Public Restroom Flushing

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....

    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!

    (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....)

    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.

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