- Men more likely to not wash after bathroom use
The gender gap has widened when it comes to hygiene, according to the latest stakeout by the "hand washing police."
One-third of men didn't bother to wash after using the bathroom, compared with 12 percent of women, said the researchers who spy on people in public restrooms. They reported their latest findings Monday at a meeting of infectious disease scientists.
Two years ago, the last time the survey was done, only one-quarter of men didn't wash, compared with 10 percent of women.
Yes, but we're getting better. You know, I was so disgusted with one former coworker who I notice walking out of the restroom without washing, that I never shook his hand again. I was still friendly; I'd wave... just no shakey-shakey.
ReplyDeleteThey just THINK I don't wash, because they're only watching the sink. I always rinse my hands off in the bowl.
