Taking a shit and not washing your hands....

sixstringmonk:

. You can't win the war against poop particles. They are everywhere. The poop is out there.

POOP!...It's out there!

Hahhahah I want that as a bumper sticker hahahahha! 

Yeah.. the fecal matter is everywhere.

Even in your Gin & Tonic or chardonnay.

There was an i-TEAM type investigation done in Washington DC a few years ago where the local news reporter went out to 5 bars and swabbed the upper inch of their mixed drink/wine glass and sent the swabbs to a lab.

You guessed it.... all but one came back with some level of fecal matter.... with 2 having levels that were considered "high" and health violations.

Hey Caz?  Do any of your bartenders "hand polish" those wine glasses with the same nasty towel to get the spots off?  (Hint: That's where the nasties come from).

Mark my words, one of these days we'll all be supplemented enough to ejaculate sanitary liquids. Thankfully, I will have masturbated myself to death by then, much like Pizza The Hut ate himself to death.

We use clean disposable paper coasters that are used for sitting drinks on for cleaning our wine glasses, we never use the towels to polish glasses.  And usually what we do is when we find lipstick still on a glass after it's been washed, is wipe off the lipstick with the paper coaster, and then put it through the washer again. 

I'm sure it's still not ideal, but we'd never use towels to clean any kind of dishes or glasses, they're just used to wipe the bar down and at that stage they're saturated in sanitizer.  Glasses and dishes are washed at such a high heat, that they are practically air dried as soon as they're taken out of the dishwasher.

Our work kitchen is probably the cleanest I've ever been in, it's scrubbed top to bottom every night, and the kitchen staff are really clean.  It's one of the reasons I don't mind eating in there as much as I do!!

Sounds like your place is ahead of the game, Caz.

Lipstick is a problem (esp with all of those 24-hour formulas).

Most places I go to, I will regularly see the glassware (wine) hand polished -- maybe not with the nasty bar towel, but with a paper towel or something else -- before they serve.  No final run to re-sanitize.

The number of fine dining establishments that handpolish ALL of their glassware in the back of house before setting the tables is disturbing.

Yeah, our wine glasses are washed in the dishwasher at the bar and are left at the bar with the other glasses, so we couldn't get away with wiping them with a bar towel even if we wanted to, because all the customers would see us!!

That being said, we would still give them a wee wipe with a disposible coaster or napkin if they're not shiny enough right before pouring the wine, but I think it's a pretty clean thing to do, considering what we use to wipe them with.  It certainly doesn't bother me to drink from a glass that's been quickly polished in front of me that way.

Cockroach:

Maybe I'm the naive one here, but this marks the first joint emoticon-ish character set I've ever seen.  

II should have colored it too somehow. 

gonzo:

 This is why I am not a fan of shaking people's hands... at least in the mid-east they use their left hand to wipe their ass so I've always felt more comfortable there shaing someone's hand than here in the states.

Gross.

While, it's true that, in theory, people use their left hand to wipe their ass, it's simply not the case.  Luckily, they are more apt to kiss you on the cheek than shake your hand.  Bidets are much more common as well, which I thought weird, considering the lack of water.  Now, if you think that the 'water' there is clean enough to poor on your hands.....

Bidets, while totally weird for most Americans, are quite awesome once you get used to them. 

You don't need to wash your hands if you take Cottonelle Ultra rolls with you wherever you go.

Plush, ridged 2-ply sheets, 4.2 x 4.0 inches a square. It's soft and strong, much like myself.

It's like wiping your ass with silk.

This thread reminds me of my highschool days. One of the retards was consistently wiping his shit all over the walls. We dubbed him the mad crapper. I never saw it, but I heard witness testimony that he managed to get it on the ceiling. Just think about that for a moment. What kind of momentum must you acquire to adhere your fecal doody to the ceiling. Not to mention the physical contact involved. I never found out who claimed the $200 reward.

 On another note, working second shift for a while you get to know a few janitors. I was once buddies with the manager of one contract company. He'd tell me stories of cleaning bathrooms in our workplace in which someone wrote "Hi, my name is Ass Wipe" on the stall. Using their shit of course. Not pointing any fingers, but it was a workplace with a thick middle eastern workforce.

Makes me think that if people did wash, a little soap wouldn't do any good anyway.

 Haha, Mad Crapper. I love it!

Regardless of what you touch in the bathroom with a paper towel you still have shit on your hands, and in your lungs and on your teeth.  I mean, come on, how many fecal germs are floating around in a bathroom?  All of them.  Just wash your hands after you go to the bathroom, and before you eat, and everything should be alright.
