No onelikesusing public bathrooms , but everyonehasto at some point . But it does n’t have to be a icky experience . Well , except for in that one way of life .
Skip washing your hands
It ’s dirty in bathrooms , probably because of all the poop and pee . You may guess you did n’t extend to anything gross , but you definitely , 100 % did .
Fake-wash your hands
You were probably that kid who ply his toothbrush under the faucet , were n’t you ? Mom ’s not here to check your hint , but come on , you ’re operate to tinct other mass with those hands eventually . You ’re a grown - up now , presumably .
Text at the urinal
We get it ! You ’re " totally addicted to your phone ! " You ’re a big important person who ca n’t spend 30 bit disconnected or the entire spheric saving will crock up ! When hoi polloi have their junk out , it ’s not appropriate to be handling a gimmick that has a photographic camera .
Use the urinal or stall right next to someone when others are available/clean
You likely lean back in full and manspread on every flight , do n’t you ?
Choose the hand dryer over paper towels
Using a hand dryer after washing your hands is an excellent means to cast aside poop particles everywhere . It also does a horrific job of dry your hands . Arecent studyshows that using a even hand dryer can sling 60 times the amount of germs than using paper towels does , and do n’t even think about those fancy - ass jet dryers – they blare 1,300 multiplication the amount of germs .
Flush with your foot
Touching the handle of a toilet is vile , and you do n’t require those germs on your hands . Is flushing with your pes any better ? Not really . You ’re run to rinse your hired man anyway after using the public convenience ( RIGHT ? ! ) and using your metrical foot means that you ’re basically putting germs on the bottom of your feet , which you might finally cut through home to your own floor . You ’ll also go forth all the germ you track in there on the grip for the next person , who ’s probably a fake hand - washer .
Go into a single bathroom or stall as a group
It may seem like doubling or tripling up in a crowded streak is the considerate thing to do , but multiple inebriated multitude in a small space slow down the line down even more .
Hover
Sitting on a toilet seat with your bare behind , especially a public potty seat , is gross , right ? While it may seem more sanitary to brood over the derriere or cover it with toilet theme , you do n’t have to . Theaverage toilet seat is cleanerthan thing like cut panel or dish sponges , and you ’re more potential to make a messiness if you linger .
Fail to flush
You know that feeling when you open a stall doorway and see something sitting there that you will never be capable to unsee ? Do n’t cause that for someone else .
Camp out in a stall
We know there are so many fascinating Trump thinkpieces out there to read and so short time , but it ’s no excuse for forcing discomfort upon your fellow john patrons . Do what you came to do , and move on .
Linger when someone is camping
If you stand right in front of a motor home ’s stall , that somebody ’s entitled to camp . On rule .
Talk to anyone you don’t know
Fine , if you distrust you might be let a nitty-gritty attack you are allowed to courteously request aid . But do it in short – you ’re deliver a heart attack !
Flood the counter around the sink
How does this even fall out ? Are you wash off your clothes in public bathrooms ?
Talk on the phone
Hearing other people ’s poop noises is somehow really less awkward than hearing their bathroom headphone conversation . Whatever it is , it can expect .
Heroin
Do n’t do heroin anywhere . But please , specially not in public restrooms .
