Wash your hands
Discussion
working in a lab you get a little obsessive/compulsive about washing your hands (in case you inadvertantly poison yourself). Everytime after the loo as well! When in pub loos do you ever try and open the door with your little finger so you don't have to grap the (manky) handle with your entire hand? Or is that my just my personal psychosis?

And I thought it was just me.
Also try to do it on a part of the handle you think noone else touches?

Yes. IIRC its more important to wash your hands before handling your private parts - after all, they've been locked up in your grundies - your hands have been all over surfaces, keyboards - you name it.
Before and after for me...
Definitely before if I've been chopping habañeros.

Ah, but doesn't everyone?.. Now, do you go for the shiny bit that might have been cleaned recently, (or might have been poloished by so many hands), or the mucky bit which might not have been touched recently, (or might be mucky because of whats growing there)..

My uncle has to wait for someone else to go in or out as he won't touch the handle
I've never really considered anything like the handles etc.
Besides, if you're just about to head for the sinks after leaving the cubile then what does it matter?
And anyway, you've got to touch things that someone else has touched eventually - like the door handle on the way out.
You lot sound like borderline obsessive-compulsive fruitcakes.

Oh thank god, other people do that - I thought I was weird!
As an aside, why do toilets always seem to have one push and one pull door? It means that even though you've washed your hands there's every chance you'll pick something up on the way out from the bloke before you who had a poo but didn't wash his. The doors should be 'pull' on the way in and 'push' on the way out, surely?
Not that I visit many public toilets, you understand...
Yep
After both a 1 and a 2. ALWAYS wash.
BUT, if I am at work I use a towel to open the door as I have seen:
a) People leaving after a 2 and not washing hands, PUKING and (down to that peculiar different smell) possibly squits
b) Cleaners who now wear those sugical glove type things and meerrily clean bowl while waering them and then keep the same pair on whilst opening doors and even cleaning coffee machine outside!
SHUDDER
I also hate it when we have kids round at the house and mum and dad dont make them wash hands afetr going to the loo!
Obsessive/compulsive?
Hope not.....think I am just clean hate the thought of up-chucking due to a tummy bug

So it appears we all do this.
Time to change tactics as the shiney, innocent part of the handle seems to be the most fondled.
