I've actually seen those (or rather some quite similar to them) in the wild a few times. They're not very convenient to use (because the seat is in the way) even though you can't help but think they're a great idea each time you use them.
I'm not going to bother to research, but I'm sure there must be models where the sink faces the side of the toilet. It'd take up more space, but still less space than a totally separate sink and toilet.
Public men's restrooms make me not want to shake hands with anyone. The number of men who walk out straight past the sinks without stopping is alarming and disgusting.
I could believe this. Not saying the men's are much better as I'd say they're definitely just as bad, but my wife used to tell me horror stories about the women's restrooms before she swore off ever using one again outside of emergencies.
It's absolutely gross. I literally think about it every time a Boomer socially pressures a handshake with me, and I try not to touch anything else until I can wash my hands or at least get some sanitizer. Idk if any individual is guilty of it, but enough strangers are that I'm not taking chances.
i mean i get it. i was cooking at an event and the way i wash up, well, a man there accused me of prepping for surgery. i was only washing three inches above my wrist. gran's an RN so we might have grown up knowing how to clean.
I'm borderline obsessive about it personally. Like after bathroom, right before eating, and right after some gardening. And it is fucking disgusting how many dudes I witness in public restrooms walk straight out. I used to call them out, but it's not worth the hassle anymore.
But from a purely subjective pov, never touch another dude's hands because odds are they haven't washed them in days.
I am a janitor for a college and you'd be appalled at how rarely I have to fill the soap dispensers in both the men's and the women's restrooms, there's a lot of folks who just don't wash their hands in general
If anyone is curious it came about because of back problems. Frakes has back issues and it was easier and less painful to do it that way, it got turned in to a character trait.
I decide if I'm going to wash them based on the state of the bathroom. If all they have is air dryers (or worse, a single fabric towel... shudders) then I'm probably not gonna wash them. You can keep your filthy germ blowers thanks. Taps look dirtier than the urinals? Forget it. If the bathroom is clean, then ye sure, otherwise I just use hand sanitizer
My dude, bandanas exist. Clean hands on your own bandana is as good as it gets.
Find what they call trainman, signalman or similar ones. They're bigger, tend to be easy to find in thicker fabric, and can do other jobs as well.
As you roll up to the sink, pull the bandana out, drape it around your neck. Wash, shake a little, grab the bandana and dry off.
It'll go right back in your pocket and not cause any problems very slightly damp. If need be, leave it hanging loosely around the neck or out of the pocket so it'll dry.
Also the bathroom door handles make the washing you just did pointless.
Like, I'll always wash my hands after taking a shit, but it doesn't really seem necessary if I touched my dick for a literal second to pull it out and put it up. And depending on the clothing I don't even need to touch it.
I see two problem, washing hand need to be long enough to fill at least on reservoir and You hâve yo wash your hand to be efficient. In public space you will fast run put water.
idk... from elementary to both snobby and trades type college/university classes I've only seen like 5 guys actually wash their hands and I'm one of them. Not counting the splash and flick guys either that's just spreading colonies.

For anyone who's curious, reclaimed water toilets are, indeed, a thing.

Yeah, you don't need the urinal to be under the sink. You can just run a pipe to the urinal...
Akasazh@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 227d
Or run the peenus directly to the sink.

When I worked fast food, I usually had to fill the men's soap but rarely the women's soap.
This could mean the place had more male traffic, women don't wash their hands as often, or something else. Who knows.

My mom doesn't wash her hands either.

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 19 pts · 228d
If anything, your hands are dirtier than your junk. Your junk sits behind clothing. Your hands are out touching things all the time.
Wash your hands before touching your dick. 😌
But also: If you touch anything to flush the toilet, you should wash 'em again after.
