public toilet hygiene (12 Viewers)

[tommydazzle]

Annoys me when blokes don't wash their hands after peeing or even worse after shitting. I'm always concerned about touching the door handle to leave the public toilet. The other day I had to use the toilets in a department store (sign of getting old) before making my way to the cafeteria for a coffee and a cheese scone. This grimy looking bloke came out of the cubicle and didn't wash his hands. Luckily I didn't have to wait too long before somebody came in and I could exit without touching the handle - just didn't fancy fecal matter on my cheese scone or some wart-encrusted penis juice as a garnish. My brother got food poisoning years ago and it nearly killed him and the culprit was bacteria from the human gut so it's not an issue I take lightly these days. Not sure if this is the start of some OCD behaviour.

Anyway, enjoy your lunch.

Whoops wrong thread - should be in the things that annoy you......

Ha!!

Same here.

You watch people go to the toilet at the Ricoh (not literally).

My guess is about 25% washing their hands. The rest, not.

I always pull my sleeve down and use that to open doors. Also always carry antibacterial gel with me.

I too have had such poisoning before and it's not at all nice.

My very first job on leaving school was working in labs and we got into the habit of washing hands before and after peeing. The gel thing might be an idea, I wouldn't want my sleeve absorbing all those pathogens and still being close to my hand!

Just take a bit of bog roll / hand towel to use on the door handle.

Or, open the door with your hands and then apply the gel.

Save time washing your hands when going for a piss, wash you crock in the morning before leaving the house.

Joking aside though, in public toilets the hands are minging. You wash your hands only to end up touching the handle. At work we only have paper towels to dry our hands with and the bin is right next to the door so I dry my hands and open the door with the same paper towel before Bunning it as I walk out.

Another thing is the state people leave toilets in. ie not flushing, pissing all over the seat etc etc. My little girl keeps asking if she can come to the games with me and my lad. At the minute I don't think she'd sit through a game without getting bored, but when she will I wouldn't bring her on my own as I wouldn't know what to do with her if she needed a wee. I couldn't tale her in the gents at the Ricoh.

fucking animals. i work in an office and even well educated high earning blokes don't. its disgusting

My only theory is their Knobs are so tiny they don't need to aim and can go hands free.

At football it's dreadful but what I find more annoying, particularly at home, are pricks who can't even go in the correct end when they're clearly marked "entrance" and "exit". I always block them off, tut and moan at them, but they often still continue to barge past.

Yeah, get that a lot.

Ah yes - the ones that go in the "exit" because the queue for the entrance is too big... The queue being too big because people are having to squeeze past those trying to come in the exit...sure is annoying!

were you planning to write something else on the thread that you created called 'Public toilet hygiene'?

I met George Michael in a public toilet once. He was a very hygiene conscious man, he squirted me with his personal lotion and even gave me a 50p for getting some on my face.

And now you have a younger looking, but much stickier face?

I got severe food poisoning while in Walsgrave Hospital many years ago. I was in agony for days!

 

[Mcbean]

Sadly there are those who use a normal loo as you might in some other countries ie standing on the seat while releasing the chocolate hostage - this is a vile activity as use for anyone else is impossible until some poor cleaner also from another shore has to clean it up

 

[Gazolba]

I read that toilet seats have less germs than the average door handle.
And the handles of supermarket trolleys (or whatever they are called there) have been tested to have traces of things I'd rather not mention.

Yeah, I'm like a human pritt stick.

I'm constantly amazed by the lack of basic toilet skills in adults

I agree, I can't drop my trousers to my ankles at the urinals any more as people have usually pissed everywhere

Should have washed your hands after touching your cock then :smuggrin:

 

[Mr Panda]

What I don't get is how in every public toilet when you go in you push the door and on the way out you need to pull the door and come into contact with fecal matter just after washing your hands. Why are doors like this? Is it regulation?

I always pull the door with one finger towards the bottom of the handle because for some reason my mind tells me that'll be the area of least contact.

I just avoid public toilets at all costs. Ricoh is horrendous

 

[Nick]

Whatever happened to superloos where you put 2p in?

You put about £2 in now!

Yeah, but they are just push doors at the Ricoh aren't they?

I always go armed with my gel anyway and always use it after the Ricoh toilets.

Ricoh is a rare exception of push doors to exit. Restaurants, cinemas etc seem to all be pull and contaminate to leave

Don't I just know it, but I thought you were talking about the Ricoh.

The other one I don't like is the self service screens at supermarkets.

You have to key in if you have loose fruit and veg etc. and also key in if you have your own bag, to let the system know if you are paying by card and what type of card and also to state if you want a receipt or not. The screens can not be anything like clean at all and I guess are only wiped down at the end of the day.

I try and tap everything in with my knuckles, but it can prove to be a bit painful.

Same as doctor's surgeries - all these ill people using the same touch screen.

On a slight tangent, why do Doctors always say 'how are you?' when you go in?

'Oh fine thanks, on top of the world, just fancied a chat'!

At home ill today....really glad I opened this thread. ....pfffffffff..................

 

[Gazolba]

What about the current convention at sporting contests where every person touches hands with every other person.
There can't be a much more efficient way to spread germs.

They don't say that to me. They either say "Why have you come to see me?", "What can I do for you today?", "What seems to be the trouble?" or they just look at my blood test results and say "Everything looks good". Once the guy said to me "You're the only person I've seen today that I didn't have to advise to lose weight".
