bathroom door handle phobia ?

[Necuno]

Do you have some sort of bathroom phobia that makes you open/handle the door's handle in some "odd" way?

Out of observation I've seen one person at work that "kicks" open the door so he can't touch the handle

lol for me it depends on the bathroom, like if one i use often and no mostly the others that use it, like home, office etc then i don't have a big issue, but if i use a public toilet i lift the seat with my foot, flush with my foot and door either push open with foot or use elbow

haha i have seen many people do it as well

 

[Datura]

I do it (kick the door open) at any bathroom that I can do it. So many people at work don't wash their hands after they visit the toilet. It is fscking gross!!!

 

[Wall]

yeah, Also use feet and elbows

I hate touching the thing because more than half of the gents on my floor don't wash their hands (yes, I can list most of them by name). I do IT support, and I also don't touch their mice or keyboards (I dictate instructions to them while standing next to them).

Elbows, feet etc.

And in reverse-islamic fashion, I use my right hand for dirty work (e.g. shaking people's hands at meetings, opening doors, ablutions, etc.) and my left hand I'll use to eat, touch my face.

I also have a habit of washing my hands before using ablutions and afterwards. I try and open a door on the part that would least likely be touched by others.

I use my sleeves or toilet paper to open the door,this depends on how much booze I have had.

 

[blaaislaai]

If its a public or work toilet, i usually open the door with my shoulder.. don't wanna touch any handles

 

[Vegeta]

I've perfected the chuck norris approach... I roundhouse kick eveything open, doors, seats, taps, towel holders, the floor, the earth's core and so on and so forth

You could save yourself looking like a monkey if you just lift the seat with some toilet paper, flush with some toilet paper and open the door with some toilet paper and then bin the toilet paper

Just saying

lulz @ doing it the hard way

I don't either. I don't piss on my hands.

 

[AstroTurf]

I just use my hands.

My body needs pathogens to produce anti bodies. The way I see it, the dirtier they get the closer I get to immortality.










not...

+1

Though I wash my hands when not using a public toilet. The problem is the fact that everyone touches the taps with dirty hands, so when you have washed your hands and close the tap, your hands are dirty again. The solution is of course the ones that can sense your hands without the need to touch anything.

 

[HavocXphere]

Mostly its not possible to avoid it. I do think about it though i.e. whether there is a feasible way to avoid it. e.g. Open a push door very high where the vast majority of ppl can't reach anyway. (Roundhouse kick doesn't count as feasible imo)

Besides, I've pretty much come to terms with it. Unless you want to reenact the Monk series you've got zero chance of making a real dent in the amount of germs you pick up. So its mostly a case of dealing with it and disinfecting hands when getting home.

As for the not washing hands, yeah its sketchy. 100x more so if it involved #2 (urine is usually sterile, feces never are). I wash my hands 99% of the time. Occasionally though the taps look so horrible that its just not worth it. (i.e. biohazard tap vs my hands and body that I just washed 3 hrs ago)

On a side note, keyboards and mice are vastly more contaminated than most bathrooms are. Bathroom seats for example get wiped down with harsh chemicals regularly. When was the last time you washed your keyboard with "harsh chemicals"?

Also, loving this new trend of taps with IR sensors in public bathrooms. FTW!

 

[ichigo]

I always wash my hands after everything I do and I use toilet paper to open taps/toilet seat/doors etc.

Agree with you there. I make an exception for #2.

That's not sufficient ... everyone who has the slightest phobia about dirty kakhouses does the same. Even the filthy ones who don't even wash their hands after pee or a dump.
