When going into a public bathroom what are some things that you do that you feel is necessary?

Question

For me it's three things:

1. Wipe toilet seat with toilet paper first
2. Flush with my foot
3. Never set anything on the floor

I loathe using my school's bathrooms. Heck only the basement has the cleanest girl's bathroom.

4. Wash Hands

Answer 1

Pretty much the same but I cover vs. wipe cause I don't want to touch the seat in any way possible
1. Cover toilet seat with toilet paper first
2. Flush with my foot
3. Never set anything on the floor
4. Wash hands and get the hell out of there!

Answer 2

I don't do the following at every bathroom only at some that are gross. I put toilet paper on the seat so I don't have to sit on anything anyone before me might have left. I flush with a piece of toilet paper. Also before I wash my hands I put the paper towel down so when I'm finished cleaning my hands they don't have to get dirty again. Then I turn the sink off with the paper towel.

Answer 3

**ALWAYS WIPE THE SEAT!
ALWAYS PUT A seat cover or toilet paper on the seat!!
NEVER touch ANYTHING if I can help it!!
Flush w/ my foot ONLY!!!
NEVER put ANYTHING on the floor!

And TARGET BATHROOMS ARE THE WORST!!!! eeeeeeeyyyyyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!! SSOOOOOOOO NASTY!!!!! I wsa in there a few days ago - the whole after Thanksgiving day sale thing... and OMG!!!!!! The seats and stalls were all GROSS & "covered w/ stuff" !!!!!! (if ya know what I mean...
And, NO KIDDING!! This Mom about 25 years old (and she looked very nice to btw... new outfit, perfect up-do hair, great make-up...) brought her beautiful little girl in (that looked to be about 5 or 6...) so cute!!! Anyway, the slack-as..s Mom didn't even CHECK OUT THE FREAKIN' STALL TO MAKE SURE that it was clean or anything!!! (Which - btw - they NEVER ARE CLEAN IN TARGET!!!! NASTY GROSS PIGS!!!!!)
Anywho.... I had just opened BOTH of those doors (the one that the Mom USED AND the one that she sent her little girl into...) before they came in so I know both of them were SOOOOOOO NASTY!!!!!! And they did their "thing" and THEN LEFT W?OUT EVEN WASHING THEIR HANDS!!!! AND THE Mom DIDN"T EVEN CHECK THE LITTLE GIRL TO "ya know", like to "make sure she was "OK" to leave the bathroom"... OMG!! I WANTED TO SLAP THE %^%^%out of her and tel her what a stupid mother she was!!!!

thanx! I feel sooooooooo much better now that I was able to tell someone and GET THAT OFF MY CHEST!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!
WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!
GOD, I LOVE YAHOOANSWERS!!!!!! :)

I do similar, in public bathrooms i wipe down the seats first with toilet paper but i don't flush with my foot thats just too paranoid, i mean you're going to wash your hands anyways, oh and i completely agree about never setting anything on the floor, i mean you just don't know whats been there hey haha....personally i try to avoid going to public dunnies unless it's absolutely necessary...

Answer 5

Use seat cover, if not avail then yes cover seat with toilet paper, flush with my feet, don't let anything of mine touch the floor, wash hands and use a paper towel to open the door.

Answer 6

I hang my purse on the back of the door. Hover over the toilet seat so that my behind doesn't touch, flush with my foot, wash my hands and use the paper towel or my sleeve to open the door. Public restrooms are cesspools of disgusting filth.

Answer 7

About the same as you list. Only thing is being a male I don't aways have to use the toilet !! I always wash my hands after and use a towel to open the door if it swings into the bathroom

Answer 8

Ha ha... I only like to use the single bathroom in the Allied Health class. I have to make sure the door is locked, make sure the seat is clean, then flush with either my foot our toilet paper, then wash my hands and not touch the faucet afterwards... :-)

Answer 9

1. make sure there are no perverts peaking around the stalls.
2. make sure you're not smoking a cigarette with a teacher next to you.
3. Lysol your bum.
4. sit on the pot and do your business.
5. wipe well.
6. flush with whatever limb extends the furthest.
7. Lysol your bum.
8. turn on tap water.
9. suds your hands well with lots of soap.
10. dry your hands and shut tap off with a paper towel.
11. leave bathroom after throwing paper towel in dispenser.
12. pray and Lysol your entire body with eyes closed and don't inhale.

Answer 10

Lay toilet paper across the seat, flush with my foot, never set anything on the floor, wash my hands, dry with papertowel and use the papertowel to open the door. If they have the electric one I use my hands to open the door and rib them with gel. I am not paranoid but I have an auto immune disease (Rheumatoid Arthritis) and therefore be a bit leary.
