It’s both a hazard for emergencies as well as a hygienic nightmare. We all see the people leaving without washing their hands!

    I just eat with dirty hands. No matter how hard I try to be clean I will always end up consuming filth one way or another so now I dont worry about it. I’ll take a shit, not wash my hands and then pick up a slice of pizza no worries.

      That’s right who cares about other people touching what you touch with your shit hands. Shouldn’t be around you if they don’t want that.

        Anything in public should be assumed to be dirty. If its not me fuckin it up someone else will.

            Its impossible for things in public to be clean. I am not making things worse. I am just not neurotically worrying about things that dont affect me.

              You are. Roughly 48 million food borne illnesses per year in the US, in large part due to people not washing their hands.

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foodborne_illness#Epidemiology

              Also Noro-virus:

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norovirus

              A large part of prevention is handwashing.

              Also, Cholera:

              https://www.cdc.gov/cholera/preventionsteps.html

              Have a guess what prevention step 2 is.

              You go around with shit particles on your hand, infecting everything. You’re a typhoid Mary. Even if you’ve never been ill after eating some food (which I find unlikely) it’s not unlikely that you have made people ill, and maybe even killed someone with a weakened immune system.

                  The US has relatively low levels of food borne diseases. It was an example.

                  Also parasites, like hookworm:

                  https://www.healthline.com/health/whipworm-infection#prevention

                  Up to a quarter of a billion people are infected worldwide, in large part due to poor hygiene.

                  Then there’s round worm, likely a billion people infected globally. Once again, due to poor sanitation and hygiene aka handwashing.

                  But hey, you do you.

                  Just know that at this point you might as well stick your thumb up a strangers ass then lick it. It’s fundamentally not that different to not caring about washing off shit particles before eating food.

                    you might as well stick your thumb up a strangers ass and lick it.

                    Mate people are eating a different strangers ass each week. These people never get sick because it builds up the immune system
