I don't think Jimmy is saying Don't Wash your Hands....he's saying Don't Freak out about the germs.
Which I think is true.......people tend to be overly paranoid about the whole germ thing, Disenfectant This and Hand Sanitizer that. Good ones and Bad ones are everywhere and there really isn't anything you can do to keep yourself germ free...outside of living in a plastic bubble.
If you got kids you might as well just wave the white flag...they go to the Public Petri Dish everyday for school anyways.

exactly, but thats just me tweakin' my story....
I've tried to rephrase it many ways - be a man, dont worry about it, you'll survive, etc....the risk of catching anything from a bathroom is incredibly slim. This thread was about OTHERS washing their hands, not you.

Yeah, I got that from your 1st post.....
I'm amazed people here are this paranoid about germs considering they Handle eels, pogies, stripers and other fish that swim in their own "toilet" on a regular basis.

and I just watched a video where a guy grabs a shiner, drops it on the bathroom floor, picks it up ( I assume it was the same one) and eats it 
didn't even wash it off or get a different one  
you don't want to get mercer on you, other stuff I understand , your immunity can handle most stuff.
But if your immunity is compromised for whatever reason, overworked and tired or you have a lung disease, you can get sick from others who don't take a moment to wash their hands. THAT is a shame.
