LOL Shredder says thanks Red for making me laugh so hard I spewed coffee He's having fun cleaning himself off lol

I hate when people don't wash their hands after using the restroom, 'cause we know where those hands have been But re restaurant employees, my question is 'how' do they avoid touching the handle when leaving? I guess employers of restaurants could provide those little sanitary towelettes for the employees to use to open the door with, but short of that they have to open the door. Hmmm must ponder because I could make a fortune inventing something to guarantee no handle touching

Oh and don't even get me started with portapotties - give me a bush and a bit of privacy, thank you very much. Unless say at a concert where there's absolutely no privacy, won't use them. If I have to, I do the same thing as when I changed diapers many years ago which is breath through my mouth. Foul places.

If one is lucky the door is in the right location so that you can use the paper towel to open it and then toss it into the basket. This is only the case about 20% of the time though!! The rest is like playing "TWISTER" trying to get out without recontaminating your hands!! LOL

I agree.
That's why, though I was my hands, I always have hand sanitizer with me...

Why don't restaurants realize if they had a spotless bathroom you would remember it more then the food!!!

If there is no paper towel, I use my handkerchief to open the door. I saw a cook one time use the facilities and not wash his hands. Followed him to the back and said "you forgot something" and he laughed and said "so what" and I said "so long"...

Reds.....Thank God for that last line....I was taking you serious at first mr. cootie hands. LOL

When you got to go, you got to go. The one thing I hate worse than public restrooms is a portapot. OMG......gross, double gross.
Had a bad experience in one on Kelly drive in Philly. Look like someone took a machine gun loaded with crap and aim for the walls, ceiling, floor. It was horrible. Between that and the stink. I'm getting sick thinking about it.

I have no words..................

After a hepatitis outbreak signs went up telling people how to use paper towels to get safely out of the restrooms after washing. But once again "We have a problem Houston". Air driers and no towels. Really smart. Why don't health codes require doors that open out so you can exercise you butt opening the door?
