That cant be right, I hope thats not right

From what I've seen, that's optimistic unfortunately. But it seems to be dependent on the region / country.

By my anecdotal experience, seems to me men in poorer countries wash their hands way more than those in wealthier countries too.

Anecdotal experience here as well, but in the US with public restrooms, the men's room is generally much cleaner looking than the women's room. I'm not going to say that is the actual case. It probably isn't. I will say that every guy in the US seems to act as though the guy that went in before him used his dick like a firehose to strategically cover every single surface in that room with urine. Damn near nothing gets touched, and I could clean a men's room in less than 10 minutes no matter what happened in there, unless it got utterly destroyed with puke or other biohazards.

The women's room routinely looks like an exorcism just happened in there. I don't know what's going on in there, but there's toilet paper covering EVERY SINGLE surface of that room, there's mysterious multicolored liquids on the floor. There's occasionally what appears to be an extremely bloody mouse. It's not a mouse.

The long and short of this is that in my experience a public restroom is the IRL version of Minesweeper. Good luck out there.
