You Nasty! Unsanitary Things People Do That Are Just Plain Uncouth

Leaving The Restroom Without Washing Hands

Seinfeld fans can remember the horror Jerry Seinfeld experienced when he visited a restaurant and watched helplessly as the chef who was going to prepare the comedian’s meal used the restroom and exited without washing his hands. While it was just another sunny scene from the show, most restaurant restrooms post a sign that says “All Employees Must Wash Their Hands” for a reason. Employees are not the only ones dashing out of the stalls and walking right past the sink and out of the door. A recent survey revealed that only 80% of people wash their hands after using the bathroom. So that means for every five hands that you shake, one of them is urine-stained. Or for every five waitresses at a restaurant bringing out the food and serving the patrons, one of those plates is just as dirty as the bathroom doorknob.
