You said stall so I am onboard with your disgust. This always reminds me about a Richard Feynman story where he'd stand in the bathroom and ridicule people who washed their hands after using the urinal, saying the urine was sterile anyway. I find that kind of hilarious. Colleagues complained all the time, like "well I was headed to lunch anyway and always wash my hands before lunch"
- mikestew 7y agoMr. Feyman’s mistake is assuming I’m trying to wash away urine. I touch stuff other than my dick throughout the day. Post-piss is as good a time as any. Not that I would have ever that I felt I owed such an asshole an explanation.
- loopz 7y agoPiss starts smelling over time. You can drink it but don't pretend it's water. Various situations like sickness can contaminate and spread through urine. Some besserwissers just aren't.
- mkagenius 7y agoWhy is urine getting on your hands? Who designs your (not you specifically) urinals?
- mikestew 7y agoI see Mr. Feyman has been woke from the dead, and still feels the need to demand an explanation. People piss on their hands sometimes, own up to that. Let he who has never had a stray pubic hair turn the urine stream into a spring rain shower cast the first stone.
- authoritarian 7y agoNowhere in OPs comment did he state, or even imply, that he got urine on his hands... The point he was making, which you seem to have missed entirely, is that he ISN'T in fact trying to wash away urine but rather any other nastiness he may have touched throughout the day.
- mkagenius 7y agoYes, I was mostly replying to the parent comment. And in general seemed liked everyone in this thread was getting urine on their hands.
- fouc 7y agoThe first spurts of urine aren't actually sterile, nevermind the area around the urinal (where there's probably a non-zero chance of transfer). Ultimately washing hands is for the benefit of other people. It just shows conscientiousness.
- topmonk 7y agoIt makes your hands dry, though.

- AstralStorm 7y agoPush for a better soap then, disinfectant, or use a cream. Well, even just scrubbing the hands under water is better than nothing, if that's an insoluble problem in your organization.
- topmonk 7y agoI wasn't talking about soap. I never use it or shampoo either. My theory is that by washing away all the oils from your skin, you just encourage your body to produce oil faster. That's why you soap users get all goopy at the end of the day and your clothes smell. I can wear my clothes for at least 48 hours before they start to smell. But anyway, even just water can dry out my hands, and I don't want to use any creams. Either they contain alcohol and dry my hands out further or make them too greasy, and cause then to stop producing oils. I think your just going to have to get used to the fact that there is going to be traces of poop and pee wherever you go. I mean, even if people like me did wash my hands, the spray from flushing the toilet disperses fecal matter and urine throughout the whole room, onto your clothes, on your hair, in your mouth when you breathe. It's probably a healthy thing, exposing your immune system, anyway.
- 867-5309 7y agowhy would you favour naturally oily hands over clean hands? you are sacrificing everybody's hygiene for your own comfort. what do you do around babies and the elderly? despite your superior body chemistry, do you not wash your clothes in soap? would you refuse antiseptic treatment, or condone a team of surgeons with your unhygienic practice to save your life? there is a reason humans harness sanitation: it saves and prolongs lives
- watwut 7y agoUnless they pissed directly on own hands while not touching penis, Feynman was just dumb asshole thinking how smart he is.
