California has toilet seat protectors in virtually all bathrooms.
Because some states do not not have them when I travel and it totally grosses me out to sit on toilet seats without them (and sometimes they are wet-yuck) I bought a little travel pack of toilet seat covers that I keep in my purse.
My GF died of laughter when I showed her.

I have done this before. When you are forced to use a toilet that looks like it's going to not only eat your stuff but you in the process, I advise it!
Having said that.....the majority of bathroom germs are not on the toilets but are on the toilet paper dispensers and the door latches.
Carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer with you and you should be good on all fronts.

Is there really an epidemic of people dying from "Restroom Door Handle Germs" ?Any nation that uses bits of paper to smear stuff around its privates instead of washing with water surely should examine the the first steps in the problem rather than the last. Carry a canteen at all times.

No epidemic that I'm aware HOWEVER I do not like the idea of other people's germs. For starters you have cold/flu/viruses that could be caught. And I prefer to not get sick. Now true these germs can be on any door handle and surfaces but I keep hand sanitizer in my car. Also there's the possibility of fecal bacteria on hands that have touched said door because they don't wash their hands.

Eat dirt.
Or lick your fingers without washing them first.
Germs are like vaccines. You need to ingest a little bit to inoculate yourself against the majority of them.
If you are so strict about not coming into contact with germs, you are actually weakening your immune system.

I get that. Hospitals are the worst places because all of that stuff is floating around and all it takes is one orderly or one doctor or nurse to not switch gloves or not scrub well enough and it starts a chain reaction of contagion. Actually, hospitals kind of gross me out if you think about all of the biological and medical waste that is in one. No shortage of bodily fluids there!
We practiced the 5 second rule a lot in our house. Maybe that helped. I became a lot healthier and stronger once I got out on my own. My mother and her husband smoked crazy wild and I spent basically my whole 5th year in hospitals. Maybe that helped. Who knows? Our bodies are strange and mystical things sometimes.

Yes, I'm a big grabber with the foot too. If I do have to touch the door handle I grab it at the very bottom. People tend to grab the middle or upper half of a door handle.
Gemme, of course the floor is the very worst! I have held things in my hands while I squated over a toilet rather than put them down on the ground. And yes, I read that the seat is safe. I have heard that before. I hadn't heard that about the door handle, though.

That depends on what articles you read. Some say it has the least germs/bacteria and some say it's one of the surfaces with the most. Personally, I'll stick to my habits.... Better safe than sorry.

You must have read about the automatic toilet seat cover machine. Paper ones that you remove yourself and put down are fine.
"Have you been in a restroom where the toilets have an automatic plastic cover that whirls itself around the seat to provide a hygienic surface for the next user? If you’ve passed through O’Hare International Airport and used the facilities, chances are you have at least seen them.
Such seat covers are now the center of a controversy in the airport for a couple reasons.
First of all, they have been found to be have a flaw that can refute some of their hygienic purpose. It turns out that if toilet water is spit up during a flush or if urine makes its way onto the bowl, the liquid then gets dragged onto the plastic cover where the next person is supposed to sit.
The Chicago Sun-Times investigated the issue in person at the airport after receiving a tip from a reader."

Unless you didn't wash your hands good, I am good.
I went to the theatre today and went to the restroom 3 times. Each time, I went to the same restroom and used the same stall (2nd from the front). I chose this stall because I don't like to use the first stall and I look for stalls with lights directly above so I can see what kinds of nastiness other people leave for me (I'm speaking directly to those that hover above and piss all over the seat.....you all are gross.). Obviously, any stalls with the remnants from previous users would not be used. Thankfully, this theatre is usually pretty clean so I feel comfortable with most of the stalls most of the time.
Nothing but the bottom of my shoes ever touches the floor, so I don't have to worry about that. Sometimes I'll wipe the seat off with some TP if anything looks remotely questionable but (ha!), I usually bare butt it. I don't touch the flush handle or the tp dispenser at all.
It takes forever with the timed faucets that they have but I make sure to wash my hands good and this theatre doesn't have doors in and out of the bathrooms so I don't have to worry about to handle or not to handle and if to handle with a paper towel or elbow. The timed faucets turn off on their own so I don't have to worry about turning them off.
All in all, I think I passed!

