Why do some people hate to wash their hands? I mean seriously, what's the big deal?

I had a dental appointment the other day, and I was not in the best of moods. He (now my ex-dentist) kind of annoys me to begin with. He's polite and all, but I find some of his habits and nonsense small talk really annoying. He just talks to talk. I don't think it's just me and my anal ways, I don't really care on this one if it is just me.

So, I'm having my teeth cleaned by the best dental hygienist and he pops in at the tail end of the cleaning to check her work. At least I think that was his intention. I could see him finishing up in the room across the hall, not sporting any gloves. I watch him finish up, shake the patient's hand and walk straight into my room.  He says a sporty hello as he plops onto his stool and slides on over to me. He offers me a soft (gross) handshake and says, "Open up, let's take a looksey."  I lift my head up so that he doesn't cram his ungloved hands into my mouth and ask him to please wash and glove his hands.  He's facial expression tells me he's floored. Instead, he slathers on a generous amount of Purell, looks at my x-rays, and asks when I want to get a few fillings replaced for cosmetic purposes only. That's it.  He gets up and walks into the next room and bills me for a consult.

You get my point.
