Go for it. See if your action pulls us towards collective action. Do you chastise every person you see breaking this social norm?

Do you chastise every person you see breaking this social norm?

It's not a "social norm." It's a public health issue.

When I see a little kid in a public bathroom go straight from stall to door without looking at the sink, I'll shout at them.

100% of the time they turn around and do the right thing.

I hope you do the same to the adults, cause there's no shortage of adult (men) that do the exact same. It's honestly distressing.

If I see anyone even trying to go for the bathroom door without washing their hands I'll definitely be shouting at them until they wash their hands and follow them (at a sanitary distance) in order to ruin their day and make sure everyone they come in contact with knows they've got significant amounts of fecal matter on their hands.

I wish I was only joking.