It's gross to me because they never go and wash their hands afterwards and just wad the tissue or handkerchief back up and smoosh it in their pocket or on the table. Then they touch things. And people. Ugh. It's when what comes out of their nose and travels to places it shouldn't be that really gets me.
On a side note, when I hear a surgeon breaking someone's nose I feel the same stomach flip but it's a sound thing, not a germ thing. I can't watch nose job videos when they are chiseling the bone. I have to wait until that is over and then bump the sound up.

Thankfully, Lysol makes different flavors/scents but you're right; there's always that 'Lysol' disinfectant smell.
I agree with you about a smoker's cough. When it's extra hacky and plegmy, that is my signal to remove myself from the situation. I think it's because I spent so much time with my mom and she smoked for almost 50 years before she passed away from it.

Thankfully, Lysol makes different flavors/scents but you're right; there's always that 'Lysol' disinfectant smell..[/QUOTE]
Exactly. My brother was a barfer when he was a kid and my mom was always spraying lysol wherever it landed. So the smell just makes me think of my barfy brother.

People dipping their dirty greasy fingers in a glass of water at a restaurant instead of getting up and going to wash them properly!
Stinky people gross me out. I was just in the grocery store and next to me was a family that stank (B.O.) so bad that I started gagging right there.

Not in my parts. But around her they do tuck hankies up their shirt sleeves and use them and tuck them back in.

Catholics Nuns were famous for tucking hankies up their sleeves but I'm pretty sure it was for blowing their noses!

Yes, that was the type of "use them" I was referring to. Nuns or not.

I had an assignment due tonight, so I went to the library after class. It was very busy, but I found one spot left near the back in between two guys. I named the young man sitting to my left "Indigestion" and we'll just call the gentleman on my right "Heavy Breather." The reasons for the nicknames will become clear in a moment.
When I logged on to the terminal, I was surprised to see that apparently a woman had left in quite a hurry. She was clearly gone (I asked to be sure), but she was still logged in and there were documents still open the desktop. According to her login, her name was Rebecca.
It didn't take long to figure out why young Rebecca fled so quickly.
Indigestion started repeatedly honking his nose instead of blowing it. And it was loud. And oh, the belching! He belched and honked a symphony of not-so-sweet nothings right into my ear. I could practically taste his dinner. It was unbelievably loud and it was positively the most revolting thing I have ever been subjected to in public. Oh, the acoustics!
Not to be outdone, Heavy Breather was apparently very excited by all of this. Indigestion just kept chomping on chips. This was not ordinary belching; when you are belching like this, it's time to stop eating for a little bit.
Now, I know when I write I often use hyperbole to underscore my point (and to entertain), but this time I have understated the events that took place in that library this evening. The entire facility was abuzz about it. I still cannot quite accept that it wasn't one of those secret practical joke shows, lol.
My stomach is literally still turning just recalling it. (w)

Yay, we had plans to go to the sushi /Chinese buffet for dinner! My first trip had sushi and pot stickers. Second one, steamed mussels and a bbq rib. Next time, variety plate. I tell Blaze I found fried bananas. Look I say..as I take a bite..Oh wait, it has a stick in it. First thought, they fried it on a stick.
Oh no, Blaze says, that's no banana, that's a frog leg.
I look at it, and swallow what I had bit and put it back on the plate. OMG...gross. That's exactly what it was.
They did have the sign, fried bananas!!
Blaze has not stopped laughing. He says I bit into the crutch the frog was using.
I just roll my eyes. Ha ha

I too cannot stand stinky people. I run into a few in my line of work, and of course, out and about in my personal day. I have a quick gag reflex so I have to watch myself when I pick up the scent!
Some foods gross me out. I dont understand the affection for okra...or tapioca pudding. Both feel gross in my mouth and I will anything to avoid them!
People who leave dirty diapers in public places. I found one in a shopping cart once...grrrrrrr
Public restrooms..........

