ohh im the only female who said use my hand.. i figure if im washing my hands anyways then its not a huge deal.

Besides you still have to use your hands to open the stall door and get out of the bathroom itself too! Either way you are going to wind up getting some type of germs on your hands.

Alot of the time, its a bar bathroom, and the ground is nasty. Plus i have been drinking. So there isn't
a chance in hell I'm lifting a leg and chance losing my balance and fall down. Especially when I'm going
to wash my hands anyway. Now if it looks like someone has pissed all over the handle, than I'll be honest,
that toliet isn't getting flushed.

agreed 100%!

adult diapers?

Eh, no. I have good control over bowel movements thanks. I'll go in the morning (sh!t, shower, shave in that order) and again in the evening. I don't just get a random need to squat in the afternoon?

I never liked public washrooms but college totally put me off. I was in an area with high asian count and they would find it fun to masturbate in the washrooms. You could hear them going on like a banshee in the stall next to you (if I was using a urinal) huffing and puffing and something moving at a rapid pace. They'd come out with a red face afterwards and sometimes sweating. Sound effects weren't rare either. And no, I don't think they were constipated.

I try to avoid using urinals even after that experience. Just don't drink diuretic beverages while on the road and you will do fine :thumbsup:

and you do the same if you were in a stall? I see the paper towel to get out of the restroom.. but to get out of the stall too? when you are going to wash your hands anyways?

You don't have to wash your hands if you do everything with your elbows. You might have to wash your pants though.

I use my foot to raise/lower the seat as well as flush.

One of these days I just know (being as uncoordinated as I am) that I'm going to lose my balance and end up putting my foot down right in the toilet, though.

foot, otherwise if i have to reach too high, I use my nails, and claw down on the very corner of the lever..

I only flush if there's piss in there before I take a piss, or someone is lined up to take a piss after me...

All the poll proves is that ATOT is in dire need of members of the female persuasion :confused:

and as far as urine goes, yes it is sterile - when it is in your body once exposed to the outside world it quickly becomes a warm wet breeding ground for yuck.
