Small things in life that gravel your ass

If I miss, that's the fault of the place I'm in for making such dumb arrangements in their restroom.

Being an irrational germaphobe doesn't justify littering. Don't be a douche.

If that's what you want to call it then I'll be a douche. I just know a surprisingly large number of people don't wash their hands when they get done pissing or shitting and if I can help it, I don't want to touch the same surfaces they're touching.

I am not a complete germaphobe but ditto that.

I always use a paper towel to open a bathroom door on the way out, or if there are no towels, the side of my shirt.
Just one of those things.

I actually agree with your basic premise. I never touch bathroom doors without a paper towel; but I will contort my body in any way to make sure the balled up towel lands where it should because I'm generally pretty neat and try to be considerate of service workers.

To Fish's point, you have to realize that you're really not saving yourself from a damn thing. Those people that don't wash their hands (which is probably as high as 50% or more) are going right out into that public place you're at and touching the menus, table tops, counter tops, door handles, etc. that hardly get washed.
