I agree with you on just throwing the gloves on the ground at the dump station is ALL WRONG and disrespectful of others.
BUT, I respectively disagree with your comments about "why" some wear gloves when dumping at a dump station.
Those 'dump stations' and everything related to them IS a bio hazard. With thousands of people using them dumping waste 'without' gloves.
You have no idea who has what and who has touched what.
I for one am NOT going to take any chance of getting any disease from others. And nowadays more than ever there are 'numerous' contact diseases, and now more than ever a very 'large percentage' of people who have them. Serious incurable diseases like Hep C, Hep B, HIV, CMV,etc are all contact diseases from body fluids. I.E. contact with feces, urine. All found at a dump station.
There are RV'ers that do NOT use gloves at the dump station and then touch all that there is at a dump station. Lifting lid, handle on water spigot, and even the concrete/plastic bumper poles, etc.
IMHO wearing gloves when using a dump station is prudent and being smart. Not just being a germaphobic.
