Hand washing

Yes, always! And to the ones at work who don't, come on, we can see through the cracks of the doors in the stalls. We know who you are.

W/all these cats, are ya kiddin' me? I probably wash my hands more than a surgeon does, not just after bathroom visits but several times throughout the day. I'm a bit of a clean freak anyhow.

Sure - I do for sure. But what has been brought to light lately - is shopping carts - and the thought of what's on them is enough to gross me out. Some grocery stores have the cart wash now, and others offer wipes, but the majority don't. Just think of what is on the push handles alone of these carts - not to mention the rest of the cart! YUK!!!

I certainly do, and when I come back from shopping, it's the first thing I do. Also, if someone is sitting behind me on a bus, sneezing or coughing, I move!

My grocery store offers wipes and I always care hand sanitizer w/me. It's the inside of the cart that bothers me. I see too many kids riding in the cart itself where we put the food that we're buying. Their dirty hands and shoes are all over that cart not to mention babies w/dirty diapers.

My point exactly! It's really pretty disgusting, and Lord only knows what we're bringing into our homes because of this! I really think cart wash should be mandatory in all stores where food can be purchased - and that includes places like Walmart!

I can't imagine not washing my hands every time. I wash my hands so much, my hands stay dry. I go through a ton of hand washing soap. In both bathrooms and the kitchen. When I see someone leave a public restroom without washing, I get so upset, I have to control myself and not run after the person.

Not washing is being lazy and careless and it makes no sense to me!!

Definitely wash my hands on a regular basis. I have OCD with this type of thing, I don't understand why you wouldn't wash your hands it's so gross. It takes all of a minute, I prefer hand sanitizer though, because I don't have to touch the sinks.

You know what I really hate?? Those hand blow dryers, just use paper towels.

I can eat after touching a dog without washing my hands prior.. but I CANNOT leave the bathroom with my hands washed...

I ALWAYS wash my hands after potty breaks.... my hands sure do need lotsa cream by now after all that washing..
