How come guys don't wash their hands?!?!?!

[DustMolecule]

I got a stupid part-time job for the holidays at a popular retailer as a cashier....and I gotta tell you, when I hand back change (or a debit/credit slip) to people....well over 50% of men have filthy, filthy dirty hands! I throw the change/paper slip to them w/o touching them, but "what's with that????" It's just GROSS! Doesn't it feel dirty/icky to THEM???

:puke:

1. No clue.

I wash mine, but I suspect I'm in a minority. I would say, based on my observations in public restrooms, that no more than 25-30% of men find it necessary to wash their hands after urinating/defecating...bit disgusting when you think about it, really...

2. ain't that the truth

wash your hands boys!

3. Cuz they'll just get dirty again

[DustMolecule]

8. Yeah, just like Bette Midler who once did a GREAT (but obscure)

comedy bit about the female slob...."why botha" ...."why botha shaving my legs, I'll just have to do it again next month!"

:puke: to that idea too!

[Spider Jerusalem]

12. Um...

To equate a culturally instilled prejudice against female body hair to ignorance of basic hygiene practises is really kind of silly...

[DustMolecule]

14. Well, this IS the lounge....but Midler's 'bit' was really funny.....

the leg hair was just a small piece of it.

4. I wash my hands all the time

I was brought up that way. And let's face it, it's a good way to keep from getting sick.

5. They're probably mechanics.

Prolonged use of oil kinda stays under the fingernails.

[DustMolecule]

11. Nah, I 'know' what mechanic/oil dirt looks like.....

...I'm talking lazy/every day kinda dirt is what I see.

(don't be an apologist for sloth :P )

[Catherine Vincent]

15. Oh, that kind of dirt.

That is gross. I hate that. But you got to know women don't wash their hands either sometimes. At my workplace, I see women walk out all the time without washing those hands. So just because it looks clean doesn't make it clean.:-)

6. Um

my guy washes his hands. Even after every time he goes to the bathroom he washes his hands.

His momma raised him right.

9. I used to work as a printer

And my hands would get ink all over them and it was impossible to get it off of them. It took a little while after I quit printing before my hands became clean looking. As a trucker my hands still get stained every once in a while when I have to do minor maintenance on my truck.

Maybe you are getting a lot of mechanics, printers and truckers for customers.

10. I wash my hands consantly.

Not to the point of having some kind of disorder, but I definitely wash my hands more than most of my male friends. (The few that I have)

And my hands are reeeeeeeally soft (I'm told), probably because I've never done a hard day's work in my life. Or any work for that matter, heh.

13. I wash my hands, but many blue-collar men can't keep doing it

like they just work in dirty conditions so if they wash them, they get dirty again. If they also have dirty clothes and vehicles that's the reason.

but if they are otherwise clean and just have dirty hands, they might be Republicans. No amount of washing will clean Bush's hands.

16. I've heard all of the excuses....

like "my body is cleaner than the toilet handle/faucet/door knob" but I have one word to say... "BACK-SPLASH!!!!"
