Well. since were talking nasty stories here I got one, way back in '78 I was working at a Holiday Inn, I assisted people who found no towels or linen in their room and various clean-up detail. During spring break this big dude was sitting on a sofa across from the check-in desk, he was so drunk he couldn't get up or move, every 3-4 minutes he would start puking all over himself and it would run down his body then the sofa, then the floor, it kept happening, erupting like 'ol faithful, people were snapping pics left and right, knowing the front desk manager was gonna page me I clocked out and hauled ass to my car, I could hear the PA system calling for me to "come to the lobby, NOW!" as I spun out of the parking lot. Next day I came back to work, the sofa was gone I played dumb, " I had already left" NFW did I want to deal with that disaster..

I'm thinking that this is a peculiarly American thing. I've never seen a public toilet like that. I've seen stinky, or unclean or even some with discarded needles in, but never some where someone has made an effort to make them shitty.

I was thinking the same...

Who the fuck washes their hands after they pee? I keep my hands clear of the opening in my penis so nothing gets on them.

I guess if someone else is in there and you need to be polite, you could rinse and then use your permanently attached paper towels - your pants - to dry if you had no other options.


I honestly do not understand the concept of washing your hands everytime after you use the restroom. It really bewilders me, and I say that for one main reason:

Mythbusters has proven that a bathroom is actually one of the cleanest rooms in the building/home. The reason for that is obvious - it gets thorough cleaning with clorox / bleach / germ killing products continuously while other area's are often untouched. Yet if I drink 2 gallons of water and go to the restroom every 5 minutes, apparently civil society says I need to wash my hands every 5 minutes. Bleh.

Wow just wow, so you are ok with someone's hand after handling their penis that was probably resting on their sweaty balls which may or may not even been washed that day?

yes as its still cleaner than 99% of the rest of the stuff you touch with your hands every day


anyway in regards to the OP when i was in college we were at the the local diner one night when one of my friends comes out of the bathroom ghostly pale and at a loss for words we actually thought he might have seen a dead body in there... nope. one entire side of the stall door was painted with shit, 100% solid coverage, could not see the paint behind it. the manager sent someone in who screamed something in Spanish for about 2 minutes straight, which was actually comical

Well maybe I am the odd man out here, I don't have problems with holding my pencil in my mouth which may have some bacteria on it, but I do have a problem with some dude's balls (even if cleaner) in my mouth.

I guess your definitions of clean and mine are way different.

Even a teeny tiny spec of crap can carry all kinds of diseases and parasites. You don't want it to be that one time you don't wash your hands that you catch some of that nastiness.

A few from Wiki:

Some of the diseases that can be passed via the fecal-oral route include:
Poliomyelitis
Norovirus acute gastroenteritis
Giardiasis[1]
Hepatitis A[2]
Hepatitis E[3]
Rotavirus
Shigellosis (bacillary dysentery)[4]
Typhoid fever[5]
Vibrio parahaemolyticus infections[6]
Enteroviruses
Cholera
Clostridium difficile
Cryptosporidiosis
Ascariasis

First off, Who says you have to touch/handle your penis eh? It's not exactly hard to flip your pants down :p

Second, as below poster said - there are PLENTY of other sources/objects that are 1000x more dirty, disgusting, and (most importantly) germ polluted.
