Washing hands after peeing.

[Scotty]

My point is your "5 second wash" is pointless.

There we go all being objective again...

Washing your hands for 5 seconds is a general reference to "It takes no drastic amount of time out of your life to rinse your hands, soap, and rinse off the soap" Which will kill off a substantial amount of germs, and you know this...

Evidence, brosky.

20 seconds, fine. Still.

If you require more "proofs" google it yourself. Every where I have worked always had the "hand washing guide" sign with the sinks, and they always said 30 seconds, I would assume their must be some sort of science behind this.

Either way, you're changing the subject.  What Scott said, I'm not saying "WASH YOUR HANDS FOR EXACTLY FIVE SECONDS", I'm saying it takes no time out of your day to wash your hands.  I'm still waiting for that reason not to.

It does theoretically.

Let's say you pee 5 times a day. If you drink as much as you are supposed to, that sounds okay. 30 seconds each pee devoted to washing your hands. Lets say you do this for 60 years, that's 38 days gone out of your life. Not so inconsequential now, is it?

[DarkTrinity]

OH NO! It takes 3 minutes out of your day that you could be scoping the SO forums and talking about not washing your hands after you pee!!
The tragedy! D:

It does theoretically.

The word you're looking for is 'technically', not theoretically. And technically, a number of smaller, inconsequential events take up just as much time as washing your hands daily, and they aren't half as important.

And every time you masturbate(depending on the person, and I don't care to know how long it takes you to orgasm), you use up approximately an hour of your time. Let's say you do THIS for 40 years, once a day. That's 608 and 1/3 days of your life gone, doing something you enjoy but that can be suppressed and isn't nearly as necessary for your health. Much more of your life 'wasted' in 2/3 the time. That's an activity you've admitted to doing, as well.

Honestly, what's the issue here? It doesn't take that long to do, and after washing, you could use your shoulder/sleeve to open the door out to the bathroom if you're that germaphobic. It's like saying you're too lazy to take 30 seconds to put on a condom, albeit not quite as extreme.

EDIT:

My penis is very well-attended to. I give it more thought than anything else.

That's rather bloody obvious, Pwnage.

Seriously?  You have to resort to this as an excuse?  Sit back for 1 minute (60 seconds for clarification, since you feel the need to emphasize exact times), and think to yourself about what you are using as grounds for an argument.  I won't beat around the bush and sugar coat it, what you just calculated is stupid (or rather, a waste of the 3-5 minutes).  Quit posting just for the sake of being argumentative, it's silly and doesn't strengthen your argument, if anything, it shows desperation to try and further pursue a lost battle.

i usually wash my hands after peeing at a public place. however rarely at home. i have no real reason why i  wash but i do have one for why i dont at home and thats i dont feel like it and i know im not really hurting anything by not since i usually dont touch my junk when i go. plus im a pretty clean person in general even if my house isnt :P

As long as Chaos wants to use the argument "It's only 5 seconds, so just do it!" I will use whatever pointless argument I want. Chaos may as well be saying "Just do it because you can" without anything to really go along with it.

If you want to dispute why you should or should not wash your hands in correlation to peeing, sure, but just "because", eff that.

Thank you, I am glad you agree your argument is shaky and pointless.  There's really nothing else that needs to be said.  If you spent a tenth of the time you spend making moronic posts for the sake of being argumentative, your hands would be very sanitary indeed.
