How come guys don't wash their hands?!?!?! |
|
I got a stupid part-time job for the holidays at a popular retailer as a cashier....and I gotta tell you, when I hand back change (or a debit/credit slip) to people....well over 50% of men have filthy, filthy dirty hands! I throw the change/paper slip to them w/o touching them, but "what's with that????" It's just GROSS! Doesn't it feel dirty/icky to THEM???
:puke:

I wash mine, but I suspect I'm in a minority. I would say, based on my observations in public restrooms, that no more than 25-30% of men find it necessary to wash their hands after urinating/defecating...bit disgusting when you think about it, really...

To equate a culturally instilled prejudice against female body hair to ignorance of basic hygiene practises is really kind of silly...

4. I wash my hands all the time |
|
I was brought up that way. And let's face it, it's a good way to keep from getting sick.

5. They're probably mechanics. |
|
Prolonged use of oil kinda stays under the fingernails.

15. Oh, that kind of dirt. |
|
That is gross. I hate that. But you got to know women don't wash their hands either sometimes. At my workplace, I see women walk out all the time without washing those hands. So just because it looks clean doesn't make it clean.:-)

my guy washes his hands. Even after every time he goes to the bathroom he washes his hands.
His momma raised him right.

9. I used to work as a printer |
|
And my hands would get ink all over them and it was impossible to get it off of them. It took a little while after I quit printing before my hands became clean looking. As a trucker my hands still get stained every once in a while when I have to do minor maintenance on my truck.
Maybe you are getting a lot of mechanics, printers and truckers for customers.

Not to the point of having some kind of disorder, but I definitely wash my hands more than most of my male friends. (The few that I have)
And my hands are reeeeeeeally soft (I'm told), probably because I've never done a hard day's work in my life. Or any work for that matter, heh.

13. I wash my hands, but many blue-collar men can't keep doing it |
|
like they just work in dirty conditions so if they wash them, they get dirty again. If they also have dirty clothes and vehicles that's the reason.
but if they are otherwise clean and just have dirty hands, they might be Republicans. No amount of washing will clean Bush's hands.
