I get hives from most restroom soap, so I end up rinsing well and using hand sanitizer most of the time. I wash very, very well when I get home.
This is me, exactly. The soap in the bathroom at work is so industrial and strong, it makes my hands swell, crack and bleed. I have my own soap, but I just ran out.

I go through so much lotion because my hands are dry and crack. It's the first thing I need to do immediately after I wash my hands. That said, I usually don't in the middle of the night. I'll also say I use a shit ton of toilet paper. My dh always wonders why we go through it so much.
I didn't realize it was common practice to not flush the toilet when peeing in the middle of the night. That is the most surprising thing to me in this thread. What is the purpose of this? I don't like the idea of pee just chilling in my toilet overnight.
Well, CA's governor reminded us that "if it's yellow let it mellow" due to the drought.
Okay, the not washing after peeing in the middle of the night argument is invalid. You've already:
1) Woken up 2) Taken the blankets off and gotten out of bed 3) Walked out of the bedroom 4) Possibly taken stairs up/down to the bathroom 5) Gone in to bathroom 6) Peed 7) Wiped 8) Flushed toilet
You're telling me it would take you fully out of your sweet slumber dreamland to then 9) Turn on the faucet 10) Apply soap and water to your hands, and 11) Dry said hands?
Invalid.
I miss step one in this scenario. Proof being last summer when I stumbled into the bathroom, eyes still closed, bent down to open the lid and about half way down rammed my face into the fucking cabinet door that my H left open. I hit that door so hard that my face bounced off of it and I ended up with a black eye. Also, I don't flush at night, it is so loud.
I don't get the people who don't wash their hands in the middle of the night. The germs are sleeping, or what? You're touching everything in the bathroom the same as you would during the day. WASH.
I'll admit to not washing my hands when I was getting up in the middle of the night multiple times to pee(pregnant). Beyond that I am a regular handwasher for sure.
It is almost neck and neck. I'm really surprised that many people are dirty dans.
This judgement amuses me from someone with a bird LOL
Doesn't their poop basically sit out in the open air between cage cleanings?
What? No. You clean their cage every week and you use safe waste catching material on the bottom, which you change out every other day. It isn't like you just let them sit in their own feces all the time.
I don't get the love for wet wipes, but my septic guy said that the main reason that septic pumps burn out too early is because of people flushing the wipes. Evidently they aren't good for the septic system and you aren't supposed to flush them.
I can't get my ass clean w/o a wet wipe anymore. It is a real problem.
If your hands are all broken out and cracked, and you don't wash them, isn't there a chance you are getting feces and other stuff in the cuts and cracks? eww
I think you read my post wrong. I'm saying that even though my hands are all cracked and painful, I DO still wash my hands anyways even though half the time it hurts to do it.
I'm sure you can guess my stance based off of my ae... I don't wash. Ever. Home, public restroom, work. Never. I honestly don't remember the last time I washed my hands. I'm not even being dramatic.
At home I only flush poo. I let my pee mellow. It causes no harm and it saves on the water bill.
Other gross thing to note: I don't wash any fruits or vegetables.
I am also NEVER FUCKING SICK. Like ever. I can't recall the last time I took a sick day.
Next time you awake it is your infant kid who is hungry and you swing your boob out using the same hand. Maybe you touch his face.
Next time you awake you have a sore throat and pull out a halls with the same hand.
Next time you wake up you forget you owed and proceed to prepare breakfast.
You have a hot dream and you stick your hand in your mouth.
You have an itch in your eye and scratch it without waking up.
While most of the time absolutely nothing bad can happen in any of the instances above, they are all risks of getting some bacteria in the wrong place and getting sick.
Meh. This is called life. Signed, the molecular biologist.

What reason do you have to not wash your hands post-bathrooming? Is it just laziness or is there a specific reason you don't?

I think it's a habit not to wash at this point. I've been not washing for 10+ years. Probably longer, but I can't remember.
It doesn't gross me out at all obviously. Today I shook the hand of a man who didn't wash his hands after using the bathroom (our office is set up so we can hear water running), petted a random dog, and then proceeded to peel and eat and orange at my desk. Zero fucks do I give!
Oh and then I came home and cooked dinner for me and my H.
