Public Restroom Flushing

_Elemenopee_

Office/Restaurant/Theater/Anywhere not a private home with obvious cleaning rituals.

Do you use your foot or hand to flush? Even with push button ones or the automatic ones that might be off timer-wise or broken.

I use my foot even if the damn thing is eye level. I'm NOT touching that thing.

To be honest, even in some friends/family homes, I'll still hover and use a napkin/tissue.

I'm with you on that one. And I use a paper towel to open and close the doors. I have a thing about public restrooms. :sick:

Where I come from, you do not flush. You just try not to get splinters on your behind....

Muddy_Yogi

Yeah...foot for sure! I wouldn't touch that thing with a ten foot pole! Or someone else's for that matter. I also us towels on door knobs and sink handles because I have first hand witnessed the nasty behaviors of others. SO WRONG PEOPLE! What you think that YOOOOOU don't carry germs?

Foot without a doubt.
At work I have to balance on one foot while moving my other foot between the trash can and toilet, then flick it hoping it hits the handle. It's a small calorie burn.

I flush it with my hand, knowing full well that I am going to wash my hands in the next thirty seconds, and that I possess a strong and adequate immune system.

I am not afraid of germs.

I have a coworker who never washes her hands. I have seen her MANY times just turn on the water and walk out. Like I hadn't noticed she didn't use sopa, wet or dry her hands....REALLY? Do not touch ANYTHING I touch. Ever!

paper towel or foot - I've seen way to many dudes not even bothering to wash their hands before leaving

I'm a foot flusher if it doesn't have the auto flush. I will NOT touch that handle !

(Anyone who used to flush it with their hand should probably switch to their foot now that we've all put our shoe germs on there, too....)

Hover and flush with foot.

I'm not afraid of germs, but I still have to unlock the door and turn on the water. I'm not adding to the disgustingness that is already on there.

I also use paper to open the doors on my way out.

This... however, I will use my foot if it's really nasty and I had to hover over the toilet to go as it was... you know like in a bus station in the shady part of town.

I'm pretty sure that if I tried to use my foot, I would fall over...? Besides, I'm most likely about to wash my hands. And even if I don't...a couple germs, oh well.

Autoflush can be dangerous if you have filled the bowl to possible blockage levels. Can lead to a mad, penguin-like dash.

FOOT - esp here at work - some of these women are NASTY....**shudder**

I take toilet paper, wrap my finger and flush with the wrapped finger. I will not touch the flusher without wrapping my finger first.

Contrarian

I use my tongue.

I try not to use public washrooms at all cost but if I have to... I use my foot.

Jxnsmma

I use my hand, and then I wash it... along with the other hand. Then I avoid all doorknobs...

I work in a semi-professional environment... it amazes me how many time I've found pee on the FLOOR and on the toilet seat. C'mon... really?

LOL If I tried to flush with my foot I would be more worried about laying on the floor in there.

I also use paper to open the doors on my way out.

*shrug* I just grab a squirt of hand sanitizer as I walk back into my classroom. The keyboard I am typing on now has WAY more germs than the restroom which is bleached three times a week.
