Hey Pandas, What Is Extremely Unhygienic But Everyone Seems To Do It Anyway? (Closed)

Not washing hands after using the bathroom, particularly a public one.

Sneezing without covering. Sure, a sneeze can really sneak up on you, but you can almost always get the crook of your elbow up to your face in time. Ewww, you say, sneeze goo all over my sleeve or bare skin. Well, at least it's NOT all over the air other people have to breathe. Your bare skin you can then wipe off and sanitize, and your sleeve you can wash later. But you are not privileged to just blow your sneezes any darn where you want.

Men that pee, and then just give it a shake, and tuck it back in. My husband does this, and it's like cleaning up after a potty training toddler.I don't know, for the life of me why parents aren't teaching their sons to dab it with a bit of tp. It only takes a second.

Double-dipping your chips.

Paying for your McDonalds with cash, then eating right away without washing your hands. You don't know where that money has been and what germs it has picked up.

Almost everything you do. After you hear about how much bacteria and germs are on EVERYTHING you touch you you first go through the ultra-clean phase followed by the inevitable acceptance that everything you touch is filthy and it's basically unavoidable. Maintain good hygiene standards, you'll be fine.

But definitely going to have agree with the salad-tossing post. I know that bacteria is on everything, that's not the problem here.

Not washing hands before eating and touching their faces.

Licking their fingers to flip a page. (I see this mainly with older people and this habit may be dying out.)

Dropping food on the floor then eating it.

Walking through the house with outdoor shoes on.

Not washing sheets often enough.

Brushing their hair in the lunch room. Clipping nails in the lunch room.

Not bathing often enough then covering up their stench with deodorants and chemical sprays.

Picking butts off the ground and reusing the tobacco.

Picking their ears, noses, scratching the sleep out of their eyes without washing their hands.

Walking in the ocean or a pond with an open cut.

Others have mentioned not washing hands. I'll go a step further. Biting your nails. Whether you chew on it, or spit it out, there's a ton of c**p under them that is gross. On a side note, picking your nose. Sometimes a tissue just won't do, but jeez don't eat it.

Sharing makeup products - nope nope nope

Tossing Salad.

Physical intimacy.

Letting dogs on the bed without washing their paws after they walked through who knows what all day.

Touching their own phones without having it cleaned. I forget to, but your fingers have a lot of bacteria. Imagine what colonies are living on it now if you have not wiped it down.

the "5 second rule" for food dropped on the ground

Dog "kisses". Don't let you dog lick your face ffs.

I have seen people in the candy near the ice cream machine just take a handful of candy. I have seen them use the buffet without gloves after many people have touched the same serving utensil

Owning dogs! Sure, they're cute and sweet, but they're honestly disgusting when you think about it. They rub their a**l glands all over the floor, they drool bacteria everywhere, their oily fur sheds all over the place, their paws are never cleaned despite them walking in all kinds of mud and muck all day, they roll in and even eat poop and grime when they get the chance, yet people still let them get on the couch or bed.

Buffets and potlucks. You never know who was the last person to touch the spoon or fork, and if they have washed their hands. Potlucks, you don't know how clean their home/kitchen is.

Not removing your shoes when entering a house. You've been outside and stepped on all sorts of nasty germs - mud, urine, animal poop, other bacteria, etc.
It's also respectful for other's cultural practices as well.
