I wish that there was a device that would alert everyone in the bathroom that you have not wahed your hands !!!!   This is so gross to me.  Do people honestly believe that "they" don't have germs ?!!  Get Real

yeah they should.. \n\nmost people are not really aware of all the microcrap there is out there.. \n\nmost ignore it.. \n\nmost say they dont even touch it, so why wash.. \n\nits a strange world, indeed..

It isn't very conventient, but carry a little bottle of hand sanitizer with you wherever you go. Germs are more likely to be transmitted by something you touch and then you rubbing your eyes or nose, not necessarily through the air.\n\nWash your hands when you can and sanitize them often and keep taking the Airborne and hopefully you'll make it.\n\nI have a cold right now, but don't worry, I don't think I can transmit it over the web. Achoo!

Yeah I agree. I've been saying for ages that if we have a bladder control problem, indigestion, AIDS, HIV, herpes, hemoroids, etc. then you have probably went to the doctor for these problems. Once there I'm sure the doctor gave you medicne for this. Why do they feel the need to advertise for this sort of stuff. Like if they didnt advertise tampons no one would use them? Yeah right! They need to get real.

My husband and kids went to a nice restaurant during the time that we were trying to get our daughter potty trained and I have always praised my daughter by clapping and saying "Yay, you went potty!!" Well I had to go to the bathroom and took my daughter with me and when we came out there was a whole bunch of people waiting to use the restroom and my daughter then clapped and said "Yay!! Mommy you went potty!" Needless to say I wanted to crawl under a table and die!!

not in public restrooms...here is my reasoning: my body is pretty clean...i know if i have a cold or something...and the skin on certain areas of my body is not any "germ-ier" than any other part.\n\nPublic restrooms w sinks people touch...counter tops people touch...paper dispensers people touch....can be really germy. I have no idea what these other people have picked up.\n\nSo, in a public restroom, I do not wash my hands. In my own home or at friends house...I usually do. Not always...but usually.

Talk about one of my pet peeves!  Not to mention it's really frightening to see people who know better (healthcare and food industry workers especially) not doing it!  I agree though, it's pure laziness.  There is always time to wash your hands.

I always cover my mouth when I cough or even yawn, and cover my nose and mouth when I sneeze, plus I turn away from other people when I either cough or sneeze... Just something I was taught to do. Same with washing my hands after using the restroom - I know what you mean, I get so disgusted with seeing what looks like the majority of people who don't wash their hands! \n\nI think part of it is lack of teaching, part is plain old laziness, and in others they just don't care. You have to admit, many people are remiss in teaching their children manners these days......

i HATE those auto flush toilets. has society gotten so lazy and germaphobic that they cant use a tissue to flush? \ni can kind of understand it in the handicapped stall, because someone who is disabled may have difficulty flushing\nbut you just gave me another reason to hate the dang things...cameras in there? (shudders at the thought)

I'm not germ-phobic; I think any vestiges of such a fear disappeared when I had a child.  Kids are incredibly tough, and as long as a place is reasonably clean, they're going to be fine.  I HAVE heard the idea that children are becoming more allergic to things like molds because their parents simply won't allow them to play outside in the dirt as much!  I do think that hand-washing is important, especially during flu season, and certainly when cooking, or dealing with an infant.  I believe it's like most things - excess in ANYTHING can be harmful, but all the things like hand sanitizers certainly have their place, especially in situations where there's no water available (car trip and dirty restrooms, for instance - yuck!)

If you walked into the bathroom & saw a toilet seat covered in blood or semen, would you sit down?  \n\nI didn't think so.  You would also need a cut on your butt for the virus to get inside your body.  \n\nDon't worry about bathrooms - you can't get HIV from toilet seats - it's only transmitted by blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk.  \n\nYou also cannot get stds (gonorrhea, chlamydia, crabs, herpes, hpv, etc.) from toilet seats.  If that myth was true - then we'd all have had an std by now -since we all have used a public restroom at least once in our lives!

Yes, it's disgusting to think about that. However, germs are everywhere, there's no avoiding them. Have you noticed though, that the most sickly children are the ones with the most neurotic parents, who make them wash up all the time, don't let them eat from anything, etc.? Maybe, as gross as it sounds, we really need to ingest all these germs, and that's how we build up a healthy immune system.

Ever watch "Myth Busters"??  They recently did a study on where bacteria lives in the common household.  Believe it or not, the toilet seat had the LEAST amount of bacteria.  Kitchen, of course, was number one.  If you're that worried about it, use the paper linings when you do your thing.

Hovering has it's advantages...those seat covers do nothing, if the seat is wet it goes right through them as well as any toilet paper you put down so what's the point?  Hovering can also be looked at as a strength training exercise, building strong quad muscles in the legs (hey, I'm looking for a bright side here to hovering).   But if I get so much as a drop of tinkly on the toily seat I am considerate enough to wipe it off.  I have never understood how women can pee all over the seat and then just leave it there?  Or worse yet, after going a very messy poo just leaving it for others to walk in on and view.  I pity the poor soul (minimum wage employee's usually) who have to clean it up.  People need to have some class!!!

That's kinda disgusting. It's funny if you don't wipe your ass. Even leaving like a booger on it would be funny.

I would LOVE for my spouse to clean the friggin' bathroom once in a while! It would definitely put a smile on my face. It's his hair I clean out of the sink. Don't even get me started on the toilet! If my little girl and I were the only ones living at home, the bathroom would be spotless more often than not. My husband and my two boys make the bathroom THE MOST HATED CHORE IN MY HOUSE.
