Washing your hands before packaging a parcel?

Am I the only one who washes my hands with soap before packaging a ebay parcel.

I know It sounds bizarre but does anyone else do this?

    :rotfl: Sorry, your post made me smile.

    Depends what iv'e been doing before hand I guess. i.e out in the garden weeding or some other activity that would make my hands filthy. As a general rule though.....no.

    No. But most of my parcels have been oily car parts.

    Dunno, is anyone else stood next to you at the time? Have you noticed an extra pair of hands scrubbing your nails whilst you wash your palms? :D:p

    j/k I do sometimes. It just depends on what I'm packing and how clean my hands are at the time.

    Is there a disease you can catch from dirty parcels? Guess it's advisable if you are sending packages from a Bernard Matthews farm.
