Who washes their hands after peeing?

My girlfriend doesn’t, her friends apparently don’t, most guys at my college using the urinals don’t, my friends at the pub don’t, my male and female flatmates don’t… bizarre

guys saying urinals? idk maybe marginally like peeing outside or something less disgusting cos touch their skin not stalls where there’s poo and blood idk. But it’s a chance to wash ur hands

Women saying at home? For me same above it’s a cubicle dirty flusher, opportunity to wash, whatever

it’s all so bleak everyone should wash their hands. It’s the easiest way to stop transmission of disease. We should want to take opportunities to wash our hands to stop spreading disease. When I’m old or get cancer or whatever I will hope people wash but I will know they don’t. You realise how many people die from flu? People don’t care

Who washes their hands after peeing??

Edit 6: mental health trigger warning, bad hygiene

My girlfriend (21) doesn’t wash her hands after she pees. I didn’t notice for about a year. She says none of her friends do. She says nobody at university, her sports team or on a night out wash their hands. She says her friends at work go with her and walk out together, and that she’s sure it’s the same in the men’s room just because I wash people wash beside me

Edit she says she doesn’t touch anything except toilet paper and her phone. And that the water makes her hands dry. And that she thinks guys don’t after actually touching themselves so what’s the point anyway. I admitted a lot of guys don’t wash at urinals. Edit 2: I told her she can make her own decisions but guys at urinals often only touch skin, often not even a door, whereas girls touch stalls infrastructure (eg doors, flusher, fecal matter). apparently I’m sexist for this distinction. I think folk should wash, always!

Edit 3 I wash my hands. To my male brain using an actual toilet stall (sh*tter) for a pee even at home is way dirtier than using a urinal! All the stuff you have to touch… We got into this debate cos she says she doesn’t touch anything while guys do… Do you wash??

Edit 4 she says given available statistics women in the comments are simply lying🤣. And women not washing at home or men with pp hands can’t tell her what to do.

Note
///health authorities advise you to wash to reduce spread of disease and illness. Washing when you have an opportunity to is a great idea. You can save lives through effective handwashing for 20s //////
