What grosses you out? - Page 15

Read somewhere that those bathroom paper seat covers are less sterile or hygienic than the seat itself.

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."

Well we can go back and forth all day.

I will just leave this here and leave it at that.

Rightfully so. When it has something called pink slime in it, it's bound to be a little bit gross.

I used a public restroom today and heard all of your voices in my head giving me advice on the best way to proceed.

I also thought of all of you in three different public restrooms today. It made me a little gleefull to know how grossed out you'd be!

OMG another reason I can use at my upcoming doctor's appointment when she asks why I haven't joined a gym YET !!!

There's all kinds of feces /shit out there and it's loaded with bacteria but nothing grosses me out more than shameless bullshit.

The things you find, in the way back places in your refrigerator, or even the veggies that have gotten covered up in the refrigerator bins!

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!

Whew.

It would be terrible if we couldn't be friends because of our bathroom habits.

Look, the bathroom for dome reason doesn't gross me out if it looks clean and kept up. The bathroom is not where my gross out factor lies. Mine is more around food. Dont even get me started on chewing and different food textures etc.

OMG, the sound of people smacking their food! It's right up there with someone who blows their nose at the table.

Now THAT grosses me out. I can watch blood and guts stuff and hear all kinds of horror/medical stories but hearing someone blow a snot missile into a napkin or, worse, their handkerchief at the table will flip my stomach instantly.

Disgusting.
