    Default Wash your hands, I don't want whatever disease the last person had!

    Having been around salon and healthcare workers, I find it disgusting that all too many people don't take standard cleanliness precautions, like not washing hands or cleaning tools. Almost all of them are foreign.

    In America, we are bombarded with hygiene commercials for antibacterial soap and alcohol gel. In the poor countries where they come from, a lot of people live in squalor and not-so-clean conditions. They either grow strong and immune, or die of cholera. Gloves aren't commonly used because they cost money and stuff. However, they come here to America, get jobs, and keep up their not-so-clean habits.

    There was one woman who worked in the nursing home with me. She had long nasty acrylic nails and tacky, ornate rings (bith major no-nos in the healthcare field, but this place was shitty and lax). She also never fucking wore gloves. Changing diapers, showering, cleaning up puke, nothing. I never saw her wash her hands either. I remember one time, she was changing the diaper of a patient who was having a full-out herpes outbreak. I offered her gloves, but she declined. I hated that bossy bitch. If a patient didn't want a shower or something and started trying to hit me or something, she'd take the patient, tell her things like, "The mean girl is gone, I'm here. It's okay" Even though she'd bossily take over, she'd complain that I was lazy and that she had to do all the work. I hated that bitch, and I didn't want her ever touching me for obvious reasons.

    I recently got a dirty Brazilian wax from an equally stupid woman. Normally I go to my regular, but she wasn't there. Instead, I went to the dirty bitch who only wore one glove, blew on the wax to cool it, re-dipped the same stick, and did an overall shitty job that left me with a rash and a yeast infection. I reported her.

    My friend was telling me about her son kept getting ringworm. The doc couldn't figure it out, as the house was clean, none of the other kids at daycare had it, and there were no animals in the house. Finally, they figured out the culprit. My friend would go to a cheap local neighborhood barbershop to get her son's hair cut. The place didn't properly disinfect the tools, and transferred an epidemic.

    All of these jobs require training. To be a nursing assistant, one of the things they test you on is handwashing and which situations require gloves. Cosmetology school also requires teaching cleanliness measures, like disinfecting combs. They have no excuse not to know.

    If you can't keep a job or keep getting in trouble because you're dirty, oh boo-fucking-hoo in C-minor. That negligence is downright fucking dangerous. You can teach pre-schoolers to wash their hands. There's no excuse for their lack of cleanliness.

    The thing that always cracks me up here in the US are the signs that say "Employees must wash hands" -Thats nuts, I want to print one up that says, "If you enter the toilet you must wash your hands" or "You dirty fuckers better wash your hands, 'cause if ya don't we don't want you here"

    It is one of my peeves with resturaunts that there isn't a handwashing station at the entrance. My routine is to be seated, order a drink, and while the drink is being delivered go wash my hands.

    Here's where I get wierd but, I have lived overseas. I go in turn on the water as hot as I can stand it, rinse my hands, soap them, then I scrub from my wrists to my finger tip, rinse repeat, until my hands are pink and clean. I dry my hands with a towel then use the towel to turn off the water. I use the towel to open the door then throw it away. If that is OCD can live with it. I also decide if I want to eat there based on how clean the toilet is. Sinks, counters, and floors; and I'll eat somewhere else as it is a good indicator of how clean the kitchen is.

    My other rule when traveling in foreign countries that if te resturaunt isn't five star I had better be able to see the kitchen. Clean OK dirty, No way. So Yeah I have eaten from roadside stands and bars. If I can see the grill and the setup looks clean and the cook looks clean I give it a go.

    ^In China, I was advised to always get my meals with boiling hot tea, and ask for a big bowl. That way, I could rinse my plates and utensils with hot water.

    I think an alarm should go off whenever someone leaves a bathroom without washing their hands. I honestly can't stand dirty hands; I think I actually wash mine too much just because they can't have ANYTHING on them. Even if they're just a little sticky, I wash them.

    Ew!! Sometimes at work if the womens bathroom has a major line we go to the men's room, since it has more stalls. You would not believe how many of these dirty fuckers don't wash their hands after taking a piss!!!

    Not washing your hands after using the bathroom is nothing compared to these idiot healthcare workers and salon workers who don't know shit about hygiene. These people are handling several people a day, and if they're going to make themselves into human vectors, then they're too stupid to be working.

    People really need to actually report these morons to the Department Of Health.

    Everyone definitely needs to learn to wash their hands. I think about it WAY too much. Think about this: If you have to pull the handle of the door with your hand to get out of the restroom (instead of pushing with your elbow or something) then what was the point of washing your hands in the first place. I go to the door and imagine all the people who probably touched their ass and then didn't wash their hands, then their hand touches the door and leaves germs. So I use a towel to open the door and if there is no trash can close by you have no choice but to throw the towel in the floor Of course, this wouldn't be a problem if everyone washed their hands! And don't get me started on the people who think that rinsing their hands in water for a few seconds qualifies as washing

    Doesn't the cosmetology board have their own place to report to? I'm tempted to report one place I went to.

    OMG, I once had surgery at a private hospital in Durban, South Africa which has a huge HIV rate. I woke up in the middle of the night and went to use the bathroom, without realizing I had pulled at the IV in my arm. I got blood everywhere, there were bloody handprints on the wall in the bathroom, blood on the floor, on the sheets, on the sink and the toilet. When a woman came to clean it up, she cleaned the blood without putting on latex gloves. I was horrified.

    The surgery was fine and six years later I don't have any diseases, thank g-d, but it still skeeves me out.

    My sister got hepititus (I forgot which one) from a needlestick when she was interning at a bush hospital in Kenya during med school. It could happen anywhere, though.


    In Ecuador men will piss in public, like on a busy street at a lamppost or a tree. Not only did seeing men whip their dicks out in public disturb me, but the handwashing thing made it even more gross. In ten months I got stomach bugs (projectile vomiting stomach bugs) like 4 or 5 times. Hmmm, I wonder why.

    That's just f*cking scary.
