Survey reveals dirty little hand-washing secret - On Deadline - USATODAY.comSurvey reveals dirty little hand-washing secret
The Tomahawk Chop still might be mildly popular at Atlanta's Turner Field, but hand-washing? Apparently, not so much.The Soap and Detergent Association is out with an annual study of the hand-washing habits of men and women. The association sent people out into the field to watch the actual hand-washing habits of people (as opposed to what they claim in surveys). It found that while 92% of people said they washed up in public restrooms, only 77% were observed doing so.
The Turner Field connection? Only 57% of men using public restrooms washed their hands afterward, according to the association. Women did much better: 95% of women washed their hands at the baseball park.
First, there's a Soap and Detergent Association?
Second, I'll cop to not always washing at home. But lately my kids have been catching me in this shortcoming and calling me out on it. So my percentage is going up. Go kids!
I won't take a poll, but I will say that guys need to step up the hygene!

I always wash my hands after, especially since the first chance I have a break is usually right before lunch. No way am I handling food after myself.
But, I have witnessed people walk right past the sinks and on out into the world, sometimes after walking out of a stall. Nas-tee.
I watched a car salesman do that when I bought my truck. He immediately shook hands with someone.
...it wasn't me.
