When you flush the urinal, which flushing is audible from the hallway, and then immediately appear in said hallway, it's obvious that you did not wash your hands.
Yes, it's that time of year again! Time to wake you from your slumber. Please be so kind as to actually start when it's asked of you - you've had all winter off and now it's time to get to work. I understand that you're crabby, but so it the lawn - let's get together and get to work!
washing your hands after urinating doesn't make much sense. As mentioned in the "special person addressing the graduating class" opening joke*, as long as you don't pee on your hands, you don't really need to wash them. And you shouldn't be peeing on your hands.
Sincerely,

* I am not joking. That was really the opening to my graduating classes "congrats on earning your undergrad degree" - it was very weird.
Re: people not washing hands after urinal usage...
Trace amounts of urine on the hands is the least of my concerns when it comes to people touching their junk and not washing up afterward.
Especially when it comes to infrequently-bathing hippies.
Dear girl in my Bio Class -
You have three options: 1. Learn to control your high. 2. Stop coming to class stoned as shit. 3. Just drop the fucking class already. No way in hell you're passing anyhow.
Signed,
The 15 people in there that actually give a shit.
Even people with vaginas are unlikely to get urine on their hands while peeing and wiping. Still, I see my trips to the bathroom as an excellent opportunity to prevent the spread of common viral infections in my community, by washing my hands well, with soap, whenever I visit.
Therapy really only works if you show up. I do not have any sort of telekinetic or telepathic superpowers that allow me to your access your mind from afar, and fix your problems without your input. So you need to actually physically come to your scheduled appointments.
And if you can't actually physically come to your scheduled appointments, it would be nice if you called to tell me so. One, because I worry, because many of you are having large problems in your life that have driven you into therapy in the first place, and two, because I am not getting paid to be here and if you don't show up, I can't count that hour toward my required hours necessary to get my license, and as I'm rather tired of being an unlicensed volunteer, I would like to get those hours accumulated as quickly as possible, and waiting around for clients does not let me accomplish that goal.
So: You show up. If you are not going to show up, don't make me show up to wait around for your non-showing-up self.
Thank you for your kind attention to this matter,

Please stop being crazy. Money is not this important. Your whiny daughter's expectations of a big, over-the-top, way-beyond-your-means wedding is not a reason to be a dick to your sisters and your mother. Also, your wife is a hypochondriac, entitled downer.
Please stop walking so loud before 8 am. There is no reason to stomp, really.
Alternatively, lose weight.
Or get carpeting.
Or move.
Or wake up later.
Or get those slippers that have mops strings on the bottoms so you like glide around polishing your floor instead of clomping.
