    Is there an unspoken rule that if there is someone else in the bathroom at your workplace, you must double the amount of time spent washing your hands than normal?

    I caught myself doing this today. I normall give my hands a once or twice over, same as I do at home and wipe with paper towel, and it's all good. However, my co-worker was using the othe urinal before me and after he was done, the guy scrubbed the entire time I was doing my business, then he put some soap on and scrubbed some more. No lie, I felt intimidated and found myself actually using the soap (which really smells nasty on your hands), and giving my hands a scrub for a good 15 seconds where I would normally take 3 or 4 MAX.

    washing your hands for 15 seconds should not be out of the ordinary.

    neither should the use of soap.

    I think everyone goes excessive on it when another person is in there just to show "Hey I wash my hands clean, etc etc" That way if you run into them later and have to give them a hand shake you won't be worried lol

    There is only 1 rule Men must follow in the toilet, If you are at the urinal do not try and start a conversation with some random guy who is standing next to you. It drives me up the bloody wall.

    I usually wash my hands for about 30 seconds. I always give them a lenghty lathering beforehand, too. Working in food prep. has helped my etiquette more than I thought it would.

    Does anybody know why pee does that little twisty corkscrew thing when it comes out? There must be some kind of physics law that explains this...

    Also, how long does it normally take everybody to take a dump? A couple times, I've walked in the bathroom with somebody in the stall reading the paper, and I do my business, wash my hands, and leave, and they're STILL sitting there. I'm thinking these people hate their job so much that they have to take a 20 minute dump to get away from it

    hotballa I work with a guy that doesn’t wash his hand EVER when is done using the bathroom :eek: Be lucky that people you work with are trying to be overly clean instead of being like Alec Baldwin from Along Came Polly :(

    The only time I wash my hands is when I get **** on them,... Which only happens about 2, 3, 5 times a week.

    Also, everytime someone farts or takes a big one they have to make a 'whew!' or 'man ahhh' really loud.. I was sitting in the next stall from someone and he had real bad gas and it was literally: *fart* whew! *faaartt* ohh man *fart fart* arghhh!! *airy one* ahhh...


    I have the bad habit of shaking my hands after rinsing my hands off, which splashes water in the worse spot on my khakis.. I had a huge wet spot which i had to sit around and wait a while for it to dry then swiftly walk through the hall way to my desk and hope no one wants me to walk up to their cube and chat lol

    i'm gonna tell you guys a very disgusting story regarding this particular advice.

    i don't remember what facility it was in but they had the sort of oval shaped urinals if you guys know what i mean. they looked like these except they were on the same level and no separation board.

    [​IMG]

    anyhow, i'm doing my thing and about half way done. then, some dude uses the one right next to me. well, apparently, the douche had to go so bad that he started shooting out like a firehose. and while his stream is hitting the urinal, droplets of it would bounce out and i could feel them hitting my hand. i couldn't ****ing take it and stopped midstream myself so i could get out of there. i would have said something if it was just the two us. unfortunately, i didn't want to embarrass myself in front of the others behind us. i quickly went to the sink and washed my hands religiously.
