Why do they lock gas station bathrooms?

Ya see, this is where us brits and euros have a huge advantage. Small country, and we actually have towns and citys all over the place to stop at. No locked gas station bathrooms here :D

OMG, so true. I glad to say im one of the few who *will* wash my hands.

Okay, that was a groaner (heh heh heh...)

As for the corn reference that some people didn't seem to get. Corn doesn't digest. Don't believe me? take a look next time the day after.

it's prtty gross, particularly when you have to deal with other people's corn.

ICK!

Hehe. You should see my public restroom routine. :D

I push the stall open with my shoulder, and then grab some tp to protect my hand while I lock the door behind me. If they have those nifty toilet seat protecters, I'll grab one of those and use it. If not, I'll get long strips of tp and lay them around on the seat. After, if it's not one of those automatic flushie things, I'll get more tp to unlock the stall with, toss it in the bowl, and then flush with my foot. Usually, the stall door will swing open by itself. If not, I try to use my elbow or shoulder to get it open. Then, if there's not an automatic hand dryer, I'll grab some paper towels, tuck them under my arm, and wash my hands. If I'm really lucky the sink will have one of those automatic eyes and I won't have to touch the faucet. But if not, I'll dry my hands with the towels and then use the towels to turn off the water. Then, if there's a door that I have to open to leave, I'll use those same towels to open the door, then I'll hold the door open with my shoulder as I toss the paper towels in the trash. :D Voila!

Of course, there are those times when I'm just grateful to have a place to go and all phobias go out the window! Heehee. Maybe sometime I'll share my rather colorful stories of India! :D

i find that with the combination of the foot flush, and the shirt assisted door open, it's usually better to just bypass that nasty ass sink area all together.

i don't pee on my hands that often, so i'm in the clear.

actually, i think people should wash their hands BEFORE they go to the bathroom.


out.

No no! That's all wrong! :p There's no telling what's on that paper towel dispenser! I certainly can't touch it after washing my hands! Using my method, as outlined before, the germ risk is minimized to its fullest! Sheesh. ;) :D

Hmm, Alli? The lol! was meant as a reply to Gunners posting. ;)

Well, in that case we do have a prob, right?
The towels will never be free of germ. ;)

And what about grabbing those seat protectors, or the tp in the 1st place? Ur butt will be full of germs, right? :D

I'd love to help ya out on this, Alli, but I just don't know how. ;)

Hehe, I am just as compulsive as you guys! although I don't usually stuff the paper towels under my arm. If the dispenser has one of those levers, I just leave it hanging and pull it off after washing, then turn the water off. :p

L_S was concieved in a dirty Shell gas station bathroom, when a little spermy known now as L_S seeped out of his Mom's anus and crossed her choad into her vagina. A few days later, what L_S's Mom thought was a hangover turned out to be the L_S in the making. Isn't the creation of life beautiful?:)

This is one of the reasons that I'm glad I'm a guy, and bush or tree on the side of the road and you don't have to worry about Gas Station Restrooms :)
