I usually hover and try to avoid sitting on a public toilet seat.
My sister does that thing with the paper towel to open the bathroom doors. The thing is not everyone washes their hands after you know, so it winds up on the door handles and the faucet. I don't want to be any more graphic than that, but I think you get the picture.

I hover! I also open the bathroom door with a paper towel when I leave because people don't wash their hands. I flush with my foot too! It is really not as strange as you think. Almost everyone I know does it.

I know people who go through the hassle of doing the toiletpaper on the bowl thing and flush with their feet. I figure if it's that gross i'll just hover.
I'd flush with my feet but I'm afraid my foot would slip and end up in the toilet and then i'd be totally disgusted!

* This is totally off subject but sorta related...
Once I was at work and I had just flushed but when I leaned over somehow my beautiful aquamarine pendant Will bought me fell into the toilet. I was so disgusted yet I wasn't going to flush it! I found some rubber gloves and reached in for it. Luckily we have a heated amonia cleaner so I doused it in there for an hour! I'm still paranoid that something might fall off into the toilet!

EWWW! Hootie, lightning doesn't strike twice so I wouldn't worry about something like that happening again.

LOL, have you seen the commercial(it was out before xmas) where the man and woman are in the bathroom getting ready and she drops her earring in the toilet? and the man just reaches in and gets it for her then goes back to gettting ready while she just looks at him? I think the commercial is for an electric razor, it says something like 'doesnt your man deserve a .....'. something like that.

In the mens room if I absolutely have to sit down I layer the seat with tp so there IS a barrier.

I don't know about other females, the only reason why I would stay in a restroom longer than 10 minutes is to take a dump.

BTW I never sit on public toilets to piss, I stand up, face the toilet, aim, and wiz like a guy! Sometimes I hit the wall, though.

Miami1839 · #9 01-07-2002, 07:57 AM

I only sit down unless I have to do #2 and I very rarely if ever use the public restrooms. Its usually for #1 where I stand up.

Public restrooms are quite scary... so I don't spend more time than necessary in them. I have a friend that is so grossed out by the faucets and stuff that she refuses to wash her hands!

So she's one of those people that leaves without ever washing her hands...

AlphaSigLana · #11 01-07-2002, 12:21 PM

WEll I know that I go to the bathroom at parties with my sister or sisters bc half the time the bathroom door is broke. SO you bring you sister so she can hold the door closed. Then you gossip about the people at hte party.

juniorgrrl · #12 01-07-2002, 03:02 PM

I'm one of those people with a do-not-touch ritual. I hover, I don't touch the faucets or the door.

I want to know why stall doors are made to open inward. It would make much more sense if the doors swung outward. Also, I HATE it when the doors have a "push" to get in but a "pull" handle to get out. I'd much rather have the "push" to get out so I wouldn't have to to through the paper towel ritual with the door. You could just put your body weight against the door and not subject any exposed skin to all the nasty

valkyrie · #13 01-07-2002, 03:19 PM

Well, the problem with doors opening outward would be that anyone walking by as you open the door would get whapped in the face. I agree that doors opening inward are annoying, though, especially when the stall is so tiny that you practically have to climb on top of the toilet to get the door open.

I would never, ever touch a public toilet. It's either hovering or a layer of TP for me, and definitely foot flushing. I even usually tear off and throw out the outer layer of TP because you really don't know who or what has touched it.

I couldn't imagine not washing my hands. The thing I hate the most -- those hot air hand dryers. First of all, they don't work. Second, I read somewhere that using them results in more germs on your hands than if you didn't wash at all. That means I either use TP or my pants (unpleasant either way, but better than creepy germs).

But one thing that commercial doesn't have in common with our public WC problems...it was at home!

I don't know about y'all, but the WC in my bathroom is sparkly fresh! With a bleach tablet in the tank and weekly (or near-weekly...we all get busy) scrubbings! Takes 2 minutes (squeeze the goo in before you take a shower, and after you dry off and lotion, brush it out) and makes a world of difference. Very helpful for klutzes like myself who have, on occasion, dropped something in there. Oops...

(Perhaps this is TMI, but someone might get a chuckle out of it...the fastidious WC cleanings stem from an incident involving said WC and a certain GCer's retainer in 8th grade...

)
LOL
