I was at work, when "nature" called. I head to the bathroom to pee, and run into "the dude". "The dude" is this one guy that i've noticed, twice today, pee ... and then just walk out, not washing his hands. My first reaction was, "Gross! wash your hands yo.. that's nasty." I then began to think about it some more...
Are our "private areas" really that full of malicous germs? Or is it more of a psychological thing, becuse we associate peeing/pooing as "bad" and "dirty". Are there really more germs down there than, say, your face or your nose? if not, then would it be considered gross to scratch your face and not wash your hands aftwards? I can see how picking your nose can be gross but is it really gross? Boogers arent really bad in the same way that a germ is, when you think about it.
People are obssesed with germs. They create "anti bacterial" soap, when in reality, i dont think the soap is on your hands long enough to kill the germs are they? I heard all you need is water to brush off 98% of germs or something like that. Even with soap, you will never get rid of the germs. and if you did, they'd probably come back right away since we touch things with germs eveyday: keyboard, books, chairs, doorknobs, money...
I, personally, have to wash my hands after i use the restroom. Even if it's just with water. I feel gross if i dont, and a bit guilty if i dont. As if i am breaking a taboo and becoming "the gross one" by not doing so.
aaaaaaaaaaanyway...
