Shotgun 1 #51 January 11, 2005 Wow, I don't think it's ever once even crossed my mind to use my FOOT to flush a toilet... and yet somehow I am still alive and healthy. (Now, maybe if I had to use that toilet from "Trainspotting" , god forbid...) Oh, and I do kiss my cat as well... and judging from where his mouth has been - it's probably a far worse thing to do than using my hand to flush a public toilet.

swedishcelt 0 #53 January 11, 2005 I'm an English teacher. Every paper I correct has got to be disgusting. Think of 200+ students either peeing, sneezing, or picking their noses minutes before they touch their homework assignments and then eventually hand them into me. Teacher's have fortress strength immune systems! I use my foot, yes, but wth is the use. I should buy stock in antibacterial soap and hand sanitizer.

tigra 0 #54 January 11, 2005 If a public bathroom is sooooo nasty that I'm afraid to touch the handle, I sure as hell am not going to use it! Some gas station bathrooms are so gross that peeing in an alley is preferable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think its okay as long as she has paper towels, tp, somethin' for wiping purposes. The only thing that sucks about the squat pee, is making sure you don't pee on your shoes (i.e. pee downhill) and having to hold your pants and underwear out of the line of fire while balancing the squat so as not fall down in your own pee stream.

Using that stuff too much actually causes problems. Just ask doctors. Its a medical industry issue.

efs4ever 3 #62 April 30, 2006 Hand, and then I wash it. If no washing materials, then I don't flush. Not too offensive, since I avoid numba two in public facilities. (Not counting MY dz) THEY always have proper hand washing materials. ________Russell M.

Ragnarok 0 #63 April 30, 2006 I have a germ phobia. I try not to even touch the doorhandle in a public place, let alone the toilet handle. I use my foot ALL the time, unless I am in my own home. I wash my hands and if there are no paper towels, I wipe then on my pants - or grab some TP in a pinch. At the DZ, I use alcohol hand sanatiser.............._________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icon134 0 #64 April 30, 2006 personally I like to ensure a steady influx of germs to maintain/bolster my immune system... But if I can reach the handle with my foot then I use my foot... and I always avoid touching the door handles if possible... even if that means using my t-shirt to grab the handle...
