Yeaaaah... those signs are needed. I recall hand washing is fairly common still, like 3/4th (favoring women) but that's not universal.
Looking it up, that's about right but apparently only 30% of men use soap? Wtf, lol
That cant be right, I hope thats not right
From what I've seen, that's optimistic unfortunately. But it seems to be dependent on the region / country.
By my anecdotal experience, seems to me men in poorer countries wash their hands way more than those in wealthier countries too.
Anecdotal experience here as well, but in the US with public restrooms, the men's room is generally much cleaner looking than the women's room. I'm not going to say that is the actual case. It probably isn't. I will say that every guy in the US seems to act as though the guy that went in before him used his dick like a firehose to strategically cover every single surface in that room with urine. Damn near nothing gets touched, and I could clean a men's room in less than 10 minutes no matter what happened in there, unless it got utterly destroyed with puke or other biohazards.
The women's room routinely looks like an exorcism just happened in there. I don't know what's going on in there, but there's toilet paper covering EVERY SINGLE surface of that room, there's mysterious multicolored liquids on the floor. There's occasionally what appears to be an extremely bloody mouse. It's not a mouse.
The long and short of this is that in my experience a public restroom is the IRL version of Minesweeper. Good luck out there.
With all due respect, my penis is the cleanest thing in a public restroom. I wash it twice a day.
That is definitely the excuse common among people who do not wash their hands.
It's not true in any way but its very pithy.
I work with a lot of grease and oils and whatnot, I have to wash my hands before I piss, and unless I piss on my hand, there's not much need to wash them again.
Though I don't work around food, which is important.
