    I've heard of someone who actually had a fly printed in the toilet bowl right at the waterline - stopped all of the misses because everyone was now 'aiming' ! Steven J. Ackerman, Consultant ACS, Sarasota, FL http://www.acscontrol.com steve@acscontrol.com sja@gte.net

    That's brilliant! I'll have to suggest that to management. Our bathroom floor around the urinal usually gets pretty soggy by the end of the day. X| Jon Sagara "There are lies, damned lies and statistics." -- Mark Twain.

      I used to work with an Air Force guy. His viewpoint was that you should wash your hands on the way in, not out. He felt that your hands were probably dirtier that other parts... Ed

        Reminds me of the old Navy vs. Marines joke: A sailor and a marine are using a public restroom at the same time. When finished urinating the marine turns to walk out and the sailor says, "In the Navy they taught us to wash our hands afterward!" The Marine responds, "In the Marines they taught us to NOT piss all over our hands!" Mike Mullikin - Sonork 100.10096 "Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support group for that.

        Actually that's a contraction of another joke I heard: In the bathroom, an American, Englishman and Australian (obviously) were standing side-by-side using the urinal. The American finished, zipped up and started washing and literally scrubbing his hands...clear up to his elbows....he used about 20 paper towels before he finished. He turned to the other two men and commented, "Where I come from they taught us to be sanitary." The Englishman finished, zipped up and quickly wet the tips of his fingers, grabbed one paper towel and commented, "Where I come from they taught us to be environmentally conscious." The Australian zipped up and as he was walking out the door said, "Where I come from they taught us not to piss on our hands." cheers, Chris Maunder

They're on company time when they are doing it anyway, so what's the hurry? I believe they are conserned that other people in the rest room will think badly of them for not washing there hands. I say if you're going to be a dirty bastard then be one, quit fooling yourself. I see a number of people that don't wash there hands at all but at least they're not faking it like the other people.

              I'm afraid that's the least of my concerns here. I work with a bunch of engineer types, and somebody (don't know who yet) has extremely poor "aim". The number of times I have to mop down the toilet seat and tank and floor before I sit... It's like they don't give a crap simply because they know someone else will clean it up eventually. J

              You think YOU have problems - at our last office someone had a SERIOUS bowel problem and you'd go to a toilet bowl covered in faeces, the stuff was simply too sticky to flush and obviously he had a spray nozzle attached to his backside. I staked out the toilet it corner the culprit and demand they flush twice, but it turned out to be a big, manager type, so I lived with it....

                  I've also witnessed people walking into the bathrood with food, sitting on the toilet (not actually witnessing this instant in time), and coming out of the bathroom 20 minutes later without the food. Just so that we keep things in their proper perspective, these are NOT the same people that come out of the bathroom licking their fingers.

                    That the hell is it with men who run their hands under water for 0.2 seconds after they use the rest room†! What psychological disorder do these people suffer from that they must delude themselves into believing that constitutes washing your hands! Then they pull off three feet of paper towel, wad it up and throw it in the trash. If your going to be an unsanitary oaf and spread your urine all over your workplace then do so. Don't feel obligated to play in the water just because there is someone else in the rest room that might observe the fact that you did not wash your hands. † For international readers, “rest room” is the American description of a room designated to expel contaminated matter.

                    I thought it was only women who are neurotic about this. My wife gives me hell about it, but 1. I don't eat a lot, and I drink a lot of fluid (obviously, just clarifying I don't mean I am a drunk) 2. Therefore I am far more likely to just need to pee 3. I hate wasted time, so I always take the book of the moment ( Standard C++ IOStreams and Locales at the moment, a stonking good book ) with me, meaning I sit down so I can have a read. Admittedly sometimes this means I spend far more time in there than I need to. 4. Given that I've not touched the equipment, or had my hands near it during the time of elimination, why on earth do I need to wash my hands ?

                          Although I find not washing your hands disturbing at least you acknowledge you don't wash them. My point was that coming in contact with water does not constitute washing them so why bother? I think it is because they're concerned about what other people might think. I think they're ass lint for caring.

                                  Maybe they're just throwing it directly into the bowl. That makes sense: 1. You're eliminating the middle man, thereby improving the (ahem) bottom line. 2. You're reducing latency (no waiting around for hours). 3. You're reducing waste (you don't even have to unwrap it). Ok. Enough. Tim Lesher http://www.lesher.ws

                                          I thought it was only women who are neurotic about this. My wife gives me hell about it, but 1. I don't eat a lot, and I drink a lot of fluid (obviously, just clarifying I don't mean I am a drunk) 2. Therefore I am far more likely to just need to pee 3. I hate wasted time, so I always take the book of the moment ( Standard C++ IOStreams and Locales at the moment, a stonking good book ) with me, meaning I sit down so I can have a read. Admittedly sometimes this means I spend far more time in there than I need to. 4. Given that I've not touched the equipment, or had my hands near it during the time of elimination, why on earth do I need to wash my hands ?

The people who touched those before you may not have been so fortunate in not touching their equipment. That is the point of washing your hands after using the bathroom, to wash other people's yuckies from your hands. Cathy
