How ‘bout if I rolled around in feces like two days ago but am wearing the same pants?

I totally shamed a college student into washing her hands at the university where I work by accidentally making an “ew disgusting!” face at her in the mirror as she tried to slip away. Sorry, not sorry! Everything I feel passes over my face!

While most people may not “wash their hands properly” they probably don’t dip their hands in a vat of bacteriophage before using the air dryers either. So I wonder if the germ flinging problem is any worse than say... what’s being flung into the atmosphere per flush?

There is still a factory process involved in making the recycled paper towels. I am only one person, sure, but if 200 people use a bathroom in a day and each use two paper towels, every day, that is a lot. Combine that in all bathrooms...sure, it does make a difference.

“Also, as an adult, I generally manage not to shit on my hands.”

It depends on what’s already on your pants... so, if they’re clean pants, you’re probably good. If you just rolled around in feces...bad.

Oh grow up, who even washes their hands after going to the bathroom anymore? So juvenile.

Well, I like trees and I like less trash, so I will continue to be a dryer person and celebrate that occasional contact with germs has given me a healthy immune system.
