It Doesn't Matter if You're Just Going #1

This is an urgent posting. The situation has reached a fever pitch, and we must all band together to take a stand.

I cannot stand silently by any longer while our society crumbles. Of course, I am referring to men who don't wash their hands after using the urinal.

Is there some teflon coating that they have used on their hands that makes them impervious to germs? Are their bodies scrubbed so shiny and new that no bacteria exist? Of course not!

Just because you don't sit down doesn't mean that you don't get dirty. You're still reaching in and digging around down there and I, for one, don't want to be the first one to shake your hand after that.

Please, even if you know you are spotless and that the handles on the sink are dirtier than you are, just humor me on this one. When I'm not around, you can lick the bathroom walls for all I care, but when I'm in there with you, just suck it up and wash 'em.

Men, though, are convinced that they are the only ones who have the superhuman ability to repel germs. I have even had guys say to me, in all seriousness, that they will take their chances, because 'at least I know where my body parts have been.'

This may be true, but the rest of us don't know where you've been. And you have already proven that your standards of hygiene may leave something to be desired so forgive me for not trusting that you use hand sanitizer at your desk every 20 minutes.

Women, be forewarned, and men, be reminded: many men don't wash their hands if they're in the bathroom less than two minutes.

Well I'll start of by saying that I always wash my hands, but I have to say I tend to think those men may have something. I wash very well in the morning, then I put on my underwear. So when I use the restroom and put my hands in there, where have these mysterious germs come from? My underwear is clean. My body was clean. How did they magically appear. I may grant these men that they probably don't get dirty from touching themselves. But if they flush the urinal then thats a whole other story ;-)
