Nathan Exposed » Mr. Manners: Bathroom Edition Revisited

I used to write a lot of posts about the bathroom. I called those my “Golden Years”. Heh.

A recent post on Puntabulous reminded me how passionate my opinions were. It read:

I hate when I’m in the bathroom at work. Sitting in the stall. Doing that thing you do when sitting in a bathroom stall. And you hear someone else come in, use the urinal, and then head straight for the door without washing their hands. And there I am. Sitting in the stall. Still doing that thing you do when sitting in a bathroom stall. Wishing I knew who didn’t wash their hands in order to avoid shaking them in the future.

AMEN BROTHER! AMEN!

I will never understand why so many people do not wash their hands after using the restroom. There is a sink strategically placed right by the door. What goes through their mind when they pass that sink? Are they cavemen who don’t understand water comes out of the faucet?

I once had a straight friend who never washed his hands. Judging by his smell, I don’t think he washed much of anything. Anytime it started to rain, I had to push him outside so he’d get cleaned off.

Back to the point… washing your hands should always be mandatory after any trip to the restroom. I realize you probably won’t die if you don’t, but I think it comes down to us being evolved as a species. Adults who live in modern society should understand that basic things like washing your hands are expected.

That’s my rant on bathrooms for today. You may now go back to surfing YouTube.

the human body is (often) cleaner than most public surfaces we touch without a second thought.

If they pee on their hand, sure, and definitely if they poo, but otherwise, a daily-showered body is clean enough for me.

Especially considering some of the places we put our mouths…

Uh-huh, I see.

Funny what lengths people will go through to justify not washing their hands. It’s not that hard, I promise. You just put a little soap on there, scrub them together under the water, and dry them. You won’t have to move back any appointments in order to accommodate the extra addition to your schedule.

I’m now changing my name from Nathan to simply N.

You know what else is very, very annoying? People that walk into your stall and then do it again or knock on the door like they didn’t just see you in there. Argh!
