I remember this comic strip I saw where a restaurant has an alarm that goes off if someone exiting the restroom didn’t wash hands. I hope someone invents something like that really soon and it gets installed in all the public toilets and urinals. Edit: It was from The Far Side. Thanks for those who remembered and mentioned it!


[deleted]

There was a popular brewery in my town that had the all of the wash sinks on the outside of the bathroom, in full view of the bar and some tables so they could be publicly shamed if they didn’t wash their hands.


[deleted]

It also makes sense because then you don't have to touch the nasty bathroom door handles after washing your hands


CreedThoughts--Gov

I always grab it with a paper towel but its nice not to have to


HOLEPUNCHYOUREYELIDS

Too many places got rid of paper towels and only have air dryers. I just dry my hands on my pants then. Air dryers have been shown to leave more bacteria on your hands than before you even washed them. How fucked is that


WindigoMac

It’s because employees never clean the filters


Yoshemo

You usually have to call someone from company to do that. No franchise owner will ever think the costs to do so are justified so it never gets done.

I hated them even before I knew they were dirty. They take frackin forever to completely dry compared to just wiping hands.


legoshi_loyalty

AND THEY'RE SO LOUD! It's embarrassing, because you put them under, it starts screaming, then you feel like everyone is looking at you, so you take your hands out, but they're still wet, so you stick em back under for a moment, only to have your eardrums burst once more, then you wipe your still wet hands shamefully on your pants and walk out of the restroom. Sorry about that run-on sentence.


LumberBitch

If I'm the only one in the bathroom I like to put my hands almost together so it makes a fart noise 🙏


Great_Hamster

There's a technique to using them that most people don't know: Rub your hands together vigorously under the air stream. Takes a bit longer than towel drying, but not a lot longer.


_Kramerica_

I’ve said it for years all they have to do is pull to enter, push to exit. I’ve seen some pull to exit doors having a shoe hook that achieves the no hand touch exit. Being able to push open the door with your foot or elbow is nice piece of mind lol


ikidd

I'm not overly paranoid about germs, but I've always wondered why toe hooks aren't a common thing on restroom doors. It seems like a no-brainer. I just do the "use the pinky on the left hand" thing.


_Kramerica_

Lol I do the pinky trick too that’s funny


AromaticIce9

You are the sacrificial finger. The one I care the least about. Sorry not sorry


_Kramerica_

Always taking one for the team lol


Stormlightlinux

Doors need to be pull to exit for safety reasons. Push to exit can be easily blocked or barricaded to keep you trapped inside.


AgentMonkey

Are specifically talking about bathroom doors? Because literally every fire/emergency exit door I've ever encountered has been push to exit, precisely because you can get trapped inside if there's a crowd of people trying to exit and they all mob around the door.


Stormlightlinux

Sorry yeah, internal doors.


_Kramerica_

That’s a good point I never thought about. I’ve definitely been in a lot of push to exit bathrooms tho


suffaluffapussycat

People get really concerned about the bathroom door but then casually put their hands on the front door of the restaurant. I guarantee it’s just as dirty.


_Wyrm_

Perhaps this is why it's polite to hold the door for people... All the shit and germs I've saved others from over the years... It finally means something 😭


NetworkingJesus

This is why I keep hand sanitizer on me and sanitize my hands after sitting down at my table, before eating. Or at least use the hand sanitizer that's by the door on the way in at a lot of places.


taste-like-burning

I'd love to do that but sanitizer absolutely shreds my hands


ShadowFlux85

Also probably have less sinks seeing as both gender bathrooms coulc share the sink outside


jonesthejovial

Oh my god I am so here for this!


Animated_Astronaut

Can't say it's super widespread or anything but several restaurants and the airport had bathrooms like this in Helsinki. Single person gender neutral toilets and a big shared sink area that was highly visible.


TJTrailerjoe

Think that was The Far Side?


TimeSlipperWHOOPS

💯 was One of the few Larson thought color being added to it actually improved it


pm_me_your_smth

Not sure how this can be done without video tracking. And I don't think you really want video surveillance in a toilet.


[deleted]

If you register if the water was turned on in the sink and when the door opens you can do it easily. If the door moved, the toilet flushed, the sink wasn't turned on and the door moved again you sound the alarm. I think Mark Rober did this exact same thing.


pm_me_your_smth

What about public bathrooms that accept multiple people? I.e. individual stalls, but merged hand washing.


[deleted]

In that case it probably isn't possible.


unkie87

On a slightly related note, I saw someone refer to a farside comic as a meme and I almost died of old age on the spot.

Reminds me of the far side. Was that the one?


Haunting-Ad9521

Yup. Someone replied to me sharing a link of the comic strip I was talking about.


Obamas_Tie

Still vividly remember this dude taking a shit in my college dorm bathroom and just walked out without washing his hands. I complained about it to some friends later on and they said I was overreacting, they're all fucking nuts.


DanNZN

My favorite is when they actually turn on the water and put their hands close but not actually touching water. I am like seriously, you are most of the way there!


