Men who don't wash their hands

This gripe was in fact written by a man who washes his hands - me! I'm also aware that there are a number of women, perhaps not so many, who also can't be bothered to wash their hands. Maybe I should have named the gripe "People who don't wash their hands".

This gripe should be changed to "men don"t wash their hands". Filthy pigs! all of em!

Andy : There is an argument against over-sanitation and obsessive washing and disinfection, but your view is just immature, ignorant, anti-social, stupid, and dirty. It really is that simple. You may wish to be filthy and unhygienic but you have no right to spread your germs and filth to others.

I don't have the time to wash my hands, but I don't think that it matters. germs don't do anything! It's a waste of time. It bugs me when people tell me, "Wash your hands!" I don`t wash my hands and I don't care.

I'm sick and tired of the same thing at my middle school.

Never mind men not washing their hands ,women are just as guilty, it makes my blood boil they would be the first to mention if a nurse or doctor did not wash their hands before examining them , do they not realise that they have picked up other peoples germs up in the process ! this is why we cannot eradicate illlness from society.

The expert's reckon that if you work in a large building, you "touch" ten of these "things" indirectly every day, door handles, telephones, keyboards and mouses ect.

I always wash my hand's after a visit to the lav.

I work in a pub cleaning & the soap in the gents lasts ages,but not in the ladies .I wonder why?maybe they just use water.

I suppose men don't tend to wash their hands because it is too polite and ladylike.

Yeah I totally agree with this, its so disgusting. As a former waiter myself, I would sometimes use the same bathroom as the customers and the amount of times I would see a customer come into our restaurant, use our toilets and then not wash their hands was countless. These same customers would then go onto serve themselves food from the buffet line! Just the thought of that makes me sick and to cap it all off its us who get the blame when someone goes ill from the restaurant food. Obviously bars and clubs are much worse but how can these people not realise how disgusting it is!!!

I'd say the vast majority of guys in England do not wash their hands and have no idea about hygiene. And before you guys say anything I am English myself! The number of times I see guys after using the urinal (and toilet) leave without washing far outnumbers the handwashers. I think pubs and nightclubs are the most dirty of public places, because most guys simply do not wash their hands. It sickens me that guys seem to think the most basic hygiene practice is not important. Are kids not taught to wash their hands by their parents? Why are the majority of men so dirty? Is it part of the culture? Do women think that men in England are disgusting too. It will be interesting to have different viewpoints about this underrated topic.

I agree completely with this gripe. On a similar note, what annoys me too is when people don't flush the toilet after themselves... I can only assume they are so drained of strength after doing their "job" that they're unable to press the flush handle down.
