Seen today in the office shared men's room (where an alarmingly high percentage of my posts seem to play out):Our IT-guy, true to form of all IT people I have ever known, is a little greasy, has a vague hint of BO and laughs at all the wrong things but is, when all is said and done, a nice harmless guy who mostly manages to stay away from the insanity on the sales and marketing front. As I was walking into the men's room to ease my bladder (without farting) I see the IT guy washing his hands very carefully and thoroughly by the sink, and after drying his hands in the horribly inefficient blow-dryer he turns around and walks decisively into one of the toilet booths…
The question that comes into my mind is how dirty must you be if you feel the need to wash your hands before you go take a dump?

Hmm, as one of those greasy IT people (wanna sniff my armpit?), I'd say it isn't unusual to want to wash your hands before putting them into contact with sensitive body parts if you've e.g. just spent some time poking around in the case of a PC used by a sales / marketing person, as the amount of crud (dust, hair, crumbs, unidentified sticky liquid residue etc. etc.) that they manage to get in there has to seen to be believed.
Also he will definitely want to wash his hands if he has been using their keyboards.
Why did I have the feeling that you would respond to this...? Well, at least you had no complaints about that "laughing at all the wrong things".
And yes, unfortunately you are probably right, he probably just had been up to his elbows in some computer parts which he wanted to clean up.
Take a look in my computer underneath the keyboard and I think you will find an assortment of hair, nails, skin flakes, cracker bits, melted chocolate, rice, coffee and maybe even some fecal matter if you're real lucky!

Heh, I used to hear people say a lot that you should probably wash before an after, since you don't want any diseases on your personal parts. He might have just taken it to heart.
But I know I've also been in situation when dealing with dust or grime that I was totally grossed out and the first order of business was to wash as thoroughly as possible.
And yes, I'm an IT guy. ;)
Geeks do have an odd sense of humor, I admit... But at least it's there. :)
...and all of that doesn't explain the Coke bottle. At all.