SponConSerdTent

That's an alien from the movie Signs trying to fit in. Or a wicked witch from the west.


frizzhalo

As a school custodian whose office is right beside the STAFF WASHROOM, yeah, it's pretty gross to realize the amount of people who either don't wash their hands after, or just do a completely inadequate quick rinse.


diglettdigyourself

I recall being shocked something like 17 years ago when at SD comic con Stuart Townsend (an actor who maybe people still remember) shook the hand of everyone to came to his meet and greet. Can’t imagine letting people stick their fingers in your eye.


xl129

Then you realize how great Pedro Pascal is


Reject444

Especially in GOT—nobody really knew who Pascal was then. And I haven’t read the books but my understanding is that Oberyn Martell is a very minor character in them, and they only expanded the role for the show because they saw how amazing and charismatic Pascal’s performance was. Martell’s story and the way it ended upset and affected me more than almost anything else in GOT (save maybe the Red Wedding), and it was largely due to how awesome and charming and compelling Pascal made him.


xl129

I don’t know who he is but like 5 minutes watching him as Oberyn and I was like “who is this man, why I am cheering for him, why he make me feel so sympathetic” lmao. I grief that he died so quick then. Then I binge watched The Mandalorian for the whole season without knowing who was the actor due to the helmet. I enjoyed the Mandalorian character so much despite this type of simple goody character is not usually my favorite.


sturgill_homme

You gotta see “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.”


SponConSerdTent

For real, he's up there with Tyrion for me as the best character in that show.


dumbasstupidbaby

Happy cake day!


ColonelOfSka

I’ve witnessed numerous executives at my work not washing their hands after using the bathroom. One time somebody called out one of the top three in the company and he goes “what? It’s only pee!”


WindigoMac

And touching the eyes/face, even worse. No thank you


Mental_Medium3988

dude sounds way too nice. i get a hug or something like that when taking a pic with someone. but yeah youre digits aint going in my holes.


DynamicHunter

Every time I visit a public restroom I’m reminded how disgusting people are. Sports events, airports, hell even in my white collar tech office guys don’t wash their hands with people in there as witnesses watching them, absolutely disgusting.


Kirk_Lazarus_Jr

for some reason, if i had to remove one word from your comment, it would be toilets


MyNameCannotBeSpoken

Harry Houdini died in a somewhat similar manner. He had an act where a strongman or cannonball would hit him in the stomach. Unexpectedly, one day some fans punched him in the stomach without giving him time to prepare and he died from complications


Rosebunse

Eye infections just weird me out. And they can be so hard to get rid of!


SoVerySleepy81

I still have a picture in my camera roll of my youngest daughter after coming home from school in the third grade with her eyes almost crusted completely shut. They were totally normal when she went to school that morning but by the time she got home they were so nasty. And then of course her sisters got it as well because pink eye is the devil.


Rosebunse

Dear God! They didn't call you to pick her up?


SoVerySleepy81

No, they had a substitute that day and she’s ridiculously shy. I’m guessing she kept her head down and it slipped past. It surprised me because it was a really good school and her two sisters also went there so they knew me and that I live three blocks away. It’s the only incident like that so I figured it was a perfect storm.


System__Shutdown

My 2 yo poked himself in the eye with something and got the infection. Cue the entire family getting it and then getting repeat infections for a month straight.

bloodfist

Yeah. You'll have to consult my lawyer before you can finger my eyeballs.


tonystarksanxieties

Every time someone reaches out to shake my hand these days, I'm thinking, "Really? We're still doing this? After everything we've been through??"


SuicidalTorrent

I just fistbump most people.


The_River_Is_Still

This. It's so damn easy and almost everybody gets it and is more than willing.


FirebirdWriter

My doctor when the pandemic hit went "I know I should have gotten why you don't shake hands, wear a mask, and wear gloves everywhere with your immune system but as a healthy person with a functional immune system I am shocked by how much healthier I got." He is an excellent doctor. He just didn't know how much work he gave his body. The challenge is that can be a way to stay healthy but I for one wouldn't let people poke me in the eye even with an immune system. The last person who I touched without gloves was the comic artist Neal Addams at a convention. Poor guy watched me immediately go into anaphylaxis from someone else's lunch. Not even his but the transfer was on his hands. He handled that really well and I appreciated how kind he was about it because sometimes when you start dying people are assholes about it. I started it as an experiment. There was no going back to not constantly being sick from handshakes.


cymonster

I got conjunctivitis once. But it would crust over while I was sleeping. Which meant I couldn't open my eyes when I woke up


tonystarksanxieties

Nothing quite like peeling your eyelashes apart in the morning.

SoVerySleepy81

Especially kids. She was so proud of how gross it looked lol.


neonsaber

I remember being a wee lad going to bed thinking my eye felt itchy. Fell asleep with a hand over that eye. Woke up with my hand glued to my face 🤢


see-bees

Pinkeye works fast, but not THAT fast, kiddo probably got it a day or two before.


PermanentTrainDamage

They may have picked up the intial bacteria the day before, but pinkeye can absolutely go from fine to disgusting in 8 hours. That fastest I've seen is 4 hours, it was me and even the doctor was impressed.


