gross, and nasty co-worker. do i say anything?

i was in the bathroom doing my thing, when a coworker steps in and enters a stall. he then sounds off like a, "poor guy on his first day at work at a mexican bran muffin factory".
it wasnt pretty (but fast). at the time, i was scrubbing my hands like i was prepping for surgery. well, he exits the stall, walks past me and leaves! the nasty fool didnt even glance at the sink! do i say anything? or do i just put him on my mental list of NEVER SHAKE HIS HANDS? or maybe i nice tactful sign put up in the bathroom that says, "if your hands get near your dcik or but-hole, then please wash with soap and water"?

they call that cock-mittens in jail. a guy at my office does it too, i now never leave the bathroom w/o a towel to turn the door knob with. is you guy from another country?

there are studies that say you come in contact with other's fecal matter like 4 or 5 times a day on average w/o even knowing it. poo does not rule, creeps me out.

i wont even pick up my dogs poo in the park i walk him in. i carry bags and when he dumps i bend over and pick up leaves, rocks, or just fake the recovery. i then go to the nearest garbage can and dump the empty bag. poo does not rule

I would print signs. Place a sign on the inside door of each stall;

BOB,
Please wash your hands after you wipe your ass.
Thank you.

I used to work with a guy who was rather unkempt, to say the least. This was back when the shirt and tie was still expected in the office. He would periodically be seen with his shirt tail hanging out, with a big old nasty skid mark on it. "Note to self - don't sit in that chair..."

toby - pick up your dogs crap. Especially in the park where my 2 y/o can fall in it.

Get one of these I have one and you never come close to the poo.

As far as co-workers not washing. If your Larry David you would just speak up and confront them. If not. A good note in the stalls would do well.

Every place has the pigs that pisses on the seat (cause their embarrased to use a urinal ??), doesn't wash their hands or doesn't flush the appliances.

A new pleasure at my office are the few "foreign" guys who like to blow their nose into the sink....from 2 feet above! UnfcukingBelievable.

I printed signs and placed them all over one of the bathrooms. While they were taken down quiickly by the clean-up crew I haven't seen an nose blowers lately.

BTW, I don't touch anything in any public restroom...ever. It's a paper towel all the way to my office.

Don't bother putting up a sign, if they don't wash their hands now, a sign isn't going to do anything. We put up a sign in the restroom at work that said "if you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat". It didn't work. Some people are just pigs.

I'm still waiting for the sneeze-guard for the front of my desk. I get people who think its ok to eat while they are talking to me, spewing dust & chunks all over my desk.

In China men hack up very loud loogies and spit them anywhere in public. I've seen it done in restaurants, on buses, etc. I actually saw a "NO SPITTING" sign in the lobby of the Nanjing Sheraton. Apparently, the gubmint is really trying to extinguish this habit before they get a lot more foreigners there for the Bejing Olympics.

The sign will work beautifully, but only if the culprits NAME is on the sign and there is a sign posted in each stall. I've done this before. It works.

Me too. One of the Unix admins came to work coughing and sneezing. He came into my office and I told him not to get too close, so the guy jokingly moves towards me. When he got about two arms lengths away I grabbed my lysol and sprayed him down. He smelt fresh but I didn't see him for a few days after that.

True story:
I go in and pee. See the shoes in the stall. It's Tom. Unroll the paper towels a bit, and write "Tom Sucks" on the paper towels. I tuck them back into the machine a bit and bolt. Hours go by and Tom says nothing. Curiosity got the best of me so I asked Tom if he got my note...needless to say he didn't because he didn't wash his F*KING HANDS. We just looked at each other for a couple of seconds and moved on. Ewwww.

You guys would not do well in any of the markets in China, India or the Middle East.

There are germs everywhere. Get over it and move ahead...

Make sure you put the sign on all the stalls in the womens' restroom as well.
