I am totally "annal" pardon the pun about public bathrooms I avoid touching anything at all with my bare hands. I am totally grossed out when people don't wash their hands. I like to hull them back to the sink.

I work in the nuclear medicine department of a hospital. We had a patient who was a hoverer. And she didn't aim well. Don't know who did it, but...nuclear medicine-radiation-radiation is filtered out of your body through your kidneys. People stepped in, walked all through the department. Radiation safety got involved, people had to leave their shoes at work until the radiation decayed away...only about 30 days. Good thing it was a short half-life isotope. We spent hours cleaning it up. Yuck!


So all you hoverers, squatters, or what ever. If you are being treated with radiation-please take the plunge and sit!

Oh my gosh somehow I missed this! Oh I am alot like LisaMarie the whole flush with foot get towel cranked out first use it to turn off water! My DH laughs at me cause I will almost pee myself waiting to get home because I HATE to use public restrooms! I do wipe the seat and then cover it and have taught my daughter to do the same although she sees no need in it! I am very OCD about things like that! I thought the seat covers were a great idea if only they didn't fall in the water as soon as you lay it on the seat. I always check the roll to make sure I have enough! That is a good one i will have to pass on!

Ladies, I agree 10000000%, I have acutally sent people back to the bathroom to wash their hands. But isn't it funny how we are from all walks of life, from different places, ages, etc. and yet, we manage to bond over bathrooms!!!!!!!!!! Plus, ever notice that the women's bathroom is always worse than the men's? It kinda scares me... Anyway, very funny stories chicklets!
