WRINGING OF THE HANDS

OK, I’m going here...you may want to unfriend me or at least refrain from shaking my hand when I land. I do NOT wash my hands after using an airport bathroom after doing # 1.

There, I said it.

I have reasoning. Note too that this is pretty male-centric and about *me* and my why...

~ Most/all airport bathrooms are open entrance so there’s no door to touch

~ I don’t touch anything but me. How nasty *I* might be is debatable but I guarantee no more or less nasty than my hand was when you shook it (my hand, that is) dropping me off at the gate.

~ I walk in. I pull my shorts pant leg to the side or just unzip and go. Urinal flushes automatically. Done. I walk out.

~ You, I, and no one I know has ever washed their hands to full lather singing “Happy Birthday“ 3 times, and you know it.

~ Drying - no one dries their hands enough - you know your hands are still damp. And damp things pick up more molecules of things than dry things. Speaking of which, them blow dryers have been proven to spread germs even more than waste paper towel.

~ Paper towel dispensers, soap dispensers, even in some “touch nearly nothing” environments, require a push or tug to get materials needed.

~ All this is done or not done in a fecally-contaminated, nastily-urine-acious(c), potentially infectious environment

~ Apologies to folks who must touch door, stall, toilet seats, door stall lock, sit, garner paper to wipe, to do what they do. Full lather “Happy Birthday” washing and dust bowl drying applies here. Sorry Mildred & Patty J. Hill that your song gets such a workout...

~ I admit the bathroom is a great *opportunity* to wash hands for whomever may wherever have been. I’ll wait till I get outside of it to a no-touch hand sanitizer thingy and get some and rub briskly.

Well THIS crazy line of thought oughta clear my friends list...that and eating your pets. But that’s another story...
