting (extremely painful) in warmer weather.
