Can't believe folks connecting up sewer without gloves

Been to many dump stations over the years and watched the bottom of the Darwin ladder many times. Common sense and good general hygiene trumps stupid every time.
Yeah, I wear gloves and rinse with an antibacterial every time. Yeah, made it through high school and passed biology and health, of course that was 50 years ago and I am sure bacteria have changed, not.

The entire dump area is an ongoing science experiment as far as I'm concerned. I wear latex gloves and disposable booties. Laugh if you want, rinsing down the area doesn't kill the germs and bacteria. I'm not going to track it thru my MH. You can do as you like. Just remember, you touch your keys, door knob, faucet knobs and maybe the steering wheel with those hands.

A number of you gave me a big laugh....thanks I needed that.
I have exam type gloves that I use once and throw out....turn inside out as someone noted.
Again thanks for your humor!

I'm one that does not use gloves. The fact is, if you do it right, your hands never touch anything "wet. And if they do, that's what soap and water is for. If you do it right, you don't need gloves at all.

While I do have gloves I use them over and over again, black, then Galley, then, grey (shower and vanity sink) stinky slinky is not so stinky when disconnected!!

Have you ever looked in the bottom of the holder for cocktail straws at the bar ?

Makes some folks want to bathe in bleach. But we've all survived the pre-germophobe marketing days when soap (which doesn't kill any germs) was the answer to all our woes.

Make sure to take a mint and toothpick when leaving the restaurant. All kinds of fecal debris on those. Yummy!:h

Just Eat a Hamburger while dumping, then lick the fingers clean.:W

Recycling works!:B

I don't and never have used gloves. In fact, I don't ever recall seeing anyone using gloves. Did not know I was supposed to. HMMMM.

Saw a report/study that said that they found traces of fecal matter on 90% of all shopping cart handles they tested...:E

You have been full timing since 2012 and just now realizing some choose to wash their hands. How do you take care of business in the bathroom? I am guessing without gloves.
