Things I just don't understand...

    Why do public toilets always have inward opening doors?

    Think about it. You go for a wizz or a poop. You wash your hands. You see Johnny Mankey taking a slash, with his great big unwashed mickey in his hands. He walks out, without the necessary hygiene.

    You dry your hands, and go to open the door. You have to grasp a door handle that Johnny Mankey just opened with the hands he just had his mickey in. Him and no doubt many others. What do you do?

    Why do some people have issues with being told you can't park there?
    Where I work, you can't park outside the front door. We reserve it for a drop off point, or for disabled badge holders. We offer valet parking. We offer a shuttle bus to ferry people to and from the car park, both complimentary. Yet people continuously park there. Why?

    Back to toilets again. Why do some places supply those damn asthsmatic handdryers?
    Surely they use the same amount of electricity as, say, a Dyson Airblade. Yet an Airblade dries your hands in 10 seconds, whereas with those wheezy little things take ages. Damn, I love those Airblades. Do be tempted to drop me balls in, to see what it feels like, if it was my own personal one.

    What do you not just get?

    Because the initial cost of putting a Dyson in is probably really high and so people don't buy them.

    Because if they opened outwards, you'd be running the gauntlet of having a door in your face as you walked past them.

    Exactly.

    I'd say install sensors ... but then Johnny Mankey will touch the handle of the next door with the hands he just touched his mickey with anyway, so feck all difference really.

    Your face is far too close to said mickey to know that its unwashed.

    Just asking but is this knowledge through looking to long at the urinal or trying to sniff it.

    Either one means that your faux-pax userps his.

    If youre referring to previous users of the bog, then you do what a normal person would do and use a tissue or suchlike to open the door upon your exit.Or your wee finger.


    Some like a wee finger on the exit door:pac:

    or you could just take out the door that leaves the room

    Missed this the first time around.

    My knowledge of his mickey being of the great unwashed kind comes from more of a presumption than anything else.

    If he is a bit sloppy with washing his hands, then I'm guessing he might have issues with the far more difficult task of handling floppy goods in the shower.

    I don't stare at someones mickey, unless it's particularly interesting/pretty.

    Bull is male. For cow, elephant, and whale (I think)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,789 ✭✭✭slavetothegrind


    so my friend, just what would make a mickey "pretty" in your eyes? Hmm?

    on the handle thing, http://www.handlehygiene.com/ got you covered!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,050 ✭✭✭axel rose


    Cow is the female and bull is the male version of the creatures that live in the fields- but what are they? :confused:

    Oh,just remembered.I had a dragons denish moment and thought that black light in a bathroom would be a fantastic idea.

    Til I thought that people would be p1ssed at seeing themselves blasted in p1ss and not return to that pub:o

    Ignorance is bliss:pac:

    I always clean my hands though.



    Never mind the abundance of human related excretions EVERYWHERE in the bog.Poor cleaner would be under severe pressure something akin to a serial killer(with black light) trying to remove all traces.

    Aren't cattle refering to a herd that is for slaughter-just as heifers are female and will eventually have calves and will r]then be cows-bullock is the individual in a herd of cattle.

    If you are right what is the singular name?

    Bovine is as close as I can get but we don't call sheep ovis......well I don't!

    Cattle is the correct term, known colloquially as cows.

    To an Irish farmer at least, they're only cattle if they are bullocks or heifers, if they are milking cows then they are referred to as cows
