I knew I could count on this group for an interesting discussion. Well, I'm pretty much over it. Our bathroom is back in operation again and here, I have been such a tyrant about it that whoever was "guilty" is too afraid not to flush. I guess I just don't understand why you wouldn't take a couple of extra seconds to leave the room as clean as when you entered it. On the flushing first thing, these are women who ALWAYS flush as soon as they enter the stall. I wonder if it's a cultural thing? We used to have a couple of women who would actually stand on the toilet seat. A little disconcerting to walk in there and find footprints on the seat. |
I must say that I've never found footprints there - yet.:D I have to keep my paper towel to turn on the sink (no automatic sinks yet) and get the soap to wash my hands. After I dry my hands, I use the paper towel to open the door.:D Germaphobe!:D |
Sorry, but ladies rooms are always nasty! Most girls I know are quick to say they are gross, but if most girls feel this way then why oh why are the restrooms soooo disgusting? My restroom at work is always so gross! I wonder who can do that on a daily basis, especially when there are really only about 50 of us who use it. I know them all mostly and I hate to think that any one of them could do the things I see in there. |
on the flushing first thing as a cultural thing...I never thought of that...maybe...but what culture I wonder?? Interesting. I don't think taking extra precautions these days (with all the super bugs out there) one can be called a germophobe. I always use the grocery store's sanitizing wipes on the basket...use the toe of my shoe to flush...use the paper towel to open the bathroom door (ever notice the ones who come out of a stall and don't wash their hands, then open the door...definitely don't want to be touching that doorknob after them!!! lol) I've noticed I haven't been sick in over a year too since I started always using those precautions. But ever since my previous post I can't stop thinking about the hacking on the sidewalk...now that's my pet peeve...when I see someone do that I just want to grab their collars and ask them if they realize people walk there, their strollers go there and then they pick up your snot on their shoes, stroller wheels, etc and carry it into their cars/homes/etc. To me, the hackers are the lowest of the low, absolute trash without a sliver of couth. But I can't as I'm too busy gagging! |

So when I went to Boston this past year and was walking around I was appalled at how disgusting all the streets and sidewalks were. I felt so bad for my furkids having to walk on that and really wished I had bought them shoes. First thing I did when I got back to the hotel was wash their feet really good. |
i use my foot to flush the public toilets. much cleaner than my hands and i think it's gross to leave things to linger EWWWWW |
One things certain..........whoever has the unsavory job of cleaning public toilets, aren't being paid enough!!! |

Oh, but the germs do stay even if you wipe :( unless you use one of those "kills 99% of germs" wipes. But if you use regular wipes, when you pull your panties up...up comes whatever was on the seat :eek:! And what if it can crawl up? I have a problem with micro-organisms, so I don't trust. I don't seat, but I aim well (lots of practice and good exercise for the buttocks and legs :p) and if I have an accident and sprinkle outside, I wipe. I never touch the lever, I flush with my foot, I figure it's good exercise anyway ;) And after I wash my hands with water on the hotter side for at least 20 seconds, I bring the tissue I use to dry my hands to open the bathroom door, if the garbage can is close, I throw it, if not I take it with me and dispose of it somewhere else. Women's public bathrooms are disgusting and I turn into some sort of gymnast when I have to go in there...you'd laugh if you saw all I do :D |
Oh, and on the flushing before going...I feel so guilty about that, but I do it too :( It's a trauma, I think, from childhood :p I saw a movie where a mouse came up from the toilet and my uncle said that "yeah, it could happen, they're great swimmers." Ever since then I have this thing where I have to make sure nothing's going to come up and bite me :cool: |

It is the same where I work. Most dont bother to flush the toilet and there is loads of times I have walked into a cubicle to find a number 2 still sitting in the toilet. YUK. Once I walked in and there was vomit in the sink! If I felt I was going to be sick I would go into the toilet cubicle not the sink, but if for some reason you HAD to vomit in the sink you would make sure you cleaned it up! But no they are disgusting and leave it for the poor cleaner to do. When I was coming back from Zante in Greece a couple of years ago I used the ladies toilets in the airport. There was about 15-20 cubicles in there because they bathroom was HUGE. I am not telling a lie when I say every single cubicle apart from one had poop EVERYWHERE. I have no idea what people were doing in there! Im talking inside the toilet, all over the seat and some even on the floor!! there was toilet paper all over the place and even a couple of the toilet seats had been ripped off. In the end I didnt even use the clean toilet I felt so ill at looking at all of that mess. I have no idea what happend in there.... It scares me to even think about it!!! |
I wouldn't classify myself as a germaphobe but I also use a paper towel to open the door. If I forget and throw it away, I'll use my pinky to pull the door open then I'll wipe my pinky on my pants lol. One more thing I don't touch: escalator handrails. After hearing my mom say it enough, I don't touch them. |
