How to Wash Your Hands in Qatar

I had just moments in the Ladie’s room in Qatar, just moments to whip out the camera and photograph this incredibly bureaucratic approach to hygiene and cleanliness.

How many steps to wash your hands??? And who (besides me) is really going to read these instructions in such detail? I am lucky to remember to wash my hands long enough to sing “Happy Birthday to You” two times using hot water and soap!

  2. LLLOOOLL, Daddy’s Girl, I am guessing a very conscientious bureaucrat got an “A” on that assignment. 🙂

  4. LLLLOOOLLLL! Purg, statistically, women wash more than men do. And, statistically, the bottoms of our handbags are bacteriological disasters. 😦

  5. This would entail missing your flight or being late for a meeting etc…
    easy solution…use a hand sanitizer
