# One can answer amen, kaddish, kedusha and barchu. <Ref> Tehilat LeDavid 181:2 says not to answer just like one juxtaposes Geula to Tefilah. However the Halacha Brurah 181:5 disagrees based on a Sfek Sfaka that maybe one can go like those who allow speech between mayim achronim and [[Birkat HaMazon]] and maybe one can go like those who say that one can answer devarim shbekedusha between Geula and Tefilah. Additionally it’s a mitzvah that’s fleeting. </ref>

# Preferably, one shouldn’t wait or do actions unrelated to Brikat HaMazon more than 12 seconds; those who wait for everyone to wash their hands have what to rely on. <Ref> Bach 179, Pri Megadim 179;A”A 1, Mishna Brurah 179:1 in name of the derech hachaim that one should rewash, taz 181:3 says one can wait for 4 people to wash hands after you, so says the lavush 181:6, Olat tamid 181:4, magan Avraham 181:5, shulchan aruch harav 181:5 Mishna brurah 181:15, kaf hachaim 181:18, peulat tzaddik 3:71, yabea omer Y”D 2:1(11). The stringency of unrelated actions is sourced in the ritva hilchot brachot 3:17,6:21 and brought simlairly by kesef Mishna Brachot 6:20. </ref>

# In our time that everyone reads Birkat HaMazon one should try to have multiple vessels so everyone doesn’t have to wait long until Birkat HaMazon. <Ref> Biur Halacha D”H Min Hakatan. However, in earlier times, only one would say Birkat HaMazon. Accordingly, S”A 181:6 rules the one doing the [[Birkat HaMazon]] should be the first to wash but if there’s more than 5 people washing, then they begin washing from the least important person until there’s 5 people left and then the one doing [[Birkat HaMazon]] washes. </ref>
