I know that feeling - when your brain just won't stop processing
input that you don't specially want or even would actively
rather not have.

However, I have a coworker who I suspect never washes his hands
after using the restroom.
Just curious. Why do you suspect he doesn't wash his hands? Hope
the answer isn't something gross.
My old office was next to the restroom. As much as I tried not
to, I could hear everything that went on in there. ::) I knew
when the toilet flushed. I knew when the sink water was turned
on (or not). Sure, it's possible that I simply missed the sink
water running... every time he was in there. I just found it
strange that I didn't with others. I don't know if you call that
gross or me being a busy body or what. Trust me... I really
didn't want any of this information. :-\[/quote]
Yeah, sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Yeah, my desk used to be next to the bathroom. I knew who washed
and who didn't. I also had to politely request that if you
needed to do #2, to PLEASE go use the private hallway bathroom.

I wish there had been a second bathroom to make such a request.
Luckily, we recently moved and my office no longer near the
restroom!

Oh yes, my last office job was like that!
Right after I read your OP, I was telling my DH about years ago
when I worked in an office with a total of 9 women. I and one of
the other women, also in her late 20's. The two of us figured
out that we were the ONLY ones in OUR department that ALWAYS
washed our hands before we went back to the office. We both kept
the paper towel we dried our hands on, in our hands to open the
door because we were grossed out that no one else washed their
hands. There were other offices on that floor and most of them
didn't wash their hands either.
I don't remember which one of us brought up the subject when we
found ourselves to be in there by ourselves but we did have a
little discussion. Her mother was a nurse so that is why she had
always done that.
Me, MY mother got MAD because I was always wasting water washing
my hands... that I was like Grandma Dollie (her grandmother, my
great-grandmother), always washing her hands. Well, maybe THAT
is why Grandma Dollie lived to be 97-1/2? And was in darn good
health up until the last year? I was lucky, EVERY single time I
went to visit her in that last few months, she was having a GOOD
day, recognized me and was in the present, not the past.
And we weren't obsessive hand washers, just washed after going
to the restroom, before cooking, eating, etc.

I actually wash my hands BEFORE and after going (unless I'm at
home and then it's just after). I kept getting recurrent UTIs
and it turned out that it was because I handled cash all day
long. Money is filthy.

I have definitely seen the studies about money and the gross
things one can find on them. But UTI?!? It makes sense, but I
would have never made the connection.
I am not a crazy hand washer. I would say that I did the basics.
In fact, this virus has made me more conscious of times that I
might want to wash more. But I will never understand how someone
doesn't at least wash them after using a public restroom!

I've always been a hand washer. And a fairly thorough one,
though not obsessive. I watched a Mythbusters episode once where
they studied germs and they confirmed that wet surfaces transmit
more germs - so I also thoroughly dry my hands.
When things were heating up with Covid around here, but before
the stay-at-home happened, I began washing my hands even more
thoroughly but I think was the only one. Now that I'm back to
the office* I seldom see anyone else in the restroom. However, I
have seen one woman in there two times who still just "spritzes"
her hands - not really washing them. I've been telling myself
she uses hand sanitizer before she touches anything.
*we're at 50% capacity as recommended and practicing social
distancing.

The biggest think I have had to accept through this pandemic is
that I cannot control other people's actions. I can, however,
control my own. I can wash my own hands an refrain from
touching my face.
