My roommate only washes up if he poops, never after peeing. Now every time I’m in any of the common areas I have to wash my hands after touching anything I haven’t wiped down. Thus, I wash my hands twice every time I use the bathroom; once as normal and again in the kitchen because I touched the taps, light switch and door handle in the bathroom which likely have groin sweat on them… /rant

    Especially because the science DOES recommend washing after you pee, but mostly because you’re already in the bathroom and the sink is right there.

    The idea is you’re just regularly washing hands throughout the day.

      Yeah this is the main thing for me. I wash after going pee anyways because hygiene but I randomly touch my junk through the day and don’t run to wash after (sorry world, love touching Deez Nutz what can I say) but the reality is that it’s just a great way to wash your hands every hour or two, which helps prevent the number one way I’ll transmit/receive germs.

      If I never went pee I’d have to look for reasons to go to a sink, but as it is I have a convenient reason already.
