does anyone else get miffed when a public facility doesn't offer toilet seat covers?It isn't really just me is it?
We got into this discussion at work because someone(employee) was complaining
that someone else(customer) was complaining,
that we don't offer them at our place of business.
I chimed in that I agreed with someone(customer).
To which my boss mentioned that toilet seat covers don't actually offer any protection anyway.
She has a Masters in Biology, so I believe her.
I did mention what they do offer though,
PEACE OF MIND!
Especially if you sit down and the seat isn't cold,
@#$%^&^%$#@
(that's my code for getting the willies)
While on the subject of public restrooms,
I think the technology needs to be coordinated.
If the soap is motion sensitive, then the faucet should be too.
Same with the paper towel machine or the dryer!
and if your going to the trouble to make sure those of us who do wash our hands don't touch anything, how about making sure I can get out of said restroom without touching the same door that all those who don't wash their hands touch?
I try not to put too much thought into this,
(obviously not successfully)
because I did go through a phase where I would cover mine and my kids mouths with their shirts when we flushed.
Monk is simply misunderstood!

I have to admit, I never use them. I'm asking for germs on my butt, I guess.
Monk *is* misunderstood! My mom is exactly like monk in the sense that she has and carries wet wipes everywhere. The sanitizing kind..so she can wipe down menus in restaraunts, and the salt and pepper shakers, and our hands before we eat. I'm not really into all that but as far as toilets and public restrooms go, I'M WITH YA!
But now I need to do my own research. those paper covers have to protect you from SOMETHIN'..They just have to! I usually keep my paper towel, open the door with it, and then find the nearest garbage to toss it into. I like when they have a can near the inside door of the bathroom so I can open the door, hold it open with my foot, and then toss paper towel into that garbage. It's a system, ya know.
I love this post! I totally agree. Except I didn't get the covering your mouths with the shirt thing. I love you!
How could the toilet paper cover NOT protect you from SOMETHING?
You don't know how disappointed I am to tell you that the one time ever my husband and I plan on going somewhere w/o kids is this Sunday-Wed! He has to present some research in Florida and I'm going to tag along. We've never left the kids like this. We leave Sunday morning and get home Wed night.
Are you saying you guys plan on driving through Memphis on your cross country trip??? Well the return missionary girl staying at our house with the girls is totally chill and fun and you all should stay the night at our house. We have couches, floors, bathrooms, showers, food, laundry room, computer, television. Is Dieter coming for the trip too? We have a backyard with lots of squirrels and a place to run.
We also know people that are great at hosting southern style. So please let me know! Are you all driving back through here?
I could recommend a couple of things to do that don't cost $$$.
YES!!! I'll be waiting with bells on! So email when you know more details and I'll give you my phone number and all that! Yeah Yippy Yay Yes Yahoo!!!!

I have all of these same frets. Or how about when you flush and the flush is so powerful that it splashes up out of the toilet everywhere?? I wonder why those thingies don't offer protection. I'll ask your boss next time I see her. But I thought her Masters was botany. Maybe that was her focus.
Anyway, with kids, I have considered getting potty covers for my own toilets.
And they really do need auto-doors in the bathroom. You are a genius. I always push on the glass rather than the door pushy thing to avoid germs. And if I have to turn a knob, I use my sleeve. Sundays are particularly hard for me when you have to shake everyone's hand. When I have babies, I always hold them so I disable my ability to shake. I can't shake the bishop's hand who has shaken everyone else's and then touch my baby. It gives me the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it.
Monk, I love you, but you are a paranoid freakazoid. I wipe the toilets down every time I sit and let my shower take care of the rest. Of course I do wash hands and try to use the towel for a hand grip on the door, but if it's not available no biggie. Our immune system is there for a reason and as long as I do reasonable things to protect myself, my body will do the rest. You are right though, it's peace of mind for those paranoid freaks out there. ;)
You are too funny.
