We're all trained to wash our hands afterwards

[SHRED]

After we use the restroom.
But considering how germ ridden our hands get during the day shouldn't we also wash them BEFORE also?

I do.

Yeah, I think weirdly like this LOL.

1. I wash my hands about thirty times a day when working clinic.

It comes with the job, so before/after, it's all the same...

2. When you work in a chemistry lab, you *always* wash your hands before.

After ... not so important. Just wash before going to lunch, or home. As long as you're working with chemicals, keep your hands away from food.

6. It's also wise after you've spent time in the kitchen, chopping chiles

It doesn't always work that well, alas.

3. I was admonished by one coworker...

...I had to make a quick run out and back and had just used the urinal, literally touching nothing but myself and was leaving as he entered and went, "Oh sick, you don't wash your hands, bro?"

My answer was "I can assure you, "bro", my dick is a whole lot cleaner than any surface in here."

(Yes, I normally do wash my hands unless it's a "touch and go" drive by mission on the clock, and this was first thing in the morning within an hour of having showered at home.)

4. Lol...nice!

5. It's also possible to use a urinal and not touch "it"

I've gone this way many times.

7. Urinal or wilderness.

I fondly recall scientific field work, even when there was no water to waste.

I'm pretty sure we all did it, male or female hardware, didn't matter.

You learn the value of "pre-washing" after playing with Skydrol...
