I don't sweat the little things when visiting friends' homes, etc.

OTOH, when I'm in a public bathroom in a store frequented by
all sorts of folks -- some of whom may be ill, just handled
their privates, just changed their child's diaper (on the
changing tables that are present in rest rooms), etc. -- I
try to be a bit more careful about where I put my hands
that *they* might also have done in the course of using the
"facilities".

If I'm just using the urinal, many times it is more sanitary to just
leave rather than wash your hands with questionable faucets and air dryers.


True... You may not know where others' hands have been, but you know
where you...

Reminds me of the old joke about the sailor and the Marine taking a whiz
in the public restroom (okay, diehards, in the head). They finish up
and the sailor goes to walk out without washing his hands and the Marine
sez, "Hey, Swabby, in the Marines they teach us to wash our hands after
we go to the bathroom!"

Without batting an eye or slowing in his exit the Swab's retort is,
"...and in the Navy they teach us not to **** on our fingers!"
