Do you touch the bottom of your shoes when you are taking them off? If so, you are either a dumbass or Mr. Rogers. Mr. Rogers is dead. You are a dumbass.

walking around does a pretty good job of cleaning whatever might have been on there off.

Im so sick of this. People get so bent out of shape about germs that they can harm themselves. A couple of years back there were people who were dying in the hospital from antibacterial soap. They used it so much that it was killing the natural germs that are in your body to kill other germs. There imune system wasl like gone so they would die of like a comon cold. Ever use antibacterial soap on a wound? See how long it takes to heal. I wont put tha crap on me anymore. I would rather use the toilet in trainspotting :)

BAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA, i'm LMAO at reading all of this.

You guys are a bunch of fairies! AHAHAHAHHA!

Do you touch anything in public? Chances are, they're far dirtier than the restroom.

I don't crap in public...and if I do go #1 I use my fist to open the doors.
Public bathrooms(stalls) should be illegal..private/public are better. stadium bathrooms are plain disgusting.

Without violence, I'm not too afraid of guns. They're just a machine that needs to be respected. But I won't go near a squeegy, those things are deadly...

i have seen the remnents of "spray and pray" all over the flooor in bathroooms, sometimes just over the drain used to drain mop water. somepeople dont even go into stalls to use the bathroom. i have also seen a pile of crap in the middle of the floor at my school.

secoundly, in theory you could only clean one hand (unless its got motions sensor) becuase when you go to wash your hands you recontaminate your hand when you go to turn it off becuae you and a million other people have touched it before washing there hands.

some of the bathrooms at my school never get used so I've been able to find those and make sure I do my business there... they're absolutely spotless:D

always go to the very first stall. peeps have done research saying that that is the cleanest one, because people think its used most often they go to the very end stall.

Too much hassle... I don't feel like taking one of my shoes off every time I go to the bathroom.

I agree. If it's a nice bathroom, and there isn't a pile of sh|t in the other stalls, I'll use my hand. If it's a bathroom at my school for example, I wouldn't touch it wven with 5 layers of paper. Shoe all the way. It is disgusting what you find in a school bathroom. 4 out of the 5 stalls either are p|ss soken, or have sh|t in them.
