  • Not washing hands after number 2's in work toilets – Tell HR?

    I work in an industry where people should know better, yet recently I’ve seen people doing number 2’s and then rushing out avoiding washing their hands.

    Apart from it being disgusting. Is it the sort of thing that you would tell your HR department, or just forget about it and hope I never catch D&V or worse off these idiots?

    Why not tell the individual?

    How do you know they were doing number 2’s?

    That’s a bit judgemental.

    They might have been taking drugs or masturbating.

    How do you they are taking a dump?

    Could be snorting a quick line?

    Or are they rushing out to avoid the office snitch? 😀

    Maybe they were sat in there playing Angry Birds or similar, avoiding working?

    They rush out, and its a large organisation, you may not see them again, but yes I would if I did see them.

    How do you they are taking a dump?

    I don’t, but they were in a cubicle, therefore if not touching their own sh!t to open the door, they will have been touching someone elses sh!t to unlock the door before rushing out 😕

    Some come here to sit and think
    Some come here to s–t and stink
    Some come here to play with their balls
    I come here to write on the walls

    This was spotted on a wall as i had a pee, and then washed my hands

    Spread of infection where I work could result in death of people and measures being taken against the organisation.

    However I can see your point that other organisation may not care about people smearing sh!t every where 😆

    If it’s an infection control issue in a healthcare setting, bring it up.

    EDIT: Too slow!

    Otherwise, let the passive aggressive post-it onslaught begin.

    I don’t know about other people’s toilet habits but I’m pretty sure I don’t touch my own sh*t when I go for a dump. Have you considered installing a spy-camera to prove your case? HR will surely take action once presented with the evidence.

    It’s true, not wiping your arse does decrease the risk of this. Could be the future of toilet hygiene.

    Not washing your hands after going to the toilet is disgusting but surely if you can see them coming out the cubicle and rushing out then you must be able to speak to them.

    Or are you hiding in the toilets somewhere?

    TBH even flushing with the lid up apparently spreads a miasma of aerosolised turdlet across the room, including your clothes etc.

    This boils my piss – pun intended.

    I work in a smallish studio with only 2 cubicles in the bog – no urinals.
    Trust me – when someone’s snapping off a length you can tell by the eye-watering pong – it’s like being mugged.
    Some of the dirty bastids then def go out without washing their hands – no excuse and disgusting.
    Loads don’t wash after a p*ss either.
    I always wash my hands but then have a pull a germ-riddled handle – so always open handle with a paper towel.
    Thing is these dirty boys then go and touch other stuff!

    You’ve seen people doing number 2s? I wouldn’t be approaching HR with that story.

    Fwiw a previous workplace of mine put up printed notices on the backs of the cubicle doors and above urinals reminding of hygiene. Don’t know how successful it was as I wasn’t observing BUT there are too many in public toilets who wazz and go. Euurgh.

    Well, if this was causing a hygiene problem, surely there’d be loads of poisoned-via-poo-and-wee-triggered illness in the studio? Is there?

    I think this is an area where people’s sense of disgustedness about the act often* massively outweighs the actual health risks caused by the act.

    *but not always, because there are obviously scenarios, i.e food prep or healthcare, where the risk is much higher.

    That’s my thinking too, unless in medical or food prep environments.

    My wife even had a go at me one day, all I was doing was multitasking eating a bag of crisps while decommissioning a few warheads. 😉

    The sponge in the office (or home) kitchen sink is far worse for bacteria than someone’s shitty hands or toilet seat/door/handle.

    Also worse is people with bad colds or flu coughing away and touching everything in sight. They’re the ones that need to wash their hands in the loo, and every time they sneeze.

    Never underestimate a typical HR person’s desire to interfere with the lives of ‘their’ employees both in and indeed out of work.

    I believe you’re supposed to have really pitiful signs saying “Now wash your hands” I’m not sure their is a requirement to actually do so unless you’re in certain industries.

    Grimm though isn’t it – a lazy failure to follow one of the first rules we’re taught as children.

    It’s really quite simple. Open the stall door with your foot. Take a length of toilet roll in your hand, lock the door with it, lift the toilet lid with it, wipe the seat then pop it down the toilet.

    Next, drop your trousers and pants. Hover 1mm above the toilet seat. Drop a ghost poo. Pull up trousers and pants. Take another length of toilet roll open lock, then open the stall door with your foot and go back into surgery. Doesn’t everyone do this?

    I don’t wash my hands often after going toilet unless I’m cooking, years of playing outside as a youth all day, peeing and eating with out cleaning my hands didn’t kill me then and won’t kill me now.

    I also quite enjoy the game of going to the loo and getting out without washing and not bumping into anyone!

    When I do wash my hands I am always surprised by how awful some people are at washing hands, a quick rinse of cold water, rubbing soap into your palms and not drying at all I think is worse then not not bothering at all if I remember conditions germs love to grow in correctly!

    As HR typically exist to protect the company from harm by individuals actions they could actually be interested in this. Although in my experience they would pass it back to the manager to deal with by giving them wooly advice.

    I am so on the side of those who are disgusted by others who do not wash after their business.

    I mean, wtf?!? There should be some kind of alarm system on the exit, like George’s toilet book on Seinfeld.

    I hope this is a troll.
    If not, this really demonstrates how dangerous ignorance can be.
    This is really nothing to be proud of. Do yourself, and those around you a favour, and wash your hands after you take a shit. Doofus :D.

    I have a colleague who has a wee in the traps. He insists on wiping his penis vigorously with loo roll to avoid wembleys*.
    The first time I heard the vigorous wiping ,I was disturbed. At least he washes his mittens.

    I think it’s disgusting and reporting it to HR sounds like the sensible thing to do.

    It’s basic hygiene and why someone would think it’s acceptable not to wash their hands after cutting a monkey tail is beyond me.

    ….smear it on the sink* (some on your face) and when you hear someone’s coming into the toilet start licking it off in a frenzied fashion.

    *wash the sink first
