So on weekends I staff a lobby with a restroom. This lobby is staffed 24/7. A few months ago one of the other team members brought in three magazine-like catalogs from a high-end food retailer. Those catalogs stayed in the bathroom for two to three months. Prior to this past weekend I found these catalogs out on the shared reception desk. I was mildly disgusted and I put them into the trash can, vigorously washing my hands afterward. Since reading material cannot be washed or otherwise sanitized for all practical purposes, I tossed them. In my opinion once reading material goes into the bathroom the next stop is the trash. Do you agree or did I overreact?
Unless it is used in place of toilet paper I would lean toward over reaction but in my opinion it is no different than using one's phone or tablet to text, read or talk while using the facilities. Do you toss your phone or tablet as well?

There are cleaning and disinfecting solutions for electronic devices. Once newsprint or magazine paper gets wet or moist it is compromised, IMO.
Yes, if it had been in what is basically a public restroom for three months. Handled by nose-picking, nether-wiping fingers and dropped on urine soaked floors.
They're catalogs--they're expired, and they've lived in the land of toilet spray for far too long. Pitch 'em.
Exactly, this restroom has one of those commercial, wall-mounted toilets that does not have a seat cover. I am sure the spray has gotten on every surface many times and I doubt the cleaning staff disinfects any reading material.
