Do you always wash your hands after you go to the bathroom? We're sure right now many of you are saying to yourselves, "Ew, of course I do!" But not everyone is so hygienic, according to spies.
Only about two-thirds of men washed their hands after using the restroom at Turner Field in Atlanta — the lowest rate for any of the locations in the observational study and survey on the hand-washing habits of Americans, according to The New York Times.
In other words, think twice about whom you shake hands with at an Atlanta Braves game!
But New York City also lives up to its reputation for being dirty. Twenty percent of people using the restrooms at Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal did not wash their hands, according to the study released by the American Society for Microbiology and the American Cleaning Institute.
(As a New Yorker, we can tell you that you really don't want to use the bathroom in either of those places, regardless of hand-washing.)
Not surprisingly, women are more conscientious about washing up than men are -- including 98 percent of women observed at Turner Field. Guys, it's time for you to follow their example -- at the very least, do it because spies might be watching you!

sanitizer with you. I do always wash my hands before preparing food tho.
It is such a lie, Women are one of the most disgusting when it comes to washing hands. No they do not wash their hands, they splash them and off they go. I decided to see how many women washed their hands at a rally event and almost 90% did not wash their hands with or without soap. They splashed water as did some of the men and yes I know there are nasty men out there but at least they go for the soap more than women do. Why do (women) they not reach for the soap? Have you seen where it is located, on the mirror or on the wall on the other side??? It is because they carry so much junk in a purse or their dresses or sweaters hang over that the sink counters are so wet that they do not want to get dirty or get near the counter. Now I bet they did not go in and see exactly how many women did this.
Where I was, the wash area is outside the doors to the bathrooms so you can sit there and see who does what. Now these so called AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MICROBIOLOGY I bet if they did their own test in their own building they would see all the crap that is there, lazy peop...

If you go to McDonalds in Las Vegas or you go to any fast food across this country, you will see how dirty people are. In Las Vegas, I mention Mcdonalds because the male employees did wash their hands both in restroom and when they got back to work but the women employees, my wife said she witnessed the females not wash her hands and where we sat you could see the kitchen sink where employees are supposed to wash their hands and the females did not even go there, they went back to work grabbing buns to get the burgers ready to fill orders. Now in Las Vegas there is no rubber gloves used so you think about it, would you eat that burger?
Women are nasty and if they are on their period, it is one thosand times worse. Men can be nasty but women are worse in my book. Pretty or not, it is just a nasty topic and it is real people in general do not wash as they should. I was raised proper as was my wife so we taught our kids as well. We wash to be sanitary I wish other morons would learn but no, you hear them later crying I am sick, I have a cold, well now you know why DUH!!!
Also, it is good to be sick at a young age (at any age really, but very good when young) because it boosts the strength of the immune system. Worrying about germs leads to sickly people.
And gee, thanks for going so out of your way to call me a poop.
Now, just calm down. Breathe. Be sure of your intelligence and emotional complacency... that previous statement... was a joke. As in, my original comment that you dislike so greatly, 'twas a joke.
Once again, it was a joke.
...... Just a joke.
