NEW YORK, NY - Users of the 7th floor men's lavatory at 435 Hudson Street stared in stunned disbelief as they came to the realization that that one guy really does wash his face every time he goes to the bathroom, sources told All Too Factual today.

"At first I'd notice that he did it after coming out of a stall," said information technology manager Kevin Ho, 42, who helped determine the frequency of the face-washing. "I figured that maybe he just came from the gym or something, used the stall to get changed, and splashed some water on his face just to freshen up. But after I saw him flush the urinal and then stick his face in the sink not once but twice on the same day, I realized what he was up to--or more accurately, how often he was up to it."

Ho and his fellow bathroom-goers are baffled as to the reason why the unidentified man, thought to be in his mid-20s, sees face-washing as a required post-excretion/micturition activity. Theories range from obssessive-compulsive disorder to a mysterious skin condition to cleaning up after "extraordinarily bad aim."

"The thing is, he doesn't really use soap," Ho added while fumbling for the bathroom key. "So for all his hygeine fixation, he might well be lobbing moistened shit crumbs at his own face. I don't get it."
