Do you wash your hands before eating?

Washing hands before eating

I usually have hand sanitizer, simply because I handle money and money is so dirty...so, I will sanitize my hands, then eat. :D
 
Pretty much not, but on the rare occasion that I get my hands dirty, I do wash them beforehand. :P
 
I do if my hands are dirty or there is a tap around at the time to actually allow me to wash my hands.
 
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
 
I only wash my hands before I eat if they're dirty.
 
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.
