10 Things To Never Do At A Public Restroom Let’s face it, no matter how well the upkeep,
public restrooms aren’t exactly pleasant.
We might hate them or find them unhygienic but the truth is that we use them when the
need arises.
After all, there is nothing more painful than holding in our tiny bits when all they want
to do is get flushed out!
So heading straight to a public restroom is our best bet in times of emergency.
But you know what?
It doesn’t have to be a shitty experience, except for in that one way!
Unknowingly we partake in behaviors that make the process more germy than it has to be.
So we compiled a list of 10 habits that you should never fall victim to, wanna know about
them?
Number 1.
Rush washing So you think that you didn’t touch anything
gross?
Oh come on, the toilets are full of pee and poop and yes, they are hella dirty!
So you have definitely got some germs sticking to your hands and yes, you NEED to wash them!
And we mean you wash them properly with soap, make lather and rinse them thoroughly.
Don’t be in a hurry to wash and leave because you’ll be carrying a lot of germs with you,
back to your home.
Want that to happen?
Number 2.
Use the hand dryer Yea people, it may be environmental friendly
in comparison to the paper towels available but they aren’t the hygienic option!
The air dryers are notorious for flinging poop particles everywhere they please.
It isn’t only covering you up in grime but others as well.
A study shows that using a regular hand dryer can catapult 60 times the amount of germs
than using paper towels does, and don't even think about those fancy-ass jet dryers -- they
blast 1,300 times the amount of germs.
How about you give it a miss and move to the more hygienic option, if they are available
that is!
Number 3.
Text at the urinal We understand, you are such an important person
that staying disconnected with the world for like less than a minute will cause the global
economy to crash!
Did you hear the sarcasm?
A public washroom is the last place you’d want your phone to come in contact with.
You know that your friend in the pocket is already very dirty, it can do with not having
to take in poop particles on its face!
Plus you’d not want to handle anything with a camera while you are doing your business
at a urinal, we mean accidents can happen!
Number 4.
Fail to flush Imagine you push open a stall door in a dire
need to go and see something sitting there like it owns the place.
Ever been in that situation?
We bet it let your stomach churn, the image that you see cannot be unseen, EVER.
It will come back to haunt you for days and you’ll lose your appetite!
Maybe we went too far but come on, it is unsettling and so you shouldn’t leave your shit behind
for the others as a display art piece because the last thing anyone will do is appreciate
it!
Number 5.
Hover The stalls are gross, covered with tons of
bacteria from other people’s poop and you can’t afford to let your bare back get shoved
in the toilet seat, yuck!
So either you cover the seat with toilet paper or just hover over the seat because hygiene
comes first!
But you’d be surprised to know that the average toilet seat is cleaner than a chopping
board or dish sponge.
We know it’s hard to believe but you just have to take in.
Oh and you’ll make a complete mess if you hover over the seat, see it as a pigeon doing
its business- the entire floor isn’t the seat!
Number 6.
Talk on the phone Can you really talk on the phone while taking
a dump?
The poor fellow who was more interested in the latest gossip you had to provide is now
forced to hear your farts and bear it all till the toilet is flushed!
Would you like to be on the other side of this telephonic conversation?
We guess not!
Plus do you realize how awkward it gets for other people waiting for their turn outside
your stall?
They can barely manage to bear with someone else’s poop sounds and then you bring in
a phone call to this lethal cocktail, BOOM- their patience blasts!
Number 7.
Create a lake on the counter around the sink Who is going to explain how this even happens?
Do people wash their clothes in public bathrooms?
It really is baffling and annoying and cringe worthy and plain stupid!
We wonder how you do it but if you are the one leaving a lake of water on the counter,
have some regard for other people who will use the sink after you.
They will probably end up with a horizontal line on their shirt when they bend over to
wash their hands, all because of you!
Simply keep the water where it belongs, in the sink that is!
Number 8.
Camp out in a stall Of course the washroom is the ideal place
to make elaborate plans about your career but not when you are at a public toilet and
there’s a queue outside the stall!
Someone is about to pee their pants so maybe your pondering session can wait!
Oh so you aren’t one of the dreamers but you have to read the cartoons on the stall’s
door.
There’s so much to read and take in but so little time- so let’s camp in the stall,
wow!
Don’t forget what you came here for, do your business and get out of there quickly.
As it is the place isn’t smelling so good so how about you hurry up and go outside for
some fresh air?
Number 9.
Flush with your foot So you feel that touching the handle of the
toilet is vile and getting those germs on your hand is just gross, fine.
But is using your foot to flush the toilet any better?
If you just do it with your hands, no harm will befall because as it is you will be washing
your hands.
But you aren’t going to wash your feet at a public washroom so that means you are going
to take fecal matter along with those germs to your house.
Isn’t that germy and gross?
Plus you completely forgot about other people who will use the washroom after you.
Not everybody has struck upon the idea of flushing with their feet and they will face
all the more germs on the handle.
Putting them through this isn’t nice!
Number 10.
Leave a shower This one applies more to the squatters but
anyone who leaves yellow drops on the seat, that’s bad manners.
Use a piece of toilet paper and wipe it off after you are finished because if you don’t
do it someone else will and that’s plain rude!
Think of other people please, nobody would want to use a toilet which is proudly showcasing
the remnants of the previous use, eww!
Why do you want to gross out other people?
