      Yes, that well known hand-spread pandemic in a population of immune-suppressed people. Dude, you have skin, you have an innate and acquired immune system, they deal with with this crap on the daily.

      Unless these freaks were your surgeons prepping your heart transplant, calm the fuck down with the hysteria.

      Enjoy this video of a human immune cell (I know, I know, natural immunity is a myth) chasing a bacteria:

      According to AI that is never wrong

      "the total number of neutrophils in the entire body is estimated to be around 7 times 10^11 (700 billion) "

      Just for you I’m going to sneeze on my hands then use ALL the handrails on the bus!

    Aw crap saw the sign when visiting the USA, I thought it was meant to reassure me. Surely they must wash their hand

      You would think so. But I’ve been at a small local cafe and watched a guy from the kitchen walk into and out of the bathroom still wearing the same blue nitrile gloves. Immediately noped out and left because that’s just fucking gross

    First time I saw that sign I was baffled, as in most other countries I’ve been to it’s illegal for employees to use the same facilities as guests. Then I got a bit grossed out thinking of the fact that employees apparently need to be reminded to wash their hands.

        The last air BNB I had that was connected to the sewer service and still demanded the visitors use the garbage can and “not flush anything that didn’t come out of you.”

        I’m not going to pay for the privilege of smelling everyone’s shitty paper, having to clean everything and still get ass fucked by fines.

        Fuck that crazy shit air BNB got stupid, I’ll never use that shit again.

          That’s what happens when your plumbing was very poorly designed and you don’t want to destroy half the building to redo it, I suppose.

      What countries do you know of where that’s the actual law?

      It’s usually preferred if there’s room for separate ones, but at the same time I’m pretty sure in almost every country I’ve visited I can remember examples of little bars and cafés where there’s a single tiny bathroom shared by customers and employees alike.

        I only know for certain it’s by law in Norway, and I suppose I just assumed it was for other European countries, too, since a shared bathroom is rarely to be seen.

          That’s interesting. I have never been to Norway. Why do they feel the need to separate the workers and guest bathrooms like that? Is it like a class thing? In the us we have that too in super fancy places but I always got the vibe it’s because the clientele felt like they were better than the people who waited on them lol.

      That’s illegal in most places? Never knew that! In Japan, a lot of toilets in stores have signs saying “Employees may use this toilet too. Thank you for your understanding.” I’ve always been baffled by these signs and considered them unnecessary because isn’t it normal for employees to go to the toilet too? I didn’t even know that this can be illegal in some countries.

      They don’t need to be reminded.

      It’s just that all hand wash stations need to be marked. And while there might be employee restrooms. It’s not outside the realm of reason that they might need to use the customer one. Hence it gets sign posted.

    Given how bad so many people are at washing their hands (if they even wash at all), I kind of wish this was a real policy. At the very least, there should be a designated hand washing supervisor for the employees at restaurants.

    I’ve worked in the industry on and off for many years; on far too many occasions I’ve seen not only improper washing technique, but also handling cooked food, then taking out the trash/touching a door handle, then going back to handling food without a glove change. And then contaminating the gloves by touching the same part that touches food when they do change them. It’s extremely common and happens in every restaurant I’ve worked at. Good thing we have immune systems.

      Kyle Cooley always got ya back.

      Edit: Whoops, wrong Kyle, though he’d probably help you as best he could if you were at Taco Ticklers.

      Edit 2: Maybe Kyle is another nominative deterministic name that makes one radical as fuck?

    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

        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.
