Alright, this is a weird addition, but it's something that I've thought every time I go to the bathroom. (See how odd this already sounds??)

In America, after using the urinals, guys will wash their hands and leave. No wait- let me clarify. Guys will sometimes wash their hands before they leave. That's right ladies- if you see a guy come out of the bathroom and he's hanging out with you afterwards, there's a very good possibility that he hasn't washed his hands. (Disgusting.) To make sure, look at the back of their hands. Why? Because most guys who wash their hands will dry their palms because that's what you use most. The back isn't as important, and in high probability (of course I can't speak for every guy), there will be a bit of water/moisture on it. PLUS, if you only see the palm moist, that's a problem. He's umm... splashed a bit on himself. (I know I know this is nasty... there's an interesting cultural phenomenon coming up, I swear.)

In India however, in the last 5 months I've been here, there's been ZERO cases of that. Every single person washes their hands afterwards. Before eating. After eating. For a country that you see on TV as being dirty, blah blah blah, the people in India are frikkin anal (maybe that sounds a bit weird..) about being clean. You look on the street and (aside from drivers), everyone's got some ironed button down shirt on, etc. Craziness.

Alright I'm done. So yeah, if you notice some dude get out of the bathroom WAYYYY too quickly around there, send him back. Better yet, just walk away. Better even STILL, totally stop talking to him. Muhuhuahahahaha....
