This is a little off topic, but in relationships to public restrooms. I hate it when there are not any papers towels and only the air dry machines. I guess I have a minor case of ocd with my hands. I always wash them, sometimes up to 12-13 times a day.
When exiting a pubic restroom I always grab an extra amount of paper towel to open the door with so I do not touch the handle. When they have air dryers only, they call it more sanitary, but how is washing your hands then touching a door handle where for all you know someone wiped thier *** with thier bare hand then did not wash them before grabbing this handle more sanitary? I am also sure those door handles have never been disinfected ever!

Same. I open doorways with elbows, feet, knees, etc. I always turn the faucet on, wash my hands, dry my hands with paper, then turn the water off and open the door with the paper, tossing it in the trash on the way out. This technique has prevented me from getting two or three fewer colds each winter.

Thing about our bathrooms at work are they are 2 stalls crammed in to a tiny space. We have one indvidual here who, when he goes to take a sh*t, likes to sit and bask in his own glory and renders the entire room unusable unless you have a hazmat suit on. No courtesy flush or anything. And if he even does flush it usually just clogs the toilet. If you are unlucky enough to be in one stall when he comes in to use the other, you are treated to sounds of grunting, explosions of various kinds, and other disgusting things I won't mention.
The other gents on my floor and I have set up a PFN (pooping friends network) to alert each other when said savage has defiled our restroom.

I had a similar situation at a former job. The guy I worked didn't bask or clog, but the sulfuric stench he left behind would make the eyes water! (It was like Yellowstone with a rotten twist) On the positive side, he would normally warn those of us in the same department by mentioning that he was "going to go ruin the sh*tter" as he departed to do his damage. On the negative side, he was the type that would wander into an occupied cubicle, silently release a toxic cloud, and escape before the stench took hold. I had many cube evacuations due to this character.
Heh heh. I'm guilty of that. RACK room clearing farts.

The restrooms at work have lever-type door knobs. The doors open inward, into the restroom. I have perfected the elbow-lever-down-and-in, pivot, foot-in-the-door-and-kick maneuver.
Someone saw me doing this and was like, "Why don't you just use a paper towel?", to which I replied, "NEVER! I will not be defeated!" - which, granted, is probably an odd thing to hear someone coming out of the ladies' room say.
I like to keep things interesting for my coworkers.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Automated bathrooms are an excellent example of human progress. (when everything is functional) If it all works as designed, then you only have to touch yourself. ;P I guess the doors are still a problem, but at least the toilet flush, hand washing, soap dispensing, and hand drying are touch-free.

Surprised you don't push the door open with your infeasibly large knob....And what if the door opens inwards?
Personally, after laying a cable, i think it would be a convenience for all to have a dispenser of 'doorknob covers' by the door like you have a dispenser of toilet seat covers by the bog. That way you can wash your hands and use a 'knob cover' to exit.
That or automatic doors.

Two things:
First off, the last thing I want is to get some rash on my ebony johnson. So I'm not about to open anything but legs and inner labia with that mighty staff.
Second, for the illumination of my English friend, I catch two or three fewer colds each year due to such hygienetically astute washing practices. Unfortunately for me, the same cannot be said of my mouth, from which soap bubbles are issuing forth due to my wife cleansing that opening for the invective which spewed due to my literary lapse. Apologies, my friend, for offending the King's English so frightfully.

Yeah! If you spoke proper, what like we does, there would be less confusion in the world.

Any thread with Nobby in it is toilet worthy.

I hate when you get into a cubicle and the *** before you hasn't flushed and there is a ton of bogroll in the toilet. So you flush it and the water rises and rises...and rises and then starts to overflow.
So you can either tell someone or just leave, can you guess what I used to do :oP

Keep it up and I'm going to PM you my e-mail so I can wake up to this sort of jewel every morn'. I'll pay by the word, naturally.
As far as passive-aggressive bathroom hyjinx go, I've got a winner. At my last job (Progressive Insurance) the woman's restroom was terrorized each month by a woman who would smear Aunt Flo' all over the walls of the stalls, the mirrors, the sinks. These were seemingly upstanding, professional folks, too, and the facilities wre beautiful.
I was always very curious as to who would be so diabolical. It was fun to imagine each of my female co-workers wiping the remnants of a past potential pregnancy all over the joint. I so would have offered to buy that dame a drink, if I'd just known who she was.
