See for yourself on page 1 of the supplier's safety data sheet, here:

In my science job we get them from the chemical suppliers. Apparently one large supplier of distilled water used to recommend (in case of skin contact) to wash it off with copious amounts of - you've guessed it - water
We were told that during a health & safety lecture. Of course for most substances it's the obvious thing to do if you've just spilled it over yourself. Another one for the cleaning up of a dusty powder if spilled was to "sweep into a sealed waste container without raising dust" - ever tried doing that? You can't. It raises dust and you inhale it unless you hold your breath. But, it was eventually noticed and corrected. Nobody thinks when they write these sheets. Lies, damned lies, and safety data. The idea is that workers obey the sheets and are therefore working safely.

Its like an old friend of mine will not wash his hands after he pees. I'm like "man, wash your hands will ya!" and he just says "my parents taught me not to piss on my hands"

oh yuck, now that IS gross...i'm a girl and i always wash my hands after going for a wee...i can't understand people not doing so.
If I use a public restroom, hell no, those taps aand dryers are dirtier than I am... At home, I am much more likely to. Also, I look for the the toilet that I have to do minimal work to to be clean enough for me, and flushing just makes my hands that much dirtier, so no to that there. I will not do more than urnal activity in the public restrooms, but I wont use a urinal because they are so much more dirtier than a stall... At least as a guy I can stand at the stall and pee, as this eliminates almost all contact. I will not take a dump in one unless my only other choice is my pants. I am definitly not a germaphobe, but I do not like the fact of how dirty public restrooms are, this opinion got worse after having to clean them 5 days a week for mcdonalds.
Lol, I know, they are disgusting. Just wash the tap and your hands. I just took so anti bacterial stuff around with me, when I was at the airport.

Duh, yeah, thats so stupid, and yes I have tried that with dust many times. Another thing thats starting to piss me off, is the best before date on some items. On certain stuff its almost impossible to find

Here's something interesting: Part of building a good immune system is having contact with germs, that way your body knows how to fight them off, so be cleaner when you are sick, and less clean when you are well.

Yeah, i'll try, I just find it so difficult

I agree with this to a certain extent. Some people go way over the top with cleanliness. But it doesn't excuse being a slob either. Just like everything else, you have to find the right balance

What have the women been doing with their hands then? 
I heard that a tongue carries the most bacteria?

It all comes out in the rinse topic
My mother did not like rinsing and so many of the dishes still had that soapy taste.
I always rinse dishes under running water, not a sinkful of clear H2O.
In North America we call it dish detergent (the liquid soap Brits and Aussies call 'washing up liquid'. 
That smilie sure pukes a lot.

I really don't know what they would do that would cause that, it is just what I read.

Not rinsing dishes in hot water after washing is like getting out of a bathtub without taking a shower afterwards to get clean. It just isn't something that should be done by civilized people.
you have a shower straight after a bath??! !
now you have me wondering what on earth you're doing in the bath to need a shower...
i've always thought of myself as being fairly civilised by the way...
You've said a bit of what I was thinking. I DO rinse after my bath, but I've always thought of myself as being a little silly for it. And I pre-wash the dirtiest parts before running the bath water. I've seen how much soap there is in the tub after I rinse out my shampoo and I don't want it on my skin, but I've never assumed that EVERYONE had to be the same way. My kids don't double or triple bath and I really don't think they need to; their bath water never looks that dirty or sudsy, not like mine does.
Um, so to me this one really is a matter of personal preference.
Washing hands after peeing, however, is NOT optional, and I would NOT want to drink from a cup that had not been rinsed.
I don't usually drink from other people's stomachs so if they didn't double rinse really isn't an issue to me

It figures. When we English wash up, we mean dishes. Americans mean washing their hands don't they?

No, not hands, but body in general and anything to do with the body. Its not a phrase that is commonly used at all though.
