    I usually have hand sanitizer, simply because I handle money and money is so dirty...so, I will sanitize my hands, then eat. :D

    I'll wash my hands after preparing what I'm having for a meal, if they're pretty dirty or if I've been out. But I don't really think "Oh I'm about to eat, might as well go wash my hands." That seems like a nuisance. x_x

    Called to the table for dinner then I'll wash my hands on the way there. Unless I just washed them...say...maybe ten minutes prior? If going out for dinner, I'll wash my hands before I head out.

    Only if I'm not sure they're clean ;D

    I have a similar problem to someone else in the thread, but mostly just if I leave moisture on my hands. I get a weird form of eczema called pompholyx so I have to make sure my hands are completely dry every time I wash them. It's often easier not to =x

    Well, it depends. If I'm having a snack of some sort, then I only wash my hand beforehand if they are a little dirty. But before lunch and dinner, I'll always wash my hand.
    But after eating, I'll always wash my hand, whether it was a snack or lunch/dinner.
    I prefer to not touch food with my hand anyways, but sometimes it's unavoidable.

    I only wash my hands if I'm eating something that I actually need to touch with my hands. If I'm using a fork or spoon, I usually don't bother with that (unless they're really filthy), since only the metal touches the plate XD;

    Not unless I've dirtied my hands completely first, no. (i.e., if I have to handle any bodily functions from me or otherwise).​

    Um, no XD Only if I know they're dirty, but then, I would wash them straight away rather than just before I eat.

    Depends where my hands have been. If they're dirty, then I will. If not, then I don't see the need too. Especially when I'll be using a knife and fork anyway.
