====== Hand Washing Wank ======

{{ :pigpen_from_peanuts.png?300|Pigpen, from the Peanuts comics}}August 14, 2013: In the "Venting Thread," [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/64090.html?thread=300682586#t300682586|a nonny complained]] about gross in-laws who didn't wash their hands after using the toilet. It wasn't half a dozen comments before another nonny asked,

//"Wait, what's ew about that? That people didn't use the soap? Some people don't use soap every time they wash their hands. Doesn't seem like a big deal to me."//

This kicked off a massive, falling-off-the-right-margin-of-the-page flamewar about whether it's OK to just rinse with water (vs. wash with soap) after you pee, with side forays into antibacterial soap, allusions to [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/64090.html?thread=300916314#t300916314|Captain Trips]], [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/64090.html?thread=300722778#t300722778|the question //"Are you really that diseased?"//]], accusations of [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/64090.html?thread=300777050#t300777050|hypochondria]], claims that [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/64090.html?thread=300762970#t300762970|the drying effects of soap outweigh its cleansing effects in terms of infection risk]], accusations that [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/64090.html?thread=300811610#t300811610|//"always-soaping nonnies"//]] are polluting the waterways with phosphate, the epithet [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/64090.html?thread=301136986#t301136986|//"pro-soapers"//]] to refer to nonnies who have a clue about hygiene, [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/64090.html?thread=301181530#t301181530|the distinction between strawmen and hyperbole]], [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/64090.html?thread=300902746#t300902746|a nonny involved in public health campaigns]] who had never before //"heard of the idea that soap is somehow so caustic it will cause your skin to fall off,"// a nonny who [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/64090.html?thread=300890202#t300890202|actually claimed]] that showering without soap kept them non-smelly all day, and [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/64090.html?thread=301075546#t301075546|//"We're about two hours away from someone claiming soap causes autism."//]]

Possibly the funniest comment:

//"[[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/64090.html?thread=301192794#t301192794|Soap is for wussies, anyways.]] You guys should be washing your hands in the liquified remains of your enemies while their screams are still echoing."//

//"The germs will know fear, this night."//
