    First of all, how are so many men happy to not wash their hands after doing a number 2, even in bar/restaurants

    second, it really annoys me that some people are such scumbags that they are happy to piss all over toilet seats, even disabled toilet seats

    rant over

    As somebody who cleaned toilets in hotels. Women are generally the worst offenders. They also put makeup stains every where!

    They probably didn’t wipe so no need to wash their hands.

    Pretty much. I cleaned toilets in a nightclub, and a large cafe.For females, 'Sanitary' towels, or bloody stuff was the worst though. Just thrown around after they left the cubicle. Ugh.

    From guys, the biggest issue was vomit. Cleaning up after someone pisses badly isn't so bad. It's worse when you find **** on the toilet seat itself, but that was something from both genders.

    Never quite understood how anyone could use a public toilet and not place some kind of paper on the seat itself. Don't they realise just how many people have used it before them without it being properly cleaned and disinfected? Ugh.

    Now, squat toilets are far more hygienic, and easier to clean up. Just a bit hard in the knees until you get used to the position. ;)

    I carry 'hand wipes' to clean my hands after using the toilet. No need to wash my hands in the public sink.. since in China, there's no telling how clean the water is.:D

    Piss never really bothered me. It would wipe away easily.
    It was mainly the make-up being smeared everywhere.

    What's the point in washing your hands, then touching the door handle which is covered in piss and ahit particles from those that did not wash theirs.

    Alcohol hand sanitizer when I leave the jax is the way

    I always thought the other trades on the building site were the scumbags until we worked a weekend job and my trade were the only ones on site. Out of six of us, at least two are pigs that were either over trained by a psycho parent or not trained at all.

    Sickening, that I actually eat lunch with these people and don’t know who it is.

    There are more Germs on the taps. More Germs again all over the hand dryer, like that is where the common cold was invented.

    I would only use a public crapper if things were fairly imminent. I just pee, shake and get out of there, using my elbows and upper arms were necessary. Public toilets are cesspits.

    Plumbers ?

    Tradesman myself, always thought some plumbers reared outside.

    I work air conditioning and refrigeration these days.

    Friend had a housemate, not from Europe. Toilet was always manky in the house.

    One day friend walked in to the bathroom by accident, not knowing housemate was in there. Dude was squatting over the toilet (as in, feet on the toilet bowl, arse higher than the cistern).

    This was a bloke who had been living here a couple years.

    Still makes me smile thinking of the initial shock that must have been on his face :)

    You wash your hands.
    You put your hand on the door handle and loads haven’t washed their hands.

    So it’s kind of pointless

    Unless you use tissues the whole way in and out?

    Well, maybe if you could refrain from checking other men's mickeys out while they urinate, these guys wouldn't need to use a cubicle.

    Staying ahead of the curve and transfering my skills to a trade that suits a customer base who has grown notions.

    Air conditioning is far from where Mary from ballybofey was raised but she wouldn’t have radiators in her house now. No way. They stink up the vibrations like net curtains and scare off the angel prayer she paid some scruffy woman with healing hands to do.

    We don’t need to check. They’re gone into the cubicle.

    A friend of mine used to work for a Middle Eastern airline a good few years ago. They'd often carry a lot of migrant workers from India, Bangladesh, etc., many of whom had never seen a flushing toilet, and definitely hadn't flown before. She said that it was a very common occurrence that one or more toilets would be sealed off during a flight after a passenger used it in the way you described. Personally I thought it was pretty impressive that they managed to get up on the toilet seat like that given how small the cubicles are.

    A sit down piss is by far the best

    It is shocking behaviour not washing your hands.

    I hope your (small) mickey is more reliable than a BMW :p

    Nah, it's not really.

    When you wash your hands, your hands aren't "clean". They're still swarming with bacteria, but just a bit less.

    If someone else hasn't washed their hands, then they're not putting tonnes of bacteria onto the door handle, they're just putting a bit on.

    So even after you've grabbed the door handle, your hands are still cleaner than if you hadn't washed them at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,461 ✭✭✭Bob Harris


    You go for a crap. Turn on the tap like many before you covering it in even more bacteria. Wash your hands. Then turn off the filthy tap with your clean hands rendering them not clean again.

    The airport type automatic taps or ones that are foot operated are the only way to avoid this.

    Really they should be reserved for their true purpose of snorting coke.
