    My favorite is when they quickly splash some water on their hands and walk out like deep down they don’t believe they’re lying to themselves

      Dental Denial: just using mouthwash without brushing or flossing. Must be a handwashing equivalent.

    Okay, as someone who isn’t a germaphobe or anything like it, I’m a firm believer that’s it’s absolutely disgusting, regardless of who does it, to not wash your hands after going to the bathroom in general.

        I believe it’s pretty ingrained in Muslim and Jewish culture to wash the hands frequently.

      Used to work in a courthouse where jurors would be kept waiting and had access to the public restrooms.

      The sheer volume of people that would drop a duece and waltz out without washing (and possibly without even wiping) was staggering. I thought the ordeal of covid might improve handwashing.

      Nope. Though I figure the type that didn’t wash after the toilet before covid would simply continue to not wash their damn hands.

      It says half of the Dutch don’t wash their hands with soap and water, but I wanna know how many of the Dutch don’t wash their hands. Those are two different statistics.

    Do you post these manually? I could write you a python script to run daily that will do it automatically if you want.

    I have this false, Berenstein style memory of Along Came Polly or another late 90s comedy having a trailer with this joke in video form. If this happened please let me know I’m not crazy.

      I believe this works for playing in dirt but is nonsensical for bathroom germs (IIRC)

        Why wouldn’t it work? Me and a lot of people have tried it long term and we’re absolutely fine.

          Bacteria from the poopoo can make you really sick.

          Definitely accept your anecdote but we know in the aggregate, handwashing works.

          Handwashing education in the community:

          • Reduces the number of people who get sick with diarrhea by 23-40%
          • Reduces diarrheal illness in people with weakened immune systems by 58%
          • Reduces respiratory illnesses, like colds, in the general population by 16-21%
          • Reduces absenteeism due to gastrointestinal illness in schoolchildren by 29-57%

          More good info from the CDC!