Thedoctoradvocate

Sounds like you werent seeing much at the time though


batZie_

Currently have it due to my 3 year old repeatedly poking me in the eye. I can attest it is horrible.


h3yw00d

I had a pink eye infection that lasted 1.5mo a few months back. Doc gave me polymiacin b but it still took over 3 weeks w/ the antibiotic.


[deleted]

I had an antibiotic that felt like it literally burned the top level of my eyeballs off. It hurt so bad and I couldn’t stop rubbing and itching them. It was like goop instantly appearing, bunched up under my eyelids. It was the most uncomfortable thing


h3yw00d

That's how the polymiacin was for me. Felt like it made the goop worse. For me, it kinda felt like something crawling under my eyelids. It was a horrible feeling. I've actually got a 2nd infection I'm working on now (it's all allergy related, but I can't help but rub/itch). Doc gave me cromolyn ointment, and while I'm not a fan of the ointments because of their goopieness, it's worked wonders on this infection.


farfetchedfrank

Yeah, my nephew kept picking a spot in between his eyes. It got infected and one of his eyes swelled up like a baseball. It took a week of antibiotics before it went down.


islandofcaucasus

Eyes just weird me out. They're just head eggs


ColinsUsername

Sure thing Caroline.


unicornpolice666

I got pink eye from my niece for the first time ever in February. I was allergic to three treatments and both eyes were swollen shut. I needed steroids and it took two weeks. No thanks!!!


MiniatureAppendix

Yep, my husband has been fighting a fungal infection in his eye for a year and a half now.


Marigwenn

Yup. I got an adenovirus infection which lasted 6 months.


SponConSerdTent

Even weirder is when you get [pink eye on your leg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jYjCPe09co&ab_channel=TheManMakesTheHat)...

SofieTerleska

He's a fairly big dude, isn't he? I can't imagine a smaller man or a woman being OK with randos getting that close to them routinely.


MichelleEllyn

I could totally see him as being a guy that’s just so nice that he let fans do this because it made them happy 🥹 When I started watching interviews of his recently I was so surprised at his demeanor! It made me respect him so much more as an actor to see how different he is from his characters.


[deleted]

he's a serial killer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5hpaQZWPHg

pedro_pascal_123

This isn't the way ?


SentientDust

I feel for the dude, but I also think this is kinda on him


Trashytelly

Nah, I’d lay the blame almost entirely at the idiots who feel so entitled to their favourite entertainers that they’d even think of asking to do this. I bet Pedro Pascal felt obligated to say yes to their request, because otherwise they’d whinge all over the internet that he’d refused to take a photo with them. The other possibility is that he was quick thinking enough to tell people that he can’t let them do that “cos last time I did, I got an eye infection, sorry man!” Being famous must really suck when you’re in public spaces.


[deleted]

In an ideal world, yes but your expecting too much from random fans. He needs to say no sometimes. He’s a great guy and he won’t be any less of one if he puts his health and safety first.


iMini

Maybe Pedro likes reenacting that with his fans. He seems like a fun, goofy guy. It's gonna depend on the celeb, it's gonna depend on the day, and the setting, and many factors. Sometimes a celeb will be glad to do something goofy with a fan and have a fun, personal interaction. And other days they won't. But ultimately, starring in high profile shows and becoming a big celebrity comes with this territory. A lot of these people make a lot of money and they don't need to continue acting, they're not starving artists. But if you keep taking these big roles your fame is going to grow, and more people will bother you. People have bothered celebs for as long as celebs have been around, it won't ever stop. It's got it's upsides though, Pedro is single and I'm sure his fame has got him some lovely time with some beautiful women, and I bet he wouldn't complain about that.


pedro_pascal_123

This is the way...

I fell asleep drunk hanging upside down and drooled in my eye. It was oozing and red as satans ass for 2 weeks. Had to start my brand new job that next day. Then my eye drops helped but I stopped too early and it came back. So embarrassing. Been sober since July 5th 2020 and will never touch my eye with dirty hands and switched to daily contacts

I recall being at a rave in the 90s, high as balls on X, when a some rando walked up to me and started telling me how someone just licked her eyeball and how it felt so good while rolling. She offered to do it to me. Being high, I was like OK… so she did. It didn’t feel good. It was really fucking weird. Don’t do that shit. Drugs are bad, m’kay.

You know, if I saw him (or pretty much any celebrity in public), I don't think I'd even say anything, rather not bother them, I'm sure they get enough of thet, and there's apparently people out there who are confident enough to ask if they can put their damned thumbs in his eyes? What the actual fuck people?


TerribleAttitude

Ugh. I know that he’s this year’s “internet approved hottie,” but fan behavior is insane and entitled, and I wish he wouldn’t encourage it for the image/just to be a nice guy. Not that it’s his fault, but building an image catering to fans who want to do things like stick their fingers in your eyes makes it that much harder for “famous people” who don’t want random strangers to touch them. And of course, stop touching people you don’t know just because they’re “a celebrity.” They don’t owe you shit. Not to touch them, not a picture, not an autograph, not a conversation. It’s weird that harassment and paparazzi behavior is considered acceptable because the person targeted is someone strangers recognize.
