touch the door handle,
touch the dirty handle,
touch the tap,
wash hands,
touch the tap,
dry hands,
touch the door handle.

ew.
this is why i use the hand sanitiser i keep in my purse, after i leave the restroom.

I dry my hands with a few paper towels. After that, I turn off the tap with the paper towels in my hand, preventing direct contact with the tap. After that, I fling the door open with the same paper-towel-holding hand and with an elegant follow-through, toss the paper towels in the trash as I proceed through the open door.

(And before anyone asks, I don't care to use hand dryers. Prefer paper towels. The forestry industry needs the business.)

And what do you do at, say, Target, where they have no paper towels -- only air blowers? :eek::biggrin1:

I thought everyone did like me and used the bottom of their foot to flush with the handle. :confused:

The only thing I don't like about an automated flush is that if it happens to go off because you drop something or are reaching for toilet paper the flush sends airborn ichies into the air all over your bum.

Welcome to LPSG!

Can you override it to NOT flush until you flush it manually?

Class 5 toilets sound interesting, although it's ironic to now have a bladder in the toilet tank... (air bladder) (Forgive the word play. My bad)

Thank you for the welcome.

I haven't seen one yet with a disengagement override that the user can easily access. It's not that hard to do, but not many people (besides myself) walk around with an allen wrench (the 6-sides thingies).

But you do raise a legit issue. The power-flush toilets actually kick up a fine mist of the toilet water in the air, easily over 6 feet in height and all around. You can't see the tiny water particles, but if you hold a cold mirror over the toilet, you can see droplets form after a few flushes.

There was a recent study that found fecal matter on most people's toothbrushes, due to their toilets' flushing in close proximity. Thus, I always close the lid of my toilet when I flush. That and fear of my 3 year old flushing my car keys down the toilet.

:wink: I feel that fellah.

This is completely true.

Why don't women shut the lid afterwards? (maybe they all do (!!!) & that explains the length of some toilet breaks - but I've never noticed).

Even walking into a toilet is like walking into a mist of other people's reprocessed dinner.

Then again, each & every bacterium, & lifeform, from cats, through to unknown quantum entities, are perpetually defecating, so why be so anally obsessed about it anyway.

Exposure to small amounts of shitty bacteria enhance your immune system.

However, if an alien came to this planet, apparently, she would advise you to " wash your hands in the toilet, & crap in the sink".
