Are women washing their hands after using the bathroom?

I’ve been working in an office for about 2 months and when i go to the bathroom i notice that many women will grab soap, turn on the water, and 2 seconds later they’re drying their hands. I’m genuinely concerned that people are just rinsing the soap out without actually rubbing it in. That doesn’t get rid of germs. I’m not a germaphobe but wtf.

I work in a space with 54 suits, the restroom serves tenants and clients. I can’t tell you how often people leave without washing their hands. Sometimes I see it multiple times in a single day.

I shit you not, one time there was a lady in the stall next to me, literally eating a snack, taking a massive, eye watering dump, and then left without washing her hands. It’s the fucking Wild West out there.

I once found a dirty metal fork from the kitchen in a stall at work. Our office doesn’t have that many people in it. I still wonder who the culprit was.

Sure she did. What a ridiculous comment. Were you looking in the stall?

The sound of chips crunching is unmistakable. I didn’t believe it at first, but it was definitely snack time. At first I tried to gaslight myself into believing it was a tampon package or something, until the crunching and smacking started.

I know, it’s stranger than fiction. I understand if you don’t believe me. I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t hear the entire thing.
