Is it normal for me to barely wash my hands after using the bathroom?

Sometimes when I'm done in the bathroom I barely wash my hands. I just turn the faucet on for like 1-2 seconds and let it fall on my hands for an instant, then towel off and leave.

I know its bad for everyone around me, and when I remember, I consciously wash my hands the CORRECT way, but is this what everyone else is doing?

    I have an overactive bladder and therefore go to the bathroom almost every half an hour just to go #1. If I washed my hands every time they'd get all wrinkly so I do it every couple of times. Pooping is another story. I always wash unless I'm in a hurry. Then I use hand sanitizer. Sometimes I get annoyed when other people are in the bathroom because I feel like I have to wash.

    only you know whether or not you peed on your hands :X

    if you did, wash
    if you didn't..... well sometimes in public places I'll wash my hands just as a routine, for the excuse of DRYING my hands with a paper towel and using the paper towel to open the door (just in case you peed on your hand before I got there and didn't bother to wash and touched that doorknob...)

    i think a lot of people don't wash their hands at all - they just don't like admitting it!

    After you peed or took a shit?
    Peed is ok, but if you shat you should use soap otherwise its disgusting as hell.

    I like to masturbate and cum in my hand, then just wipe it off on the side of my pants. Then I like to shake hands with complete strangers and say Hi!

    Eh, you're not contributing to the proliferation of super bacteria. I mean really, even the best soaps only kill 99.9% of bacteria... which means the strongest .1% survive and breed more incredibly strong bacteria. Why do you think there's a differant strain of the flu virus every year?

    Urine is sterile anyways (unless you have a UTI) so even if you did p!ss on your hands, while I wouldn't want a hand shake or a hug from you, you'd probably be fine (besides smelling like p!ss).

    #2, yeah wash up afterwards.

    It depends on whether you are talking about urination or defaecation and whether or not you are at home.
    Having a pee at home, I would give my hands a quick rinse under the taps, like you, for a couple of seconds. In public toilets though, it's soap, hot water for a good 10 seconds, rinse, dry, then avoid hand contact with anything else like door handles.

    But we should all wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm/hot water after a shit, at home or away.

    Frankly I think it's better to wash your hands before going to the washroom (#1 not #2). As a dude, I don't want to be touching my (clean) private bits with unclean hands.
