My roommate only washes up if he poops, never after peeing. Now every time I’m in any of the common areas I have to wash my hands after touching anything I haven’t wiped down. Thus, I wash my hands twice every time I use the bathroom; once as normal and again in the kitchen because I touched the taps, light switch and door handle in the bathroom which likely have groin sweat on them… /rant

    Yup. Wash your hands with soap four times daily and you reduce your chance of catching a surface-borne disease by 80%

    I work in a hospital and one Christmas I brought home gastric 'flu with me… that wasn’t a wonderful Yuletide for anyone.
