bathroom door handle phobia ?

What's the point? U are still going to touch, with your bare hands, many other door handles that the fool who didnt wash their hands touched, like building entrance, office doors, Mcdonalds doors, friends house doors...rather wash hands before eating or doing anything for that matter.(excuse my Pedi/Zulu-English).

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.

+1 I have waterless hand sanitizer in my back pack for cases where I am forced to use public bathrooms. I NEVER touch those taps. I would rather live with my own germs than with 50 other people's germs.
 
Nah...I think people should get over themselves. We are moving towards being so cautious about germs in everyday life that sometime in the future our immune system will be so freakking useless that a new strain of cold virus will kick us down on our @sses.

I used to put coins in my mouth...I used to munch dog pellet food with our family dog when I was little and did not know any better...AND I AM STILL HERE!
 
Man you guys are a bunch of wimps.

seriously people, you guys belong in the looney bin. you have a disorder. get help.


washing your hands EVERY TIME after having a wizz?
- Do you piss all over your hands?
- Is your d1ck dirty?



I can understand wanting to be clean, but being afraid to touch anything including yourself or your willy is just plain silly.
c'mon, how can you go through life kicking open doors and never touching door handles?

It's called hygiene.

Tsek! My Willy Wonka is clean as whistle! I do wash my hands everytime I go number two...cause well...that just makes sense. :-)

I think the point me and Keeper is trying to make is that people are becoming obsessed with hygiene. I am not saying hygiene does not have its place in society..it does for sure....but there is a limit man. People that walk around with those little bottles of antiseptic gel and stuff...I mean really now.

Relax people...you are fretting about silly things like this and it just aint worth it or called for. We used to eat dirt as kids man. When I see mothers having a beroerte when their precious little darlings gets their hands dirty makes me so angry. Let the child play and get dirty...it is good for them to learn and also to get that little immunse system revving up. Tis all.

Without them we would not be here. Appreciate the little buggers for the good that they do and respect the bad that they potentially can do......just dont freak out about it! hehe

You'll have to forgive me if I don't take your word for that :p

But while there's plenty of bathroom paranoia to go around, anxiety might be a little overdone. Yes, there can be plenty of bugs lying in wait in public restrooms, including both familiar and unfamiliar suspects like streptococcus, staphylococcus, E. coli and shigella bacteria, hepatitis A virus, the common cold virus, and various sexually transmitted organisms. But if your immune system is healthy, and if you adopt simple hygienic measures like handwashing, you should be able to deliver a knockout punch to most of what you encounter and perhaps put your "germ-phobia" to rest.

:whistle:

There is a limit: it's called washing your hands whenever you use a bathroom and using some common sense when using a public toilet seat.

If you ate dirt as a kid, you no doubt also had worms :D

you do know that millions of people use public toilets, escalator handles, hotels, door handles, taps, tables, chairs, computer equipment and such every single day, and 99.99% of them don't get sick from doing so.

don't you think some of you are a tad extreme here?



I have a few questions for you guys:
1) how do you eat at a restaurant? do you clean your cutlery before eating? how about handling salt and pepper?
2) what the hell do you do on holidays at hotels? do you sterilize everything or what?
3) what about other peoples car doors? do you also kick them open and closed or use toilet paper?
4) how the hell do you handle coins/change?

and finally, I hope none of you guys use the back door, as that will seriously contradict all the effort you guys are putting in just to take a wizz.


*sorry if I have given you guys some new phobias to look out for.

I dont get naked and roll all over the toilet bowl hey.

And yes...I did have worms once as a kid...me dad took me to his practice...got some worm meds and one dose and I was rid of the little fckers. If you did not have worms as a kid you have not lived! hehe. We as kids used to go play in the "Koppie" behind our house. The crap we got up to there....boy....I miss those days haha. We even used to smoke dried out succulent plants with a little hole pushed through it with a thin wire.

Restaurants fortunately have standards and the cutlery is washed. However, if I get greasy cutlery/crockery with blatant evidence of not being properly cleaned, you're mad if you think I'll use it. That's when I walk out.

2) what the hell do you do on holidays at hotels? do you sterilize everything or what?
Click to expand...
Considering everything is laundered, I don't get your point? Unless you go to some seriously dodgy hotels with stained linen? O.o'

3) what about other peoples car doors? do you also kick them open and closed or use toilet paper?
Click to expand...
Hyperbole. I'm yet to see anyone pee on their car doors.

4) how the hell do you handle coins/change?

Er.. I wash my hands after using them. Like, you know.. you should?

and finally, I hope none of you guys use the back door, as that will seriously contradict all the effort you guys are putting in just to take a wizz.

Considering it's my own "back door" and that I wash, I don't see how this is in any way relevant.

There are simple standards of hygiene to maintain. Washing your hands after using a bathroom, avoiding touching things you know people who don't wash their hands make use of (people like you :D), and if you are in town and need to dirty your hands that you avoid touching your face, food, etc until you've been able to wash your hands.

You have no idea how easy it is to avoid most illness just by having decent standards of hygiene (gastroenteritis, herpes simplex--fever blisters, warts, etc--, conjunctivitis, etc).

It's not about going over the top like someone with chronic OCD, it's about maintaining your health and by doing so simply keeping your damn germs to yourself.

Simple, really.
