Ewwww, right? I mean really, the dryer?
Really? You didn't just click over and read it? Okay, okay - basically he witnessed a dude finish up in the men's bathroom and walk over to the hand dryer and dry his hands. Did you catch that? #1 - he peed. #2 - he dried his hands. There was no washing involved.
Ewwww, right?
I was thoroughly grossed out, but put in my two cents: We were at a high school baseball play-off game last Saturday, and I had to use the loo. Upon entering, I realized that of the three stalls, #1 was occupied, #2 had flooded, and I wasn't wading through that water to get to #3. So I waited.
The door on #1 opened and the school AD (athletic director) walked out. I smiled at her and headed into the stall. As I turned to close and lock the door, I saw her exit the bathroom in a straight line from the stall to the door. Without a stop at the sink. That's right, she didn't wash her hands.
Now even in a perfect world where she didn't pee on her hand, and she didn't get any pee on her hand that soaked through the thinnest toilet paper ever made, she touched the stall. She touched the door, the lock. Someone else peed on their hand before touching that lock. Just sayin'.
Sigh. And she's in charge of our children.
My plea to you - For the love of all things cute and cuddly, please take the extra minute and a half to wash your hands, preferably with soap, after using the public restrooms. Mmm-kay? Oh, and try not to touch that door handle on your way out...
Ooh, ooh, ooh! PS - They're (my son's team) still in the baseball play-offs. In fact, we are on our way to the other side of the state today for the semi-finals and finals. They're in the top 4!! Wishing them all the best!!!

Gross! To me its just second nature to come out of a stall and wash my hands.
Good luck to your son!
That is just disgusting and nasty. I think I would have called the AD out on it, seriously. There is nothing so important that you cannot stop and wash your hands.
Ewwwww for the AD lady and Ewwww for the guy who dried his hands (yes I did go over and read...thanks for the suggestion). I have no words for morons like that. And believe me, there are a LOT of them. Anywho, congrats on your son's team and enjoy those playoffs! Awesome!
Ally thank you so much, and good luck to your son and his team.
I think I may go wash my hands right now just because this makes me feel THAT dirty.
And I'm at home.
(Thanks for the PSA, Ally. And good luck to your son's baseball team!)
Congrats to your son's team. And for the lack of manners or cleanliness, as I said on J-Tony's post... Nastyewwwdisgustinggross! Maybe we should all take Angel's advice and tactfully approach these people, since they seem to be multiplying and E coli can really ruin your summer...
Do they have Buc-Ee's where you live? It's a big gas station/everything store chain "down here." They have hand sanitizers in the stalls. Pretty cool, I think. I think they're trying to cut down the lines at the sink. They have like 30 stalls per bathroom, but only 3 sinks. It gets chaotic ;-)
This reminds me of the time I came up with what I thought would be a genius senior prank in high school. I was telling my friends - a guy and a girl - how it would be funny to add dye to the soap dispensers and see everyone walking around with color on their hands. My enthusiastic footnote - "Then you'd know who doesn't wash their hands!" My guy friend (and someone I'd had a crush on for a long time) said, "Why?" Dead pan face. He was not kidding. He went on to tell me how hot water was enough, no soap necessary. Ick. I know guys feel like they are getting away without contact with as many germs, but come on! I'm with you: Wash, use soap, rinse, try not to touch anything as you leave.
They just did this test on this show called Embarassing Bodies where they stopped people coming off of planes and they swabbed their fingers.
Let me tell you....
Ewwww.
And yay for the play offs!!!
Have a safe holiday weekend!!
Yay to the playoffs!!! Boo to the non-handwashing. Uck. Makes my gag reflex kick in. Good luck to The Boy!
Woot Woot for your son. And ewww! I am washing my hands after reading that!
You're psychic...'cause I hadn't really clicked over to Tony's blog. But I'm not shocked about the 'not washing of hands' story. I'm in the nursing faculty...it's shocking how many just walk right on out of the stalls and out the doors! I think people would be more inclined to wash their hands if every public washroom offered pretty smelling hand lotions for after you use the drier...right? I think I'm onto to something...
Public restrooms are the worst. I try to avoid them if possible. Pee when I get home. ;-)
Gah! I wash my hands and I carry GermX around. Okay, and I"m totally OCD and I open the door using a papertowel.
You're right on with this post, Ally.
