Hi, clean guy here. My greatest fear is that when I visit the bathroom for the sole purpose of washing my hands — like if I’m about to eat or something — that someone may think that the short amount of time I spent in the bathroom means that I didn’t wash my hands.
I know — who cares what people think? And I would usually agree. But not on this. This is important.
I’ve tried wiping my hands on my shirt as I leave the bathroom, pantomiming a sort of oh man, my hands are just still so wet because I just washed them! act. But then I worry that people may think that I think that wiping my hands on my shirt is an acceptable substitute for actual washing. Not cool.

So what do I do? Always walk out still holding a paper towel? Leave the bathroom loudly going “oh man, my hands are just still so wet because I just washed them!” Should I always comment on what luxurious hand soap they’ve got in this McDonald’s bathroom? “You’ve really gotta try that stuff… I mean, obviously I did.”

Or just wash my hands in slow-motion? I… I think I could do that.