So very many things that it is hard for me to read this thread!
As my friends say to me:
"And you are an RN?"
Yep. I had a lot of faking it to do in nursing school (meaning I had to do the work but choke the nausea down sometimes).
Those tall people came in handy for standing behind during the surgical rotation!

When I was a kid, my Dad used to make my sister and I take off the black socks he wore and clean the fuzz from between his toes.
To this day I will not touch other people's feet.

I knew I shouldn't have looked.
OMG that totally grosses me out. That and a hair in the food (I hate to even write it down) have caused me to not only, not eat or drink in the restaurant but never, ever, to return.
I even think about it when I watch Top Chef or Cupcake or Cake Wars. The women on Cupcake/Cake Wars always have long hair hanging in their face.
One woman on Food Network's new Spring Baking Championship (are we noticing a theme here?) has bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome with splints on both hands/arms and wore no vinyl gloves!! I was watching yesterday and silently screaming: "How are you going to wash your hands??"!
I had to take that show off the auto-record on my DVR.
Yes, I know I am half-mental about it.

Dear Wife and I just returned from the Midwest, where we attended the memorial service and burial of my Mother, who passed away and was cremated this past November.
Due to bad weather, Dear Wife and I got stuck in Denver, after our flight to St. Louis was cancelled, and we had to hole up in a Holiday Inn Express overnight. My wife was so cold, she hopped in a hot shower immediately after we got to our room. I was happy to sit down in the easy chair that was beside the bed. I happened to look over at the bed and noticed the area where the sheets and duvet had been turned back, and I thought I saw something strange. The edge of the bed was untucked and looked like it had been SLEPT IN. I went over and pulled the blankets and sheets back and took a look. It was VERY apparent that the housekeeper had neglected to change the bed sheets, because there were several "body hairs" on the sheets where two people would have lain, and the underside of a pillow revealed a very long, coarse, black hair!!! Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! :twitch:
Mortified, I tapped on the bathroom door and told my wife what I had found. She was disgusted!!! I called the front desk and was told that the housekeeping staff had left for the day, but they would be glad to "bring a clean set of sheets down" and my wife and I could change the sheets (ourselves). I wanted to leave, right then and there, and had it not been for the fact that all of the airport area hotels were full of stranded travelers, we would have. Thing is, it was late, the hotels were full and it was very, very cold and windy. The hotel offered to let us change rooms, but we were too tired to even do that. We had had only 2.5 hours of sleep the night before. I wasn't about to let my wife handle (someone else's) dirty sheets, so I accepted the hotel's offer of a set of clean ones and, with the help of the kindly front desk clerk, changed the bed sheets out, myself. I made the bed "military style", too, btw!!!
So yes, dirty bed linens squick me out. Big time!!! :seeingstars:
On a last note, the Holiday Inn Express refunded all of the charges for that night's stay and also reimbursed us for the $30 we spent for the pizza we had delivered to our room from Domino's Pizza. They were very gracious about the whole affair and we were very appreciative. I guess that, sometimes, "good help is hard to find".

I think that some of my "issues" have gotten worse as I have gotten older.
My recent ex thought it humerous that when we would stay at a motel or hotel, I would pull the duvet down and eyeball the sheets. Oh lord, I hate to tell you this but sometimes I would pack an extra sheet to put on top of the duvet because I know hotels hardly ever wash them
The other thing: bedbugs.
Every time that I travel, I worry about them. Once you have gotten them, or so the research states: they are an absolute bitch to get rid of.
I wanted to get a black light for traveling but the girl-friend absolutely put her foot down on the insanity of that :|
We compromised and would put the suitcases outside on the patio when we got back, just to make sure.
I still might get one now that she is out of the picture.
Aren't I a catch?! :):)
Ha!

We would travel well together. I do the same when I get to a hotel room- flip back the sheets and look for signs of hair, dirty sheets, or bed bugs.
