Although that whole antibacterial thing has gotten completely out of control. It's only making things worse. In any case, I don't feel you really get your hands dirty by peeing because there's toilet paper between you and your pee. In fact, your hands probably pick up germs from touching the sinks and door handles more than anything else. However, I wash my hands because I'm touching other things in the office, such as the copy machine button, which is infested with germs, and I'm none too fond of being sick. Knock on wood, it's been three years since I've had a big cold. :) Anyway ... just think about how nasty that women's bathroom is (I've seen boogers on the floor in mine!!!!) and be thankful those dirty women wash THEIR hands. :) Nicole http://perfectpixels.org
