Lot of vaginas up in this thread. Oh noes I got germs on my hand from flushing the toilet nevermind that it was a couple sheets from my asshole mere seconds ago. THE HORROR!

Yeah, the only way I'll ever flush with my foot is if there's visible gunk on the handle. Usually in that case though, I just won't flush it. I can always wash my hands after, but no point in touching something nasty.

Always with the foot in a public bathroom. I use an ass-gasket when available if I'm taking a dump, TP is a workable secondary option.

My workplace has automatic flushers.

I don't sit on public toilets.

Little known fact: toilet seats are frequently cleaner than sinks in public restrooms. Our ass cheeks actually aren't very germ-ridden.

On the other hand, the floors of public restrooms are awful - further evidence that flushing with your foot isn't a good idea for users of the restroom as a whole.

(I think there was a Mythbusters episode about this a while back, but here's an article that gets to some of the points.

Then my OCD's arn't that outrageous after all :clap:

While working as a computer tech, I saw many a nasty keyboard. One older lady I worked on frequently would sit at her desk and eat Cheez-its all day. Her keyboard was packed full of crumbs, disgusting. I got to the point I'd put on latex gloves before I worked on her computer thinking she'd get the hint. Nope, she didn't.

My tool kit now includes a box of gloves incase I come across the foulest of the foul.

Foot. No such thing as a clean restroom. And while I'm strongly against the pussification of the american male, I feel that being sanitary is not a factor in the epidemic.

always with the foot


If they have the motion on/off sinks and dryers i don't have to touch anything in the bathroom, except for myself.

Your kitchen sponge is worse than any restroom, as far as bacteria.

Bacteria is on every surface in the world. Other people's piss isnt.

Fresh urine isn't loaded with bacteria.

Hand. Less effort.

Yep. Urine is "icky," but largely harmless.
