What the Hell Is Wrong With..(Warning Gross)

Many public restrooms no longer have paper towels to do this with, only having the automatic hand-driers.

Yeah and I hate that....I'd rather have paper towels

[Jay 2K Winger]

use a towel you heathen.

Here is one little design flaw I see in every single restroom in the western world, food-handling locations included: The door opens inwards, and only inwards.

This means no matter how many times you wash your hands afterwards, you get to grab the handle used by the people who did not do the same, and negate the very act of washing your hands in the first place, and with someone else's germs.

As for the OTHER messes they leave. Stock up on bleach. One capful per gallon of water, and a capful of brain bleach every time you need the first capful to deal with that kind of mess.

What? I love butts! Cute, little, flat, cup 'em in my hand butts. God, my bf has a cute butt. Now those shelf butts....the ones that would be useful for waitresses to carry extra plates on....I think those are gross.

I completely agree, butts are gross.

Nah...everyone else's butts but mine are gross. I know where mine's been and what it does. I don't know about everyone else, though.

Antibacterial, flushable toilet wipes. I never go to work/the pub without a packet of them. Wipe, drop in the loo, flush if necessary, then use the loo.

And I use the little bottle of antibacterial gel after I've left the loo to stump the sods that don't wash their hands.

My after-school job as a cleaner at the school included a loo. It's made me just a teensy bit paranoid.

Can we all agree that butts are gross?

Come on guys.

I had a customer hovering in the bathrooms at work one day mention she'd wet herself... I figured out literally two years later that she was hovering over the toilet, not actually SITTING. I go out of my way to find a stall that's got not a drop of urine on it, or anything solid floating in it. Which, considering we have 10 or so stalls, that's a lot that can be passed over... And only 5 actually have a light over them, so I prefer them to be able to optimally SEE what's on the seat or NOT on the seat.

Really? If you insist on hovering, is it SO hard to lift the seat and spare us all that disgusting mess...?

heres another thing the heat created by butt to seat contact actually causes germs to die the seat with more direct contact = clean.

I'm going to weigh in on the "incubator" side of the debate.

And just to clarify: I only hover if the seat has feces or blood or (at work) water splashed up from when the toilet flushed (there's a big difference) and there's no convenient other stall to use. And I'm good about wiping the seat off and the floor (that only only happens if I'm sitting though).

Actually, I tend to disagree. During ServSafe training, we were told that temperatures from about 75 degrees Fahrenheit to around 125 degrees Fahrenheit were optimal breeding temps for bacteria. So unless that butt is 145 degrees (165 for raw product, 180 for poultry) Fahrenheit, there's going to be lots of germs.

Sorry if this seems rude, but that's what I learned.

So in other words, if you sit on it with a newspaper for an hour, that seat should be clean enough to eat off of.

Enjoy the thought kids.

I don't hover. I wouldn't be able to get my bladder muscles to let go if I did! And if there's ANYTHING after, I clean it up. I don't understand why people are disgusting enough to not clean up after themselves. It's freaking gross.
