Interesting... that's a pet peeve of mine. Jesus, we're professional adults here.

Are you mocking me?

What I meant by that was that you would think mature adult males could maintain a cetrain level of accuracy when pissing into the toilet.

I'll admit I'm a bit excessive when using soap (long rinse cause soap takes a while to get off), but now I don't bother with soap to stick it to 'em:).

All the people in here complaining... I'd bet that 50% of them simply rinse their hands and don't use soap. And, 90% of the remainder (or more) simply don't lather enough to make a difference.

You want to know when I wash my hands? When I get poo or urine on them. All you have to do is not piss or crap all over yourself, it is not that hard.

Dude, what if I have genital herpes and proceed to touch everything after touching my wang?

Not saying i have herpes...

ditto.

do you noid people not touch door handles, the coffee pots at work, water fountaints, or basically anything in public at all unless you have a paper towel to grab it with?

there are just as many germs there as anywhere else. and the more you are exposed to those little bacteria and germs that don't harm you 99.9% of the time, the more it helps your immune system.

No worries. The virus will quickly die. There's no reason to be paranoid in the restroom. You have a lot more bugs living on you right now. You have this amazing organ called skin that protects you.

What kind of knuckle dragging, mouth breathing, redneck, nascar fan, (did I miss anything?:p ) neanderthals do you work with?

you can't wash your hands for 5 minutes straight until the skin is red without getting a little ribbing. Especially not in Canada

...

That doesn't matter, because you touch all those things before you wash your hands. So, when you turn on the tap, wash, grab a paper towel, dry, and use it to turn off the faucet and open the door.

...and not throw paper towels/TP on the floor just because they can't be arsed to take it to a trash can.

Im going to use paper to open the door no matter what. Now, if there is a trash can next to or near the door, of course I'll throw it in the trash. But if it's soo far away that it would force me to open the door without a paper towel/tp, then I have no choice but to throw it on the floor near the door.

You'd be surprised what the cleaning people will do after a couple weeks of finding paper balled up on the floor near the door. Some will end up putting a trash can near the door for this reason.

At least he did flush his toilet right? (well maybe it's automatic). There are so many ppl that don't even flush (be it #1 or #2), that's why most restrooms now are equipped with auto-flush. Sometimes I use a drying towel to open the door.

So the only place they keep trash cans where you work is in the restroom?

And when they do, it's because they're tired of bitching about the savages that throw the paper on the floor.

You're right I suppose; I could hold onto the paper until I get back to the office and throw it away in the trash can. I guess it never occured to me to hold onto trash from the bathroom (not trying to be a smarta$$.)

you're not the only one, people in my company would rather throw the paper towel on the floor, rather then carry it back to their desk where theres a perfectly good trash can!!

It will certainly leave the facilities looking more professional in case you happen to have clients come by or something ;)

I have read that when a toilet is flushed after a poo microscopic fecal matter goes all over the place. This got me to thinking of the toilet paper in the bathroom at work - it would have fecal matter all over it before I even wiped my own butt with it.

So, I take my own TP to work. I keep a roll in my desk and when I need to go I grab a bunch and stuff it in my pocket.

A good friend of mine craps and pisses and doesn't even flush the toilet or wash his hands. Because I want to see your brownies and lemonade sitting in the toilet bowl. :roll:

I find it redundant that we have to pull the bathroom door open when we exit so even if we wash our hands, we come out of that place dirty.... Should have automatic doors or something.

I also detest assholes who pee on the seat... I went this morning and the seat was covered in drying urine. I considered cleaning it but instead walked out disgusted instead (the other stall was busy).
