Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing? (lemmy.one)

Trans woman here, I've seen both sides.

A small percentage of the men's room washes their hands and a small percentage of the women's room DOESN'T wash their hands. It's a night and day difference.

Not my experience. Where have you seen this?

[-] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

I mean, decades of using one? And the mockery I received by men I got for washing my own hands? I have had family members and numerous classmates tell me that washing your hands is just admitting you peed on them.

Of course my experiences are anctedotal, but for me, it was a quite noticeable difference when I started using the ladies room. I'm not trying to make a definitive statement, absolutely there are men who do reguarly wash their hands, but there is also a very large majority of men who don't. From my experience, that's not the case with people in the women's room.

I said where. What part of the world do you live in? I’ve lived mostly in the USA, and most of the public bathrooms I’ve used have been at restaurants, museums, bars, and gyms.

In those places, it’s rare to see a man leave the bathroom without washing his hands.

So where did you see that?

[-] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

US, lived mostly up and down the west coast.

restaurants, museums, bars, and gyms.

And these are literally the examples I would've given. To be fair, it's been years since I've been in a mens room. But, I know it's common for most guys to walk straight out.

That's wild. Maybe I'm not observant but I haven't ever seen someone leave the bathroom without washing their hands

Is this the real reason why we have longer lines in the bathroom? In addition to having to finagle several layers just to pee?
