Nah, I wait until home to drop the deuce. Unless it's an emergency, then the intestinal pressure overtakes my OCD's and I drop trough with no regrets.

I hate those bathrooms.

Also bathrooms without trashcans near the door find my used towel on the floor then.

Left pinky finger as a last resort. I got in the habit of not touching public things with my Copenhagen fingers on the right hand.

I'm far from a germaphobe, it just turned into a habit after leaving bar shitters and seeing people not wash their hands.

And why I use my foot....there should be a pool for this...

Think about it - every time you smell someone's fart, a substance that mere seconds ago was in someone's lower intestinal tract is now happily inhabiting your lungs.

Yes, I know. And I breathe in worse at work. I have my way, you have yours.

Too bad that "your way" is responsible for 90% of the filth that gets transferred from person to person in a restroom. Shoes are nasty.

I suppose that in a way I just justified your reasoning. Oh well.

I do have a alcohol hand sanitizer pump in the door to my delivery vehicle. I've been delivering meds for a pharmacy lately and come in contact with some of the nastiest people I've ever seen. 50% of my contacts are medicaid recipients and many keep deplorable living conditions. Plus with the sick, infected and contagious my job is a regular petri dish.

If its a place I got shitty service, I flush flush flush flush until it overflows and floods the bathroom.

Who gives a shit about the next guy.

I always use the foot method.The less stuff I have to touch with my hands in a public RR the better.

Yep. And I'll still use my foot every single time to flush.

I may take one deuce a year at public restrooms, but I still cover the seat if I absolutely have to take it in a public place.

Yeah, so are random people's asses and hands.

Public shitter gets the foot flush, I don’t care how clean it looks.

rageeumr · 03-23-2012, 01:06 PM

Wow, I am in the overwhelming minority. Unless there's like visible poop on the handle, I'm going to use my hand. I'm going to wash them in 5 seconds, what's the difference? Say you're in a gas station, the push bar to get out of the store (not the bathroom) is probably dirtier than the flush handle....
