Over the last year or so in the corporate world, I have noticed something. Something disturbing. Something that speaks loudly about the character of man . . . . well . . . men. Ladies, you'll have to get your own experiment.I noticed, given a specific situation, a particular behavior occurs time and time again. I began to notice it about four or five months ago and started collect my scientific data shortly thereafter. Most days, at some point, I excuse myself from my luxurious and wonderful cubicle to . . . well, take care of some digestive business . . . and I make my way to the nearby lavatory. Once there, my experiment begins.
While in the restroom, I have noticed the number of gentlemen who take the time to wash their hands before returning to work. This is where it gets scary. When the test subjects are aware of a second person present, the percent of those who wash their hands is 99.2% (136 out of 137). HOWEVER . . . when they are think they are alone, the percentage DROPS to a staggering 12.9% (8 out of 62).
Come on guys! STEP UP! Have some integrity!!! WASH THOSE HANDS!! (and you know who you are!)

most of the women I know wash thier hands when they come out of the bathroom or they get a 'your gross!' look from me :) I've never spied on women though, so I don't know what they do when no one is looking.
