Or just pee, flush, leave?

A co-worker half-jokingly accused me of not washing my hands today because he heard the toilet flush as I left the bathroom. I told him I wash my hands BEFORE flushing. Flushing is like the school bell, man, it signifies closure. No?

But the handle has all sort of nasty germs and crap!

considering this would involve leaving the cubicle to wash my hands and returning to the cubicle to flush, this seems freakishly weird at best.

Yeah, that's bass-ackwards, dude.

But who am I to talk?

which way do you wipe?

I think the last thing to do is to wash your hands, then while still clutching the paper towel open the door and sprint down the hall hoping the germs don't find you.

and what if there are people queuing for the cubicle, do you come out and say "hang on a sec, i just have to wash my hands before flushing the loo and then it'll be all yours??" how bizarre!

Definitely pee flush wash. Think of the handle! Think of the sick things that have happened to it in its life of being attached to a toilet!

Personally, I wash with pee and then flush.

So I'm strongly recommending that you consider altering your habits.

Y'all so nasty!

I thought this thread referred to automatic bidets in the loo.

Many of the modern toilets in Japan have a nice warm water bidet/ass-showers with warm air dryers. Fortunately we're not quite to the point of Gibson's talking toilets, though.

And in Japan, you wouldn't have to leave the toilet cubicle to wash hands because there's a built-in wash basin on top of the toilet that releases clean (one hopes) when flushed.

So it's pee, wash (bidet), flush, and wash (hands) for me.

I always smile when I remember Moz introducing a song ("First of the Gang to Die") he claimed to have written while on the bidet in Portland, OR.

honestly, my dick is cleaner than the toilet flusher. so i pee, don't flush and leave (that is if i don't pee on my hands)

or i use my feet to flush (and lift the seat)

I'm never sure about this either. The problem is: it doesn't matter as long as everyone does it the same way. If anyone is different, you get contaminated!

(and what about the toilet door handle?)

It has to be pee, flush, wash at work. The seperate closets ensures this, as there is no sink in them. At home - I dunno. Normally the same.

So, can I raise - if you pee, flush, wash and then find that it hasn't flushed properly, do you flush again and wash again, or just flush and leave?

at work it's pee and wash due to the existence of the urinals.

washing is the closure isn't it.. wiping yourself clean of everything.

Do people who poo, flush, wash, do this in public toilets? Do they walk over to the sink, leaving their waste in the bowl, wash, and then go back and flush?

That was meant to say "pee" not "poo". Curious.

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Friday, 5 November 2004 11:06 (twenty-one years ago)

the same principle applies though (if not more potently)
