Public Toilet doors: barehand or paper towel?

[EKKC]

im a germaphobe. so here's my poll inspired by the other poll.

i thought i was the only one, taught by my germaphobe dad i usually use a paper towel to hold the handles exiting the bathroom, and look for a garbage can to dump the towel. but lately i've been seeing a lot of people doing the same thing, and noticed a lot of such used paper towel behind bathroom doors.

Anyone who throws the paper towel on the floor is an immature, uncouth savage. An adult would speak to someone in charge about having a garbage can placed near the door.

At this point, im walking in the bathroom completely covered with plastic wrap and a supplied air respirator. With me I have a bucket of disinfectant and a scrub brush.

 

[Xylitol]

I use my shirt to open it
If I use a paper towel, I always make the hookshot into the trashcan

 

[EKKC]

im beginning to see this more and more. additional garbage cans behind/near doors.

i was at this restaurant and they actually wrote that customers are welcome to do this. but they ask you to please put the used paper towel into the garbage can properly.

 

[torpid]

I have a feeling this will lead to a renewed debate on the asshats who throw paper towels on the floor.

 

[EKKC]

but if i were a janitor i would rather clean up paper towels than misfired pee

 

[Q]

I do same as OP

 

[purbeast0]

bare hand because i'm not a paranoid germaphobe.

Usually with paper towel. To not waste paper, I use the same towel i used to dry my hands (which is also the one i use to turn off the water). I'll open the door, hold it open with a foot, and chuck the towel in the trash.

If the trash is not within easy chucking distance, i'll use my elbow.

 

[Ika]

Depends how cleanly I feel. Which is odd, now that I think about it, because I don't think there's a real basis for my decision to use a paper towel or not.

hoestly, I'd like to bludgeon the asshats who toss paper towels in the TOILET where I work. I know we don't have any kids around...just wondering who among the staff has the mental acuity of one.

heh...how about salt/pepper packets, gum, aluminum foil, and maxi pads in the urinal? (that's right, one incident of a woman's pad in the men's urinal. W....T....F???)

 

[randay]

I use the toilet paper that I just wiped my ass with.

Barehand cause we don't have paper towels - we got electric dryers

Basketball shot paper in trash can there is one inside the toiled at my college

 

[imported_Imp]

Paper towel and hold onto it until trash. Unless it's a shithole I'd never go back to, I will hold onto the towel, even pocket it. At work, there was one just outside the door that was always overflowing.

OK, that's pretty nasty if you're serious.

 

[ppdes]

Real germaphobes hold it in until they get home.

 

[IEC]

Paper towel on door handle.

Throw away in garbage can.

I'm a germaphobe because I'm on a university campus and got sick way too many times last year...

Eh, i've brought home women and licked them all over without even knowing their name so why the hell would i worry about the god damn handle?

Just out of curiosity, how many of you refuse to go down on a woman? (or use a dental dam)

...and those two things are exactly the same. :thumbsup:

Tell that to the old diddler that touched the handle after getting shit on his fingers and picking his nose and walked right out without even thinking about washing those mitts.

 

[SoundTheSurrender]

I usually use my leg and shoe.

You're right, they are not, in one case i'm putting my tongue in there, in the other case i'm using my hand to touch something that most people really don't smear with their bodily fluids unless then are trying to.

So of course, it's a lot worse to lick this bar hoppper than it is to use your fucking hand to open a fucking door.

Maybe if i opened the door with my tongue it would be an issue for me.

I suggest you quit going down on dirty hoes.
